3500B Engines for Caterpillar Built Power Modules with the ADEM 2 Electronic
Control Module
i01328798
System Overview
SMCS - 1901-038
The engine is designed for electronic control of most engine operating functions. The
electronic system consists of an Electronic Control Module (ECM), wiring harness,
switches, sensors, and Electronic Unit Injectors. The ECM monitors parameters during
engine operation.
Electronic Controls
Electronic Control Module
The ECM supplies signals to the Electronic Unit Injectors. The ECM signals control the
engine operation. The ECM consists of two main components, the control computer
(hardware) and the Personality Module (software). The control computer consists of a
microprocessor and electronic circuitry. The Personality Module is the software for the
control computer which contains operating maps that define power and torque curves.
The ECM governs engine speed. Desired engine rpm is determined by the throttle position
sensor signal and certain sensor readings. Diagnostic codes may derate the engine. Actual
engine rpm is determined by the Engine Speed/Timing signal.
Fuel Injection
The ECM controls the timing of the injectors. The ECM varies the signals to the injectors.
Fuel is injected ONLY while an injector solenoid is energized by a 105 volt signal from the
ECM. By controlling the timing and duration of the 105 volt signal, the ECM controls the
fuel injection timing, the quantity of fuel and the desired engine rpm.
Injection timing depends on engine rpm, load, and other operational factors. The ECM
detects the top center of each cylinder. The ECM sends an injection signal at the desired
time. The ECM limits engine power during cold mode operation. The ECM modifies the
injection timing and the ECM cuts out the cylinders. This will increase startability and this
will reduce warm up time.
1
Cold Mode is activated whenever the engine coolant temperature falls below a
predetermined value. Cold Mode remains active until the engine has warmed or a time limit
is exceeded.
The ECM is programmed at the factory which limits the quantity of fuel that can be
injected. The FRC Fuel Position controls the fuel limit for exhaust smoke. The FRC is
based on the maximum allowable fuel to air ratio. The FRC Fuel Position is increased when
the ECM senses a higher Turbocharger Compressor Outlet Pressure. This will allow more
fuel into the cylinder.
The Rated Fuel Position is a limit that is based on the engine power rating. This is similar
to the rack stops and the torque spring on a mechanically governed engine. The Rated Fuel
Position provides power. The Rated Fuel Position provides the power curves and the torque
curves for a specific engine family.

Self-Diagnostics
SMCS - 1901-038
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has the ability to detect problems with the ECM
inputs and outputs. When a problem is detected, a code is generated. An alarm may be
present at the electronic display module. The diagnostic code is stored in the memory of the
ECM.
Diagnostic Code
Event Code
Diagnostic Code - When a problem with the electronic system is detected, the ECM
generates a diagnostic code. The diagnostic code indicates electrical problems with the
circuitry.
Event Code - An event code is generated by the detection of an abnormal engine operating
condition. For example, an event code will be generated if the oil pressure is too low. In
this case, the event code indicates the symptom of a problem. Event codes indicate
mechanical problems rather than electronic problems.
Active
Logged
An active code indicates that a problem has been detected. The active code should be
serviced first. Refer to the following sections:
The ECM also records Logged codes. Logged codes are stored in the ECM memory. A
Logged code indicates that a problem was detected. The problem may have been repaired
and/or the problem no longer exists.
9
Logged codes may not indicate that a repair is needed. The problem may have been
temporary. The problem may have been resolved since the logging of the code. If the
system is powered, it is possible to generate an active diagnostic code whenever a
component is disconnected. When the component is reconnected, the code is no longer
active. Logged codes may be useful to help troubleshoot intermittent problems. Logged
codes can also be used to review the performance of the engine and the electronic system.

