SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTES, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Do not attempt to service engine without obtaining and reviewing this service manual
EGES-215. See related application or chassis service manual(s) for additional notes,
cautions and warnings.

Always disconnect the main negative battery cable before working on the electrical system.

After servicing, be sure all tools, parts, or servicing equipment are removed from the vehicle or engine.

Keep a “charged” fire extinguisher within reach whenever you work in an area where fire may occur. Also, be
sure you have the correct type of extinguisher for the situation:

Type A: Wood, Paper, Textile and Rubbish


Type B: Flammable Liquids
Type C: Electrical Equipment

To avoid personal injury comply with the following warnings:

Keep work area organized and clean. Wipe up oil spills of any kind. Keep tools and parts off floor. Eliminate
the possibility of a fall.

Be sure to reinstall safety devices, guards or shields after adjusting and/or servicing the engine.

Do not wear rings, wrist watches, loose fitting clothing or unrestrained long hair, when working on machinery,
they could catch on moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes. Never adjust and/or service a
machine in bare feet, sandals, or sneakers.

Do not use defective portable power tools. Check for frayed cords prior to using the tool. Be sure all electric
tools are grounded. Severe injury can occur if electrical equipment is defective or not used properly.

Be careful when using compressed air. Never apply compressed air to any part of the body or clothing.

Use approved air blow guns. Do not exceed recommended pressure. Wear safety glasses or goggles and use
proper shielding to protect everyone in the work area.

When refueling, keep the hose and nozzle or the funnel and container in contact with the metal of the fuel tank
to avoid the possibility of an electric spark igniting the fuel.

Do not over fill the fuel tank — overflow creates a fire hazard.

Do not smoke when refueling and never refuel when the engine is running.

Electric storage batteries give off highly flammable hydrogen gas when charging and continue to do so for
some time after receiving a steady charge. Do not under any circumstances allow smoking, an electric spark
or open flame near the battery or explosion may occur.

FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM


FUEL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The fuel system consists of three major subsystems:

• Fuel Supply System (See Figure 1, page 6)


• Injection Control Pressure System (See Figure 3, page 9)
• Fuel Injector (See Figure 8, page 13)

These subsystems work together to inject pressurized fuel into the combustion chambers. The function of the
fuel supply system is to deliver fuel to the injectors. The Injection Control Pressure system (ICP) supplies
the injectors with high pressure oil and the electronic control system controls the moment and duration of
the injection.

All three systems converge into the Hydraulically Actuated Electronically controlled Unit Injector (HEUI).

The function of the fuel supply system is to deliver fuel from the fuel tank(s) to the injectors. The components
involved in this task are:

• Fuel tanks
• Fuel supply lines
• Fuel strainer
• Fuel filter
• Priming (hand) pump
• Fuel supply pump
• Fuel / Oil supply manifold
• Fuel passages (within fuel supply manifold and cylinder head to supply the injectors)
• Fuel pressure regulator
• Fuel return lines

FUEL FLOW

Figure 2 Fuel System Diagram

The fuel supply pump draws fuel from the fuel tanks to the fuel strainer. Fuel flows through the strainer to
the supply pump. The supply pump increases fuel pressure to approximately 65 psi (448 kPa). Pressurized
fuel is pumped through the fuel filter to the fuel supply manifold for distribution through passages in the
head to the fuel injectors.

The fuel rail pressure is controlled to 65 psi (448 kPa) by a Fuel Pressure Regulator mounted to the rear of the
fuel manifold. After the pressure regulator, excess fuel is returned to the tanks.

In the injectors the fuel pressure is increased to injection pressures of approximately 18,000 psi (124 MPa).

EGES-215
8 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

INJECTION CONTROL PRESSURE SYSTEM


INJECTION CONTROL PRESSURE SYSTEM OPERATION
The Injection Control Pressure system provides the necessary energy to hydraulically actuate the HEUI
injectors. Engine lube oil is the hydraulic fluid used for this purpose.

Lube oil is drawn from the oil pan through the pickup tube by the engine oil lubrication pump. The lubrication
pump is a gerotor type pump driven by the crankshaft. Filtered oil is fed through passages in the front cover to
the oil reservoir which is an integral part of the front cover.

The reservoir makes available a constant supply of oil to a high pressure hydraulic pump mounted to the
front cover. The high pressure pump is a gear driven swash plate type pump. High pressure oil is delivered
by the high pressure pump to the high pressure oil supply manifold and into oil passages machined into
the cylinder head.

When the solenoid of an injector is energized high pressure lube oil is utilized to pressurize and atomize the
fuel into the combustion chamber. After injection is complete the solenoid is deactivated and the oil within the
injector is vented through the top portion of the injector and allowed to drain back to the oil pan.

Injection control pressure is, governed by the Electronic Control Module, (ECM) depending upon operating
conditions and the driver’s demand for power. The Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) is used by the ECM for
this purpose. The IPR valve is mounted on the high pressure pump and achieves injection control pressure
regulation by dumping excess oil into the front cover and back to the oil pan.

The injection control pressure sensor (ICP) provides feedback pressure information to the ECM in the form of
an analog voltage signal. Injection control pressure ranges from 500 to 3500 psi (3.4 to 25 MPa), depending on
the engine family.

INJECTION PRESSURE CONTROL


The ECM controls the injection control pressure by operating the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR). Injection
control pressure is continuously monitored by the ECM using the Injection Control Pressure sensor (ICP) (See
Figure 4, page 10). The pressure signal from the ICP allows the ECM to know the actual injection control
pressure. This is known as Closed Loop Operation (See Figure 5, page 10).

Diagnostic codes can be set by the ECM if the ICP electrical signal is out of range, or if the ICP signal received
corresponds to an out of range value for the injection control pressure at a given operating condition. Should
any of these conditions occur, the ECM will ignore the ICP signal and control the IPR valve operation from
programmed default values. This is known as Open Loop Operation.

10 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Figure 4 Injection Control System

Figure 5 Closed Loop Operation

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 11

IPR VALVE OPERATION


The Injection Control Pressure Regulator valve is a pulse width (duty cycle %) controlled valve. The pulse
width is modulated between 8 and 60% to control ICP pressure in the range of 3.4 to 20 MPa (500 to 3000 psi).
The regulator is mounted in the high pressure oil pump and maintains desired injection control pressure by
dumping excess oil through an (internal shuttle) spool valve to the front cover and back to the oil pan.

As the demand for injection control pressure increases, the ECM increases the pulse width (duty cycle %) to
the IPR valve. This forces the poppet against the drain orifice increasing the pressure behind the spool valve.

As oil pressure increases behind the spool valve, it moves forward and blocks the drain ports on the sides
of the IPR valve. Refer to IPR Higher Injection Pressure (See Figure 6, page 11). When the demand for
injection control pressure decreases, the ECM decreases the (duty cycle %) to the IPR valve allowing oil to
drain out of the drain orifice. This is accomplished by relieving the pressure behind the spool valve which
allows it to partially open the relief port decreasing injection control pressure. Refer to IPR Lower Injection
Pressure (See Figure 7, page 12).

The described operation allows the IPR to continuously adjust injection control pressure as commanded
by the ECM.

HEUI INJECTOR OPERATION


STANDARD INJECTOR OPERATION

Figure 8 HEUI Injector Stages of Operation

The injection operation is divided into three stages or cycles:

1. Fill Stage
2. Injection Stage
3. End of Injection

Fill Stage

During the fill stage, the solenoid is deactivated and the poppet valve is closed preventing the flow of high
pressure oil to the intensifier piston. At this point the intensifier piston is up allowing the fuel to enter and
fill the injector nozzle.

Injection Stage

Once the ECM commands injection, the solenoid is energized and the injection stage is initiated. This action
rapidly lifts the poppet valve from its seat, allowing high pressure oil to enter the injector. The intensifier
piston transmits the pressure from the high pressure oil to the fuel and multiplies it 6 to 7 times creating fuel
injection pressures of up to 21,000 psi.

As the fuel pressure increases, check valves prevent the fuel from flowing back to the supply manifold. Once
the pressure is high enough to lift the needle valve fuel is forced into the combustion chamber.

End of Injection

Once injection is completed, the ECM deactivates the solenoid, the poppet valve and the intensifier piston
return to the closed position and the injector returns to the fill stage (See Figure 8, page 13).

14 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

SPLIT-SHOT INJECTORS

Figure 9 HEUI Split Shot-Injector Operation

Some International electronic engines are equipped with Split-Shot injectors. On these injectors the injection
cycle is executed in two stages (See Figure 9, page 14). Some fuel is pre-injected into the combustion
chamber to initiate combustion then the primary injection takes place. This feature reduces emission levels at
light load operations. It also reduces light load engine noise.

Both the electrical and the hydraulic portions of the Split-Shot injector operate identically to the regular HEUI
injector, but the fuel distribution is different.

The barrel and plunger were redesigned and a spill port was incorporated. When injection is initiated, the first
shot of fuel is pre-injected into the combustion chamber until the spill port of the plunger coincides with the
slot on the barrel.

At this time some fuel is allowed to return back to the fuel supply port until the spill port slot is blocked again by
the plunger and the primary injection stroke takes place.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE


OPERATION AND FUNCTION
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors and controls engine performance to ensure maximum
performance and adherence to emissions standards. The ECM also monitors and regulates the vehicle
cruise control, transmission, and starter engagement.

Figure 10 Electronic Control Module

The ECM controls the following:

1. Reference voltage
2. Input voltage signals
3. Microprocessor input and output
4. Actuators

EGES-215
16 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The ECM sends a 5 volt reference signal to sensors in the control system. The ECM determines pressure,
speed, position, and other variables important to engine and vehicle functions by comparing the regulated 5
volts sent to the sensors with signals from the sensors sent back to the ECM.

The ECM sends a voltage reference signal to three separate circuits.

• VREFB for the cab sensors


• VREFC for the body builder sensors
• VREFD for the engine sensors

Individual VREF circuits divides the electronic system to prevent a total VREF circuit failure. A current limiting
resistor protects the ECM microprocessor from an external short to ground of a VREF circuit.

Figure 11 Reference Voltage

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 17

INPUT VOLTAGE SIGNALS


An input conditioner in the ECM:

• Converts analog signals to digital signals,


• Squares up sine wave signals, or amplifies low intensity signals

Figure 12 Input Voltage Signals

MICROPROCESSOR INPUT AND OUTPUT


The ECM internal microprocessor stores operating instructions (control strategies) and value tables (calibration
parameters). The ECM compares stored instructions with input values to determine the correct operating
strategy for all engine conditions.

Diagnostic codes are generated by the microprocessor if inputs or conditions do not comply with expected
values. Continuous calculations in the ECM occur at two different levels or speeds: Foreground and
Background.

Foreground calculations are much faster than background calculations and are normally more critical for
engine operation. Engine speed control is an example.

Background calculations are normally variables that change at a slower rates. Engine temperature is an
example.

Diagnostic strategies are also programmed into the ECM. Some strategies monitor inputs continuously and
command the necessary outputs to achieve the correct performance of the engine. These strategies instruct
the ECM to continuously perform other diagnostic tests.

Microprocessor Memory

The ECM microprocessor includes Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM). Refer to
Electronic Control Module Microprocessor Memory (See Figure 13, page 18).

ROM

Read Only Memory stores permanent information for calibration tables and operating strategies. Permanently
stored Information cannot be changed or lost by turning the engine OFF or when ECM power is interrupted.
ROM information includes the following:

• Vehicle configuration, modes of operation, and options


• Engine Family Ratings Code (EFRC)
• Engine warning and protection modes

RAM

Random Access Memory stores temporary information for current conditions. Temporary information in RAM is
lost when the key is turned OFF or when ECM power is interrupted. RAM information includes the following:

• Engine temperature
• Engine rpm
• Accelerator pedal position

ACTUATORS
The ECM controls actuators for the following:

• Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR)


• Fuel Injectors

The ECM sends a low level signal to an output driver. When the output driver is switched on the ground circuit
is completed. Actuators can be controlled with a duty cycle (% time on/off), a controlled pulse width, or
switched on or off.

Figure 14 Output Drivers

Electronic Distribution for Fuel Injectors

The ECM monitors engine speed and cylinder positions by constantly monitoring the camshaft position signal.
When the narrow vane of the timing sensor disc passes in front of the Camshaft Position sensor, the position of
piston 1 is sent to the ECM; the positions of pistons 2 through 6 are based on the position of piston 1.

Ground Source for Fuel Injectors

The ECM provides a constant ground path to all fuel injectors.

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 21

Figure 16 Ground Source for Fuel Injectors

Power Source and Output Drivers for Fuel Injectors

By using output driver transistors, the ECM supplies 115+ volts DC to each injector following the firing order
(153624). The ECM contains an output driver for each fuel injector. The ECM processor controls:

• Firing sequence
• Injector timing
• Injection duration

The 115+ volt DC supply is created by the ECM by making and breaking a 12 volt source across an internal
coil, based on the same principle as the automotive ignition coil.

ENGINE AND VEHICLE SENSORS


Sensor Operation
Engine and vehicle sensors send input signals to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) by:

• Changing reference voltage to produce an analog or digital signal


• Generating analog or digital signal voltage
• Switching an analog 12 volt signal

Input Signals

Reference voltage sensors receive a constant 5V signal from the ECM. A voltage regulator supplies the
reference voltage (VREF) to the sensors. VREF is changed by the sensor and the resultant signal is relayed back
to the ECM. The ECM compares the reference voltage to the returned signal, and determines the difference by
matching the signal value with programmed tables in the ECM.

Figure 18 Input Signals

EGES-215
24 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Sensors Types
The following sensor types are used with DT 466 and DT 530 engines:

• Thermistor sensor
• Potentiometer sensor
• Variable capacitance sensor
• Hall effect sensor
• Magnetic pick up sensor
• Switch sensor

THERMISTOR
A thermistor sensor is a semiconductor, a resistive circuit component that changes electrical resistance
with temperature.

Thermistor Examples:

• Engine Oil Temperature sensor (EOT)


• Engine Coolant Temperature sensor (ECT)
• Intake Air Temperature sensor (IAT)

Resistance decreases as temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The thermistor,
with a current limiting resistor in the ECM forms a voltage divider network. The thermistor and limiting resistor
provide a voltage signal to be matched with a particular temperature value.

The top half of the voltage divider is the current limiting resistor. A thermistor sensor has two electrical
connections: signal return and ground. The output of a thermistor sensor is a nonlinear analog signal.

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 25

EGES-215
26 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

POTENTIOMETER
A potentiometer is a variable voltage divider used to sense the position of a mechanical component.

Example:

• Accelerator Position Sensor (APS)

A reference voltage is applied to one end of the potentiometer. A mechanical wiper moves along resistive
material, changing voltage at each point along the resistive material. The voltage change is proportional to
the distance the wiper moves.

Figure 20 Potentiometer

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 27

VARIABLE CAPACITANCE SENSOR


A variable capacitance sensor measures pressure. Pressure forces a ceramic material closer to a thin metal
disc, changing the capacitance of the sensor. The operational range of the sensor is linked to the thickness of
the ceramic disk. The thicker the ceramic disk the more pressure the sensor can measure.

Examples:

• Engine Oil Pressure sensor (EOP)


• Injection Control Pressure sensor (ICP)
• Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP)

Variable Capacitance sensors are connected to the ECM by three wires: reference voltage, signal return
and signal ground.

A variable capacitance sensor receives reference voltage from the ECM and returns an analog signal voltage
back to the ECM. The ECM compares the signal voltage with programmed values to determine the pressure.

Figure 21 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor

EGES-215
28 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

HALL EFFECT SENSOR


The Hall Effect sensor generates voltage signals.

Example:

• Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP)

A CMP sensor contains a permanent magnet, transducer, signal conditioner, and a switching transistor.
The shape and frequency of voltage signals result from disturbances in the magnetic field of the sensor.
The permanent magnet generates a magnetic field around the transducer. As the timing disk (vanes and
windows) rotates, the magnetic field is disturbed and the transducer generates a signal that is filtered and
conditioned within the CMP.

Once conditioned, the signal is sent to the base of the switching transistor, causing the transistor to ground the
5 volt line from the ECM. At this time, the ECM will receive a 0 volt signal.

Each time a vane passes the sensor the signal is grounded by the transducer. Without a signal the transistor
shuts off and the ECM receives a 5 volt signal. This allows the ECM to determine engine speed and position.
The shorter duration of the narrow vane on the trigger wheel allows the ECM to determine the position of the
crankshaft.

The CMP sensor is connected to the ECM by three wires: a 5 volt signal, a 5 volt VREF, and a signal ground.

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 29

Figure 22 Camshaft Position Sensor

EGES-215
30 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

MAGNETIC PICKUP
A magnetic pickup sensor generates an alternating frequency that indicates speed. Magnetic pickup sensors
normally have two wire connections for signal and ground. The magnetic pickup sensor has a permanent
magnetic core surrounded by a wire coil. The signal is generated by the rotation of gear teeth which disturbs
the magnetic field of the magnet. Refer to Vehicle Speed Sensor (Magnetic Pickup) (See Figure 23, page 30).

Example:

• Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

4. Permanent Magnet Field
5. Output Signal

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 31

SWITCH SENSORS
Switch sensors indicate positions and operate either open or closed to allow or prevent current flow. A switch
sensor can be a voltage input switch or a grounding switch.

Examples:

• Idle Validation Switch (IVS)


• Brake Switch Normally Open (BNO)
• Coolant Level Switch (CLS)
• Driveline Disengagement Switch (DDS)

Switch sensors are connected to the ECM by one wire: either a voltage source or a ground. These sensors are
considered to be a low speed digital input.

When closed, a voltage input switch sends the ECM voltage. A grounding switch will ground the circuit,
causing a zero voltage signal at the ECM. Grounding switches, with a current limiting resistor, are usually
installed in series.

VEHICLE FEATURES
STANDARD FEATURES
Electronic Governor Control

INTERNATIONAL DT 466 and DT 530 engines are electronically controlled for all operating ranges.

American Trucking Association Datalink Provisions

Vehicles are equipped with the American Trucking Association (ATA) datalink connector for communication
between the ECM and the Electronic Service Tool (EST).

The datalink provides communication capabilities for the following:

• Transmission of engine parameter data


• Diagnostics and troubleshooting
• Customer programming
• Production line programming of vehicle features
• Field programming

Service Diagnostics

The electronic service tool provides diagnostic information for the Master Diagnostics (MD) Software.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s)


DTC’s for sensors, actuators, electronic components, and engine systems are detected and stored in the
ECM. The ECM transmits DTC’s to the EST to assist with diagnostic action. The ECM also provides DTC’s
emitted by the engine.

Electronic Speedometer and Tachometer Provisions

The engine control system calibrates vehicle speed to 157,157 pulses/mile. Dip switches no longer need to
be changed when components affecting speed calibration are changed. However, the new speed calibration
information must be programmed with an Electronic Service Tool.

The tachometer signal is generated by the ECM by computing the CMP signal. The result of this calculation is
transmitted to the instrument dash cluster via the J1939 Datalink and the EST via the ATA Datalink.

Engine Over Temperature Protection System (Coolant Temperature Compensation)

Coolant Temperature Compensation reduces fuel delivery if engine coolant temperature is above the cooling
system specifications. Fueling is reduced proportionally to the design limit exceeded. Fuel reduction is
calibrated to a maximum of 40% before standard engine warning or optional warning/shutdown is engaged. If
warning or shutdown occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code is stored in the ECM memory.

NOTE – Coolant Temperature Compensation may be omitted on emergency vehicles that require 100%
power on demand.

EGES-215
34 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Event Logging System

The event logging system records engine operation above maximum rpm (overspeed), high coolant
temperature, low coolant level, or low oil pressure. This information and readings for the odometer / hourmeter
are stored in the ECM memory and may be accessed using the EST.

Engine Crank Inhibit

Engine Crank Inhibit will not allow the starting motor to crank if the engine is running or the automatic
transmission is in gear. Engine Crank Inhibit (ECI) is an optional system for vehicles with manual transmissions.

Electronic Accelerator Pedal

The Electronic Accelerator Pedal eliminates the mechanical linkage used with conventional accelerator pedals.
An accelerator position sensor, part of the accelerator pedal assembly, provides the ECM with an analog
voltage signal representing the driver’s demand for power.

Figure 25 Electronic Accelerator Pedal System

Cruise Control

Cruise Control regulates vehicle speed using automotive style, on/off, set/accel buttons. Speed control is
disabled when the service brakes are applied, the clutch pedal is depressed, or the automatic transmission is
placed in neutral. The accelerator pedal can be used to increase speed from the selected cruise speed.

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 35

Figure 26 Cruise Control Buttons on the Steering Wheel

Cold Ambient Protection (CAP)

The CAP system safeguards the engine from damage caused by prolonged periods of idle at no load during
cold weather conditions. CAP also improves cab warm up.

CAP maintains engine coolant temperature by increasing the engine rpm to a programmed value when the
Ambient Air Temperature is below 32 F (0 C), the Engine Coolant Temperature is below 149 F (65 C), and the
engine has been idling with no load for more than 5 minutes.

CAP is standard on all trucks without an Idle Shutdown Timer, with a clutch switch (manual transmission),
or a neutral safety switch (automatic transmission).

OPTIONAL FEATURES
Engine Speed Control for PTO

DT 466 and DT 530 engines are compatible with both stationary and mobile PTO applications. Remote and
in-cab throttle controls are available. Throttle control can be used as an electronic hand throttle during warm
up procedures or idle operation during cold weather.

EGES-215

Road Speed Limiting/Governor

The Road Speed Limiting/Governor limits speed to maximum vehicle speed programmed by the customer.

