Circuit Description
The Centinel™ control module constantly monitors the operational parameters of the system. The status of the system is displayed by means of diagnostic lamps. There are two Centinel™ diagnostic lamps. They are green and red in color. The green lamp illuminates to indicate that the system’s operational parameters are within specified tolerances for heavy-duty only. For high-horsepower, the green light indicates the system has power. The red lamp illuminates to indicate that a system parameter is out of specified tolerances.
Component Location
Heavy-duty engines: The diagnostic lamps are located on the Centinel™
control module, located on the make up oil tank.
High-horsepower engines: The diagnostic lamps are located on the diagnostic lamp assembly on the oil make-up tank.
Shop Talk
There is no repair procedure for the heavy-duty. The module must be replaced. The following procedure pertains to high-horsepower only. Be certain the voltage of the high-horsepower diagnostic lamp assembly matches the application.

Troubleshooting Steps
| STEPS | SPECIFICATIONS | |
|---|---|---|
| STEP 1. | Check the diagnostic lamps. | |
| STEP 1A. Inspect the diagnostic lamps and Centinel™ harness connectors (high-horsepower only.) |
No damaged pins | |
| STEP 1B. Check the diagnostic lamps for an open. | Less than 2M ohms | |
| STEP 1C. Check the diagnostic lamps for a short. | More than 10 ohms | |
| STEP 2. | Check the Centinel™ harness. | |
| STEP 2A. Inspect the Centinel™ harness and the Centinel™ control module connectors. | No damaged pins | |
| STEP 2B. Check for an open circuit. | Less than 10 ohms | |