The Monitoring System monitors engine operating parameters. These parameters are stored
in the memory of the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The parameters can be accessed
on the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). Go to the "Monitoring System" menu and
activate the "Access service". The technician has the option of activating these monitoring
system parameters. These parameters can be programmed in order to warn the operator of
major problems that could develop in the operating system of the engine. The customer has
the ability to program the trip points and the delay times for these parameters.
If the Monitoring System detects a parameter that has exceeded a trip point, an internal
timer will be activated. The parameter must fall to a specific value below the value of the
trip point in order to reset the timer. The difference between the specific value and the
value of the trip point is called the Hysteresis. If the delay time is exceeded the Monitoring
System will initiate the programmed action. The Engine Monitoring System can initiate the
following events: Warning, Derate and Shutdown. Not all of these events are available for
each parameter. The engine monitoring system is enabled after the engine is started. When
23
the engine is within 50 rpm of low idle, the ECM will check the parameters. The ECM
checks for oil pressure after a 10 second delay. The delay is designed to eliminate false low
oil pressure warnings.
If the ECM generates an event, the event will be displayed as a "Status Flag" on the
"Status" screen on the Cat ET. Go to the "Information" menu on Cat ET and activate the
"Status" screen in order to see the active event. The event will be displayed across the top
of the screen with the name of the ECM and serial number of the product.
The Cat ET can be used to set the programmable limits of the parameters. To set the limits,
go to the "Service" menu on Cat ET. Select "Monitoring System". The screen for the
Monitoring System has the following four columns: Parameter description, State, Trip point
and Delay time. The following list describes the four columns:
In order to change the programmed limit, highlight the action or delay time and press the
"Change" button. If a password is required to change the limit the Monitoring System will
ask for either a "Factory Password" or a "Customer Password". Refer to the diagnostic
procedure Troubleshooting, "Factory Passwords" for information on passwords.
Note: Use care when you program the trip point and the delay times. The ECM response
must be correct for the application. If the legal range is not exceeded the engine monitoring
system will accept any setting. Table 1 contains the parameters and the default limits for the
Monitoring System.

Programming Parameters
SMCS - 1901-038
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) can be used to view certain parameters that can
affect the operation of the engine. Cat ET can also be used to change certain parameters.
32
Some of the parameters are protected from unauthorized changes by passwords. Parameters
that can be changed have a tattletale number. The tattletale number shows if a parameter
has been changed.
Factory Passwords
SMCS - 1901-038
Passwords
Passwords are part of a security system that helps to prevent unauthorized changing of
certain parameters. Passwords prevent unauthorized erasing of logged events. Passwords
allow the factory to control access to engine calibration parameters. Passwords allow the
customer to control access to certain engine parameters.
Factory Passwords
Factory passwords are required to clear any event code. Factory passwords are required to
change certain parameters such as "Full Load Setting". Factory passwords restrict changes
to authorized personnel. When the correct factory passwords have been entered, the
changes can then be made.
Note: Factory passwords are calculated on a computer system that is only available to
Caterpillar dealers.
In order to obtain the proper factory passwords, certain information must be given to an
authorized Caterpillar dealer. Since the factory passwords contain alphabetic characters, the
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) can be used to perform this function. In order to
obtain the factory passwords, proceed as if you already have the factory passwords. At
some point, if the factory passwords are actually needed, Cat ET will request the factory
passwords and Cat ET will display the information that is required to obtain the factory
passwords.
Note: The old interlock code and the new interlock code are required to change the
interlock code on a used Electronic Control Module (ECM).
The Cat ET screen for factory passwords will display the following parameters:
33
Serial number for Cat ET
Reason code
Interlock code
Total tattletale
Note: Factory passwords are only valid for the current Cat ET screen. A different set of
factory passwords will be required if you exit the current Cat ET screen. A different set of
passwords will be required to change information on another Cat ET screen.
Customer Passwords
Customer passwords allow the customer to restrict access to parameters that can be
changed by the customer. The customer passwords cannot be longer than eight characters.
The customer passwords may consist of alphanumeric characters. The customer has the
option of entering one or two customer passwords.
If customer passwords have been entered, then the customer passwords are required to
change any parameter that is customer programmable. Refer to the diagnostic procedure
Troubleshooting, "System Configuration Parameters" for more detail on parameters that are
customer programmable.
Note: If the customer passwords are lost, the parameters that are protected by customer
passwords cannot be changed. You must use factory passwords in order to read the
customer passwords. You may then use those customer passwords to change parameters
that have been protected by customer passwords.
View the factory password screen on the Electronic Technician. Record the following

Flash Programming
SMCS - 1901-038
The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) can be utilized to flash new software into the
personality module in the ECM. This is the preferred method for updating the software.
This procedure eliminates the need to physically remove the personality module from the
ECM. This procedure eliminates the risk of moisture entry into the ECM due to improper
seal installation. The flash is accomplished by transferring the data from the personal
computer (PC) to the ECM.
Note: If the PC and Cat ET are not available, the personality module can be physically
removed and replaced.
For example, if you are rerating an engine, you will still need factory passwords to change
the interlock code for the personality module.