Body Equipment Manufacturer Provisions

Additional circuits and connector junction blocks are provided in the engine compartment on the left side
of the cowl. These circuits include provisions for:

• Remote engine speed control


• Remote PTO (engine speed) control commands
• Additional power and control circuits for after market added equipment

The standard electrical system provides breakout connections to the remote PTO.

Engine Warning System

The Engine Warning System illuminates the red ENGINE lamp and actuates a buzzer for:

• High coolant temperature


• Low coolant level
• Low oil pressure

Refer to Engine Warning System (See Figure 28, page 37).

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 37

Engine Shutdown System

The engine warning system is included with the engine shutdown system. The engine shutdown system
shuts down the engine after 30 seconds of operation past critical threshold values for coolant temperature
or oil pressure, or both.

Figure 28 Engine Warning System

EGES-215
38 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Figure 29 Engine Protection System

Idle Shutdown (Optional)

Idle Shutdown provides automatic engine shutdown after idle time exceeds 2 to 120 minutes. The owner or
operator can program extended idle time for maximum or minimum intake air temperatures. If Idle shutdown is
triggered, the ECM will flash the red ENGINE lamp, sound the buzzer 30 seconds, and set a DTC code before
engine shutdown. When Idle Shutdown is selected, Cold Ambient Protection is automatically disabled.
Electronic Pressure Governor (EPG)

The Electronic Pressure Governor can be used on trucks equipped with hydraulic pumps when output pressure
is controlled by adjusting engine rpm (i.e. fire trucks, etc.). Body builder connections are provided and the
ECM can be programmed for this purpose on request. This feature can be programmed to fit the needs
of the operator. Engine rpm, ramp rate, and Electronic Pressure Governor gain adjustments are among
the available variables.
Engine Fan (Control)

Engine Fan control allows the ECM to regulate engagement and disengagement of the engine fan depending
on Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) or air conditioning demand. The ECM can also be programmed
to use engine fan control to retard engine speed.

Diagnostics Overview

Figure 30 Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection

EGES-215
40 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Diagnostic Trouble Code Access Procedure


To display ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes using the EST refer to Diagnostic Testing in Section 5 (See CHECK
AND CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC), page 404).

To display ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes when the EST is not available use the following procedure:

A. Set the parking brake and turn the Ignition Key ON.
B. Press and release the CRUISE ON button and the RESUME/ACCEL button simultaneously. If no
faults are present, the cluster odometer will display NO FAULTS. If codes are present they will be
flashed out using the red and amber ENGINE lamps on the gauge cluster.

To read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes, count each time the amber ENGINE lamp flashes, continue with
the following sequence below. This sequence occurs each time the Cruise Control buttons are depressed
together to access the Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

A. The red ENGINE lamp will flash once to indicate the beginning of ACTIVE DTC’s.
B. The amber ENGINE lamp will flash repeatedly signaling the Active DTC’s.

NOTE – All DTC’s are three digits. Code 111 indicates no Diagnostic Trouble Codes have
been detected.
C. Count the flashes in sequence. After each digit of the code a short pause will occur. Three flashes
and a pause would indicate number 3. Two flashes, a pause, three flashes, a pause, and two
flashes and a pause would indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code 232. If there is more than one DTC,
the red ENGINE lamp will flash once indicating the beginning of another active DTC.

After all active DTC’s have flashed, the red ENGINE lamp will flash twice to indicate the start of INACTIVE
DTC’s. Count the flashes from the amber ENGINE lamp. If there is more than one inactive code, the red
ENGINE lamp will flash once between each DTC.

After all DTC’s have been sent, the red ENGINE lamp will flash three times indicating END OF MESSAGE.

NOTE – To repeat DTC transmission, repeat the above procedure by depressing both Cruise Control
buttons. The ECM will once again send the stored DTC’s.

Clearing Inactive Diagnostic Trouble Codes


A. Set park brake (required for correct ESC signal and to clear codes).
B. Turn key switch to the IGN/ON position.
C. Depress and hold the CRUISE ON and RESUME/ACCEL buttons simultaneously.
D. Continue holding the Cruise Control buttons. Depress and release the accelerator pedal three (3)
times within a six (6) second interval.
E. Release the Cruise Control buttons.
F. Inactive codes will be cleared.

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 41

CONTINUOUS MONITOR
DiagnosticTrouble Codes

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) continuously monitors and detects Out of Range, Rationality, and
System Faults.

Each Diagnostic Trouble Code has three numbers that identify the source of a malfunction measured or
monitored electronically. Most Diagnostic Trouble Codes indicate the source and the Failure Mode. The Failure
Mode identifies one of the following signal readings:

• Out of Range High (voltage over normal operating range)

• Out of Range Low (voltage under normal operating range)

• In Range (within normal operating range but not rational)

When the ignition key is ON, the ECM will record and set a Diagnostic Trouble Code if an input signal is Out of
Range High or Out of Range Low during normal operation. The ECM also monitors the operation of systems
and determines if systems are In Range. If a system falls outside a predetermined range, the ECM will
record and set a Diagnostic Trouble Code.

During normal engine operation, the ECM automatically performs several tests to detect Diagnostic Trouble
Codes. When Diagnostic Trouble Codes are detected, the ECM often executes a DTC management strategy to
allow continued, though sometimes degraded, vehicle operation.

The ECM also continuously sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes associated with the injection control system, an
improvement from previous versions that required specific diagnostic tests to access fault codes.

Event Log
With the engine running, Engine Events are permanently recorded in the ECM; Engine Events can be retrieved
with the Electronic Service Tool (EST). Standard Engine Events include excessive coolant temperature and
engine rpm (overspeed). With the engine running, Event Engine Hours are monitored and recorded in the
ECM. Event Engine Hours include data resulting from overheating (coolant temperature), low coolant level,
low oil pressure, and operation beyond maximum rpm. This information and odometer / hourmeter readings
are stored in the ECM memory.

EGES-215
42 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
Key-On Engine-Off Standard Test

During the Key-On Engine-Off Standard Test the ECM completes the following:

1. Internal processing and memory test.


2. Output Circuit Check (OCC). The Output Circuit Check looks for circuit shorts, open circuits in the
ECM, harnesses, and IPR actuator by operating the ECM output circuits and measuring each
circuit response. The OCC does not evaluate mechanical or hydraulic functions.
3. Logs Diagnostic Trouble Codes in memory if a circuit fails a test.

The following circuits are checked by the ECM during this test:

• Engine Crank Inhibit relay (ECI)


• Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR)
• Engine Fan (EFN)
• Vehicle Retarder (VRE)

When the test is complete, the EST will display all detected Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

NOTE – When the Electronic Service Tool (EST) is not available, the Key-On Engine-Off Standard Test
and the Output Circuit Check can be performed by following the steps below.

Key-ON Engine-OFF Standard Test and Output Circuit Check (OCC) Procedure

A. Set park brake (required for correct ESC signal).


B. Turn ignition key to the ON position.
C. Press and release the CRUISE ON and the RESUME/ACCEL buttons simultaneously two (2)
times within three (3) seconds.
D. Key-ON Engine-OFF Standard Test and OCC will run and codes will flash.

Key-On Engine-Off Injector Test

The Key-On Engine-Off Injector Test checks for electrical problems in fuel delivery components (injectors).
This test can only be done after completing the Engine Off Standard Test using the Electronic Service Tool.

During the Key-On Engine-Off Injector Test, the ECM will actuate the injectors 1 through 6 in numerical order,
not the firing order. Each electrical circuit and solenoid for the injectors will be monitored and evaluated for
correct operation. If an electronic component does not meet specifications, an active Diagnostic Trouble
Code will be logged. However, during Hard Start/No Start conditions, the sound of injectors may not be
heard because of cold, thick oil.
Key-On Engine-Off Output State Low Test

The purpose of the Output StateTest is to allow the techician to check the operation of the ECM controlled
actuators. During this test, actuators are controlled by the ECM. The ECM will pull down or pull up the output
voltage in order to activate or deactivate the acuator. The low state will activate those components that
are normally controlled by the ECM completing the ground circuit. While this test is running the technician
can check the state of these actuators.

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 43

During this test the output of the circuit in question can be monitored with a Digital Multimeter (DMM). The DMM
measures high or low voltages when outputs are toggled. The actual voltage will vary within the circuit tested.
The EST will not display voltage or problems with circuits. A breakout tee or breakout box and digital multimeter
are required to monitor circuits or actuator. Diagnostic Trouble Codes will not be set by the ECM during this test.

Key-On Engine-Off Output State High will test those components that are normally controlled by the ECM
sending voltage to the actuator. While this test is running the technician can check the state of these actuators.
The ECM will not check the state of the actuator nor will it log codes in this test.

During this test the output of the circuit in question can be monitored with a Digital Multimeter (DMM). The DMM
measures high or low voltages when outputs are toggled. The actual voltage will vary within the circuit tested.
The EST will not display voltage or problems with circuits. A breakout tee or breakout box and digital multimeter
are required to monitor circuits or actuator. Diagnostic Trouble Codes will not be set by the ECM during this test.

The following actuators and signals are toggled during the Key-On Engine-Off Output State Test:

• Starter Power Relay (ECI)


• Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR)
• Engine Fan (EFN)
• Vehicle Retarder Relay (VRE)

Key-On Engine-Off Continuous Monitor Test

The Key-On Engine-OFF Continuous Monitor Test troubleshoots intermittent connections at sensors and
actuators.

The Electronic Service Tool is used to monitor the following circuits:

• Accelerator Position Sensor (APS)


• Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT)
• Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP)
• Data Communication Link (DCL)
• Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
• Engine Oil Pressure (EOP)
• Injection Control Pressure (ICP)
• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
• Remote Accelerator Pedal Sensor (RPS)
• Engine Oil Temperature (EOT)
• Barometric Absolute Pressure Sensor (BAP)

TEST PROCEDURE

During this test, wiggle all suspected circuit connectors and wires. This movement allow the ECM to identify
any momentary circuit continuity interruptions. The computer speaker will “BEEP” if an interruption in continuity
is found and a related Diagnostic Trouble Code will be displayed on the Diagnostic screen. If at all possible,
view the screen while doing this, as hearing the BEEP will likely be difficult in a busy shop environment.

EGES-215
44 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Selecting this test also enables the ECM and Master Diagnostics to display the following sensor signal voltages
in a International Text View window.

• APS Signal Volts


• BAP Signal Volts
• EBP Signal Volts
• ECM Signal Volts
• ECT Signal Volts
• EOP Signal Volts
• EOT Signal Volts
• EPG Signal Volts
• IAT Signal Volts
• ICP Signal Volts
• MAP Signal Volts
• RPS Signal Volts

Key-On Engine-Running Standard Test

The ECM evaluates the hydraulic performance of the Injection Control Pressure System. The ECM monitors the
Injection Control Pressure (ICP) sensor signal values and compares those values with expected values. After
the test, the ECM returns engine to normal operation and sends Diagnostic Trouble Codes set during the test.

Test Procedure

1. The ECM increases engine idle speed to a set value.

2. The ECM signals the IPR valve to set the injection control pressure to rated speed pressure. If IPR
performance is acceptable, the ECM will command the IPR valve to reduce the pressure in steps, while
continuing to monitor the performance of the injection control pressure system.

NOTE – To perform these KOER tests, the following conditions are required:

• Engine coolant temperature must be at least 160 F.


• Battery voltage must be higher than 12.5 volts.
• Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal should not be present.
• If active Diagnostic Codes are present, the cause must be repaired and the Diagnostic Trouble
Codes cleared before running this test.

Key-On Engine-Running Injector Test

NOTE – The Engine Running Standard Test must be done before starting the Engine Running Injector
Test.

The “Injector Test” is designed to detect problems with injection and combustion events. Performing a cylinder
contribution test will analyze the individual contribution of each of the power cylinders. Its primary function
is to detect a bad injector, but it will detect problems that could affect the overall performance of the power
cylinders (i.e.: valves, pushrods, pistons, rings, etc.)

EGES-215
1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 45

During this test the ECM will control fuel delivery and determine each cylinder’s power contribution. If a cylinder
is not performing satisfactorily, a fault code will be set in severe cases, but there still is the possibly of (a
misfire?) that will not set a code. Under these circumstances you’ll need the aid of the EST and MD software.

When this test begins the engine speeds in increments to 850 rpm. The ECM will increase the normal amount
of fuel delivery (overfuel) to the injector of the cylinder being tested. The ECM monitors the reduction of fuel
required to operate the remaining injectors to maintain a constant speed. Then the ECM limits the fuel delivery
(underfuel) to the same injector and monitors the increase in fuel delivery to the remaining injectors. The ECM
compares the fuel delivery during overfuel to fuel delivery change (underfuel). If the difference or change is
not the ECM expects, it will set a code for the non-contributing cylinder. This test is performed in numerical
order, beginning with cylinder 1. Once cylinder number 6 is finished, the test is complete. Only severe case
will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code. On engines with more than one severely scuffed injector, rpm fluctuation
can be enough to stop the cylinder contribution test.

The KOER Injector Test detects injection and combustion problems, including problems that could affect the
overall performance of the power cylinder (i.e. valves, push rods, pistons, rings, etc).

EGES-215
46 1 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Key-On Engine-Running Continuous Monitor Test

The KOER Continuous Monitor Test troubleshoots intermittent connections at sensors and actuators.

The Electronic Service Tool is used to monitor the following circuits:

• Accelerator Position Sensor (APS)

1. Select the KOER Continuous Monitor Test from the Diagnostic drop-down menu.

2. Wiggle all suspected circuit connectors and wires. This movement is very helpful to Master Diagnostics in
identifying any momentary circuit continuity interruptions. The EST can detect Diagnostic Trouble Codes
much more rapidly if this method is used. The computer speaker will “BEEP” if an interruption in continuity
is found and a related DTC will be displayed in the Diagnostic screen. If at all possible, view the screen
while doing this, as hearing the BEEP will likely be difficult in a busy shop environment.

DIAGNOSTIC FORMS
INTRODUCTION,
Two Types of Forms

The purpose of engine diagnostic forms is to provide the customer with satisfaction as well as assist the
technician in troubleshooting DT 466 and DT 530 diesel engines. Diagnostic forms provide a guide to finding
problems quickly and easily and to avoid unnecessary repairs and expense. Diagnostic forms should be taken
to the job and used to provide a systematic and time saving method of diagnosing engine problems.

Engine diagnostic forms begin with the basics progressing to the tests that are more difficult. This leads the
technician in a path of diagnosis to check the more common problems first and proceed to the less likely. The
form should be followed in sequence, starting at test number one (1) and continuing through to the final
test. The order of the tests should be followed because some components depend on the function of other
components for proper operation. Performing the tests out of order could cause an incorrect conclusion.

Two diagnostic forms are required to properly diagnose the DT 466 and DT 530 diesel engines.

1. Hard Start / No Start and Performance Engine Diagnostics, EGED-220.

A. The left front side of form EGED-220 (See Figure 31, page 53) is used to diagnose hard start
or no start conditions. Hard Start/No Start and Performance Engine Diagnostics, guides the
technician through Hard Start or No Start conditions in which the engine does not start or is
difficult to start. The Procedures must be done in sequence; performing the tests out of order
could cause incorrect results. See Section 2, Hard Start / No Start and Performance Engine
Diagnostics for detailed instructions.
B. The right front side of form EGED-220 (See Figure 31, page 53) is used to diagnose engine
performance concerns while the engine is running. The Performance Engine Diagnostics portion
guides the technician through conditions in which the engine is running with some type of
performance problem. An example would be a low power complaint. The tests must be done in
sequence; Performing the tests out of order could cause incorrect results. See figures on the
rear side of the form for part location, test and hookup points. See Section 2, Performance
Engine Diagnostics for detailed instructions.
C. The reverse side of the form is a series of illustrations. They show the location of test points and
how to hook up test equipment at each test point described on the front side of the form (when
applicable) (See Figure 32, page 54).

2. Electronic Control System Diagnostics, EGED-225

A. The front side of this form EGED-225 contains two tables and an engine electrical diagram. They
cover Signal Values associated with each of the ECM pin connections for the engine, and chassis
components of the vehicle. The electrical diagram covers the engine mounted components, ECM
pin connections and related wire numbering (See Figure 67, page 154).
B. The rear side of the form contains an electrical diagram covering all the electronic chassis mounted
components, ECM pin connections and related wire numbering (See Figure 68, page 155).

NOTE – Information relating to this form is discussed and located in Section 3.

Vehicle Information

IMPORTANT – BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PERFORM ANY OF THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, IT IS


IMPORTANT TO FILL IN THE INFORMATION REQUESTED AT THE TOP OF THE DIAGNOSTIC FORM(S).
PROPER INFORMATION IS REQUIRED.

The DATE, MILES and HOURS are important information for warranty purposes.

The ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER AND VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) are important information
for ordering parts and referencing service information. The ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER is located on a
machined pad next to the rear of fuel filter on left side of engine block. The VIN is located on the driver’s side
door jamb.

The ENGINE HORSEPOWER / EMISSIONS INFORMATION and ENGINE FAMILY RATING CODE (EFRC) is
important information to determine if the engine is the correct horsepower for the application and if the ECM
is calibrated to the correct horsepower and emissions level. The ENGINE HORSEPOWER/EMISSIONS
INFORMATION is located on the emission label located on the intake manifold/valve cover. The ENGINE
FAMILY RATING CODE can only be accessed with the EST (Electronic Service Tool).

The TECHNICIAN and UNIT number is useful information for reference only (See Table 1, page 52).

FUEL CHECK
Table 3
1. Fuel Check
• Fuel level
• Free of water-icing and clouding
• Correct grade of fuel

Purpose

To determine if the engine has clean fuel for efficient engine operation.
Test Procedure

1. Take fuel sample from fuel tank.

NOTE – Fuel must be the correct grade, clean, and undiluted.

WARNING – To avoid personal injury, be certain that the transmission is in neutral, parking
brake is applied, and drive wheels are blocked prior to cranking engine.

2. Check for air in fuel. If air is suspected, check for air leaks in the supply line to the fuel transfer pump.
Install a piece of clear plastic hose between the filter and the transfer pump inlet. Crank the engine and
check for air bubbles.

NOTE – Cold weather can cause fuel waxing in some grades of diesel fuel. Waxing will restrict or
stop fuel flow through the fuel filter.

3. Check for gasoline or kerosene in the diesel fuel.

4. If engine oil is in the fuel, injector O-ring leaks and lower injection control pressure are likely. If these
conditions are suspected, do the following:
a. Drain some fuel from the fuel filter and check fuel color. If fuel sample is dark, compare the sample to
the correct grade of uncontaminated fuel.
b. If the comparison is inconclusive, remove the fuel filter. Use a filter cutter to cut and expose the filter
element. If the element is black, oil may have entered fuel system past injector O-rings.

NOTE – If fuel quality is good, but the engine will not start, depress priming valve plunger. If the plunger
has no resistance, the fuel system is out of fuel or has air in it. Do Test 14 (See Table 16, page 89) to
check fuel pressure.

EGES-215
56 2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530

Possible Causes

• No fuel in tank.
• The in-line fuel valve (if equipped) could be shut off.
• Fuel supply line could be broken or crimped.
• The tank pickup tube could be clogged or cracked.
• Supplemental filters or water separators may be plugged or leaking allowing air to enter the fuel system.
• Water or contaminants in fuel tank.
• Ice in fuel lines.
• Fuel grade may not be suitable for cold temperatures.
• Fuel could be waxed or jelled (usually Grade 2-D).

Tools Required

• Clear container (approximately 1 Quart or 1 Liter)

EGES-215

ENGINE VISUAL CHECK


Table 4

2. Engine Systems Check

• Leaks
• Loose connections
Fuel Oil Coolant Electrical Air

Purpose

Visual inspection of the engine for possible hard or no start conditions.

Test Procedure

1. Inspect fuel tank and lines for damage and leaks.

2. Check oil line from high pressure pump to oil supply manifold for oil leaks.

3. Inspect entire cooling system for leaks.

4. Check air induction system for leaks. Refer to Air Induction System Inspection and Pressure Test .

5. Inspect engine wiring harness for correct routing and protection against rubbing or chaffing. Inspect
for connected CMP and IPR.

NOTE – Engine will not start with IPR or CMP disconnected

6. Check sensor, relay, and control module connections.

7. All connections must be seated, in good condition, and free from damage or corrosion.

WARNING – To avoid personal injury, do not under any circumstances allow smoking, an
electric spark or open flame near the battery or explosion may occur.

8. Inspect battery cable and fuse battery connections for corrosion.

NOTE – ECM harness connections must be torqued to 50 in·lb (5.65 N·m).

Possible Causes for Hard or No Start Conditions.

• Loose or leaking fuel supply lines could cause fuel system to lose prime.
• Kinked or blocked fuel supply lines will restrict fuel flow.
• Excessive fuel or oil leaks.
• Engine coolant leaks may indicate serious engine problems.

EGES-215
58 2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530

• Damaged or incorrectly installed electronic connectors.

NOTE – The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) and Injection Pressure Regulator valve (IPR) are the most
critical electronic components to inspect if the engine fails to start.

Air Induction System Inspection

1. Inspect air cleaner housing for damage or distortion that could allow unfiltered air into the engine.

NOTE – Unfiltered air will cause accelerated engine wear.

2. Inspect for end seal movement inside the housing. End seal movement is indicated if the seal contact
area is polished. A polished contact area indicates that unfiltered air has passed by the filter element and
into the engine.

3. Inspect air cleaner element for end cap dents, holes, damaged seals, and soot.

4. Inspect air intake hoses and clamps for tightness and positioning over sealing beads.

5. Inspect the chassis mounted charge air cooler and piping.

Air Induction System Pressure Test

1. Mask the outer diameter of air cleaner air inlet with duct tape and plug air cleaner canister drain.

2. Remove the air cleaner restriction indicator or tubing to the air cleaner. Install a plug to seal the opening.

3. Find the cold air discharge pipe containing a plug. Remove the plug and connect a manually regulated air
supply with a pressure gauge refer to Regulated Air Supply (See Figure 33, page 58).

