Overview
| CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
| Fault Code: 414 PID: FMI: LAMP: SRT: |
J1587 Datalink Time-Out. The data was not received by the Centinel™ control module within the specified time. |
The Centinel™ system will not monitor engine dynamics and can not operate. |

J1587 Datalink |
![]() |
Circuit Description
The J1587 datalink provides communications capability between the parent engine electronic control module (ECM) and the Centinel™ control module. This allows the Centinel™ system the ability to monitor engine dynamics. Using these data, the Centinel™ system is able to function within the specified parameters.
Shop Talk
Before proceeding with this fault code, make certain that the Centinel™
wiring harness connector is securely connected to the J1587 datalink.
