dicates that this is the fifth occurrence of this fault.
(The InPower service tool is required to review the
last four faults of this code.)
The Occurrences number is incremented for each
new occurrence of the same fault. The controller
must detect that the original sensed fault is cor-
rected before it will increment the occurrence num-
ber for that fault.
For example, when a Low Oil Pressure fault is de-
tected, the controller will increment the Occurrences
number by 1. This fault will remain active until the
controller detects that the fault is corrected. An ac-
tive fault will prevent the controller from increment-
ing the Occurrences number each time the engine is
started. When the controller detects that the oil pres-
sure is normal the fault will become inactive, allow-
ing the occurrences number to be incremented for
the next detected Low Oil Pressure fault.

FAN BEARING RE-LUBRICATION
BEARINGS
Re-lubricate the fan bearings at the interval speci-
fied in the Maintenance Table. A grease fitting is
provided for each of the two bearings to allow the
use of a grease gun to re-lubricate the bearings.
The grease fittings are located on side of the fan
housing pedestal structure (Figure 5-4).
The recommended lubricant is a lithium based
grease, such as, Mobilux EP 2, Mobilith AW 2, or
Shell Alvania R3.
Note the following quantities when re-lubricating
the bearings.