Figure 33 Regulated Air Supply

4. Apply 5 -8 psi of air pressure to the air induction system. A constant air supply is needed to replace
air lost through opened intake valves.

5. Coat areas a through f listed below with a soap solution and check for leaks: refer to Air Induction System
Leakage (See Figure 34, page 59).

EGES-215
2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530 59

a. Air cleaner body surface around the outlet pipe.


b. Air cleaner outlet pipe to air cleaner body junction.
c. All clamped hose and gasket connections between air cleaner outlet and intake manifold / valve
cover. This includes turbocharger connections.

Figure 34 Checking For Air Induction System Leakage


d. Surface of all air induction piping and hoses between air cleaner and intake manifold / valve cover.
e. Air compressor air inlet piping from the air cleaner tube to and including the fitting and the gasket.
f. Piping to the air charge cooler.

6. Leakage is not permitted between air cleaner and turbocharger (suction side). If leaks are found, tighten
hose clamps. If leaks continue, replace all parts as necessary. Retest corrected area.

NOTE – Air induction leaks could indicate dirt in the engine. Dirt can cause pistons rings to wear
or break causing high oil consumption and excessive blue smoke and pitting or erosion of the
turbocharger compressor wheel. If leaks are found, test crankcase pressure.

Tools Required

• Inspection Lamp
• Air Pressure Regulator

ENGINE OIL CHECK


Table 5
3. Engine Oil Check
• Leaks
• Contaminated oil (fuel or coolant)
• Oil grade, viscosity and level
• Miles/hours on oil
• Oil pressure

Purpose

To check engine oil level, quality, and pressure.

Test Procedure

1. Park vehicle on level ground. Check oil level with oil level gauge (allow sufficient time for oil to drain
back to oil pan).

A. If there is little or no oil in the crankcase the fuel injectors will not work correctly.
B. If the oil level is above full, the engine has been incorrectly serviced, or fuel is diluting the oil.
Check for fuel odor in oil.

2. Inspect oil for color and odor. Milky white oil and an ethylene glycol odor will indicate coolant contamination.

3. Check engine service records for correct oil grade and viscosity for ambient operating temperatures. Do
not use 15W-40 oil below 20 F (-6.7 C). Long oil drain intervals can cause increased oil viscosity; thicker
oil will make engine cranking and starting more difficult below freezing temperatures. See lube oil chart in
the engine operator’s manual for the correct grade of oil for vehicle operation in various temperature ranges.

Possible Causes of Incorrect Fuel Injection

• Low oil level - oil leak, oil consumption, or incorrect servicing.


• High oil level - Incorrect servicing, fuel dilution possibly from lift pump.
• Oil contamination with coolant - Oil cooler, head gasket porosity, (accessories i.e. water cooled air
compressors).
• Incorrect viscosity for ambient operating temperature.

Tools Required

• None

INTAKE / EXHAUST RESTRICTION CHECK


Table 6
4. Intake/Exhaust Restriction Test
• Hoses and piping
• Filter minder, (see figure A on back of form)
• Intake/exhaust restriction

Purpose

To determine if intake or exhaust restriction is causing hard or no start conditions.

NOTE – High intake or exhaust restriction can cause a large amount of black or blue smoke when starting
the engine.

Inspection

Inspect the following parts for restriction, damage, or incorrect installation:

1. Air cleaner inlet and ducting.

2. Air cleaner housing, filter element, and gaskets.

IMPORTANT – Filter Minder: Intake restriction should be below 25 in H20 @ full load or 12.5 in H20 @ high
idle. When the filter element reaches maximum allowable restriction, the yellow indicator (See Figure 35,
page 63) will reach the top of window and automatically lock in this position.

NOTE – See Performance Diagnostics for Intake Restriction details (See Table 24, page 106).

3. Exhaust system piping.

Possible Causes of Intake or Exhaust Restriction

• Snow, plastic bags, or other foreign material can restrict air flow in the air cleaner inlet. On engines recently
repaired, rags or cap plugs may have been left in the intake system.
• Tailpipe or muffler may be damaged or collapsed.
• Catalytic converter (if equipped) may be restricted.
• Retarder could be stuck in the closed position.

Active DTC’s
Inactive DTC’s

Purpose

To determine if the Electronic Control Module (ECM) has detected Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) that
could cause hard or no start conditions.

Test Procedure

NOTE – Do Test 8, if EST is not available (See Table 10, page 70)

NOTE – Turn all accessories and ignition OFF, before connecting Electronic Service Tool (EST) tool to
the American Trucking Association (ATA) diagnostic connector.

Connect the EST to the ATA diagnostic connector. The ATA connector is located below the left side dash panel
next to the cab courtesy lamp (See Figure 36, page 64).

NOTE – The EST will need to be booted up when plugged into the ATA connector. Refer to the EST
operators manual.

Figure 36
1. ATA Connector (shown with protective cap in place)

If there are any DTC’s, they will appear on the screen along with a description of the code. DTC’s will be
listed as either Active, Inactive, or Active/Inactive.

Active codes are DTC’s that are occurring now. In an electronic control system an active code indicates that
the condition that caused the code is now present in the system.

Inactive DTC’s are from previous ignition Key ON cycles and are stored in memory. An Inactive DTC indicates
that the condition that caused the code is not present in the electronic control system in this key cycle. An
Active Code will become an inactive code when the ignition key is turned Off.

EGES-215

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE ACCESS


Table 10
8. Diagnostic Trouble Code Access
See figure C on the back of form.
• Set Parking Brake, turn ignition switch ON.
• Depress CRUISE ON and RESUME/ACCEL buttons simultaneously.
DTC’s found

Purpose

To read DTC’s detected by the Electronic Control Module (ECM) if the Electronic Service Tool (EST) is not
available, or if the EST will not communicate with the ECM.

The Cruise Control buttons on the steering wheel act as an interface between the Operator and the ECM. The
resulting flashes of the amber ENGINE lamp indicates the ECM is performing a series of electronic tests.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Access Procedure

To display Diagnostic Trouble Codes, set the parking brake and turn the ignition key to the ON position. Press
and release the CRUISE ON button and the RESUME/ACCEL button simultaneously (See Figure 39, page 70).

Figure 39 Cruise Control Buttons on Steering Wheel

When the test is complete, the ECM will flash the red ENGINE lamp and the amber ENGINE lamp to signal
the Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes by following the sequence below. This
following sequence occurs each time the two Cruise Control buttons are depressed to access the Diagnostic
Trouble Codes:

1. The red ENGINE lamp will flash once to indicate the beginning of ACTIVE DTC’s.

2. The amber ENGINE lamp will flash repeatedly signaling the active DTC’s.

NOTE – All DTC’s are three digits. Code 111 indicates no Diagnostic Trouble Codes have been
detected.

3. Count the amber flashes in sequence. After each digit of the code a short pause will occur. Three flashes
and a pause would indicate number 3. Two flashes, a pause, three flashes, a pause, and two flashes
and a pause would indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code 232. If there is more than one DTC, the red ENGINE
lamp will flash once indicating the beginning of another active DTC.

EGES-215
2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530 71

After all active DTC’s have flashed, the red ENGINE lamp will flash twice to indicate the start of INACTIVE
DTC’s. Count the flashes from the amber ENGINE lamp. If there is more than one inactive code, the red
ENGINE lamp will flash once between each DTC.

After all DTC’s have been sent, the red ENGINE lamp will flash three times indicating END OF MESSAGE.

To repeat DTC transmission, press and release CRUISE ON and RESUME/ACCEL buttons once. The ECM
will once again send the stored DTC’s.

EST DATA LIST


Table 11
9. EST Data List
Do tests 10, 11, 12 if EST is not available.
• Enter data in the Actual column below.
• Monitor DATA for 20 seconds or more while cranking engine.
PID Spec Actual
Battery Voltage 7 Volts min.
Engine rpm 130 rpm min.
ICP Pressure 500 psi min.
• If voltage is low, see ECM Diagnostics.
• If no rpm is noted, check DTC’s.
• If ICP is low, do Test 13.

Purpose

To determine if systems needed for starting meet operating specifications.

Test Procedure

IMPORTANT – Test must be done with fully charged batteries.

WARNING – To avoid personal injury, do not under any circumstances allow smoking, an
electric spark or open flame near the battery or explosion may occur.

WARNING – To avoid personal injury, be certain that the transmission is in neutral, parking
brake is applied, and drive wheels are blocked prior to cranking engine.

To measure battery voltage, engine cranking rpm, and Injection Control Pressure (ICP), read Electronic
Service Tool (EST) data, while cranking the engine for a minimum of 20 seconds.

If an EST is not available, use a Digital Multimeter (DMM) as an alternative to perform the following tests:

Connect the EST tool to the American Trucking Association (ATA) diagnostic connector. The connector is on
the underside of the dash panel (left side) inside the cab in most applications. Use Master Diagnostics to view
Battery Voltage, Engine rpm, and ICP pressure while cranking (See MASTER DIAGNOSTICS (MD 32),
page 394).

1. Turn ignition switch ON.

2. Crank the engine and read data on the screen. The data will be displayed when the engine begins to
crank. The battery voltage must be 7 or more volts.

EGES-215
2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530 73

3. If voltage to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) drops below 7 volts, the ECM will not remain powered
up. If the ECM does not get power through the ECM relay, the engine will not start.

4. Engine cranking speed must generate the required ICP to operate the fuel injectors and create the
required compression to ignite the fuel. If the EST shows 0 rpm during engine cranking, the ECM may
not be receiving a signal from the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.

5. If the CMP sensor is not functioning, it must be replaced. The ECM will not allow the Injector Pressure
Regulator (IPR) valve to fully activate without a CMP signal.

6. If the EST indicates low or no injection control pressure, check oil level in oil reservoir (on front cover).
Remove the engine harness connector from the Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor. Remove the EOT
sensor from the front cover. Oil should drain from the internal reservoir. If oil does not drain from the
sensor hole continue to crank the engine.

NOTE – Proceed with caution when removing sensor. Do not completely remove if oil is present.

7. If the oil reservoir level continues to fall, the primary lube oil pump may be inadequate in its duty to supply
oil to the reservoir. See Low ICP Pressure Test 13 (See Table 15, page 84).

Possible Causes

• Low battery voltage - Failed batteries, high resistance at battery cable connections, or in wiring to the ECM.
• Defective ECM power relay
• Blown 40A in-line fuse (in battery box) which supplies voltage to the ECM
• Low cranking rpm - Can be caused by electrical system malfunctions, incorrect oil viscosity, or long oil
change intervals in cold ambient temperatures.
• No engine rpm indication on EST while cranking the engine. - This can be caused by a faulty CMP sensor
or faulty circuitry to the ECM. Recheck for DTC’s after cranking engine. See EST, Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (See Table 7, page 64) or Diagnostic Trouble Code Access (DTC) (See Table 10, page 70).
• Low ICP Pressure - This could indicate a leak in the high pressure oil system or a defective ICP sensor.
• A defective high pressure oil pump, pump drive, defective Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR), or electronic
controls for the regulator could also cause low injection control pressure.

7. Connect (+) lead of the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to green terminal and the (-) lead to black terminal of
the Breakout Tee.

8. Monitor ICP pressure (signal voltage) while cranking engine and record on diagnostic form.

9. If ICP pressure is greater than 500 psi or 1 volt, go to ICP Leakage Test. If ICP pressure is less than 500
psi or 1 volt, do the following. Install a breakout tee and measure voltage at red pin. Voltage should be 12
± 0.5V. Ground the green pin to the chassis ground while cranking. If pressure is above 500 psi or 1V refer
to IPR Diagnostics in Section 3. If pressure is still low proceed with the following steps.

WARNING – To avoid personal injury, be certain that the transmission is in neutral, parking
brake is applied, and drive wheels are blocked prior to cranking engine.

A. Remove fuel transfer pump on the housing.


B. Crank the engine and check rotation of the fuel transfer pump camshaft inside the housing. If
camshaft is not rotating, remove high pressure pump and tighten drive gear. Reinstall high
pressure pump. Recheck ICP pressure while cranking engine.
C. If pressure is low, replace IPR valve and recheck ICP pressure.
D. If pressure is still low, replace high pressure oil pump.

ICP Leakage Test

1. Remove intake manifold/valve cover.

2. Remove ICP sensor and adapter plug (used previously) from high pressure hose. Reattach hose to oil
manifold. Remove the other end of the hose from the high pressure pump and connect an air pressure
regulator to the (removed) hose as shown in the illustration ICP Leakage Test (See Figure 48, page 87).

4. Inspect for leakage around the base of each fuel injector.

If an injector leaks, remove and inspect injector for damage or worn O-rings.

If injectors do not leak, perform a Key-On Engine-Off Injector Test with air pressure still applied. Check oil
discharge from each injector. Oil discharge should be equal. Excess oil leakage indicates defective fuel
injectors.

To find injector leaks, remove air supply and regulator from the high pressure hose and follow the procedure
below.

A. Connect an automotive cylinder leak tester to the high pressure hose and apply air pressure
from the cylinder leak tester.
B. Conduct an Key-On Engine-Off Injector Test to determine the percent of cylinder leakage for each
actuated injector. Remove and inspect injectors showing the most leakage.
C. If none of the injectors have excessive leakage, remove all injectors. Inspect all O-rings for
wear and damage. Replace faulty O-rings.

If oil entered the fuel system, drain fuel tank(s) of contaminated fuel.

Possible Causes

Low injection pressure (voltage) indicates low oil pressure to the injectors. This may be caused by

PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
ENGINE OIL CHECK
Table 17
1. Engine Oil Check
• Check oil level and leaks.
• Contaminated oil (fuel or coolant)
• Check oil grade and viscosity.
• Oil pressure

Purpose

To check engine oil level and quality and determine if oil pressure is correct for the injection control pressure
system.

Test Procedure

1. Park vehicle on level ground. Check oil level with oil level gauge. If the oil level is, the fuel injectors
will not work correctly.

If the oil level is above full, the engine has been incorrectly serviced, or fuel is diluting the oil. Check
oil for fuel odor.

2. Inspect oil for color and odor. Milky white oil and an ethylene glycol odor indicates coolant contamination.

3. Check engine service records for correct oil grade and viscosity for ambient operating temperatures.
Do not use 15W-40 motor oil below 20 F (-6.7 C). Long oil drain intervals can cause increased oil
viscosity; Thicker oil will make engine cranking and starting more difficult below freezing temperatures.
See lube oil chart in the engine operator’s manual for the correct grade of oil for vehicle operation in
various temperature ranges.

Possible Causes

• Oil level low - Oil leak, oil consumption, incorrect servicing.


• Oil level high - Incorrect servicing, fuel dilution from lift pump.
• Oil contamination with coolant - Oil cooler, head gasket, porosity, (accessories i.e. water cooled air
compressors.)

Tools Required

• None

• If fuel pressure is low, replace fuel filter, clean fuel strainer, and retest.
• If fuel pressure is still low, do Performance Diagnostics Test 3.

Purpose

To determine if fuel system has clean fuel and correct pressure to start and run the engine.

Sufficient / Clean Fuel Test

1. Take fuel from tank.

NOTE – Fuel must be correct grade, clean, and undiluted.

2. Inspect fuel. Fuel must be clean, free of air, contaminants, water, icing or clouding. Fuel should be straw
colored. Fuel with a colored dye (red or blue) indicates designation for off-highway use.

3. Check for gasoline or kerosene odors. Engine oil in the fuel may indicate an injector O-ring leak and loss of
injection control pressure. See Hard Start/No Start Diagnostic Test 13, Low ICP Pressure Test, which
includes ICP Leakage Test in Section 2 (See Table 15, page 84) to determine the cause of oil in the fuel.
Drain tank and properly dispose of contaminated fuel.

valve was defective.

Possible Causes

• A fuel filter could cause high restriction and low fuel pressure because of dirt or fuel jelling in cold ambient
temperatures. Change filter and retest.
• Primary fuel filter or fuel/water separator clogged.
• A kinked or severely bent fuel supply line or blockage at the pickup tube could cause restriction and
therefore low fuel pressure.
• A loose fuel line on the suction side of the fuel system could cause air to be ingested into the system
and cause low fuel pressure.
• Primary fuel filter or fuel/water separator may be ingesting air into fuel system via loose connections etc.
• Fuel return valve defective or stuck open due to debris.
• Defective fuel transfer pump.

Tools Required

backup method when an EST is not available.

Table 23
7. Diagnostic Trouble Code Access
See figure C on back of form.
• Set Parking Brake, turn ignition switch ON.
• Depress CRUISE ON and RESUME/ACCEL buttons simultaneously.
DTC’s Found

Purpose

To read DTC’s detected by the Electronic Control Module (ECM), if the Electronic Service Tool (EST) is not
available, or if the EST does not receive Self Test Input data.

The Cruise Control buttons on the steering wheel act as an interface between the Operator and the ECM. The
resulting display of the flashing amber ENGINE lamp indicates the ECM is performing a series of electronic
tests.

Test Procedure

To display Diagnostic Trouble Codes, set the parking brake and turn the ignition key to the ON position.
Press and release the CRUISE ON button and the RESUME/ACCEL button simultaneously (See Figure 56,
page 104). Do not start the engine.

When the test is complete, the ECM will flash the red ENGINE lamp and the amber ENGINE lamp to signal
the Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

To read the Diagnostic Trouble Code count each time the amber ENGINE lamp flashes follow the sequence
below. This sequence occurs each time the Cruise Control buttons are depressed to access the Diagnostic
Trouble Codes.

Figure 56 Cruise Control Buttons on Steering Wheel

1. The red ENGINE lamp will flash once to indicate the beginning of ACTIVE DTC’s.

2. The amber ENGINE lamp will flash repeatedly signaling the active DTC’s.

NOTE – All DTC’s are three digits. Code 111 indicates no Diagnostic Trouble Codes have been
detected.

EGES-215
2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530 105

3. Count the flashes in sequence. After each digit of the code a short pause will occur. Three flashes and a
pause would indicate number 3. Two flashes, a pause, three flashes, a pause, and two flashes and
a pause would indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code 232. If there is more than one DTC, the red ENGINE
lamp will flash once indicating the beginning of another active DTC.

After all active DTC’s have flashed, the red ENGINE lamp will flash twice to indicate the start of INACTIVE
DTC’s. Count the flashes from the amber ENGINE lamp. If there is more than one inactive code, the red
ENGINE lamp will flash once between each DTC.

After all DTC’s have been sent, the red ENGINE lamp will flash three times indicating END OF MESSAGE.

To repeat DTC transmission, press and release the CRUISE ON and RESUME/ACCEL buttons once. The
ECM will once again send the stored DTC’s. If DTC’s are set, see Engine Diagnostic Trouble Codes (See
Table 48, page 162).

Purpose

To determine if the intake/air cleaner is restricted. A restricted intake/air cleaner will cause low power and
poor fuel economy.

NOTE – High intake restriction may cause excessive black or blue smoke when starting the engine.

Inspect Air Intake Restriction Indicator

1. See Operation and Maintenance Manual, for details about the air cleaner restriction gauge and indicator.

NOTE – Replace the air cleaner element when restriction reaches the maximum allowable limit.
Measure restriction with a service indicator, water manometer, or magnehelic gauge.

2. Check air cleaner elements for damaged gaskets or dents. Replace as necessary.

3. Inspect inlet piping for debris.

Single Element Air Cleaner

Measure air cleaner restriction as follows:

1. Attach the restriction test gauge to water manometer or magnehelic gauge with air cleaner housing tap.
See Restriction Test (access location) (See Figure 57, page 107).

2. Run engine at high idle rpm.

3. Replace the air cleaner element when the test gauge shows a restriction greater than 12.5 in H2O (3.13
kPa).

EGES-215
2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530 107

Figure 57 1. Intake Restriction Test Access Location

NOTE – The true maximum air cleaner restriction can only be obtained when operating the engine at
full load and rated horsepower. The vehicle mounted indicator or vacuum gauge will sense maximum
restriction. When 25 in H2O (6.22 kPa) is sensed on the vehicle mounted gauges, replace the air
cleaner element. For convenience, air cleaner restriction can be measured at high idle (no load);
however, the element must be replaced when 12.5 in H2O (3.13 kPa) is measured at no load.

NOTE – High air cleaner restriction can cause turbocharger seals to unseat, causing oil to be drawn
in around seals and into the engine.

Dual Element Cleaner

The dual element air cleaner provides a large primary (outer) filter element and an optional small secondary
(inner) filter element. The secondary element should be used in dusty environments.

The dual element air cleaner restriction connection is located between the primary and the secondary element
in the bottom of the air cleaner housing. This arrangement allows only the primary (outer) element to be
sensed by the restriction indicator or dash mounted vacuum gauge. The inner element is not recorded on
the restriction indicator or dash mounted vacuum gauge.

To determine inner element restriction use the visual check procedure:

108 2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530

Visual Inspection Procedure:

NOTE – Two different types of indicators appear on the air cleaner elements. This is the result of two
separate vendors supplying air cleaner elements to International during assembly. Replace the element
when the green dot disappears from the element or from the window in the retaining nut.

Visually inspect the restriction indicator built into the inner element or inner element retaining nut.

Two different types:

1. Dual Element Air Cleaner with Indicator in End Cap (See Figure 58, page 108).

2. Dual Element Air Cleaner Retaining Nut Indicator (See Figure 59, page 109).

IMPORTANT – Each supplier’s retaining nut requires a different torque value.

FUEL PRESSURE TEST (FULL LOAD)


Table 27
11. Fuel Pressure Test (Full Load)
See figure J on back of form.
• Measure fuel pressure at fuel filter bleeder.
• Measure pressure at full load, rated speed.
Instrument Spec Actual
0-160 psi gauge 30 psi min.
• If pressure is low, replace fuel filter, clean fuel strainer and retest.
• If pressure is still low, go to Test 3.

