Fault codes

Yes, the DID will show fault codes. You can't be moving though, must be parked, (safety thing). I forget exactly how, but you just have to navigate around the menus a bit to find it.

 

I check the manual too and I did not find anything about reading faults either. The current model is not the same as the first generation. Maybe I am wrong, and these new ones can't display faults. I also read that the display being able to show faults is an extra option. Not sure if this is for the first or current generation of display. I will have to keep an eye out for one and try it.

 

Displaying Diagnostic Trouble Codes​

​

The ability to display diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) is an optional feature. Instrument Panel (IP) Fault code retrieval on 2007 products will require the customer to order the code below. If this code isn't ordered the driver/customer won't be able to retrieve fault codes without a tool.
16HKT IP CLUSTER DISPLAY On Board Diagnostics in Gauge Cluster

If the above feature is on the truck, codes may be displayed on either the gauge cluster or an optional vehicle information display (VID). The vehicle must be equipped with the option to display codes in both cases. Codes will not be displayed on the gauge cluster if the vehicle is equipped with the VID.

I found this today, it applies for 2007 and later Prostars. Basically even though you ordered the VID, you also needed to order the option to read codes in addition to the VID. This is stupid, reading fault codes should automatically be included with the VID. I didn't get a chance to play around today, but I will see if this is just a simple feature that we can enable, which is quick and easy to do. We don't have programming access to some codes. It was explained to me like this; the ability to display codes, and bypass the requirement for a service tool is a option you pay extra for since the truck is now able to display these codes instead of a scan tool. It is just another money grab accessory, but kinda useful. To display codes is a technology that International provides. The Lectronix display is a 3rd party supplier with their own technology to display but does not included scanning for and displaying faults unless you paid extra to have that feature enabled. It is dumb. Off the record... most OEMs and fleets do not want the drivers messing around with the truck and retrieving fault codes and try to fix the trucks themselves, especially when they are still under warranty. This is another reason it may be an option.

I did find the features in another Prostar. Every Lone or Prostar will have the same list of features, some are programmed in an others are not depending on how the unit is spec'd and ordered. For fault code display you there are three feature codes to be switched. You would need to turn off, "No reporting diagnostic in LCD display", then turn on "Diagnostic reporting for VID". There is a third for "Diagnostic reporting for LCD display", but I think the way it was coded you would turn on one or the other. Any International dealer with Diamond Logic Builder software can do this. Some techs can make changes and some can't. This can be done in a matter of minutes. The way the software and our laptops work, we must be connected to International through the internet and be logged on. When ever changes are made the updates are automatically uploaded to International servers. So International will know the feature was enabled. I have no idea if this will incur some kind of expense or charge direct from International. Best case scenario, next time your truck is in for service for something else, pull the tech aside, tell him what you want, offer to buy him a coffee, and you'll probably get it done for nothing! Good luck!
