 Function

Function
When the truck is being driven, the control sys-
tem (here called ETC) regulates the temperature M 15
of the air coming into the cab. The driver sets the TEMP
10 E 20
desired temperature using the ordinary tempera- 5 25
ture control. 1/min
0 x100 30

The system uses an electrically-controlled valve

to regulate water flow through the heat exchang-
er. In order to prevent temperature variations
during changes in engine speed, an engine speed
signal from the alternator is used. The tempera-
ture sensor used by the system is immediately

18_2366
above and behind the heat exchanger.
In order to conduct fault diagnosis on the sys-
tem, there is a lamp on the instrument panel for
reading flashing codes.

When the ignition key is switched on, the diag-

nostics lamp for the ETC should light for 1
second and then go out. This is to show that the
control unit is working properly and that the R: 10k

lamp is intact.

If the lamp does not light, press the button next

to it with the ignition key on. If the lamp still Temperature sensor
does not light, the fault is in the lamp or its
power supply. If it does light, check the fuse
for the control unit. Also check that there is a
voltage on the power supply, pin 1, and the
ignition key, pin 3. Also carry out tests for fault
code 9. All resistances should be measured
with the ignition key switched off.

Auxiliary heater/Short-stop heater
Webasto auxiliary heater
If the trucks starter key is not set to on, the
auxiliary heater will run for as long as the driv-
er requires. If the truck is driven with the aux-
iliary heater running, the required temperature
is set in the normal way, using the temperature
control. ETC switches off the auxiliary heater
when temperature has increased to 20 C above
the temperature set on the control. Temperature
then slowly drops to the temperature set.
When the truck is stopped and power switched
off, the ETC will restart the auxiliary heater if
it is still required.
The driver can switch the auxiliary heater off at
any time using the ordinary control.
The ETC system prevents the auxiliary heater
from boiling by never closing the water valve
when it is running. This means that the driver
does not have to set the heater controls to max.
when using the auxiliary heater.
4 Scania CV AB 1995
Short-stop heater
It is the ETC which controls air temperature,
even when using the short-stop heater. The dri-
ver sets the desired temperature on the control
and presses the short-stop heater button. The
system runs for as long as the air in the air duct
is 20 C warmer than the temperature set using
the control, but for a maximum of 2 hours. The
ignition key is switched on to shut down the
short-stop heater. In vehicles manufactured
from March 1996, the heater is switched off
when the engine starts.
The coolant valve must be slightly open to
ensure cooling of the short-stop heater pump. If
the heat requirement is small, the temperature
might be slightly too high to begin with as the
system does not permit the valve to close fully.

 Fault diagnosis / A/C

Fault diagnosis
In order to facilitate fault diagnosis, it is possi-
ble to see what faults the system has itself dis-
covered using flashing codes on a lamp.
In order to read fault codes on the lamp, power
is switched on. Wait until the lamp goes out and
then press the button next to the lamp for about
1 second. If the system has stored any fault
codes, these will be flashed. There is about 1
flash per second. There is a break of about 4.5
seconds between each fault code.
Example, fault code 5 means that there are 5

18_2367
flashes.
If voltage supply to the control unit is below
18 V, no fault codes are stored.

A/C
The A/C is operated manually using a switch.
When the A/C is used, set temperature is main-
3
tained by the ETC when necessary. Capillary
tube 1 and evaporator 4 stop the compressor
when there is too much ice in the fins. If the A/C 4
gives a lower temperature than the one set, wa- 1
ter valve 2 dilutes with heat up to required level.
Fan control and distribution of air are manual.
The A/C can also dehumidify the cab air if it is
used together with the heating 3. Dehumidifica-
2
tion takes place in the evaporator 4 where the
moisture is condensed. The dry cold air is then
heated by the heater unit 3. This provides warm
dry air which effectively forces moisture out of
100274

the cab.

Fault code list

Fault code 1 Fault: It is possible to set desired valve opening using the temperature
control, but automatic temperature control does not work.

Cause: Short circuit or open circuit in temperature sensor.