Purpose

To determine if the fuel system is supplying the engine with the proper fuel quantity and pressure at full load
conditions.

Test Procedure

WARNING – To avoid personal injury, be certain that the transmission is in neutral, parking
brake is applied, and drive wheels are blocked prior to starting engine.

NOTE – If the fuel filter has a water-in-fuel probe, ask the vehicle operator if the water-in-fuel lamp (yellow)
is illuminated during vehicle operation.

1. If pressure gauge is not connected to fuel system in Test 2, remove air bleed valve on fuel filter header.
Install 1/8 in (3 mm) pipe fitting in place of the bleed valve (See Figure 51, page 93).

2. Connect a line from the fitting to the 0-160 psi gauge of the Gauge Bar. See Measuring Fuel Pressure with
Gauge Bar (See Figure 52, page 94). Start engine and run at low idle to check for fuel leaks in-line to
pressure gauge.

NOTE – Bleed air from the fuel line to insure an accurate reading.

3. Drive vehicle on road till engine reaches operating temperature. Find an open section of road and select a
suitable gear. Depress the accelerator pedal (full depression) to the floor and accelerate to rated speed
and 100% load.

NOTE – Drive the vehicle uphill or fully loaded to reach the correct engine loading at rated engine
speed.

4. Measure fuel pressure and record on Mechanical Diagnostics form EGED-220. If pressure is not within
specifications, replace fuel filter, clean fuel strainer, and recheck fuel pressure. If fuel pressure remains low
after replacing the filter, perform Transfer Pump Restriction Test 3 (See Table 19, page 96).

NOTE – Several crank cycles may be required to purge the air from the fuel system after replacing the
fuel filter.

EGES-215
2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530 113

Possible Causes:

• A clogged fuel filter or fuel strainer could cause high restriction and low fuel pressure. Replace fuel
filter, clean strainer, and retest.
• Debris in the fuel regulator valve will cause low fuel pressure, see Test 3 (See Table 19, page 96).
• A kinked or severely bent fuel supply line, or blockage at the pickup tube could cause restriction and low
fuel pressure, see Test 3 (See Table 19, page 96).
• A loose fuel line on the suction side of the fuel system could cause air to be ingested into the system and
cause low fuel pressure, see Test 3 (See Table 19, page 96).
• The fuel pump could have internal damage, e.g. seized plunger or leaking check valves.
• A restriction from the transfer pump inlet to the fuel tank can cause low fuel pressure.
• A restriction between the fuel inlet fitting, strainer and transfer pump inlet can cause low fuel pressure.

Tools Required

• Gauge Bar (PS94-831-3) and appropriate line with 1/8 in NPT fitting

• If ICP is low or unstable, disconnect ICP sensor and retest.
• If problem is resolved, see ICP diagnostics.
• If pressure is still low or unstable, replace IPR and retest.

Purpose

To determine if the high pressure lube oil system is providing sufficient hydraulic pressure to operate the
injectors.

Test Procedure

Test should be performed at full load in conjunction with Fuel Pressure Test (Full Load) Test 11 (See Table
27, page 112), and Boost Pressure Test 13 (See Table 29, page 117).

NOTE – Turn all accessories and the ignition off, before connecting Electronic Service Tool (EST) tool
to American Trucking Association (ATA) diagnostic connector.

1. Connect the EST to the ATA data link connector. See ATA Connector Location (See Figure 36, page 64).

2. Start Master Diagnostics and select the pre-configured session entitled Road Performance. Drive
vehicle on road until engine reaches operating temperature. Find an open section of road and select a
suitable gear. Depress the accelerator pedal (full depression) to the floor and accelerate to rated speed
and 100% load.

NOTE – Drive the vehicle uphill or fully loaded to reach the correct engine load at rated engine speed.

3. Read maximum pressure for ICP pressure and record on Electronic Control System Diagnostic form
EGED-220.

4. Stop the vehicle, read psi for low and high idle ICP pressures, and record on Electronic Control System
Diagnostic form EGED-220.

Alternate Method for Measuring ICP Using (Breakout Tee)

1. Remove engine harness connector from ICP sensor.

2. Connect ICP Breakout Tee to the removed engine harness connector and the ICP sensor.

3. Place a DMM in cab of vehicle and connect a long set of leads (+Green, -Black) to the Breakout Tee
utilizing the connection points as shown in Measuring Injection Control Pressure Using Breakout Tee (See
Figure 44, page 82).

EGES-215
2 MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS DT 466 and DT 530 115

4. Operate vehicle under load as described in Test Procedure Step 2 page 114.

Possible Causes

Low voltage for injection control pressure indicates insufficient oil pressure to operate the fuel injectors
(perform ICP Leakage Test). This may be caused by:

• Defective IPR valve


• Defective High Pressure Pump
• Injection Control Pressure system leakage
• ECM commanding the IPR valve to reduce injection control pressure due to:

a. Low Boost Pressure


b. Incorrect signal from Accelerator Position Sensor (APS)
c. Incorrect signal from ICP sensor or wrong ICP sensor

ICP Oil Aeration Test

High-pressure oil supplies the mechanical force needed to push fuel into the cylinder for combustion. Aerated
oil can retard the timing of fuel injection into the cylinder. When aerated oil is suspected, perform the following
steps.

WARNING – To avoid personal injury, be certain that the transmission is in neutral, parking
brake is applied, and drive wheels are blocked prior to starting engine.

ICP Oil Aeration Test

1. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature.

2. Raise engine speed to high idle. Note ICP value (ICP will rise when the engine goes to high idle and then
settle to a lower value within a few seconds. Record the lower value).

3. Hold engine speed at high idle for 2 minutes.

4. Watch the ICP value during this time period. Compare with the initial value. If ICP rises and continues to
increase in value, the lube oil is being aerated.

Possible causes of oil aeration include overfilled sump, cracked pickup tube, and missing or faulty pickup
tube gasket.

Tools Required

WASTEGATE ACTUATOR TEST


Table 31
15. Wastegate Actuator Test
• Apply regulated air to actuator.
• Check for leakage and actuator travel.
Instrument Spec Actual
0 to 60 psi gauge 28 ± 2 psi

Purpose

To determine if the wastegate actuator works correctly.

Test Procedure

1. Remove actuator boost line from turbocharger compressor housing.

2. Connect an air regulator with a 0-60 psi gauge to the actuator boost line. See Wastegate Actuator Test
(See Figure 62, page 122).

3. Mark actuator shaft with paint pen.

4. Spray leak detector around the actuator housing. Slowly apply air pressure to the actuator. Movement of
the actuator shaft (indicated by position of paint mark) should start between 26 and 30 psi.

If the actuator shaft moves 0.015 in (0.369 mm) or more and the housing does not leak air, the actuator is
good. If the actuator shaft moves less than 0.015 in (0.369 mm) and the housing leaks air, the actuator must
be replaced. Before replacing the actuator, remove the turbocharger.

Possible Causes

• Sticky flapper valve


• Ruptured actuator diaphragm
• Leaky canister
• Leaky hose to actuator

Tools Required

• Air Pressure Regulator, 0-60 psi gauge, and paint marker.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC FORM


INTRODUCTION
General Instructions

This section contains support information for the ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC FORM
(EGED-225) front view and the rear view of this form as well as Diagnostic Trouble Code sheet CGE-309. It
includes 31 diagnostic sections, each related to an ECM circuit or function. Each of these sections include
the following:

• Functional diagram of the circuit.


• Circuit function.
• Circuit diagram with wire and pin connector numbers.
• Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) related to the circuit or function.
• Recommended diagnostic procedures necessary to effectively diagnose system problems.

Section 3 Table of Contents can be used to locate the appropriate diagnostic section by circuit abbreviation.
The DTC Circuit Index (See Table 49, page 165) can be used to locate the appropriate diagnostic section by
DTC. The diagnostic information in each section is structured as follows:

• The Functional Diagram and text is intended to show the technician the engine components related to
that circuit.
• The Diagnostic page is intended to give the technician the circuit diagram and the diagnostic steps
necessary to diagnose DTC’s or to verify that the circuit is functioning correctly.
• The Extended Description page is intended to give the technician a description of the circuit operation, and
where appropriate a description of the DTC’s and their most probable causes.
• The truck cab wiring diagrams are provided when the circuit extends to the chassis or cab.

Diagnostic Forms

The front view of Electronic Control System Diagnostic Form (EGED-225) shows the engine circuit and signal
values (See Figure 67, page 154). The rear view of Electronic Control System Diagnostic Form (EGED-225)
shows the chassis wiring to the ECM (See Figure 68, page 155). The Diagnostic Trouble Code sheet CGE-309
shows the Diagnostic Trouble Code Number, Description, and Probable Causes (See Table 48, page 162).

A circuit diagram of the entire electronic control system is divided as follows:

• The ECM engine sensor harness with sensors (See Figure 69, page 157).
• The ECM chassis harness circuit from the ECM to the Dash Pass Through Connector (See Figure 70,
page 160).
• The chassis harness circuits from the Dash Pass Through Connector back into the cab (See Figure 71,
page 161).

NOTE – The symbols < & > & > are used in each of the diagnostic sections. They are defined as follows:

(<) indicates a value less than

(>) indicates a value greater than

(>) indicates a value equal to or greater than

Disconnect the harness connector from the sensor or actuator and inspect for corrosion, bent pins, spread
terminals, or any condition that could cause an intermittent connection. Pin grip of the female terminal can be
tested by inserting the appropriate tool from the terminal test adapter kit (ZTSE4435). Terminals that do not
grip the sensor pins properly should be replaced, (See Figure 77, page 173).

Figure 77 Testing Pin Grip

USING MASTER DIAGNOSTICS TO TEST 3 WIRE PRESSURE AND APS / IVS SENSORS
Displaying Sensor Voltages

Sensor voltages can be displayed on Master Diagnostics (Version 2.31 and above) by opening the session file
SENSOR VOLTAGE and starting the KEY-ON ENGINE-OFF CONTINUOUS MONITOR test. Voltages can
be displayed with the engine running by using the KEY-ON ENGINE-RUNNING CONTINUOUS MONITOR
test. The voltage displayed by Master Diagnostics represents the voltage read by the ECM on the internal
circuitry connected to the sensor signal pin of the 60-pin ECM connector. The following signal voltages will be
displayed: APS, BAP ECT, EOP, EOT, EPS, IAT, ICP, MAP, RPS, IVS PWR.

Signal Circuit, Open Circuit Check (3 wire)

Use Master Diagnostics to display the sensor signal voltage. Install the breakout tee in the harness connector.
Read the displayed voltage with the sensor disconnected. The displayed voltage should match the expected
voltage listed in the diagnostic section for that sensor. The open circuit signal will be near zero unless the
circuit is shorted or incorrectly wired to VREF, B+, or other voltage sources, (See Figure 78, page 174).

Reference Voltage, VREF Check (3 wire)

Use a 0.5 k jumper wire to connect the VREF pin to the signal pin of the breakout tee. View the voltage on the
EST. Reference voltage should measure greater than 4.9 volts with the sensor disconnected. If the voltage
reading is lower than expected, verify reference voltage at other VREF sensors that share the same circuit (VREF
D: EOP, MAP, CMP, ICP), (VREF B: APS/IVS, BAP), (VREF C: body builder accessories). If the other sensors on
the shared circuit have VREF that meets the expectations, the harness wire from the harness splice point to
the sensor connector is at fault. If the other sensors have also lost the reference voltage, disconnect the
sensors one at a time while observing the voltage. If VREF returns after disconnecting a sensor, that sensor
is shorting VREF to ground. If VREF is suspected of shorting out intermittently during engine operation, use a
breakout tee on the ICP or MAP sensor. Jumping VREF to the signal will allow VREF to be displayed on Master
Diagnostics while running the engine.

NOTE – Operation of the engine may be degraded slightly because the sensor will set an active code
and fault management will take over its function. Refer to Measuring Reference Voltage with Master
Diagnostics, (See Figure 79, page 175). Sensor voltage cannot be displayed while the vehicle is moving.

NOTE – THE ECM WILL NOT DISPLAY A SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 5 VOLTS. If VREF is
shorted high (voltage greater than 5.5 volts) the signal voltage will also be biased higher than its true
reading. The MAP sensor is the most sensitive to this higher VREF and will set an in-range Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) before the ICP and EOP sensors.

Sensor Ground Check (3 wire)

Use a jumper wire to connect VREF, the signal , and the ground together through the breakout tee. View the
voltage on the EST with the sensor disconnected. The displayed voltage should match the expected voltage
listed in the diagnostic section for that sensor. The displayed voltage will be near 0 volts if the ground circuit
has the correct resistance. Refer to Sensor Ground Check, (See Figure 80, page 175).

volts if the ground circuit resistance is within spec. (See Figure 82, page 177).

Sensor Voltage Supply (2 wire)

Use a 0.5 k jumper wire to jump the signal pin to the ground pin of the breakout tee. View the voltage on the
EST with the sensor disconnected. The displayed voltage should match the expected voltage listed in the
diagnostic section for that sensor. When jumped, the displayed voltage should be less than 1.0 volt. If the EST
displays greater than 1.0 volt the signal circuit is shorted to VREF, B+, or other voltage sources.

Operational Voltage Checks

Use Master Diagnostics to display the operational voltages. With a breakout tee installed between the sensor
and the harness, a DMM can be used to measure the voltage at the signal pin on the sensor. The displayed
value and the measured value should be approximately the same. If the values do not match the circuit may
have high resistance. The displayed values can also be compared to the operational voltage specifications
listed in the appropriate diagnostic section. These measurements are useful for determining an in-range or
intermittent fault.

ACTUATOR AND SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITHOUT MASTER


DIAGNOSTICS
Connector Voltage Checks

Turn the ignition key on. Plug the breakout tee into the harness and measure voltage at each pin with a digital
multimeter (DMM). Compare meter readings with the expected voltages listed in the diagnostic section. If
the tee is not available, use the appropriate tool from the terminal test adapter kit (ZTSE4435). Do not probe
the connector terminals with the DMM leads directly. This test will determine if that circuit is shorted or
incorrectly wired to VREF, B+, or other voltage sources.

• Signal return circuits will measure 0 - 0.25V on a "Pull Down" sensor circuit or close to 5V or 12V for a
"Pull Up" circuit.
• Actuator circuits may be either ON/OFF or pulse width modulated (PWM). If the actuator has an ON/OFF
circuit, the ECM controls the voltage or the ground. When pulse width modulated (PWM), the ECM controls
the duty cycle or on time of the power or ground.

EGES-215
178 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

• VREF should measure 5 ± 0.5V (4.5 - 5.5 V) with the sensor disconnected. If the voltage reading is lower
than expected, disconnect the sensors that operate on that VREF circuit (VREF-D: EOP, MAP, CMP, ICP; VREF -
B: APS/IVS, BAP; VREF - C body builder accessories) one at a time while observing VREF. If VREF returns
after disconnecting a sensor, that sensor is shorting VREF to ground, refer to Measuring Voltage Reference,
(See Figure 83, page 178).

Figure 83 Measuring Vref Voltage with ZTSE4486


1. DMM Probe (red)
2. Vref, Pin B (blue)
3. DMM Probe (to engine ground)

Connector Checks To Ground

Turn the ignition switch off. Disconnect the positive battery cable. Using the breakout tee, measure the
resistance from the lead of the tee to the negative battery terminal. Sensor signal ground circuits should
measure less than 5 ohms. VREF and signal circuits should measure greater than 1000 ohms. The control side
of an actuator will measure greater than 1000 ohms, but the expected reading on the other circuit of the
actuator will depend upon what the control side was switching, power or ground. If the ECM was switching the
ground, “low side driver,” then the other circuit of the actuator should measure greater than 1000 ohms from
the connector terminal to battery ground. If the ECM is switching the B+ side, ”high side driver,” the ground
circuit will measure less than 5 ohms from terminal to battery ground, (See Figure 84, page 179).

Harness Resistance Tests

Harness resistance is checked when a circuit is suspected of having high resistance or being open. Perform
this test by connecting a breakout box to the ECM end of the harness and measuring resistance from the pin of
the breakout tee to the pin on the breakout box. Circuit wires should have a resistance of less than 5 ohms.

OPERATIONAL VOLTAGE CHECKS


These checks are made with a DMM and a breakout tee or breakout box. The sensor is connected and the
DMM is used to measure the signal voltage. These measurements are useful for determining an in-range or an
intermittent fault. If a circuit has an intermittent fault you must monitor the voltage while recreating the cause.

When measuring the signal level of a circuit you must understand its function and whether it is an:

1. Analog Voltage

2. Digital Frequency

3. Sine Wave

4. Digital Communication Signal

A standard DMM has certain limitations in measuring any circuit that has a frequency.

CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND DIAGNOSTICS


ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND IDLE VALIDATION SWITCH (APS/IVS)
Signal Functions

Figure 85 APS / IVS Function Diagram

The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APS) is a potentiometer type sensor. When the APS receives a 5V
reference signal and a ground from the Electronic Control Module (ECM), a linear analog voltage signal from
the sensor will indicate the driver’s demand for power. The Idle Validation Switch (IVS) provides 0V or 12V to
the ECM as redundant signal to verify the pedal idle position.

Fault Detection and Management

Any detected malfunction of the APS / IVS sensor circuit will illuminate the amber ENGINE lamp and the
odometer will display WARN ENG. If the ECM detects an APS signal Out of Range HIGH or LOW, the
engine will ignore the APS signal and operate at low idle. If a disagreement in the state of IVS and APS is
detected by the ECM and the ECM determines that it is an IVS fault, the ECM will only allow a maximum
of 50% APS to be commanded. If the ECM cannot discern if it is an APS or IVS fault, the engine will be
allowed to operate at low idle only.

Extended Description

International electronic engines use an electronic accelerator pedal assembly that includes a Accelerator
Position Sensor (APS) as well as an Idle Validation Switch (IVS). These two functions are integrated into one
component mounted on the pedal. The accelerator pedal assembly is serviceable to the extent that the
APS/IVS switch can be replaced without replacing the complete assembly.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) determines the accelerator pedal position by processing input signals
from the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and the Idle Validation Switch (IVS).

The accelerator pedal position is one of the controlling variables in the calculation of desired injection control
pressure.

Accelerator Position Sensor (APS)

The ECM sends a regulated 5V signal through the ECM chassis connector (black) terminal 3 to APS connector
terminal C. The APS then returns a variable voltage signal (depending on pedal position) from the APS
connector terminal A to the ECM at terminal 8. The APS is grounded from connector terminal B to the ECM
signal ground terminal 11. System Diagram for Accelerator, BAP, and Intake Air temperature Sensors, (See
Figure 87, page 185).

APS Auto-Calibration

The ECM learns the lowest and highest pedal positions by reading and storing the minimum and maximum
voltage levels from the APS. In this manner the ECM "auto-calibrates" the system to allow maximum pedal
sensitivity. The ECM auto-calibrates as the key is ON, but when the key is turned OFF, these values are lost.
When the key is turned ON again, this process starts over. When the pedal is disconnected (or a new one is
installed), the pedal does not need to be calibrated. It simply "auto-calibrates" the new pedal assembly
whenever the key is turned ON again.

Idle Validation Switch (IVS)

The ECM expects to receive one of two signals through the ECM chassis connector (black) terminal 27 from
APS/IVS connector terminal D:

• 0V when the pedal is at the idle position.


• 12V when the pedal is depressed.

The Idle Validation Switch receives 12V ignition voltage from the ignition fuse in the fuse box. When the pedal
is NOT in the idle position (throttle applied), the IVS supplies a 12V signal to the ECM.

The ECM compares APS/IVS inputs at terminals 8 and 27 to verify when the pedal is in the idle position. If the
APS signal at terminal 8 indicates throttle is being applied, the ECM expects to see 12V at IVS terminal 27. If
the APS signal at terminal 8 indicates throttle is not applied, the ECM expects to see 0V at IVS terminal 27.
The timing process is critical between the APS and IVS sensors. For this reason, it is very difficult to determine
if the APS/IVS assembly is working properly by using a digital multimeter (DMM).

ECM Diagnostics

When the key is ON, the ECM continuously monitors the APS/IVS circuits for expected voltages. It also
compares the APS and IVS signals for conflict. If the signals are not what the ECM expects to see, Diagnostic
Trouble Codes will be set.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

EGES-215
184 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostic Trouble Code 131

ATA Code, PID 91, FMI 4

ECM: APS Out of Range LOW (ORL)

When code 131 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

ORL code 131 is set if the ECM detects voltage lower than 0.146V at terminal 8 then the ECM restricts engine
speed to idle. Possible causes include; a short to ground or an open VREFor signal circuits. If the condition
causing code 131 is intermittent and the condition is no longer present, the code will become inactive and
normal engine operation will resume.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 132

ATA Code, PID 91, FMI 3

ECM: APS Out of Range HIGH (ORH)

When code 132 is active, the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

ORH code 132 is set if the ECM detects a voltage greater than 4.55V at terminal 8 then the ECM restricts
engine speed to idle. Possible cause; short to VREF or 12V in the APS signal circuit. If the condition causing
code 132 is intermittent and the condition is no longer present, the code will become inactive and normal
engine operation will resume. Code 132 is displayed by either the EST or using the amber ENGINE lamp
to flash the Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes 133, 134 and 135

APS In-Range Fault

The ECM checks the voltage output of the APS by comparing the APS signal with the IVS signal. APS and
IVS signals can disagree in two cases:

• The APS signal indicates the pedal is pressed down to accelerate, but the IVS signal indicates idle position.
• The APS signal indicates the pedal has been released to allow the engine to return to idle, but the IVS
signal indicates off-idle position of the pedal.