Flash Programming a Personality Module
1. Start Cat ET.
4. When an ECM has been detected, the "ECM Selector" window will appear. Select the
appropriate ECM and then select "OK".
5. The flash files are located on a disk drive and in a directory. Select the correct disk drive
and the directory from "Drives" and "Directories" on Cat ET.
6. Select the correct file from the list of flash files. Read the "Description" and the "File Info"
in order to verify that the correct file is selected. Select "OK".
7. Select the "Begin Flash" button in order to program the personality module.
When the flash is completed, this message will appear: "Flash Completed
Successfully".
38
"The engine ID in the flash file does not match the engine ID in the ECM."
This message means that the ECM has a personality module for a different engine. For
example, the ECM has a personality module for a 3512B Marine Engine and you are
attempting to program another personality module into the ECM.
If you receive this message, stop the transfer. Access the information about the ECM
summary under the "Information Menu". Be certain that you are transferring the correct file
for your engine.
"The application ID in the flash file does not match the application ID in the ECM."
This message means that the ECM has a personality module for a different application.
If you receive this message, stop the transfer. Access the information about the ECM
summary under the "Information Menu". Be certain that you are transferring the correct file
for your engine.
"The ECM ID in the flash file does not match the ECM ID in the ECM."
This message means that the ECM is not the correct ECM for the engine.
If you receive this message, stop the transfer. Access the information about the ECM
summary under the "Information Menu". Be certain that you are using the correct ECM for
your engine.
Note: If a problem occurs, refer to the documentation that accompanies Cat ET.
System Configuration Parameters are parameters that affect emissions, power of the engine,
and other features. The parameters are programmed at the factory. In most cases, the
parameters do not need to be changed. The System Configuration Parameters must be
reprogrammed if an ECM is replaced and/or the engine rating is reprogrammed. System
Configuration Parameters do not need to be reprogrammed if the Personality Module is
replaced. Proper values for these parameters are available on an Electronic Service Tool.
Certain Configuration Parameters are also stamped on the Engine Information Plate.
Note: Changing the parameters that are protected by factory passwords may cause your
Caterpillar warranty to be voided.
39
Check Programmable Parameters (268-02)
The ECM stores a code number in permanent memory. This code is called an Interlock
Code that is associated with each personality module part number. The Interlock Code does
not allow the engine to run if the wrong Personality Module is FLASH downloaded into the
ECM.
The ET will warn you if a file is FLASH downloaded that does not match the last file in the
ECM. The Interlock Code must be reprogrammed with the ET in order to allow the engine
to run with new software. For instructions on reprogramming the Interlock Code, refer to
the Special Instruction, SEHS9343. Installing the incorrect ECM software may void the
Caterpillar warranty. The 3500B ECM and another Caterpillar ECM may appear to be
similar, but the ECMs are different. These different ECMs can not be interchanged. For
example, a 3412E ECM can not be used to replace a 3500B ECM. The Interlock Code can
not be reset if the wrong ECM is installed. If an incorrect ECM is used, a 253-02
Personality Module Mismatch diagnostic code becomes active. The fuel injection is
disabled in order to prevent the engine from starting. Verify the correct ECM part number
by checking the part number that is listed in the Parts Manual or by checking the last two
characters of the ECM serial number. The correct ECM serial number ends with CD.
When the engine is rerated, programming the Interlock Code to zero will prompt the ECM.
The ECM will read the stored code and the ECM will match the stored code to the new
Interlock Code.
The engine serial number should be programmed to match the engine information plate.
The serial number is not programmed on a new ECM.
This parameter is used to set engine power. A Factory Password is required to change this
setting.

