Clearing Faults Functions
Use the Clear Faults button to clear all faults.
Allison Transmission faults can only be cleared if Allison DOC® For PC is installed.
When attempting to clear an Allison Transmission fault, Allison DOC® For PC will
be launched to perform this action.
Due to new Emissions regulations, clearing Engine faults may not work, since
those functions are being disallowed on emissions related components.
Fault Status Types
The following contains the details and descriptions of J1939 Fault Statuses as presented in
PSI PowerLink.
• Active
This status indicates that the fault is a currently active diagnostic trouble code. The
conditions required to enable this fault are currently present and must be repaired to
disable the fault code.
A fault code with this status can be cleared with a diagnostic tool but will immediately be
reported again after being cleared.
• Inactive
This status indicates that the fault is a previously active diagnostic trouble code. The
conditions that triggered this fault are currently NOT present.
A fault code with this status can be cleared with a diagnostic tool.
NOTE: Inactive fault codes with a high occurrence count may be intermittently occurring
and may need to be diagnosed before clearing.
• Pending
This status indicates that the fault occurred in the current or last completed drive cycle
and is used to report a fault at the initial detection of a malfunction. It is used for emission-
related components and systems. This fault status is intended to assist technicians after a
vehicle repair, or after clearing diagnostic information, by reporting test results after a single
driving cycle.
A fault code with this status can be cleared with a diagnostic tool.
• Permanent
This status means that the fault is a confirmed or “MIL-on” fault code that is stored in the
ECM and cannot be cleared using a diagnostic tool. The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
system may only clear the fault code when the OBD monitor that detected the malfunction
determines that the malfunction is no longer present, and is not commanding the MIL on.
WORKING WITH LIVE CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
PSI POWERLINK USER GUIDE
38
This usually requires the OBD monitor to run through certain drive cycles, to verify the
malfunction is no longer present.
• Emissions Active
This status indicates that the fault is a currently active, emissions-related diagnostic
trouble code. Faults with this status usually illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL). Specific regulations may allow the MIL to not be illuminated for some emissions-
related diagnostic trouble codes.
A fault code with this status can be cleared with a diagnostic tool but will immediately be
reported again after being cleared.
• Emissions Inactive
This status indicates that the fault is a previously active, emissions-related diagnostic
trouble code. Faults with this status will no longer illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).
A fault code with this status can be cleared with a diagnostic tool.
Launching OEM Applications
Launch a 3rd party (OEM) diagnostic application by clicking on the application Icon (i.e.
). If there are multiple applications available for a given component, a dialog will be
presented allowing for the selection of the desired application.
The application will immediately launch while PSI PowerLink continues to execute. If
PSI PowerLink is running in live connection mode, the application will disconnect from
the data bus before launching the third-party program. Once the launched application is
closed, PSI PowerLink will reconnect to the data bus.
Freeze Frame Parameters
If there is Freeze Frame data available for the selected fault, the Freeze Frame
Parameters icon becomes available. Click on the icon to view the Freeze Frame
data for the currently selected fault.

Key Data Points
Various Key Data Point collections exist for the following components: vehicle, engine,
transmission and brake. Each Key Data Point collection is graphically illustrated using
gauges, thermometers, etc. If a component in the Vehicle Readiness window is connected
on both high and low speeds then the high-speed data is used to populate the gauges in
the Key Data Points window. If the high-speed data is not available, then the low speed
data is used.
Lamp information is shown in each of the Key Data Point collections. If any component or
fault indicates a lamp status change, the Vehicle Readiness Lamp is updated to reflect that
change.
The current status of each of five lamps is shown:
Parking Brake Status: Switch signal which indicates when the parking brake is
set. Usually, the switch actuated by the operator’s park brake control, whether a pedal,
level or other control mechanism.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Signals an emissions-related fault code is active.
Protect Lamp: Signals a fault code or condition from a vehicle system that is not
usually related to an electronic subsystem, such as “Oil temperature too high”.
Red Stop Lamp: Signals a fault code is severe enough to stop the engine.
Amber Warning Lamp: Signals a fault code with a vehicle system but is not
severe enough to disable the vehicle.
Each Lamp Status can be shown as: Off (least severe), Flashing, or Steady On (most
severe).
