Fire engine diagnostics described at Rock Springs City Council meeting
Summary
At a Rock Springs City Council meeting, an unidentified speaker said technicians found no error codes after scanning a city fire engine that triggered a cooling alarm and are checking sensors and the engine control module to isolate the problem and avoid unnecessary part replacements.
At a Rock Springs City Council meeting, an unidentified speaker described diagnostic work on a city fire engine that had triggered a cooling alarm, saying technicians ran a scan and then moved to the engine control module to pinpoint the fault.
The speaker said technicians used a scan tool to check for electronic trouble codes and reported, "We have no codes." With no codes present, staff said they are testing sensors, wiring and the engine control module, checking for a 5-volt reference and a reliable ground to determine whether the sensor, wiring or the engine control unit is at fault.
The speaker introduced "Doug," whom the speaker identified as "one of our mechanic[s]," as the person performing the diagnostic work. The speaker described the repair strategy as targeted rather than broad: "We're not just gonna throw parts. We're gonna get to the prop." The speaker added, "That's gonna save us money," and said the team will "replace what needs to be replaced, not replace what doesn't."
No formal motions or votes were recorded in the transcript. According to the speaker, technicians will continue diagnostics on the vehicle to identify the specific faulty component before ordering or replacing parts.
The account focuses on municipal vehicle readiness and cost control; the transcript does not record a timetable for repairs or any budgetary request related to the work.
