    Does anyone happen to know what Active Fault EEC (1) means? It started up a while ago. The #### smart idle will not stay on depriving my sleep. There is a yellow engine light and red engine light.

    I am near Chattanooga, no where near any terminal. Anyone know if this is a critical issue?

    Its a freightliner cascadia.

    Snoop around the on display menu system, there should be a diagnostic selection. Go into that , it will give you more info.
    If both yellow and red lights are on either it is going to shut down soon or derate you to 5 mph.

    I tried to do that I am not sure all i was able to get was eec 1. But that red engine light bothers me. I'll call breakdown and see what they say.

    We were going to try that next. I read that with check engine lights on it might not work. My codriver is resetting it with battery switch.

    Sounds like it needs a parked regen. Usually gives you some warning before the DPF just goes belly up.

    Try the regen. The red engine light means STOP.

    When it said eec 1 you should have been able to go deeper into that with the menu enter switch for more details.