If the ECM detects either of the above conditions, the ECM attempts to isolate the source of conflict and set
the appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 133

ATA Code, PID 91, FMI 2

ECM: APS In Range Fault

When code 133 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 185

If the IVS signal is changing and the APS signal is constant, the ECM assumes APS is the conflict source
and sets code 133. Engine rpm is restricted to idle.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 134

ATA Code, PID 91, FMI 7

ECM: APS/IVS Disagree

When code 134 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

If neither the APS or IVS is changing, or both are changing, or the ECM cannot determine which is at fault
in a specified time, code 134 is set. Engine rpm is restricted to idle.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 135

ATA Code, SID 230, FMI 11

ECM: IVS Circuit Fault

When code 135 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

If the APS is changing and IVS is constant, the ECM assumes IVS is the conflict source and sets Diagnostic
Trouble Code 135. In this case the ECM limits the APS signal to a lower value, which provides less than full
rpm, but does not limit engine rpm to idle.

Codes 133, 134 and 135 are caused intermittent conditions; these the codes remain ACTIVE until the vehicle
has been shutdown and restarted. They do not recover without cycling the key switch.

Extended Description

ATA Communication

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) communicates with the MD diagnostic software (electronic service tool -
EST) through connector (1650) shown in ATA Communications Circuit Diagram (See Figure 90, page 189).
The EST communicates with the ECM using the American Trucking Association (ATA) datalink lines (1).

The ATA circuit uses a twisted wire pair. All repairs to this pair must maintain one complete twist per inch along
the entire length of the circuit. This circuit is polarized (one positive and one negative) and reversing the
polarity of this circuit will disrupt communications.

(1) - The ATA datalink is defined by SAE recommended practices J1708 and J1587. This link and connector
(1650) were adopted by the Recommended Practices 1201 and 1202.

ATA Data Link Connector (1650)

All communication between the EST and ECM is done through the EST connector (1650). This
communications link supports the following functions:

• Displaying Diagnostic Trouble Codes and operating conditions on the EST.


• Performing proprietary diagnostic tests programmed into the ECM.
• Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
• Programming performance parameter values.
• Programming calibrations and strategies.

EST connector (1650) has nine pins, labeled A through I, that provide the following:

A. Fused BATTERY power to Pin B for the Interface Cable. Pin A provides a battery ground for
the Interface Cable.
B. EST connector (1650) terminal F is connected by circuit K3A (+) to the positive 4820 ATA bus and
EST connector (1650) terminal G is connected by circuit K3B (–) to the negative 4820 ATA bus.
These two connections allow communication with all components connected to the data link.

EST Connector (1650)

The engine control system does not detect faults in the power or ground circuits to the EST connector (1650).
If the service tool does not communicate when connected, try the service tool on another vehicle if one is
available to determine if the service tool is working properly. If the service tool is OK, then check power and
ground circuits at the ATA connection.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 191

EST Displays

Should the EST not communicate with the ECM, the ATA data link circuit from the EST connector to the ECM
may be disrupted. Verify that the key is ON and then perform diagnostic steps in ATA Communications Circuit
Diagnostics (See Table 52, page 189).

Diagnostic Trouble Code 231

ATA Code, SID 250, FMI 2

ECM: ATA Common Fault

Symptom: Code 231 does not turn the amber ENGINE lamp ON. This code can occur when the ECM can’t
access the ATA data link. If this occurs there will not be any ATA data available with the MD software. The
Diagnostic Trouble Code may be retrieved using the Cruise Control buttons located within the steering wheel.

Wiring Causes: ATA positive or negative circuits between the EST and Diagnostic Connector (1650) and
any other electronic devices (transmissions, brakes etc.) using the ATA bus: Shorted (high or low), open, or
busy (too many devices).

NOTE – On vehicles equipped with the Allison WTEC transmission, this code may be present when
attempting to program the ECM. The WTEC controller must be disconnected when programming the
engine ECM.

System causes can include:

A. A defective ATA device (such as transmission controller or antilock brake controller) connected to
the ATA bus is pulling the signal to ground.
B. Too many ATA devices, although this would be rare.
C. If no system causes are present, replace the ECM with a known good ECM.

The data is transmitted on the same ATA link that supplies information to the EST and the WTEC transmission
controller.

BAROMETRIC ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR (BAP)


Signal Functions

Figure 92 Barometric Absolute Pressure Sensor Function Diagram

The Barometric Absolute Pressure (BAP) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that when supplied with a 5V
reference signal from the ECM produces a linear analog voltage signal that indicates pressure.

Timing Control - The BAP signal is used to determine altitude to adjust timing and fuel quantity to optimize
engine operation and control smoke throughout all altitude conditions.
Fault Detection / Management

When BAP signal voltage is detected Out of Range HIGH or Out of Range LOW by the ECM will ignore the
BAP signal and use the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) signal generated at low idle as an indication of
barometric pressure. If a MAP fault is also detected, the BAP signal will default to 29.6 in Hg (barometric
pressure at sea level).

BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUITS (BRAKE)


Signal Functions

Figure 95 Service Brake Circuit Function Diagram

The service brake circuit function is to signal the ECM when the brakes are applied. This information is used
to disengage the Cruise control and PTO functions. This signal is also used for ECM control of the Vehicle
Retarder and exhaust brake enabling. The brake signal will also interrupt the Cold Ambient Protection feature
and will reset the time interval for the Idle Shut Down feature.

Service Brake Switch Input – The service brake switch is monitored by the Electrical System Controller
(ESC). When the switch changes state, the change is detected by the ESC and relayed over the Drive Train
Data Link to the ECM. Stuck, open, or shorted brake switches will be detected by the ESC.

Diagnostics – If a function that requires a brake switch input does not respond correctly, use Cab Electronics
Diagnostic software to monitor brake switch input to the ESC. If the switch does not change when the pedal
is depressed, diagnose the brake switch circuits using the S08250 - Electrical Troubleshooting Guide -
4200/4300/4400. If the ESC is receiving the brake switch input, use the electronic engine diagnostics software
(Master Diagnostics) to view the brake switch state. If the switch state does not change, verify communications
exist between the ECM and the ESC (does ECM respond to other ESC inputs). If the switch state does
change, verify other conditions do not exist that would stop or delay the reaction to the brake switch status.

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CMP)


Signal Functions

Figure 96 Camshaft Position Sensor Functions

The CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor is a Hall Effect type sensor that generates a digital frequency as windows
on the timing disk pass through its magnetic field. Engine speed is determined by counting 24 windows on
the timing sensor disk each camshaft revolution. The position of cylinder 1 is determined by distinguishing a
narrow vane on the camshaft timing sensor disk.

Engine Mode Selection - Allows the ECM to discern when the engine is in the off, crank or run mode.

Injection Control Pressure - Engine speed is one of the controlling variables in the calculation of desired
injection control pressure.

Fuel Quantity Control/Torque Limiting - Engine torque and fuel is controlled and is dependent on engine
speed. Fuel quantity is determined by engine speed.

Fault Detection / Management

An inactive CMP signal during cranking is detectable by the ECM. An inactive CMP signal will cause a no start
condition. Electrical noise can also be detected by the ECM, if the level is sufficient to effect engine operation a
corresponding Diagnostic Trouble Code will be set.

3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 203

Extended Description

Function

The International engine control system includes a Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP). This sensor provides the
Electronic Control Module (ECM) with a signal that indicates camshaft position and engine speed.

The CMP sensor signal is used by the ECM to synchronize piston position to injector firing sequence. The
injector firing order sequence begins when the ECM detects the narrow vane on the timing disk indicating the
position of number 1 cylinder. Engine position for each cylinder is then continuously calculated as each vane
on the timing disk passes by the CMP sensor. This information is processed by the ECM and used for injection
timing and fuel delivery control. The ECM can then initiate the beginning of firing.

Operation

The Camshaft Position Sensor is a Hall Effect type sensor that generates a digital frequency as windows on
the timing disk pass through the magnetic field. The frequency of the windows passing by the sensor as well
as the width of selected windows allows the ECM to detect engine speed and position. When the narrow vane
passes the CMP sensor, the signal on time is less than when the other vanes pass the sensor. This produces
a signal that the ECM uses to indicate engine position.

Engine speed is detected by the ECM by counting the frequency of the 24 signal pulses for each camshaft
revolution.

ECM Diagnostics

Once the ECM has recognized the narrow vane (wide window) it will synchronize the engine firing order to the
timing of the CMP signal. Every 2 crankshaft revolutions it will verify that synchronization. If the ECM receives
too many or too few pulses for the number of engine revolutions, it will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code.

The engine will not operate without a functioning CMP signal. However, the ECM will attempt to determine
the cause of an invalid signal and identify it with a Diagnostic Trouble Code. CMP codes that are set will
become inactive codes if the key is turned off.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 143

ATA Code, SID 21, FMI 2

Incorrect Number of CMP Signal Transitions per Cam Revolution

Code 143 indicates the ECM has received CMP signals with the wrong number of transitions. This indicates
that the ECM has counted the voltage transitions and found less than the specified number of pulses from the
sensor. When this problem is continuous, the engine will stop running and the ECM will log an active code. If
the key is shut off, the code will become an inactive code. This code will not turn the amber ENGINE lamp on.

Possible causes for code 143: Intermittent CMP signal caused by a intermittent circuit, defective Camshaft
Position Sensor or incorrect CMP sensor to timing disk clearance.

EGES-215
204 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostic Trouble Code 144

ATA Code, SID 21, FMI 2

CMP Signal Noise Detected

Code 144 indicates that the ECM has detected voltage spikes or transitions other than the CMP signal. If this
problem is continuous, the engine could stop running and the ECM will log an active code. If the key is shut off,
the code will become inactive. This code will not turn the amber ENGINE lamp on.

Code 144 may be due to: Poor ground connections for CMP or other electronic components. Wire harness
shielding missing or incorrectly installed on the engine harness. Outside components that could induce
voltage signals.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 145

ATA Code, SID 21, FMI 12

CMP Signal Inactive while ICP has Increased

Diagnostic Trouble Code 145 indicates that the ECM does not detect a CMP signal. This code would be set if
the engine was rotating and the ECM detected a rise in ICP pressure, but did not detect a CMP signal. To
set this code the engine must be rotated long enough for the ICP pressure to increase. When this code is
set, the engine will not operate.

Possible causes for Diagnostic Trouble Code 145: VREF shorted to B+, defective CMP sensor, faulty sensor
circuitry or improper air gap between sensor and camshaft timing disk.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 612

ATA Code, SID 21, FMI 7

Incorrect ECM Installed for CMP Timing Disk

When code 612 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 612 indicates that the ECM has monitored the CMP signal and the signal is incorrect
for the programming in the ECM. This means that the ECM does not recognize the signal generated from the
timing disk and CMP sensor.

Possible causes: ECM has been accidently replaced with an incorrect ECM for the particular engine
application. For example, the timing disk for the I-6 and the V-8 (T 444E) are dissimilar, with each generating a
distinctive signal. The ECM from the V-8 (T 444E) engine will not run an I-6 engine and vice-versa. Incorrect
signal due to a defective CMP sensor or incorrect air gap between the CMP sensor and the timing disk.

Engine Speed Above Warning Level

When code 315 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message

Diagnostic Trouble Code 315 indicates that the ECM has detected an engine speed above 3000 rpm. The
most likely cause of the excessive engine speed is an unintended down shift, steep acceleration down a hill
without correct brake application or an external fuel source being ingested into the air intake system. The
engine hours and miles on the last two overspeed occurrences will be recorded in the Engine Event Log.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE ACCESS


Signal Functions

Figure 102 Diagnostics Mode Function Diagram

Diagnostic Trouble Codes

The Cruise Control switches mounted in the steering wheel can be used to cause the ECM to display the active
and inactive Diagnostic Trouble Codes through the red and amber ENGINE dash lamps. If no codes are
detected the code 111 will be flashed (indicates no codes are detected).

Fault Detection Management

The ECM does not monitor the red and amber ENGINE LAMP system for faults. There are no Diagnostic
Trouble Codes for the lamp system.

When the key switch is turned ON, the amber ENGINE lamp turns ON and stays ON, while the ECM runs
normal start-up tests, and then turns OFF. If the ECM detects a problem, the amber ENGINE lamp remains ON.

To display Diagnostic Trouble Codes without the aid of the Electronic Service Tool:

1. Set the parking brake and turn the ignition key to the ON position.

2. Press and release the CRUISE ON button and the RESUME/ACCEL button simultaneously. If no faults
are present, the cluster odometer will display NO FAULT.

3. Turning the Ignition Key OFF will take the ESC and the gauge cluster out of the Diagnostic Mode.

3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 215

NOTE – The Key-On Engine-Off Standard Test and the Output Circuit Check can be performed by
following the steps below.

Key-ON Engine-OFF Standard Test and Output Circuit Check (OCC) Procedure

A. Set park brake (required for correct ESC signal).


B. Turn ignition key to the ON position.
C. Press and release the CRUISE ON and the RESUME/ACCEL buttons simultaneously two (2)
times within three (3) seconds.
D. Standard Test will run and codes will flash.

To read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) use the following method:

A. The red ENGINE lamp will flash once to indicate the beginning of Active DTC’s.
B. The amber ENGINE lamp will flash repeatedly signaling active DTC’s.
C. Count the flashes in sequence. After each digit of code a short pause will occur. For example three
flashes and a pause would indicate number 3. Two flashes, a pause, three flashes, a pause,
and two flashes and a pause would indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code 232. If there is more than
one DTC, the red ENGINE lamp will flash once indicating the beginning of another active DTC.

NOTE – All DTC’s are three digits. Diagnostic Trouble Code 111 indicates no DTC’s have been detected.

After all active DTC’s have flashed, the red ENGINE lamp will flash twice to indicate the start of INACTIVE
DTC’s. Count the flashes from the amber ENGINE lamp. If there is more than one inactive code, the red
ENGINE lamp will flash once between each DTC. After all DTC’s have been sent, the red ENGINE lamp will
flash three times indicating END OF MESSAGE.

To repeat the DTC transmission, repeat the above procedure by depressing both Cruise Control buttons.
The ECM will transmit the stored DTC’s.

NOTE – If DTC’s are set, see Electronic Control System Diagnostics (See Table 48, page 162).

Clearing Inactive Diagnostic Trouble Codes


A. Set park brake (required for correct ESC signal).
B. Turn keyswitch to the IGN/ON position.
C. Depress & hold the CRUISE ON and RESUME/ACCEL buttons simultaneously.
D. Continue holding the Cruise buttons. Depress and release the accelerator pedal three (3) times
within a six (6) second interval.
E. Release both Cruise buttons.
F. Inactive codes cleared.

The Diagnostic Trouble Code procedure will also command other electronic controllers to perform their
diagnostic routines. Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes in other electronic controllers requires different
procedures.

ENGINE CRANK INHIBIT SYSTEM (ECI)


Signal Functions

Figure 103 Engine Crank Inhibit Function Diagram

Engine Crank Inhibit Functions

The Engine Crank Inhibit feature of the ECM is used to control the operation of the cranking motor. The ECM
prevents the cranking motor from being engaged when the engine is running. The transmission neutral
safety switch or clutch switch will prevent the cranking motor from being engaged when the transmission is
in gear or when the clutch pedal is not depressed.

Engine Crank Inhibit Relay

The engine starter relay is used to relay battery voltage to the crank motor solenoid. The relay is also
controlled by an over crank thermocouple, if so equipped.

Fault Detection / Management

The ECM does not monitor the cranking system circuits. There are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes for this system.

NOTE – After removing connector always check for damaged pins, corrosion, and loose terminals.

NOTE – Before testing starter relay or cranking circuits, verify that the batteries are fully charged. Check
battery connections at the battery, frame and starter. See S08256 for battery and starter test procedures.

3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 221

Extended Description

The engine starting system is controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM). This is to prevent cranking
motor operation while the engine is running, causing damage to the starter pinion and ring gear. Input from the
clutch switch or transmission neutral switch. These switches prevent the cranking motor from being engaged
unless the transmission is in neutral or the clutch is depressed.

Start Relay – The engine starter relay controls the current to the starter motor. Turning the ignition key to the
start position supplies current to energize the relay at terminal 85. If the engine is not running and the driveline
is not engaged the ECM terminal 46 will enable the relay by supplying a ground circuit to terminal 85 of the
relay. With the relay closed current can then pass through the relay to terminals the cranking motor solenoid.

Before troubleshooting, inspect circuit connectors for pushed back, loose or damaged (spread or bent)
terminals, or wires with cut strands etc. Wires and connections must be free of damage or corrosion. When
some connectors corrode, a light white residue will be present that must be removed. Make certain that
the batteries are fully charged. Check battery cables and grounds for clean and tight connections free of
damage. Voltage readings will not be accurate if the batteries are not fully charged.

Clutch Switch – On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the clutch switch is used to supply a signal
to the ECM that indicates the driveline is disengaged. A 12V signal on the DDS circuit indicates that the clutch
is disengaged (clutch pedal down), a 0V signal indicates that the clutch is engaged (clutch pedal up).

Neutral Switch (Allison 2000 Series Transmissions) – On vehicles equipped with Allison LCT transmissions
(2000 series), the neutral position switch is used to supply switched power to the starter relay and provides
a signal to the ECM that indicates the driveline is disengaged. On vehicles programmed for Allison AT/MT
transmissions, a 12V signal on the DDS circuit indicates that the transmission is out of gear, a 0V signal
indicates that the transmission is in gear. When the transmission is in gear no power is available to the ECI
relay.

WTEC MD W/Auto Neutral - On vehicles equipped with Allison MD World Transmission Electronically
Controlled transmission (WTEC) w/optional Auto Neutral, the crank inhibit system has an additional relay that
inhibits cranking. The additional relay is used to inhibit cranking when the transmission is in auto neutral. PIN 6
of the transmission ECU controls 12 volts to pin 86 of the crank inhibit relay. When PIN 86 receives power
and the relay closes, IGN voltage is supplied to PIN 86 of the starter relay. PIN 26 of the ECM receives 12
volts from the WTEC Auto Neutral relay whenever the transmission is either shifted in neutral or auto neutral.
Without the additional relay the Driveline Disengagement input (PIN 26) would allow cranking in auto neutral.

Electronic Control Module (ECM) – When the ECM recognizes that the engine is not running and the
driveline is not engaged the ECM will ground terminal 46. This provides the current path for the Engine
Crank Inhibit relay to close when the Start switch is engaged or the starter button is depressed. When the
ECM recognizes that the engine is running or the driveline is engaged the ECM will open terminal 46. This will
prevent the Engine Crank Inhibit relay from closing thus preventing the starter motor from engaging.

Components of the ECI System are:

• Ignition Switch
• Push Button Start Switch (optional)
• Starter Relay
• Crank Motor and Solenoid
• Batteries and Cables
• Neutral Safety Switch (with Allison 2000 Series Transmissions)

ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL SYSTEM (ECL)


Signal Functions

Figure 110 Engine Coolant Level System Function Diagram

The purpose of the Engine Coolant Level monitoring system is to signal the driver of a low coolant situation.
Depending on the programming of the control module it is also capable of shutting off the engine to prevent
damage to the engine due to low coolant level.

Coolant Level Sensor

A magnetic switch type sensor is used and located in the plastic surge tank. The magnetic switch will be
open whenever the coolant level in the tank is full.

Fault Detection / Management

The ECM continuously monitors the ECL circuit for in-range faults. When an in-range fault is detected the
Diagnostic Trouble Code 236 will be set. The diagnostic Trouble Code will not cause the warning lamp to be
turned on. If the condition is intermittent, the code will be logged as an inactive code. The ECM can not
detect opens or shorts in the ECL circuit.

EGES-215
230 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Extended Description

The Engine Coolant Level sensor is used with the optional Engine Warning And Protection feature. The
purpose of the Coolant Level system is to monitor the level of the coolant in the surge tank to protect the
engine from damage due to engine operation when the coolant level is low. Since this is an optional feature,
the system functions by programming three way warning or three way engine shutdown in the control module.

In either mode when the feature has been enabled and the engine is running, the ECM will cause the red
ENGINE lamp to illuminate, an audible warning will sound, and cause the message OIL/WATER to be
displayed on the odometer. This occurs whenever the coolant level is below the level of the sender in the surge
tank. If the system is programmed for engine shut down, the ECM will cause the engine to stop running after
the coolant level has been depleted below the coolant level sensor and the programmed warning time has
expired. If the engine stops running in this condition, it can be restarted and run again for the warning time
period, provided it is capable of restarting.

Coolant Level Sensor

The coolant level sensor uses a floating ball with a magnet and magnetic switch. With the coolant level full, the
float will rise and the magnet will pull the level switch open. This will allow for 5V to be present at pin 10 of the
ECM. If the level should go low, the switch will close and pin 10 of the ECM would go to 0V. The ECM must be
programmed for a plastic tank for this coolant level switch to operate properly.

Programming

CAUTION – Be certain that the ECM is properly programmed for the use of a plastic surge tank.

Coolant level monitoring is a customer programmable feature that may be programmed by the EST using the
customer password. Coolant level feature is operational if programmed for three way warning or three way
shutdown, however, if not programmed for three way shut down at the factory it will not be possible to enable
the shutdown feature. Contact Tech Service or your International dealer to program this feature.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 236

ATA Code, PID 111, FMI 33

ECM: Engine Coolant Level Switch Circuit Diagnostic Trouble Code

Diagnostic Trouble Code 236 will be active when the ECM detects an in-range voltage error in the ECL circuit.
Probable causes for this condition are a high resistance connection or intermittent short to ground in the circuit.
An in-range Diagnostic Trouble Code will set when the ECM detects more than 3.4V but less than 4.3V at
PIN 10 of the Black ECM connector for 2.0 seconds.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 231

Diagnostic Trouble Code 323

ATA Code, PID 111, FMI 33

ECM: Engine Coolant Below Warning/Critical Level

Diagnostic Trouble Code 323 will be active when a low coolant situation is present and the EST will indicate
COOLANT LOW. After the coolant has been restored to proper levels, Diagnostic Trouble Code 323 will remain
as an inactive code and the ECM will log the engine hours and odometer reading at time of the occurrence.

