What does an ICE caution indicate?

An ICE caution indicates that ICE, which stands for Intercooler Element, is detected without any protection. This implies that the system has recognized a potential issue with the engine's intercooler performance but is not equipped with safeguards to manage or mitigate this fault. The absence of protection highlights a critical situation that requires immediate attention to prevent further damage to the system. In this context, being alerted to ICE detection without protective measures serves as a warning to the operator to take appropriate action before the situation escalates.

Understanding this distinction is vital for maintaining engine health, as it signals where intervention may be necessary to address the identified concern before it impacts engine performance or safety.
