be properly displayed.

Diagnostic Lamp Assembly

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

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.