Troubleshooting

Use the EST to monitor the coolant level on the data list or to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Also prior
engine events can be retrieved from the Event Log using the EST. This will display the engine hours and
odometer reading at which the last two events happened.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE POWER SUPPLY (ECM PWR)


Circuit Functions

Figure 114 Electronic Control Module Power Supply Diagram

The Electronic Control Module requires a 12V source of power in order to perform its functions. It receives this
operating power directly from the vehicle batteries via the ECM relay contacts each time the ignition key switch
is turned to the ON position. Turning the ignition key switch ON causes the ECM to provide an internal ground
to the coil side of the ECM relay. This causes the relay to close its contacts and provide the ECM with the
power necessary to perform its various functions.

Fault Detection / Management

The ECM internally monitors battery voltage. If the ECM continuously receives less than 6.5V or more than
18V a Diagnostic Trouble Code will be set. The Diagnostic Trouble Code will not cause the Warning lamp to
be turned ON. If the condition is intermittent, the code will be logged as an inactive code. The ECM will not
operate at voltages continuously below 6.5 or above 18V.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 241

Extended Description

Refer to ECM Power and Ground System Circuit Diagram for the following discussion (See Figure 116,
page 242).

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) receives its power directly from the vehicle batteries when the ECM
power relay is energized. This allows maximum power transfer from the batteries to the ECM with a minimum
amount of power loss. The wire harness that supplies the ECM power is fused at the battery to protect it
from short circuits.

When the key switch is turned ON, ignition power from fuse in the Power Distribution Center (5 A) is supplied to
Pin 24 of the ECM through the engine dash connector. This indicates to the ECM that the ignition switch is
ON and it is time to enable the ECM power relay.

Power to the ECM Power Relay control coil (terminal 85) is provided by circuit 97CT from the battery feed
stud through the engine dash connector. The ECM will enable the ECM power relay by completing the ground
circuit (internally) for the relay at ECM pin 25.

When the ECM Power Relay is enabled power at terminal 30 from the vehicle batteries is switched directly to
the ECM from terminal 87 of the relay to pins 21, 22 and 41 of the ECM. The vehicle battery power for this relay
to switch is supplied directly from the battery through connectors 4105, 6323, 9261, and the ECM feed fuse.

ECM Diagnostics

If the ECM detects more than 18V at pins 21, 22 and 41 it will set Diagnostic Trouble Code 112. A voltage of
less than 6.5V detected by the ECM will set Diagnostic Trouble Code 113. The ECM is capable of detecting an
intermittent interruption of power or ground circuits. Diagnostic Trouble Code 626 will be set indicating an
unexpected reset has occurred.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 112

ATA Code, PID 168, FMI 35

ECM: Internal voltage power Out of Range HIGH

Diagnostic Trouble Code 112 can be caused by:

1. Defective alternator causing an alternator output voltage in excess of 18V.

2. Additional voltage provided while attempting to jump start engine or improper external battery connections
that could cause the voltage increase.

If the condition causing code 112 is intermittent, the code will change from active to inactive status. Diagnostic
Trouble Code 112 will not cause the amber ENGINE lamp to turn ON.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 113

ATA Code, PID 168, FMI 36

ECM: Internal voltage power Out of Range LOW

EGES-215
242 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostic Trouble Code 113 can be caused by consistently less than 6.5V being applied to ECM pins 21, 22
and 41. This can be caused by a defective alternator, ECM power relay, discharged batteries, and/or increased
resistance in the battery feed circuits. Diagnostic Trouble Code 113 will not turn the amber ENGINE lamp ON.
If the condition causing Diagnostic Trouble Code 113 to set is an intermittent condition when the condition is no
longer present, the code status will go from active to inactive.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 626

ATA Code, PID 254, FMI 56

ECM: Unexpected Reset Diagnostic Trouble Code

Any time power is interrupted to the ECM due to intermittent power feed circuits caused by loose or dirty
connections at the batteries or at ground cables, the ECM may "power down." When the power or ground
circuit becomes intact again the ECM will "reboot" itself. This may cause erratic engine operation. Diagnostic
Trouble Code 626 will be set anytime the flow of power is interrupted to the ECM. Turning the ignition key OFF
and then ON again causes the code to change from active to inactive status. Diagnostic Trouble Code 626 will
not cause the amber ENGINE lamp to illuminate.

Troubleshooting

If either Diagnostic Trouble Code 112 or 113 is active, see S08250 - Electrical Troubleshooting Guide -
4200/4300/4400. If Diagnostic Trouble Code 626 is active, the voltage at pins 21, 22 and 41 of the ECM should
be monitored while looking for an intermittent connection in the power feed wiring. The EST may be used to
indicate Diagnostic Trouble Codes to display the VIGN voltage that the ECM measures to Pin 24.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECT)


Signal Functions

Figure 117 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Function Diagram

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor type sensor that changes resistance when
exposed to changes in coolant temperature. When interfaced with the ECM it produces a 0 to 5V analog
signal that indicates coolant temperature.

Coolant Temperature Compensation - At coolant temperatures greater than 225 F (107 C) full load fuel
quantity is reduced by approximately 6% for each degree of temperature ( C), until engine temperature reaches
229 F (110 C). Above 229 F (110 C) fuel is reduced by 3% for each C increase in temperature.

Idle Speed - At temperatures below 158 F (70 C), low idle is incrementally increased to a maximum of 875 rpm.

Engine Warning and Protection - Optional feature when enabled will the warn driver of overheat condition
and can be programmed to shut the engine down.
Fault Detection / Management

When ECT signal voltage is detected Out of Range HIGH or Out of Range LOW the ECM will ignore the ECT
signal and assume an engine coolant temperature of -29 F (-34 C) for starting and a temperature of 180 F
(82 C) for engine running conditions. The amber ENGINE lamp will also be illuminated as long as the fault
exists with the odometer displaying the message WARN ENG.

3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 247

Extended Description

Function

The International engine control system includes an Engine Coolant Temperature sensor (ECT). The ECM
measures the Engine Coolant Temperature signal and uses this information for Coolant Temperature
Compensation and optional high temperature warning and shut down systems.

Coolant Temperature Compensation is used to protect the engine if the coolant temperature is too high. The
ECM monitors the ECT signal to determine coolant temperature. If the coolant reaches 225 F (107 C), the
ECM will reduce the fuel delivery by 6% for each degree (Celsius) of temperature increase. If the coolant
temperature increases to 229 F (110 C), fuel quantity will be reduced 3% for each degree (Celsius) of
temperature increase. Coolant Temperature Compensation can be programmed to be inoperative in certain
applications where full engine performance is required over the protection of the engine.

On engines equipped with an engine warning system, the ECM will activate the audible warning alarm and
illuminate the red ENGINE lamp and cause the message OIL/WATER to be displayed on the odometer when
the engine coolant temperature reaches 228 F (109 C).

On engines equipped with an engine shut down system, the ECM will shut the engine off when the coolant
temperature reaches 235 F (113 C). The vehicle operator may restart the engine by turning the ignition key
OFF and then restarting it. Upon restart, the ECM will allow the engine to run for an additional 30 seconds,
before shutting off the engine again.

Operation

The Engine Coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor type sensor which changes resistance when exposed
to different temperatures.

When the temperature of the coolant is decreased, the resistance of the thermistor increases which causes the
signal voltage to increase. As the temperature of the coolant is increased the resistance of the thermistor
decreases, which causes the signal voltage to decrease.

The ECT sensor is supplied a regulated 5V reference voltage from the ECM. The sensor is grounded at
terminal A through the signal return terminal at the ECM. As the coolant temperature increases or decreases,
the sensor changes resistance and provides the ECM with the coolant temperature signal voltage at the ECM.
This signal voltage is then read by the ECM to determine the temperature of the coolant.

ECM Diagnostics

With the ignition key ON, the ECM continuously monitors the ECT circuit to determine if the voltage signal is
within the expected range. If the signal voltage is higher or lower than expected the ECM will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code.

If the ECM detects a fault in the ECT circuit, the ECM will disregard the signal and default to a temperature
of 180 F (82 C) for engine running operation and -29 F (-34 C) for starting the engine. If the fault is no
longer present, it will be stored as an Inactive code and the ECM will return to normal operation using the
ECT signal for processing.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

EGES-215
248 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostic Trouble Code 114

ATA Code, PID 110, FMI 4

ECT: Out of Range LOW

When code 114 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

An Out of Range LOW code will be set if the ECM detects a voltage less than 0.127V for more than 0.1
seconds. If this Diagnostic Trouble Code is Active, the ECM will use the default value of 180 F (82 C).

Diagnostic Trouble Code 114 may be caused by a short to ground or a shorted or biased sensor.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 115

ATA Code, PID 110, FMI 3

ECT: Out of Range HIGH

When code 115 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

An Out of Range HIGH code will be set if the ECM detects a voltage greater than 4.6V for more than 0.1
seconds. If this fault is Active, the ECM will use the default value of 180 F (82 C).

Diagnostic Trouble Code 115 may be caused by an open circuit, an open sensor, or a short to another voltage
source.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 321

ATA Code, PID 110, FMI 0

Engine Coolant Temperature Above Warning Level

Diagnostic Trouble Code 321 will be set if the ECM detects engine coolant temperature above 228 F (109 C).
When this occurs, the ECM illuminates the red ENGINE lamp, sounds an audible alarm and causes the
message OIL/WATER to be displayed on the odometer (if engine protection enabled), alerting the operator
that a potential for engine damage exists.

If the temperature drops below 225 F (107 C), the code will become inactive and the ECM will return to
normal operation.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 322

ATA Code, PID 110, FMI 7

Engine Coolant Temperature Above Critical Level

Diagnostic Trouble Code 322 will be set if the ECM detects engine coolant temperature above 235 F (112.5 C).
When this occurs, the red ENGINE lamp illuminates, causing the message OIL/WATER to be displayed on the
odometer, and an audible warning (if engine protection enabled), alerting the operator that the temperature is
increasing (having set code 321) indicating a potential for engine damage. With code 322 active, the engine

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 249

will shut down. At the same time a Diagnostic Trouble Code, current engine hours and odometer reading
will be recorded in the ECM as an Engine Event.

If the temperature drops below 235 F (112.5 C), the code will become inactive and the ECM will return to
normal operation. Should the engine shut down, it can be restarted to move the vehicle to a safe place.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 325

ATA Code, PID 110, FMI 14

Power reduced or matched to cooling system performance

Diagnostic Trouble Code 325 will be set if the cooling system temperature exceeds 225 F (107 C). At this
temperature the ECM will reduce the fuel delivered to the engine. For each one Celsius degree of temperature
the fuel will be reduced 6%. This reduces the heat produced by the engine thereby reducing the burden on
the engine cooling system. It will also slow the vehicle speed encouraging the operator to downshift, thus
increasing the efficiency of the cooling system.

As the temperature is reduced the compensation level is reduced until the temperature drops below 225 F
(107 C) at which normal operation is resumed.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 316

ATA Code, PID 110, FMI 1

CAP Diagnostic Trouble Code - Unable to warm engine

Diagnostic Trouble Code 316 will only be set with engines that have CAP (Cold Ambient Protection) strategy
enabled. This code is set after the engine has run for greater than 120 minutes and has not exceeded the
following specifications for engine coolant temperature. This code can be cleared with the EST diagnostic tool.

DT 466 / DT 530

3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 259

Extended Description

Function

The Engine Oil Pressure sensor (EOP) is standard in the International engine control system. Engine
Shutdown and Protection is an option that can be ordered with the vehicle or activated at the dealer.

The ECM measures the EOP signal to monitor the oil pressure during engine operation. If the oil pressure
drops below 5.0 psi (34 kPa) @ 700 rpm or 10.0 psi (69 kPa) @ 1400 rpm or 20.0 psi (138 kPa) @ 2000 rpm,
the ECM will illuminate the red ENGINE lamp, sound an audible alarm, and cause the message OIL/WATER
to be displayed on the odometer. If the vehicle is equipped with the Engine Shutdown system and the oil
pressure drops to 2.0 psi (14 kPa) @ 700 rpm or 5.0 psi (34 kPa) @ 1400 rpm or 12.0 psi (83 kPa) @ 2000
rpm, the ECM will shut the engine off.

Operation

The Engine Oil Pressure sensor is a variable capacitance sensor located on the engine crankcase that
produces a linear analog voltage signal output. The EOP sensor is supplied 5V from ECM PIN 40 to terminal B
of the sensor. A return circuit (ground) is supplied from ECM pin 19 to terminal A of the sensor. Pressure
applied to the EOP sensor changes the capacitance of the sensor, which varies the signal voltage sent to the
ECM PIN 14. As oil pressure increases, the voltage signal increases.

ECM Diagnostics

The ECM continuously monitors the signal from the EOP sensor to ensure that the signal is within the correct
operating range. If the signal voltage is higher or lower than expected, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble
Code. If the ignition key is shut off, the code will be stored as an inactive code.

During engine operation, the ECM also monitors the engine speed signal. It compares the expected oil pressure
specification versus engine speed. If the ECM detects that the oil pressure is low for a given engine speed, the
ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code. If the pressure is lower than the "critical" level, the ECM will record a
Diagnostic Trouble Code. The ECM will automatically record this as a low oil pressure "Event" which is stored
in the ECM memory and cannot be erased using the EST. This becomes a record of operation of the engine.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 211

ATA Code, PID 100, FMI 4

Engine Oil Pressure signal Out of Range LOW

When code 211 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message

An Out Of Range LOW code will be set if the ECM detects a voltage less than 0.039V for more than 0.1
second. If this Diagnostic Trouble Code is set, the ECM will ignore the EOP signal and continue to operate
normally. Diagnostic Trouble Code 211 may be caused by an open or shorted VREF feed, open to ground signal

Diagnostic Trouble Code 225 will be set if the ECM detects an EOP signal voltage higher than expected with
the key on and the engine off (a signal that indicates 15 psi). If the ECM detects this fault, it will ignore the EOP
signal. This code most likely will be set, because of a defective EOP sensor or a biased circuit.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 313

ATA Code, PID 100, FMI 1

Engine Oil Pressure Below Warning Level

Diagnostic Trouble Code 313 indicates that the oil pressure has dropped below the warning level. The
specification for the warning level is 5.0 psi (34 kPa) @ 700 rpm or 10.0 psi (69 kPa) @ 1400 rpm or 20.0 psi
(138 kPa) @ 2000 rpm.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 313 may be caused by a defective sensor sending an incorrect signal. To confirm
this, compare actual oil pressure (with a mechanical gauge) to the reading on the data list of the EST. Low oil
pressure due to defective mechanical components will also set this code.

NOTE – It may be possible to set this code at start-up, especially if the oil was just changed, or after a
rebuild until the oil system is primed.

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR (EOT)


Signal Functions

Figure 126 Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Function Diagram

The Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor is a thermistor type sensor that has a variable resistance which
changes when exposed to different temperatures. When interfaced with the ECM, it produces a 0 to 5V
analog signal that indicates temperature.

Cranking Fuel Quantity/Timing Control - The EOT signal is used to determine the timing and quantity of fuel
required to optimize starting over all temperature conditions.

Temperature Compensation - Fuel quantity and timing is controlled throughout the total operating range
to compensate for oil viscosity changes due to temperature variations and insure that adequate torque and
power is available.

Fault Detection / Management

When EOT signal voltage is detected Out of Range HIGH or Out of Range LOW the ECM will ignore the
EOT signal and default to the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. The amber ENGINE lamp will be
illuminated as long as the fault condition exists with the odometer displaying WARN ENG. If both the EOT and
ECT sensors are not functioning, the ECM will assume a 212 F (100 C) value for engine oil temperature.

Extended Description

Function

The International engine control system includes an Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor. The ECM
monitors engine oil temperature via the EOT sensor signal to control fuel quantity and timing throughout the
operating range of the engine. The EOT signal allows the ECM to compensate for oil viscosity variations due
to temperature changes in the operating environment. This insures that adequate power and torque are
available under all operating conditions.

Operation

The Engine Oil Temperature Sensor is a thermistor type sensor that changes resistance when exposed to
the oil operating temperatures.

When the temperature of the oil is decreased the resistance of the thermistor increases which causes
the signal voltage to increase. As the temperature of the oil is increased, the resistance of the thermistor
decreases, causing the signal voltage to decrease.

The EOT sensor is supplied a regulated 5V reference signal at terminal B from the ECM. A return circuit
(ground) is supplied at terminal A from the ECM. As the oil temperature increases or decreases, the sensor
changes resistance and provides the ECM with the oil temperature signal voltage. This signal voltage is then
read by the ECM to determine the temperature of the oil.

ECM Diagnostics

With the ignition key ON, the ECM continuously monitors the EOT signal to determine if it is within expected
values. If the signal voltage is above or below the expected levels, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code.

If the ECM detects a fault, it will use the value of the Engine Coolant Temperature signal, in place of the EOT
signal. If the ECT sensor has a fault, the ECM will default to 29 F (-1.7 C) for starting, or 212 F (100 C) for
engine running operation. If the ignition key is shut off, the code will become inactive. EOT codes will cause
the ECM to illuminate the amber ENGINE lamp and cause the odometer to display the message WARN ENG.

EOT Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the
Diagnostic Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

When code 311 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message

Diagnostic Trouble Code 311 Out of Range LOW, will be set if the signal voltage was less than 0.2V for more
than 0.1 seconds. If this code is set, the ECM will default to ECT temperature or a default value of -4 F (-20 C)
for starting or 212 F (100 C) for engine running operation.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 311 may be set due to a short to ground in the signal circuit or a defective sensor.

than 0.1 seconds. If this code is set, the ECM will default to an EOT value of -4 F (-20 C) for starting or
212 F (100 C) for engine running operation.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 312 may be set due to an open signal circuit between the ECM and the sensor or a
short to a voltage source. A defective sensor may also cause code 312 to be set.

ELECTRONIC PRESSURE GOVERNOR (EPG)


Signal Functions

Figure 129 Electronic Pressure Governor Function Diagram

The Electronic Pressure Governor (EPG) is an optional feature used for closed loop control of hydraulic
pressure based on an external hydraulic pressure input and a programmable desired hydraulic pressure. This
feature is targeted for fluid delivery pumps, especially fire truck applications.

The EPG feature is active when no EPG (pressure sensor) Diagnostic Trouble Code exists, the driveline is in
its proper state (which is dependent on the type of pump used), the vehicle is stationary and its corresponding
programmable parameter is turned on.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection / Management

If the ECM detects an Out of Range HIGH or LOW condition in the EPG circuit, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code and disable EPG operation. The system will drop to idle speed with all control presets reset
to standby conditions.

The ECM also monitors hydraulic pressure, engine speed and the status of the EPG select switch. If pressure
loss is detected (also referred to as steady state error) the EPG feature is turned off and a corresponding
Diagnostic Trouble Code is set. The system will drop to idle speed with all control presets reset to standby
conditions.

Extended Description

Function

The International engine control system includes an Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT). The ECM measures
the signal from the IAT sensor to determine the temperature of the air entering the engine. The ECM uses this
data to adjust timing and fuel rate for starting in cold weather to limit smoke emissions.

Operation

The Intake Air Temperature Sensor is a thermistor type sensor that changes resistance when exposed to
different air temperatures. When the temperature of the intake air decreases, the resistance of thermistor
increases which causes the signal voltage to increase. When the air temperature increases, the resistance of
the thermistor decreases causing the signal voltage to decrease.

The IAT sensor is supplied a regulated 5V reference signal at terminal B from the ECM. A return circuit
(ground) is supplied at terminal A from the ECM. As the air temperature increases or decreases, the sensor
changes resistance and provides the ECM with the air temperature signal voltage reading.

ECM Diagnostics

With the ignition key ON, the ECM continuously monitors the IAT signal to determine if it’s within expected
values. If the signal voltage is above or below the expected levels, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code.
If the IAT sensor is not sending a correct signal, the ECM will default to 77 F (25 C).

Extended Description

Function

The International engine control system includes an Injection Control Pressure Sensor. The ECM measures
the signal from the ICP sensor to determine the Injection Control Pressure as the engine is running to modulate
the Injection Control Pressure Regulator. This is a closed loop function which means the ECM continuously
monitors and adjusts for ideal Injection Control Pressure which is determined by operating conditions such as
load, speed, and temperature.

The ECM monitors the ICP signal to determine if the performance of the hydraulic system is satisfactory.
During engine operation, if the ECM recognizes that the pressure reading is lower or higher than the value
that was commanded, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code. This strategy is also used during the On
Demand tests, commanded by the EST and referred to as the Engine Running tests.

Operation

The Injection Control Pressure Sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that is supplied with a 5V reference
voltage at terminal B from ECM terminal 40. The ICP sensor is also supplied with a return circuit (ground)
at terminal A from ECM terminal 19. The ICP sensor sends a signal from terminal C of the sensor to ECM
terminal 16.

The ICP signal voltage changes in direct proportion to the injection control pressure.

ECM Diagnostics

The ECM continuously monitors the voltage signal of the ICP sensor to determine if the signal is within an
expected range. If the signal voltage is higher or lower than expected, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble
Code. The ECM will then ignore the ICP sensor signal and will use a preset value determined by engine
operating conditions. If the ignition key is shut off, the code will become inactive.

