takes a moment to update each time

this screen is opened (as indicated

by a slight flickering of the list). Once

the list is updated, the most current

event will appear at the top of the

list. Each event has an associated

timestamp and description, which

will be displayed below the list when

that event is highlighted. Each key

cycle of the vehicle produces a

minimum of two logged events.

Touch the button labeled ‘Down’

to scroll down through the recorded

events.

Diagnosing EconoMind error

codes without the PowerPDA.
If you feel that your Banks EconoMind

Diesel Tuner is not functioning

properly, some diagnostics can be

performed. Your EconoMind Diesel

Tuner is equipped with diagnostic

features that will detect and display

certain errors.
Remove the Banks EconoMind Diesel

Tuner from its mounting location

while keeping all connectors plugged

in, and position it in such a way

that you can view the top of the

EconoMind housing that contains the

LEDs . Turn the vehicle key to the

ON position. Observe the two LEDs

mounted on the end of the Banks

EconoMind Diesel Tuner:
• A steady GREEn LED will illuminate

if all wire connections are correct,

the engine is running, and the engine

coolant temperature is within its

normal operating range.

• The GREEn LED will flash if all wire

connections are correct, the engine

is running, but the engine coolant

temperature is not within its normal

operating range. The GREEN LED will

stop flashing once the engine coolant

temperature is within its normal

operating range.
• no LEDs will illuminate if the fuse

on the EconoMind wiring harness is

blown or the wiring harness is not

properly connected. If the fuse and

all connections are okay, contact

Banks Technical Service.
• The RED LED will flash in a certain

sequence if a connection is incorrect

of if there is a problem with the

system – this sequence will identify

one or more diagnostic codes. A

Banks EconoMind Diesel Tuner’s

diagnostic code is comprised of 2

digits. Each code is expressed in a

sequence of 2 sets of the flashing

red LED separated by a brief flashing

of the green LED in between. Each

set of a number of red LED flashes

represents a digit. A longer flashing

of the green LED separates the

sequences. The LEDs will continue

to flash to display all the errors,

and then repeat. Table 1 lists the

common diagnostic codes. For

example, if a faulty thermocouple

is detected (code “2,3”) by the

Banks EconoMind Diesel Tuner, the

following red and green LED flashing

sequence is observed when the key

is on:
(1) Two times flashing RED LED
(2) One time quick flashing GREEN

LED
(3) Three times flashing RED LED
(4) One time longer flashing GREEN

LED
The above flashing sequence will

repeat continuously. When the

problem is corrected, the diagnostic

code will be eliminated and replaced

by a steady green light.
NOTE: If multiple codes are set,

they will be displayed in a series

separated by the longer flashing

green LED. When reading codes,

make sure to watch the entire series

until you see the first code repeat.
