The Engine Electronic Fuel System will shutdown on the actuation on any one of the following: – Emergency Stop (E-kill) – Engine Overspeed (10-15% over max. Engine no load speed) – High Engine Coolant Temperature (225 deg F) – High Exhaust Gas Temperature (379 deg F) – Low Engine Lube Oil Pressure (below 20 Psi)
Stopping the Engine (1). Standard shutdowns not involving hazardous conditions will be performed by pressing the Engine Stop button. (2). Emergency shutdown is achieved by pressing the Emergency Stop button. →The Emergency Stop is activated via the red mushroom shaped button on the Engine control panel. The system operates by closing the Engine air intake flap (Air Shutoff Valve) and directly disabling the fuel injection circuit (Injection Disabled). Read More: Injection Disabled on Status Flags Caterpillar ET Software.
#Graphed Parameters: →Engine Speed →Air Intake Shutoff Position (Off) →User Shutdown (On) (3). Automatic shutdown is by: a). Engine Overspeed
→The safety system is calibrated to the Engine’s normal maximum speed. If this figure is subsequently exceeded by 10-15%, the Engine will be shutdown by closing the air inlet valve (Air Shutoff Valve) and removing the fuel supply to the Fuel Injectors through the ECM (Injection Disabled). →To verify Overspeed shutdown system operation, push in the OS Verify button for a moment. The Engine must shutdown at 75% or more of Overspeed setting. Read More: How to Setting or Testing the Engine Overspeed using Caterpillar ET Software? →Monitoring System – Engine Overspeed
→Over temperature input is monitored by the ECM, if exceeded the pre-set/trip point, the Engine will be shutdown by removing the fuel supply to the Fuel Injectors. Read More: Event Codes: High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning (SPN 110 – FMI 15). →Monitoring System – High Engine Coolant Temperature
c). High Exhaust Gas Temperature. Read More: Auxiliary Temperature Sensor – Voltage Above Normal (Diagnostic Code: SPN 441 – FMI 3).
→Low oil lubricating pressure also monitored by the ECM, if exceeded the pre-set/trip point, the Engine will be shutdown by removing the fuel supply to the Fuel Injectors. Read More: Oil Pressure Voltage High – Diagnostic Code: SPN 100 – FMI 3 (On-Highway Trucks). →Monitoring System – Low Engine Oil Pressure
Here is an instruction show you guide on how to perform firmware update for Xentry diagnosis VCI.
Steps: Firmware update of the XENTRY Diagnosis VCI may be required after updating the diagnosis computer. This is displayed to you via a pop-up message. Firmware status information is also displayed in the VCI Manager: Click the “Update” menu item in the VCI Manager. Click on the “Start update” button.
When executing the update, please ensure that the USB connection between diagnosis computer and VCI is not interrupted:
Confirm by clicking on “OK”. The firmware update of the XENTRY Diagnosis VCI will start now.
You will receive a message after executing the firmware update:
Click on “OK”. Coupling between the diagnosis computer and VCI is confirmed in the next window. You can continue to work with XENTRY Diagnostics Open Shell as usual.
Test feedback today: New Range Rover Sport P300 (L494) year 2018 successfully added the smart key with original JLR DoIP VCI Pathfinder interface. The real JLR DoIP VCI costs $1300 more. You might get a vxdiag JLR DoIP (less than $600 with HDD) that will do the same job.

In sum:
1). Speed VXDIAG VCX SE is quick. This is unbelievably fast comparing with SVCI J2534. The SVCI is also not bad, but VCX SE is 6 or 7 times much faster than virtual machine if you run the clone from vcm2.
2). Stability VXDIAG VCX SE is more stable than STIC j2534 when used as Ford/Mazda j2534 passthru device.
3). VCX SE supports much more brands then SVCI and Godiag. STIC and Godiag does not have Benz and BMW optional license, VXDIAG does.
4). VXDIAG software is always kept up-to-date. The VCX is compatible with Ford IDS V128 and without change date. The SVCI with red housing only can make it working with old loader and V125, I have to install it in date 05-05-2022 , and make a batch file to change to that time so it works and don’t expire.
5).Godiag cannot be used as j2534 passthru for online programming so it is a fraction of VCX and SVCI price. For diagnostic purposes and DIYers, godiag j2534 is a good start. For programming, better choose vxdiag vcx se.