ICP Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the
Diagnostic Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

If the ignition key is shut off, the code will become inactive. ICP codes will cause the ECM to illuminate the
amber ENGINE lamp and the odometer to display the message WARN ENG.

An Out of Range HIGH code 125 will be set by the ECM if the signal voltage is greater than 4.9V for more
than 1.0 seconds.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 125 may be set by an open return circuit (ground), short to a voltage source on the
ICP signal circuit or a defective sensor.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 332

ATA Code, PID 164, FMI 13

Diagnostic Trouble Code 332 will be set by the ECM if the signal from the ICP sensor is higher than expected
with the engine not running. If the ECM detects this fault, the ECM will ignore the ICP signal and will operate
the IPR with fixed values determined from engine operating conditions.

Code 332 may be caused by a defective sensor or a biased circuit.

INJECTOR DRIVE CIRCUITS (INJ)


Circuit Functions

Figure 139 Injector Drive Circuit Function Diagram

The high side drive outputs control the individual injector “On Time” (fuel quantity), injection timing (in relation
to TDC) and sequencing (firing order). The ECM controls each individual injector by supplying current to each
injector solenoid. Sufficient injection control pressure and a valid CMP signal must be received by the ECM
before an injector will be allowed to fire. The injector solenoids are grounded through the low side return
circuits. The ECM monitors the low side return signal for diagnostic purposes.

Fault Detection / Management

The ECM is capable of detecting, while the engine is running, individual injector open or short circuits either
to ground or power. If individual injector faults are detected while the engine is operating, the ECM can
command a single injector or a bank of injectors to turn off to enhance engine running and life as well as
provide a limp home capacity.

A number of special On-Demand service bay tests can be commanded by the operator to verify injector circuit
continuity as well as injector operation while the engine is operating in a test mode.

System Description

The International engine control system consists of a single ECM (Electronic Control Module) that provides
voltage and current required by the injectors to fuel the engine.

Fuel quantity, fuel rate and timing are all controlled by the single engine mounted ECM. The desired fuel
quantity and timing are calculated and controlled by the ECM from the input signals of various engine and
vehicle sensors as well as the limits programmed into its internal memory.

ECM Injector Diagnostics

The ECM monitors the voltage on each of the individual driver circuits and is capable of detecting an open
or shorted circuit. If the ECM detects a short to ground or multiple fault in an injector circuit, it is capable of
disabling an individual injector or a bank of three injectors allowing the engine to limp home on the remaining
three cylinders. The ECM will illuminate the amber ENGINE lamp and the odometer to display the message
WARN ENG when an injector circuit fault is present.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

NOTE – For the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes 421- 426, 431- 436, 451- 456, the last digit of each of
these Diagnostic Trouble Codes refers to the affected cylinder number. For example, DTC 421 indicates

INJECTION PRESSURE REGULATOR (IPR)


Output Functions

Figure 141 Injection Pressure Regulator Function Diagram

Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR)

The Injection Pressure Regulator is a variable position valve that controls injection control pressure. Battery
voltage is supplied to the IPR when the ignition key is in the ON position. Valve position is controlled by
switching the control circuit to ground inside the Electronic Control Module (ECM). ON / OFF time is modulated
from 0-60% depending on the desired injection control pressure.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection / Management

An open or a short to the ground control circuit can be detected by an on demand output circuit check
performed during the engine off test. The ECM is capable of detecting, while the engine is running, if desired
injection control pressure is equal to measured injection control pressure. If the measured injection control
pressure does not reasonably compare to the desired injection control pressure, the ECM ignores the
measured ICP signal and attempts to control the engine with the desired value.

NOTE – The engine will not operate with an IPR circuit that is not functioning.

296 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Extended Description

Function

The International engine control system includes an Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) valve that controls oil
pressure in the high pressure injection control system used to actuate the injectors. The IPR valve consists
of a solenoid, poppet and spool valve assembly. It is mounted in the high pressure oil pump. The ECM
regulates injection control pressure by controlling the duty cycle or ON/OFF time of the injection control
pressure solenoid. This increase or decrease of ON/OFF time positions poppet and spool valve inside the
IPR, which either maintains pressure in the injection control pressure system or vents pressure to the oil
sump via the front cover. See Section, Engine Control system Overview, in this manual for a more complete
description of the IPR operation and function.

Operation

The IPR valve is supplied with voltage from the ECM at terminal A of the IPR connector when the ignition
key is turned on. Control of the injection control system is accomplished by the ECM grounding terminal B
of the IPR valve through pin #37 of the ECM. Precise control is accomplished by varying the pulse width or
percentage of ON/OFF time of the IPR solenoid. Normal ON/OFF times varies from 8% to 60%. A high
duty cycle indicates a high amount of injection control pressure is being commanded, a low duty cycle is
an indication of less pressure being commanded.

ECM Diagnostics

The ECM monitors the Injection Control Pressure while the engine is in operation. If the actual pressure is
greater or less than the desired pressure, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code. When this occurs, the
ECM will ignore the ICP sensor and control the engine using programmed values for the IPR.

The EST is used to perform the Engine Running Standard Test which enables the ECM to vary the command
signal to the IPR and monitor the performance of the Injection Control Pressure system. If the system does not
respond within the specified parameters, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 241

ATA Code, SID 42, FMI 11

Injection Control Pressure Regulator OCC Self Test Failed

Diagnostic Trouble Code 241 is set only during the Engine Off Standard Output Circuit Check. This test
indicates the ECM has performed an output circuit test, measured voltage drop across the IPR circuit and
determined it is below or above specification.

If this Diagnostic Trouble Code is present, the engine will not run. The ECM will not illuminate the amber
ENGINE lamp if this fault is active, however, this code will be transmitted at the completion of the Output Circuit
Check, using the EST or Diagnostic Trouble Code retrieval method.

Possible causes: Poor connection of the IPR solenoid.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 331 indicates the ECM has detected injection control pressure greater than 3,675 psi
(25 MPa), which is greater than the maximum allowable working pressure.

Possible causes:

• Incorrect ICP signal due to faulty circuit or sensor


• Incorrect ICP sensor
• A malfunction in the injection control pressure system due to a sticking or blocked IPR valve

INJECTION PRESSURE REGULATION SYSTEM (IPR_SYS)


System Functions

Figure 143 Injection Control Pressure Regulation System

The Injection Control Pressure System consists of the low pressure oil lubrication system, passages in the
front cover and reservoir, high pressure oil pump, high pressure oil line as well as the high pressure oil rail
mounted on the side of the cylinder head. The injection control pressure system also includes the injectors
(and their respective sealing O-rings), the IPR valve (injection pressure regulator) and the ICP (injection control
pressure) sensor and associated wiring.

The function of this system is to develop, maintain and control the high pressure injection control pressure to
provide the force to actuate the injectors and provide fuel to the engine.

Fault Detection / Management

The Diagnostic Trouble Codes associated with this system may indicate an electrical or electronic control
system failure, but most likely will indicate a mechanical or hydraulic problem with the injection control
pressure system.

The ECM constantly monitors the injection control pressure in the system to assure the control system is
providing the proper control pressure at all times. If the oil pressure feedback provided by the ICP sensor does
not meet the ECM’s desired values, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code, illuminate the amber ENGINE
lamp and control the operation of the injection control system by calculating the correct oil pressure for all
engine operating conditions until the system is diagnosed and repaired.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 299

The ECM also monitors the injection control pressure developed while cranking the engine. If pressure does
not develop within the ECM’s expected time limit, it will set an appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code which
will aid the technician in diagnosing the no start or hard start condition.

The EST may be used by the technician to command the ECM to perform an engine running test on the
Injection Control Pressure system. The ECM controls the pressure regulator in a programmed sequence to
evaluate system performance. At the end of the test, the ECM will transmit the appropriate Diagnostic Trouble
Code(s) if system performance is unsatisfactory.

ECM Diagnostics

Diagnostic Trouble Code 333

ATA Code, PID 164, FMI 10

Injection Control Pressure above/below Desired Level

When code 333 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 333 may be set during normal engine operation through the continuous monitor
function or during the Engine Running Standard Test. It indicates that the measured pressure does not match
the pressure that the ECM expects. Code 333 will be set if the measured value is less than or greater than 362
psi (2.5 MPa) of desired injection control pressure for a period greater than 7 seconds. When this code is active,
the ECM will ignore feedback from the ICP sensor and control the IPR valve from programmed default values.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 333 is usually associated with poor engine performance. Symptoms include slow
acceleration time, low power at full load and possible engine under run.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the Diagnostic
Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

Possible Causes:

• Low oil level, contaminated or aerated engine oil.


• Trapped air in the ICP system (particularly after an injector or high pressure pump replacement).
• Defective or stuck injection pressure regulator.
• Intermittent IPR valve wiring connection. Spread IPR harness terminals at valve, poorly crimped terminals
or pulled back pins.
• Leaking injector O rings.
• Problem with ICP sensor and/or sensor circuit, incorrect sensor, system biased high or low.
• High pressure pump.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 334

ATA Code, PID 164, FMI 7

Injection Control Pressure (ICP) Unable to Reach Set Point - Poor Performance

The purpose of Diagnostic Trouble Code 334 is to determine if a rapid increase in injection control pressure
can be developed when commanded by the operator while the engine is running. Diagnostic Trouble Code 334
is an ICP system response time Diagnostic Trouble Code that compares measured injection control pressure
to desired injection control pressure and looks for a large pressure difference, 1300 psi (9 MPa) for a short
period of time (3 seconds). Its primary function is to detect injection control pressure system Diagnostic
Trouble Codes. When this code is active the ECM will ignore the ICP sensor and control IPR valve operation
from programmed default values.

An active 334 code is usually associated with poor engine performance conditions including slow acceleration
times and lower power concerns.

Possible Causes:

• Low oil level, contaminated or aerated engine oil.


• Trapped air in the ICP system particularly after an injector or high pressure pump replacement.
• Defective or stuck injection pressure regulator.
• Intermittent IPR valve wiring connection. Spread IPR harness terminals at valve, poorly crimped terminals

Diagnostic Trouble Code 331

ATA Code, PID 164, FMI 0

Injection Control Pressure (ICP) above Working System Range

When code 331 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

The purpose of Diagnostic Trouble Code 331 is to detect when the injection control pressure is above its
normal working range, 3675 psi (25 MPa). This code may indicate a mechanical injection control pressure
system problem, wiring, or ICP sensor problem. When code 331 is active the ECM ignores the ICP sensor
signal and uses estimated ICP values to operate the engine.

NOTE – If the engine still performs well when this code is set, the problem is more likely in the ICP sensor
circuit.

Possible Causes:

• Contaminated or improper grade of engine oil


• Defective or stuck injection pressure regulator (IPR) valve
• Improperly matched parts (IPR valve, ICP sensor, high pressure pump, front cover)
• Grounded IPR control wire
• Problems with ICP sensor or circuit causing signal to be biased high

Injection Control Pressure (ICP) Unable to Build Pressure During Cranking

The purpose of Diagnostic Trouble Code 335 is to determine if injection control pressure is being developed
during engine cranking. It is an ICP system check and will be set after 8 to 10 seconds of engine cranking with
less than 725 psi (5 MPa) of detected injection control pressure. The period of engine cranking time before
Diagnostic Trouble Code 335 is set varies with engine temperature. Engine cranking speed must be greater
than 130 rpm before Diagnostic Trouble Code detection can begin.

An active code 335 is normally associated with a no start condition or lengthy starting period.

Possible Causes:

• Lack of or insufficient quantity of engine oil in the crankcase


• Air in the injection control pressure system, particularly after an injector or high pressure pump replacement
• Defective or stuck injection pressure regulator.
• Leaking injector O-rings
• Loose high pressure pump gear
• Defective high pressure pump

IDLE SHUTDOWN TIMER (IST)


System Functions

Figure 144 Idle Shutdown Timer Function Diagram

The Idle Shutdown feature is an optional feature that allows the ECM to shut off the engine if an idle condition
has been detected for more than the customer specified programmed period (2 to 120 minutes). Prior to
engine shutdown the red Engine lamp illuminates and causes the message OIL/WATER to be displayed on the
odometer. The lamp will flash for 30 seconds to warn the driver of the pending shutdown. The idle time is
measured from the last clutch or break pedal transition. The engine must be out of gear for the idle shutdown
timer to be initiated. This feature can be programmed to operate only at specific ambient air temperatures to
allow prolonged engine operation in cold or hot weather operation. For PTO applications this feature can also
be programmed not to be turned on under specific load levels or when the PTO switches are on.

Fault Detection / Management

Diagnostic Trouble Code 324

The Idle Shutdown feature is internal to the ECM. All subsystems that input the idle shutdown strategy have
their own Diagnostic Trouble Code detection and management strategy (e.g. IAT temperature sensor circuit).
A Diagnostic Trouble Code will be set if the idle shutdown timer has been activated. This is not a system
Diagnostic Trouble Code. Its only purpose is to indicate to the owner, driver or technician that the idle
shutdown timer has been activated and that the engine has been shut down.

EGES-215

Diagnostic Trouble Code 324

NOTE – This Diagnostic Trouble Code does not indicate any system or circuit faults, no diagnostics
are necessary. If the (IST) programming parameters need to be changed, see the following Extended
Description.

Extended Description

The following list of parameters are essential to setting the IST function to meet the customer’s needs and
expectations. They are accessible by using the EST.

Engine Idle Shutdown Control Parameters

This group of parameters customizes the prolonged engine idle automatic shutdown feature. The purpose of
this feature is to shut down the engine after a programmable period of idle time has been exceeded. This
allows fuel conservation, a reduction of engine wear and emissions. Thirty (30.0) seconds prior to an automatic
engine shutdown, the operator will be warned via the red ENGINE lamp and causes the message OIL/WATER
message being displayed on the odometer. This lamp will begin flashing until the engine is shut down. The
operator may override the electronics at any time. After an engine shutdown occurs, the red ENGINE lamp will
stop flashing and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (324) will be recorded. The Diagnostic Trouble Code is recorded
to assist in diagnosing possible service complaints of the engine shutting down.

Currently, there are four states of electronic operation:

1. Idle Shutdown Timer –This parameter indicates to the on-board electronics if this vehicle has the Idle
Shutdown timer feature.

A. OFF - Feature is turned off at all times.


B. PTO Available - Feature will allow prolonged engine idle shutdown only when the engine is in the
low idle no load condition and PTO operation is off.
C. No Engine Load - Feature allows prolonged engine idle shutdown when the engine is in the
low idle no load condition.
D. Tamper Proof - Feature is tamper proof from operator over ride.

2. Idle Shutdown Time –This parameter indicates the length of engine idle time before the engine may be
shut down.

3. Maximum Intake Ambient Air Temperature (IAT) for Idle Shutdown – This parameter indicates the
maximum ambient intake air temperature that the on-board electronics may shut down during prolonged
idling engine. This temperature is used to circumvent the shutting down of an engine when it is running
because the air conditioning may be turned on.

4. Minimum Intake Ambient Air Temperature (IAT) for Idle Shutdown – This parameter indicates the
minimum ambient intake air temperature that the on-board electronics may shut down during prolonged
idle time. This temperature is used to circumvent engine shut down when it is running because of cold
ambient temperature.

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR (MAP)


Signal Functions

Figure 145 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Function Diagram

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that operates on a 5V
reference signal from the ECM to produce a linear analog voltage signal that indicates pressure.

Smoke Control

The MAP signal is used to control smoke by limiting fuel quantity during acceleration until a specified boost
pressure is obtained.

Dynamic Injection Timing

Optimizes injection timing for boost pressure measured.

Fault Detection / Management

A MAP signal that is detected by the ECM to be Out of Range or an incorrect value for specific conditions will

3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 311

Extended Description

Function

The International engine control system includes a manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. The ECM
measures the signal from the MAP sensor to determine intake manifold (boost) pressure. With this information,
the ECM can optimize control of fuel rate and injection timing for all engine operating conditions.

Operation

The MAP sensor is a variable capacitance sensor located on the intake manifold that produces a linear analog
voltage signal output. The MAP sensor is supplied 5V from ECM pin 40 to terminal B of the sensor. A return
circuit (ground) is supplied from ECM pin 19 to terminal A of the sensor. Pressure applied to the MAP sensor
changes the capacitance of the sensor which varies the signal voltage sent to the ECM on Pin #30. As boost
pressure increases, the voltage signal increases.

ECM Diagnostics
The ECM monitors the MAP sensor output signal for expected values. If the ECM detects the MAP voltage
signal that is greater than or less than the desired value, the ECM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code.

If an active MAP sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code is set, the ECM will ignore the MAP signal. It will operate the
engine using programmed default values. If the ignition key is turned off, the Diagnostic Trouble Code will
be stored as an Inactive code.

MAP Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or by reading the
Diagnostic Trouble Code flashes from the amber and red ENGINE lamps, see page 70.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 121

ATA Code, PID 102, FMI 8

Map Signal Out of Range HIGH

When code 121 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 121 will be set if the ECM detects a MAP signal voltage greater than 4.9V for more
than 0.1 second. When code 121 is active, the ECM will ignore the MAP signal and operate the engine
using programmed default values.

Possible Causes: Defective MAP sensor or sensor signal wire shorted to VREF or B+.

EGES-215
312 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostic Trouble Code 122

ATA Code, PID 102, FMI 11

Map Signal is Out of Range LOW

When code 122 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 122 will be set, if the ECM detects a MAP signal voltage less than 0.039V for more
than 0.1 second. When code 122 is active, the ECM will ignore the MAP signal and operate the engine
using programmed default values.

Possible causes: A defective MAP sensor or MAP sensor signal circuits may be open or shorted to ground.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 123

ATA Code, PID 102, FMI 2

Map Signal above Specified Level at Low Idle

When code 123 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message
WARN ENG.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 123 is set when the MAP signal is greater than 17 psi (115 kPa) absolute at low idle.
When code 123 is active, the ECM will ignore the MAP signal and operate the engine using programmed
default values.

Possible Causes: Restricted or plugged sensor inlet, a defective MAP sensor, or VREF shorted to a voltage
source higher than 5.5V.

ENGINE WARNING AND PROTECTION SYSTEM (EWPS)


Signal Functions

Figure 148 Engine Warning and Protection System Functions

The red ENGINE lamp is turned on when conditions are present that will cause impending damage to the
engine. The level of protection is dependent on which Engine Warning And Protection Systems (EWPS) are
turned on in the ECM. See Extended Description.

The ECM does not monitor the EWPS system for faults. Requests by the ECM to turn on the red ENGINE lamp
on the dash are sent over the Power Train Data Link. There are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes for this system.

Extended Description

Engine Warning and Protection System

This group of parameters customizes the engine warning and protection feature. The engine warning and
protection system safeguards the engine from undesirable operating conditions in order to prevent engine
damage and to prolong engine life. When a warning condition is detected, the on-board electronics will
illuminate the red ENGINE lamp.

When a critical condition is detected, the on-board electronics will shut down the engine if the engine warning
and protection system has its protection features enabled. After an engine shutdown, the operator may restart
the engine for a thirty second run time if desired.

The event logging feature will also record when an excessive (i.e., critical) engine event has occurred in both
engine hours and odometer readings. There are four states of Engine Warning and Protection.

REMOTE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR (RPS)


Signal Functions

Figure 149 RPS Function Diagram

NOTE – The RPS, the ON/OFF switch, and the circuit are supplied by the body builder.

The purpose of the remote accelerator pedal sensor (RPS) is to allow an operator to adjust engine speed
from a remote location. The RPS functions similar to the accelerator position sensor. The RPS sensor is a
potentiometer that sends a variable analog voltage signal to the ECM that indicates a desired speed. In order
for the RPS to function, the control module must be programmed for remote RPS enable. To activate the RPS
the remote variable terminal of the ECM must receive a 12V signal.

Pedal Operation

The pedal receives a 5V reference signal and a signal return from the ECM through the body builder
connections. By depressing the pedal the RPS signal voltage increases indicating a request to increase
engine speed.

Fault Detection / Management

The ECM monitors the voltage at the RPS terminal for voltage to determine if the signal is in range. A minimum
voltage level is established to verify that the circuit is not open and a maximum voltage level is established
to verify that the signal is not shorted to a voltage source. When the ECM detects a voltage Out of Range,
the pedal will be disabled and Diagnostic Trouble Code 213 for Out of Range LOW or code 214 for Out of
Range HIGH will be set.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Description
213 = RPS Signal was <0.49V. Circuit open or shorted to ground.
214 = RPS Signal was >3.91V. Sensor shorted internally or short to VBAT or VREF.

Extended Description

The RPS is used for engine speed control outside of the vehicle cab. As part of the PTO engine speed control,
connections for the RPS are supplied through the body builder’s connections.

To operate the RPS, a 5V reference voltage is supplied by the ECM from pin 5 through the body builder’s
connections circuit K97DD. Signal return for the RPS is supplied by a dedicated terminal number 6 through
the body builder’s connections circuit K97HM. The remote pedal sensor is a potentiometer that uses the 5V
reference voltage and signal return to supply an analog voltage to terminal 30 through the body builder’s
connections circuit K99F. In the idle position, the voltage signal from the RPS is low. As the pedal is depressed,
the voltage increases, indicating an increase in demand for speed from the operator.

Before the RPS is operational the ECM must first have a 12V signal at pin 36. This is supplied through the
body builder’s connections circuit K97CC to enable the operation of the RPS.

PTO speed control operation interruption will occur:

• If the remote variable circuit is opened. The engine will return to idle.
• If the brake or clutch pedal is depressed or with an automatic transmission, the transmission is placed
in gear. The engine will return to idle.
• If the ECM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) the engine will return to idle. Remote
PTO speed control will not function if the brake or VSS circuits are in fault and the RPS will not operate
if the RPS system has an active Diagnostic Trouble Code present.
• If the option has been programmed in the ECM for PTO Operation. The brake, clutch or transmission will
not interrupt the PTO speed control.