Probable Causes
Faulty temperature regulator
Radiator
Low coolant level
Faulty jacket water coolant pump
Faulty engine cooling fan (if equipped)
Faulty pressure relief valve
Recommended Actions
Faulty Temperature Regulator
Check the water temperature regulator. A water temperature regulator that does not open,
or a water temperature regulator that only opens part of the way can cause overheating.
Radiator
1. Check the cooling fins on the radiator for dirt and/or for debris. Remove the dirt
and/or debris.
Inspect the cooling fins on the radiator for damage. Refer to the Systems
Operation/Testing and Adjusting manual.
2. Check the radiator for internal blockage. Check the temperature difference between
the top and the bottom of the radiator.
60
1. Verify that the cooling system is filled to the proper level. If the coolant level is too
low, air will get into the cooling system. Air in the cooling system will cause a
reduction in coolant flow and bubbles in the coolant. Air bubbles will keep coolant
away from the engine parts, which will prevent the transfer of heat to the coolant.
Low coolant level is caused by leaks or incorrectly filling the radiator.
2. Check the mixture of antifreeze and water. The mixture should be approximately 50
percent water and 50 percent antifreeze with 3 to 6 percent coolant conditioner.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual. If the coolant mixture is incorrect,
drain the system. Put the correct mixture of water, antifreeze and coolant
conditioner in the cooling system.
3. Check for air in the cooling system. Air can enter the cooling system in different
ways. The most common causes of air in the cooling system are the incorrect filling
of the cooling system and combustion gas leakage into the cooling system.
Combustion gas can get into the system through inside cracks, a damaged cylinder
head, or a damaged cylinder head gasket.
4. Check the cooling system hoses and clamps. Damaged hoses with leaks can
normally be seen. Hoses that have no visual leaks can soften during operation. The
soft areas of the hose can become kinked or crushed during operation. These areas
of the hose can restrict the coolant flow. Hoses become soft and/or get cracks after a
period of time. The inside of a hose can deteriorate, and the loose particles of the
hose can restrict the coolant flow.
Inspect the impeller vanes at the jacket water pump for damage and/or for erosion. Repair
impeller vanes and/or replace the impeller vanes.
1. If the fan is belt driven, check for loose drive belts. A loose fan drive belt will cause
a reduction in the air flow across the radiator. Check the fan drive belt for proper
belt tension. Adjust the tension of the fan drive belt, if necessary. Refer to Operation
and Maintenance Manual.
2. Check the fan clutch, if equipped. A fan clutch or a hydraulic driven fan that is not
turning at the correct speed can cause improper air speed across the radiator core.
The lack of proper air flow across the radiator core can cause the coolant not to cool
to the proper temperature differential.
61

Diagnostic Codes
SMCS - 1901-038
Diagnostic codes alert the operator that a problem exists. Diagnostic codes indicate the
nature of the problem to the service technician. Diagnostic codes consist of the MID, CID
and FMI. The module identifier (MID) indicates the electronic module that generated the
diagnostic code. The MID for the ECM is 36. The component identifier (CID) indicates the
component in the system. The failure mode identifier (FMI) indicates the failure mode that
is present. Diagnostic codes may be viewed on an Electronic Service Tool. Do not confuse
diagnostic codes with diagnostic events.
An Active diagnostic code represents a problem with the electronic control system. This
problem should be corrected as soon as possible. When an active diagnostic code is
generated, a display module such as the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) may produce
a warning.
When the ECM generates a diagnostic code the ECM logs the code in permanent memory.
The ECM has an internal diagnostic clock. The ECM will record the hour of the first
occurrence of the diagnostic code. The ECM will record the hour of the last occurrence of
the diagnostic code. The ECM will record the number of occurrences of the code. This
information is a valuable indicator for troubleshooting intermittent problems. Some
diagnostic codes may log occurrences that did not result in complaints. The most likely
cause of an intermittent problem is a faulty connection or damaged wiring. The next likely
cause is a component failure. The least likely cause is the failure of the ECM. Diagnostic
codes that are logged repeatedly may indicate a problem that needs special investigation.
102
If the symptoms continue, use the proper procedure for troubleshooting the symptoms that
have been experienced by the operator.
Note: Always clear logged diagnostic codes after investigating and correcting the problem
which generated the code.
Logged Events
The ECM can log events. Events refer to engine operating conditions such as low oil
pressure or high coolant temperature. Logged events do not indicate an electronic system
problem.

System Operation Description:
The ECM has the ability to stop the engine by cutting off the air supply in an emergency
situation. The ECM activates a relay which activates the air shutoff solenoid.
There are two conditions which cause the engine control to activate the air shutoff relay.
The first condition occurs when the operator initiates a shutdown. When the shutdown is
recognized, fuel is shut off and the air shutoff relay is activated. The ECM will hold the
relay active for 1.5 seconds. The second condition is for an engine overspeed. Engine
overspeed can be a real overspeed condition. Overspeed can be obtained by using the
overspeed verify switch.
The air shutoff relay can also be activated without the aid of the ECM. When the
emergency stop is used, a relay is activated for 2.5 seconds.
Regardless of the reason for activation, the ECS must be turned to the OFF/RESET position
for three seconds in order to reset the engine controls.

ECM/Personality Module
SMCS - 1901-038
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is the computer which controls the engine. The
Personality Module is the software which controls the computer. The two must be used
together.
The personality module contains all of the software for the ECM. Updating the personality
module to a different version may cause some engine features to behave differently.
Control maps are used to define engine operation for various conditions. These maps help
the engine to achieve optimum performance. The maps are programmed into the
personality module at the factory.
The ECM uses FLASH memory. The ECM retains programmed information indefinitely.
The reprogramming process is called Flash Programming.

