TID 000190.18 – INFORMATION FOR OPERATOR: Engine Speed Too Low
TID 000190.18 (TID 190.18)
Code: 000190.18
Shortcode: 190.18
Description:
This error code, TID 000190.18, indicates that the engine speed is too low. This situation may arise due to various reasons such as heavy load, insufficient fuel supply, or mechanical issues. The system monitors the engine speed and triggers this code when the speed falls below a predefined threshold.
Reaction:
When this code is detected, the transmission is automatically shifted into neutral to prevent the engine from stalling. This action helps protect the engine and transmission from potential damage due to low engine speed.
Recommendations:
- Increase Engine Speed: Ensure that the engine speed is increased to the appropriate level to prevent stalling.
- Check Fuel Supply: Inspect the fuel system for any blockages, leaks, or issues that might affect fuel supply. Ensure that the fuel filter is clean and that there is an adequate fuel level.
- Inspect Load: Assess the current load on the engine. If the load is too heavy, reduce it to ensure that the engine can maintain the required speed.
- Mechanical Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection of the engine and transmission for any mechanical issues that might be causing the engine to struggle. Look for worn-out components, improper adjustments, or other mechanical failures.
- Update Software: Ensure that the engine control unit (ECU) and related software are up-to-date with the latest versions to avoid any potential software-related issues.
Note:
It is important to regularly maintain the engine and transmission system to prevent such issues. Periodic checks and timely maintenance can help in identifying and resolving potential problems before they lead to engine speed issues. Additionally, be aware of the operational limits and avoid overloading the engine to maintain optimal performance.