Programming

The ECM must be programmed to enable the RPS. From the programmable parameters menu under the
option PTO controls, select RPS and program for “enable.” If it is desired that the cab controls (APS brake and
clutch) do not impede the operation of the PTO speed control, select the option PTO Operation. Disable, and
select "enable." PTO mode must be programmed to remote. If the RPS is enabled and there is no pedal signal
present, the ECM will log a Diagnostic Trouble Code. The PTO maximum engine speed will allow programming
for the maximum engine speed allowed when in PTO mode.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 321

ECM Diagnostics

The ECM monitors the voltage at the RPS terminal to determine if the signal is within range. A minimum
voltage level is established to verify that the circuit is not open and a maximum voltage level is established to
verify that the signal is not shorted to a voltage source. When the ECM sees the voltage Out of Range the
pedal will be disabled and a Diagnostic Trouble Code 213 for Out of Range LOW or 214 for Out of Range HIGH
will be set. If the ignition is shut off a Diagnostic Trouble Code will be recorded as an inactive code.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 213

ATA Code, SID 29, FMI 4

Remote Throttle Signal Out of Range LOW

Diagnostic Trouble Code 213 indicates that ECM pin 30 voltage was less than 0.25V. This indicates an open or
shorted circuit for the VREF supply from ECM pin 5 or an open or shorted RPS signal circuit to pin 30 from the
RPS. It may also result from a defective (open or shorted) remote pedal sensor.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 214

ATA Code, SID 29, FMI 3

Remote Throttle Signal Out of Range HIGH

Diagnostic Trouble Code 214 indicates that ECM pin 30 voltage was greater than 4.5V. This indicates a
possible open circuit in RPS return to pin 6 or a short circuit to another voltage supply on the RPS signal
circuit. It may also result from a defective (shorted) remote pedal sensor.

Troubleshooting

The EST can be used to monitor the status of the PTO controls. Comparing the switch reading to actual
operation will indicate if the controls are operating properly. Using the menu option of programmable
parameters, the programming can verify that the ECM is programmed properly for that specific application.
Also the data list can be used to monitor the parameters that cause the interruption of PTO speed control.
Use the diagnostic code menu to read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

REMOTE PTO SPEED CONTROL (RPTO)


System Functions

Figure 152 Remote PTO Speed Control Function Diagram

The purpose of the remote power takeoff feature is to allow the control of engine speed via remote switches for
the use of ancillary engine devices such as hydraulic pumps, lift gates, etc.

Mode Selection

Variable speed or preset PTO control (up to two speeds selected) can be selected and programmed into the
module via EST.

Speed Selection

Variable PTO speed is either increased or decreased by depressing the momentary speed control switch to the
Set or Resume position. The speed at which the engine accelerates is noted as the "ramp rate" or rpm per
seconds of acceleration that the engine is allowed to accelerate. “Ramp rate" and maximum PTO speed are
programmable by using the EST.

In the preset PTO mode, the momentary speed control switch allows for two preset speeds to be selected.
By momentarily depressing the switch in the preset #1 mode the first speed is selected, by momentarily
depressing the switch in the preset #2 position a second speed can be selected. These speeds are
programmable in the ECM by using the EST.
Fault Detection / Management

Disagreements in speed selection states will be detected by the ECM and a Diagnostic Trouble Code will be
set. The most common source of RPTO problems are blown fuses to the ON/OFF circuit, an incorrectly
programmed ECM, or improper wiring of the body builder connectors and speed control switches.

Power Take Off Speed Control

The purpose of the remote power takeoff feature is to allow the control of engine speed via remote switches for
the use of ancillary engine devices such as hydraulic pumps, lift gates, etc.

Mode Selection

Variable speed or preset PTO control (up to two speeds selected) can be selected and programmed into the
module via EST.

The mode, variable and/or preset PTO must be selected and "turned on" by the EST tool for this feature to
function. On/off switches must also be installed to provide a 12V signal to the appropriate pin in the ECM. The
Remote PTO feature will be disabled when vehicle speed is detected, the clutch pedal is depressed or if the
engine is put into gear (automatic transmission only).

Power Take Off (PTO) speed control provides a method for the operator to set and maintain a regulated engine
speed, without using the accelerator pedal, for the purpose of operating auxiliary equipment. The power take
off feature has a in-cab and a remote operator interface. Depending on configuration, the operator may turn on
and activate PTO speed control while in the comfort of the cab or at the convenience of the remote interface.
If both in-cab and remote operations are enabled, the on-board electronics senses which interface is active
depending on operator actions. No active mobile PTO operation is possible when the PTO speed control
is turned on using the remote interface.

This feature also has the bump up and bump down functions. Where, the operator may bump up the rpm in 25
rpm increments when the Resume/Accel button is momentarily pressed. The operator may bump down the
rpm in 25 rpm increments when the Set/Cruise button is momentarily pressed.

Power Take Off

This parameter indicates to the on-board electronics if the vehicle has the Power Take Off speed control feature.

PTO Programmable Features


• Disable: Feature is turned off at all times.
• Remote Operation Only: Feature is enabled and may only be turned on and activated using the remote
PTO ON/OFF switches.
• In-Cab Operation Only: Feature is enabled and with use in-cab to PTO speed control while in the in-cab
operation.
• Remote and In-Cab Operation: Feature is enabled and will allow both remote and in-cab operations.
However, the remote operation takes precedence over the in-cab operations.

• Mobile Variable: The steering wheel mounted Cruise Control buttons operate in a variable state of
operation while allowing the vehicle to be mobile.

PTO In-Cab Interface

This parameter indicates to the on-board electronics if PTO speed control is on and active the operator in-cab
interfaces are ignored. These interfaces include accelerator pedal, driveline engagement signal, brake pedal
and the steering wheel mounted Cruise Control buttons.

• Enable: Continue to monitor in-cab operator interfaces.


• Disable: Ignore in-cab operator interfaces.

SPEED CONTROL COMMAND SWITCHES (SCCS)


Signal Functions

Figure 155 Cruise Control, PTO, Hand Throttle System Function Diagram

Cruise Control

The ECM will control engine speed to maintain a constant road speed with cruise control. Depressing the
set switch when the vehicle is at the desired speed with the Cruise button in the ON position activates the
cruise control. Speed is increased or decreased by depressing Accel or Cruise buttons. The cruise control is
deactivated by depressing the OFF switch, applying the brake pedal, clutch pedal, or on vehicles equipped
with automatic transmissions, by placing the transmission in neutral.

PTO Control

Engine speed can be controlled by the SCCS switches if the PTO option has been programmed into the ECM
and the vehicle is stationary. Variable as well as preset speeds are available depending on ECM programming.
The PTO function is turned ON by switching the cruise button ON. Depressing the Set/Cruise or Resume/Accel
button will increase or decrease engine speed depending on PTO programming.

Fault Detection / Management

The ECM does not monitor the SCCS system for faults. There are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes for this system.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 331

Diagnostics

If the engine does not respond to the cruise control switches, use the cab electronics diagnostic software to
monitor cruise switch input to the ESC. If the switch state does not change when the steering wheel cruise
controls are depressed, diagnose the cruise switch circuits using the S08250 - Electrical Troubleshooting
Guide - 4200/4300/4400. If the ESC is receiving the cruise switch input, use the electronic engine diagnostic
software (Master Diagnostics) to view the cruise switch state. If the switch state does not change as the switch
is depressed, verify communication exists between the ECM and the ESC (does the ECM respond to other
ESC inputs). If the switch state does change, verify that other conditions do not exist that would stop or
delay the reaction to the input. Examples include:

• RPM below minimum


• RPM above maximum
• Road speed below minimum / Road speed above maximum
• Brake pedal depressed
• Clutch / driveline disengaged

Extended Description

Cruise Control

Cruise control allows the ECM to control the engines power delivery to maintain a constant vehicle speed. The
speed set point is determined by the driver, however high and low set points are programmed in the ECM.
These are the cruise high set limit and cruise low set limit. Also the minimum engine speed at which the cruise
control can be engaged is programmed in the ECM. See Cruise Control, Body Builder Connections Circuit
Diagram (See Figure 154, page 328).

Operate cruise using the following switch functions:

Table 82
Cruise ON/OFF button: ON enables and OFF disables the Cruise Control functions.
SET/CRUISE: If the cruise is active but a speed is not set, depressing the SET switch will select
the current vehicle speed as the set speed.
If the cruise is active an a speed is set, depressing the SET switch will cause
the vehicle speed to decrease.
RESUME/ACCEL: If the cruise is ON, but has been deactivated by application of the brake or clutch
pedal, depressing the RESUME switch will cause the vehicle speed to resume
to the last set speed.
If the cruise is ON and active, depressing the RESUME switch will cause the
vehicle speed to increase.

Depressing the OFF switch, brake, clutch or placing the automatic transmission in neutral will deactivate the
cruise control. Cruise control will not be functional if the VSS signal is in fault.

PTO (engine Speed) Control

PTO speed control allows an operator to set a fixed engine speed, either in the cab or remotely. In-cab PTO
uses the same switches on the steering wheel as are used for cruise control. Remote PTO uses switches that
are installed by a body builder and are wired to the vehicle’s wiring harness at the "body builder’s connections."
There are two features that utilize the PTO speed controls. Remote Accelerator Pedal and Electronic Pressure
Governing. See RPS and EPG in this section of manual.

EGES-215
332 3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

In-Cab PTO

In-Cab PTO has three different modes of operation. These modes are selected by programming the ECM
In-Cab PTO Mode. These modes are:

1. In-Cab Preset
2. In-Cab Variable
3. In-Cab Mobile

In-Cab Preset

In-Cab Preset is selected by programming the ECM programmable parameters for In-Cab Mode to In-Cab
Preset. This allows the operator to select one of two programmed values for engine speed. To operate, turn
the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Then depress either the Set or Resume switch. This will cause the
engine speed to run at the value programmed into PTO Set Speed.

Depressing the OFF switch, brake pedal, clutch pedal, placing the automatic transmission in gear, or a signal
from the VSS (unless programmed for Mobile operation), will deactivate the PTO speed control. PTO speed
control will not be functional if the VSS or Brake signal is in fault.

In-Cab Variable

In-Cab Variable is selected by programming the ECM Programmable Parameters for In-Cab Mode to In-Cab
Variable. This option allows the driver to set the engine speed to a desired value. The control module will then
maintain this speed over varying load conditions up to the engines rated power in the selected speed range.

To enable, turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Speed may be adjusted two ways. First the operator
may adjust the engine speed with the accelerator and then depress the Set switch. Second, the operator
may depress the Resume/Accel to increase engine speed incrementally or depress the Set/Cruise switch
to decrease the engine speed.

Engine set speed will be limited to the value programmed in the ECM for Maximum PTO speed.

Depressing the OFF switch, brake pedal, clutch pedal, placing the automatic transmission in gear, or a signal
from the VSS, (unless programmed for Mobile operation), will deactivate the PTO speed control. PTO speed
control will not be functional if the VSS or Brake signal is in fault.

In-Cab Mobile

In-Cab Mobile is selected by programming the ECM programmable parameters for the In-Cab mode to In-Cab
Mobile. This allows the operator to use the engine speed control the same as In-Cab Variable, however, in this
mode the vehicle can be moving while the mode is active. See In-Cab Variable for more details. The maximum
speed of the vehicle is programmable up to 20 m.p.h. This mode is the same as In-Cab Variable, however, a
speed signal will not disable the speed control until the programmed maximum speed is exceeded.

Remote PTO

Remote PTO can be enabled by two means, Remote Preset and Remote Variable. Operation of the speed
control depends on which signal is enabled.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 333

Remote Preset

When in the preset mode, the set switch will cause the engine to run at the programmed set speed. The
resume switch will allow the engine to run at the programmed resume speed.

With the remote preset enabled, the speed is adjusted as with In-Cab preset. See In-Cab preset for more
details.

Turning the ON/OFF switch OFF, depressing the brake pedal, clutch pedal, placing the automatic transmission
in gear, or a signal from the VSS will deactivate the PTO speed control. However, the programmed option
of PTO Operation Disable will prevent the clutch and brake signals from interrupting the PTO speed control,
as well as cause the APS to be inoperative. PTO speed control will not be functional if the VSS or Brake
signal is in fault.

Remote Variable

Enabling the remote variable signal allows for the engine speed to be adjusted to the desired level. Depressing
the Resume /Accel switch will cause the engine speed to increase, depressing the Set/Cruise switch will cause
the engine speed to decrease.

With remote variable enabled the speed is adjusted as with In-Cab Variable.

Opening the switch to pin 36, depressing the ON/OFF switch to OFF, depressing the brake or clutch pedal or
placing the automatic transmission in gear, or a signal from the VSS will deactivate the PTO speed control.
However the programmed option of PTO Operation Disable will prevent the clutch and brake signals from
interrupting the PTO speed control, as well as cause the APS to be inoperative. PTO speed control will not
be functional if the VSS or Brake signal is in fault.

PTO Speed Ramp Rate

The rate at which the speed of the engine will change will depend on load conditions and on a programmed
value called PTO speed ramp rate. A higher value will cause the engine to change speed more quickly.

Troubleshooting

The EST can be used to monitor the status of the PTO controls. Comparing the data list reading to actual
operation will indicate if the controls are operating properly. Using the menu option of programmable
parameters the programming can be verified to be sure the ECM is programmed properly for the application.
Also the data list can be used to monitor the parameters that cause interruption of PTO speed control.

TWO SPEED AXLE SPEEDOMETER CIRCUIT


Signal Functions

Figure 159 Two Speed Axle Circuit Function Diagram

Two Speed Axle

The ECM is programmed with the high and low rear axle ratios. The ratios are used to calculate the
speedometer signal, depending on which mode the switch is in. The ECM uses the high ratio unless the ESC
signals the ECM that the two speed selector switch is in the low range.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection / Management

There are no ECM diagnostics for the two speed axle circuits.

Troubleshooting

1. Use the EST diagnostic tool to verify the correct ECM programming including correct rear axle ratios
(high and low):
a. If programmed correctly, go to step 2.
b. If the programming is not correct, make necessary programming corrections.

2. If the engine does not respond to the two speed axle (TSA) switch, use Cab Electronics Diagnostic
software to monitor TSA input to the ESC. If the switch state does not change when the axle switch
is depressed, diagnose the switch circuits using the S08250 - Electrical Troubleshooting Guide -
4200/4300/4400. If the ESC is receiving the TSA switch input, use the electronic engine diagnostics
software (Master Diagnostics) to view the TSA switch state. If the switch state does not change as the
switch is depressed, verify communication exists between the ECM and the ESC.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE (VREF)


Circuit Functions

Figure 160 Reference Voltage Function Diagram

The Reference Voltage circuit is a 5V ± 0.5 power supply from the ECM that provides power to the three wire
engine and vehicle sensors it also provides a benchmark or Reference Voltage for the ECM.

There are three separate Reference Voltage circuits in this system.

1. VREF B –For Chassis Sensors

2. VREF C –For Body Builder Sensors

3. VREF D –For Engine Sensors

Fault Detection / Management

There is no fault detection specifically for the VREF signal directly, but if there is a VREF circuit fault the sensor(s) in
the section of the circuit affected may set an Out of Range HIGH or LOW code. Multiple HIGH or LOW codes
are usually an indication of a VREF or in some instances a Signal Ground fault condition.

A VREF signal shorted to ground will cause the ECM to reset causing either a stumble or no start condition.

Function

The Electronic Control Module contains a regulated 5V DC voltage reference source to power engine and
vehicle sensors. The sensor signals are compared to the Voltage Reference to determine actual sensor output
signal values. These values are processed by the ECM for engine operation.

Operation

The ECM supplies VREF when the ignition key is ON at terminals 40 for the engine (gray connector) and
terminals #3 & #5 for the chassis and body builder connections (black connector).

ECM Voltage Reference Diagnostics

If multiple sensor codes are set, it is possible that the VREF circuit is open or shorted to ground, or the return
signal circuit is open. Follow troubleshooting procedures to determine if VREF circuits are at fault causing a
Diagnostic Trouble Code. The engine will not run without a valid VREF signal to the CMP sensor.

VEHICLE RETARDER (VRE)


Circuit Functions

Figure 162 Vehicle Retarder Function Diagram

On engines/vehicles equipped with an exhaust brake the VRE (Vehicle Retarder Circuit) circuits function
is to control the relay that turn the brake on and off. This circuit has many applications and can be wired
in many configurations. The applicable wiring diagram for the correct application must be used for
troubleshooting the correct circuit.

Whenever a vehicle retarder is installed, regardless of type or mode of operation, the operator is supplied
with an in-cab switch that will allow the system to be turned ON or OFF. The switch signals the operator’s
request to the Electrical System Controller (ESC) and the ESC relays that request to the Power Train Data
Link to the ECM.

Vehicle Retarder

This group of parameters customizes the retarder feature. The purpose for the Vehicle Retarder is to provide
the proper logic to enable or disable a mechanical engine/transmission brake. Several types of engine brakes
exist.

• Engine Exhaust Brakes


• Transmission Retarders
• Anti-lock Braking Devices

The purpose of these devices is to aid in the deceleration rate of the vehicle by providing additional vehicle or
engine load. This can reduce brake wear for vehicles in situations that require frequent braking. Also provided
is over-speed protection which will decrease the odds of engine damage due to excessive engine speed.

The on-board electronics provides the proper control logic necessary to determine when the vehicle retarder
should be enabled. Currently, there are five states of electronic operation; OFF, LATCHED, COAST,
TRANSMISSION LATCHED and overspeed

Vehicle Retarder

This parameter indicates to the on-board electronics the desired mode of operation for the vehicle retarder
feature.

• OFF- Feature is disabled at all times.


• Latched - The vehicle retarder will be enabled when the proper engine/vehicle conditions are satisfied.
When either cruise control or PTO speed control is on, the brake pedal must be applied before vehicle
retarder will be enabled. The vehicle retarder will remain enabled until the accelerator pedal is depressed
or low idle speed has been reached.
• Coast - The vehicle retarder will be enabled when the proper engine/vehicle conditions are satisfied. When
either the cruise control or PTO speed control is on, the brake pedal must be applied before vehicle retarder
will be enabled. The vehicle retarder will remain enabled only if the brake pedal is continually depressed.
• Transmission Latched - The vehicle retarder will be operated similarly to the LATCHED state, however
the engine is allowed to operate at a higher rpm range in this state because the transmission is the
retarding device.
• Overspeed - This protection is provided in all active vehicle retarder states. This is included so the vehicle
retarder will become enabled when rpm is too high.

EGES-215
3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 347

ECM Diagnostics

There are three components required for vehicle retarder operation:

• The operator request for vehicle retarder operation. This is accomplished with an in-cab switch that will
allow the system to be turned ON or OFF. The switch signals the operator’s request to the Electrical
System Controller (ESC) and the ESC relays that request over the Power Train Data Link to the ECM.
The operator’s request for vehicle retarder operation can be verified by viewing the condition of the
vehicle retarder dash switch with an EST. If the ECM receives the request from the ESC, the EST will
show the Switch State as ON.
• The programmable parameter "retarder mode" must be set for the desired operational mode. The
parameter enables the engine strategy which checks engine operational conditions to determine if the
vehicle retarder should be engaged. The parameter can be checked using the EST.
• The ECM PIN 47 controls the vehicle retarder relay. This is accomplished by grounding PIN 85 of the
vehicle retarder relay. This can be checked with a breakout box installed on the chassis side of the ECM.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 265

ATA Code, PID 62, FMI 11

The Output Circuit Test, performed during an ON Demand Engine Standard Test, will test the coil side of the

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS)


Signal Functions

Figure 165 Vehicle Speed Sensor Function Diagram

Transmission tailshaft speed is detected by a magnetic pickup mounted on the transmission that senses the
rotation of a 16 toothed gear installed on the rear of the transmission. The resultant AC (alternating current)
sine wave signal is received by the ECM and is utilized along with tire size and axle ratio, to calculate vehicle
speed. Calculated vehicle speed is transmitted to the instrument cluster through the Drive Train Data Link to
operate the speedometer within the instrument cluster. Calculated vehicle speed is also utilized in the control
strategies that control features such as Cruise Control, PTO operation and Road Speed Limiting.

Allison WTEC MD and 2000 Series Transmissions utilize an internal VSS sensor that sends a signal to the
transmission ECM. The transmission ECM buffers the signal and sends a square wave signal to the Engine
ECM.

Fault Detection / Management

When the ECM determines that the vehicle is operating at 0 M.P.H., the ECM performs diagnostic checking
on the VSS circuitry. A voltage signal is transmitted on the VSS circuitry by the ECM and will detect if the
return voltage is Out of Range HIGH or LOW . When a VSS Diagnostic Trouble Code condition is detected,
the ECM disables Cruise Control, PTO operation and if Road Speed Limiting is enabled, will limit engine rpm
in all gears. On vehicles equipped with Allison MD (WTEC) and 2000 Series Transmissions, no Diagnostic
Trouble Codes will be sent in the event of a VSS sensor circuit failure. Any VSS Diagnostic Trouble Codes
set with vehicles equipped with MD transmissions only diagnose the communication circuit between the
Engine ECM and the Transmission ECM.

NOTE – See Allison WTEC maintenance/diagnostic manual to diagnose any MD VSS sensor problems.

Extended Description

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is located on the transmission and sends an AC signal to the ECM. The
VSS sensor contains a permanent magnet which creates a magnetic field. The AC signal is created when
the transmission speedometer gear rotates breaking the magnetic field created by the sensor. The ECM
processes the AC signal and transmits vehicle speed data on the Drive Train Data Link and utilizes it for
various engine and vehicle control strategies. On a manual transmission, the VSS sensor is mounted at
the rear of the transmission.