The ECM receives electrical power from the Engine Control Switch (ECS) when the switch
is in the AUTO, START or STOP position. A signal is provided to the ECM that senses the
position of the Engine Control Switch. When the ECM senses battery voltage on this input,
the ECM will power up. If the voltage is removed from the input, the ECM will power
down.
With intermittent faults, you may want to bypass the engine wiring. Bypassing the wiring
helps to locate the problem. If the problem is no longer present with the bypass in place the
engine wiring is faulty.
Note: If your system has EMCP II, refer to Service Manual, SENR5398.

The ECM receives four input signals from the ECS. The input signals allow the control to
determine the mode of operation. The ECS can operate in four modes: OFF/RESET,
MAN/START, COOLDOWN/STOP and AUTO.
When the ECS is set to the OFF/RESET position, the START/RUN/STOP input and the
AUTO input are open. The ECM is not powered. Engine operation will stop when the ECS
is switched to this position.
When the ECS is set to the AUTO position, the START/RUN/STOP input is open and the
AUTO input is low. The ECM is powered. If the remote START/STOP Switch is closed,
the engine start sequence will begin.
When the ECS is set to the MAN/START position, The START/RUN/STOP input is low
and the ECS in AUTO input is open. The ECM will begin the engine start sequence.
207
When the ECS is set to the COOLDOWN/STOP position, the START/RUN/STOP input
and the ECS in AUTO input are open. After the engine cooldown, the ECM will shut down
the engine.
If the signals from the START/RUN/STOP input are opposite, the ECM determines that
one of the signals is faulty. The ECM ignores the signals until power is cycled to the ECM.
If this occurs, the engine must be cranked manually. Use the Manual Crank Switch which is
located inside the Electronic Instrument Panel. When the engine is shut down, the ECS
must be placed in the OFF/RESET position. This will disconnect power to the ECM. A
CID-FMI will be active until the ECM is powered down. The parameter for the Ignition
Switch will display "ABNORMAL DATA" until power to the ECM is cycled.
If you close the Remote START/STOP Switch, and the ECS is in the AUTO position, the
engine will start. The parameter for the switch will display "ON" or "OFF". This parameter
is available on the ET only when the ECS is in the AUTO position.

The ECM controls the ether system. The ether system has two operating modes. The ether
system can operate in AUTO mode and in MANUAL mode. The engine coolant
236
temperature and the engine rpm is used to determine ether injection. AUTO ether injection
will activate for a minimum of 15 seconds at 300 °C (572 °F) and a maximum of 130
seconds at 500 °C (932 °F). AUTO ether injection is disabled whenever engine rpm
exceeds 400 RPM or the engine coolant temperature exceeds 300 °C (572 °F).
MANUAL mode delivers ether to the engine when the Starting Aid Switch is placed in the
MANUAL position. The manual position allows the ether to be injected when the engine
rpm is greater than 50 RPM and the coolant temperature is less than 300 °C (572 °F). The
MANUAL mode will allow ether to be injected for a maximum of 130 seconds when the
switch is toggled.
Two driver outputs are used from the ECM. One output provides +Battery to one terminal
of the Ether Start relay. The other terminal is connected to the Digital Return. The other
output connects one terminal of the Ether Hold Relay to -Battery and the other terminal to
+Battery. The drivers and the relays are used to provide a voltage signal. The voltage signal
is used to actuate the solenoids. A lower voltage signal is used to hold the Ether solenoid
valves open. The solenoids will be damaged if battery voltage is applied continuously.

Injector Solenoids
SMCS - 1290-038-JV
The engine has Electronic Unit Injectors that are mechanically actuated and electronically
energized. The Electronic Control Module sends a 105 volt pulse to each injector solenoid.
The pulse is sent at the proper time and at the correct duration for a given engine load and
speed. The solenoid is mounted on top of the fuel injector body. The 105 volt pulse can be
individually cut out to aid in troubleshooting misfire problems.
If an open is detected in the solenoid circuit, a diagnostic code is generated. The ECM
continues to try to fire the injector. If a short is detected, a diagnostic code is generated. The
251
ECM will disable the solenoid circuit. The ECM will then enable the solenoid. If the short
circuit remains this sequence of events will be repeated until the problem is corrected.

