A fuel system fault code is active and is currently limiting the engine torque and/or speed output. Check for active fuel system fault codes causing the derate.
Fueling High Speed Governor State
The engine is operating at the maximum engine speed. This is a normal state when the engine is operating on the high speed governor.
High Fuel Temperature Engine Protection
The engine torque output is being limited to to high fuel temperature. Troubleshoot the high fuel temperature conditions.
Industrial Auxiliary Governor
The industrial auxiliary governor is controlling engine speed. This is a normal state when the auxiliary governor is enabled.
