C7 Scan Gauge Code

Does anyone know what the code given by my Scan Gauge for a Cat C7 means?
ID 639
FM 12
Cnt 24

Thanks,

  • Thanks for the responses.. It seems to be running okay and no codes on the Info Center.

  • One possibility I came across is “J1939 data link communication error”.
  • ID...tells you what’s wrong. ie: oil pressure, water temp etc. Sorry but I do not know what the 639 code pertains to.

    FM...stands for failure mode. 12 means a device or component is not working properly. So likely it’s a sensor that needs replaced.

    CNT ....stands for count. Number of times it’s failed.

    Hopefully someone with a C7 will be able to tell you what the 639 code is.

    Or you can call Linear Logic at 1--888-433-5664.

    Do not have that hardware but those codes almost look like "log on information".

    ID
    Firmware version
    Control

    But that is a pure guess

    Google Scan Gauge Manual (Turns out several companies make scan gauge) and pick the one that matches the maker of YOUR gauge.
  • Hmm.. no manual? I found that same error on another site but the pdf download was weird.