C. Disconnect the suspect connector and inspect the connector seal. Ensure that the
seals are in good condition. If necessary, replace the connector.
Note: It is normal to see some minor seal abrasion on connector seals. Minor seal
abrasion will not allow the entry of moisture.
If moisture or corrosion is evident in the connector, the source of the moisture entry
must be found and the source of the moisture entry must be repaired. If the source
of the moisture entry is not repaired, the problem will recur. Simply drying the
connector will not fix the problem. Check the following items for the possible
moisture entry path:
o Missing seals
o Improperly installed seals
265
o Nicks in exposed insulation
o Improperly mated connectors
Moisture can also travel to a connector through the inside of a wire. If moisture is
found in a connector, thoroughly check the connector's harness for damage. Also
check other connectors that share the harness for moisture.
Note: The ECM is a sealed unit. If moisture is found in an ECM connector, the
ECM is not the source of the moisture. Do not replace the ECM.
Expected Result:
The harness wiring, connectors, and seals are in good condition. There is no evidence of
moisture in the connectors.
Results:
OK - The harness wiring, connectors, and seals are in good condition. Proceed to

Repair: Repair the connectors or the wiring, as required. Ensure that all of the seals
are properly in place. Ensure that the connectors have been reattached.If corrosion is
evident on the pins, sockets or the connector, use only denatured alcohol to remove
the corrosion. Use a cotton swab or a soft brush to remove the corrosion.If moisture
was found in the connectors, run the engine for several minutes and check again for
moisture. If moisture reappears, the moisture is wicking into the connector. Even if
the moisture entry path is repaired, it may be necessary to replace the wires.Verify
that the repair eliminates the problem.

Speed Control
SMCS - 1901-038
The engine speed control is used to provide a throttle signal and droop signal to the engine
control. The output for rated speed is a pulse width modulated signal. The signal varies
with the position of the speed adjust potentiometer. The output for droop is a pulse width
modulated signal. The signal varies with the position of the droop adjust potentiometer. The
output signal is expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100 percent for the speed adjust
potentiometer and between 0 and 10 percent for the droop adjust potentiometer.
The ECM calculates the desired engine rpm. The desired engine rpm is produced by the
signal from the rated speed setting and the droop signal. The rated speed signal is valid
290
when the duty cycle is in the range of 5 to 95 percent. If the rated speed signal is invalid,
the engine will be set to the low idle.
The droop signal is valid when the duty cycle is in the range of 15 to 85 percent. If the
droop signal is invalid, the engine will run with NO droop.
Some applications may choose not to use the speed control. Some applications may use a
load sharing unit. The unit is configured to provide the engine control with a rated speed
signal. Some of these units can not provide a signal until the engine is running. In these
cases, troubleshooting should be performed while the engine is running.

The ECM has the ability to crank the engine when the ECS is placed in the START
position. The engine control will start the first crank cycle, when the ECS is placed in the
START position. The crank cycle will continue for the time that is equal to the cycle crank
time that has been programmed or the crank cycle will continue until the engine speed
reaches the crank terminate speed. If crank terminate speed is not reached before the cycle
crank time, the starting motor will deactivate for a time that is equal to the cycle crank time.
This process will repeat for a programmed amount of times (Total Number of Crank
Cycles). If the engine does not start the starter mode on the Electronic Service Tool will
display "OVERCRANK". The engine control will be in an idle state. The process can be
restarted by turning the ECS to the OFF/RESET. Next turn the ECS to the STOP position.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) attempts to perform an automatic calibration of all
pressure sensors whenever the ECM is powered and the engine has been off for at least ten
seconds. Cranking the engine during the first ten seconds causes the ECM to abort the
calibration attempt.
During an automatic pressure sensor calibration, the ECM checks all pressure sensors
against an acceptable range. If any pressure sensor reading is outside the acceptable range,
the previous calibration value is used. The ECM then calibrates all pressure sensors against
the atmospheric pressure sensor.
A pressure sensor calibration will not be successful if there are active sensor diagnostic
codes with an FMI of 03 and/or 04. A pressure sensor calibration will not be successful if
one of the following conditions exist:

The Engine Speed/Timing Sensor provides engine information to the Electronic Control
Module (ECM). The sensor generates a pulse signal. A loss of the engine speed/timing
signal causes the ECM to stop sending power to the fuel injectors.
The ECM provides the Engine Speed/Timing Sensor with 12.5 ± 1.0 VDC. A unique tooth
on the timing reference gear generates a unique duty cycle. The signal provides the ECM
with information on the engine position.
