Engine Control System Failure - Power Derate Active

Komatsu Heavy Equipment Critical Engine

Model: Komatsu PC200 Excavator | Code: E11

Applicable Systems
PC200 Excavator

Symptoms

Engine output power decreased to protect engine; derate indicator active; limited RPM range.

Possible Causes

  • Engine protection system active (oil temp/coolant temp)
  • ECM detected condition requiring power reduction
  • Sensor failure triggering protection mode

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check all engine-related active codes (oil pressure, temp)
    No other active engine codes
  2. Step 2: Verify engine oil pressure at operating temp
    Oil pressure 0.3-0.5 MPa at idle
  3. Step 3: Check coolant temperature (normal < 105C)
    Coolant temp within normal range
  4. Step 4: Inspect oil and coolant level
    Both at proper levels
  5. Step 5: Clear E11 after resolving underlying condition
    No derate, full power restored

How to Reset

Clear via monitor panel after resolving root cause of protection activation.

Common Replacement Parts

  • Engine Oil Filter P/N: 600-185-4100
  • Coolant Filter P/N: 600-185-4200

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Will engine recover power automatically?

    If the protection condition resolves (temp drops, oil pressure recovers), power may restore. But code must be cleared to fully reset.