Comment: Input signal from temperature sensor has dropped below 0.2 V
or risen above about 4.5 V for 5 seconds. These values corres-
pond to a resistance in the temperature sensor of about 150
and 9.0 k.
Normal resistance range: 268 - 8.5 k (+80 C - -40 C)

Action: Measure resistance between pins 11 and 7. With air tempera-

ture around the sensor at +20 C, resistance should be about
2.1 k. Higher temperature gives lower resistance and vice
versa. Resistance must not be outside the normal resistance
range given above. Voltage on pin 11 should be about 2.3 V at
+20 C. Voltage on pin 9 should be about 4.5 V - 5.5 V. See
fault code 10.

Fault code 2 Fault: Temperature is continuously regulated toward +50 C.

Cause: Short circuit or open circuit in temperature control.

Comment: Input signal from temperature control has dropped below

about 0.15 V or risen above about 5.4 V for 3 seconds. Normal
voltage: 0.25 V - 5.0 V.

Action: Measure voltage on pin 4. With the temperature control fully

closed (cold setting), voltage should be about 0.3 V. If the con-
trol is turned to the warmer range, voltage should increase to
about 5 V. Voltage on pin 9 should be about 4.5 V - 5.5 V. See
fault code 10.

Fault code 3 Fault: Full heat all the time.

Cause: Signal for valve resetting potentiometer outside tolerance.

Comment: Input signal from potentiometer in water valve has been below
about 0.2 V or above about 5.2 V for 3 seconds. Normal volt-
age: 0.2 V - 5.2 V.

Action: Measure voltage on pin 5. With the temperature control fully

closed (cold setting), voltage should be about 0.5 V. If the con-
trol is turned toward the warmer range, voltage should increase
to about 4.1 V. This may vary. However, voltage should not be
outside the normal range given above. Voltage on pin 9 should
be about 4.5 - 5.5 V. See fault code 10.

 Fault code list

Fault code 4 Fault: It is not possible to set desired temperature. The valve is stuck
in position.
Cause: Short circuit on drive to water valve.
Comment: The current for driving the valve, pins 12 and 13, has exceeded
1.8 A on four consecutive occasions.
Action: Measure resistance between pins 12 and 13. Normal resistance
is about 280 . Resistance should not be lower than about
200 . If the valve is in one of its end positions, resistance is
infinite. Also measure resistance from pins 12 and 13 to earth,
supply voltage, pin 1 pin 3 on the starter key. These should not
be interconnected.
Fault code 5 Fault: It is not possible to set desired temperature. The valve is stuck
in position.
Cause: Break in drive to valve or mechanical fault in valve.
Comment: It has not been possible to control the valve. The potentiometer
in the valve has shown the same position for 8 seconds, despite
the control unit attempting to move the valve.
Action: Start by measuring in the same way as in fault code 3. If volt-
age is the same, measure voltage between pin 12 and pin 13.
This should be about 24 V. If not, there may be a fault in the
control unit. Try moving the valve in both directions by turning
the temperature control. Voltage should then change polarity.
Measure in the same way between pins 4 and 6 in the connector
to the valve. If there is voltage to the pins, there is probably a
fault in the valve.
Fault code 6 Fault: Short-stop heater does not start.
Cause: Break in cable to short-stop heater.
Comment: Before starting the short-stop heater, voltage on pin 14 has ex-
ceeded 6.6 V.
Action: Measure voltage on pin 14 with only the starter key on. Volt-
age should be below 2 V if the short-stop heater is connected.
If it is higher, there is a break in the wiring. If there is no con-
nection to pin 14, the control unit will send about 15 V to the
pin. When the output is on, voltage should be about 24 V.

Fault code list

Fault code 7 Fault: Auxiliary heater or short-stop heater not starting.

Cause: Short circuit in cable to auxiliary heater or short-stop heater.

Comment: Current from pin 14 has exceeded 5 A, meaning that the short-
circuit protector in the control unit has switched off the output.
If the control unit senses that the voltage on the output is below
17 V, despite the fact that the output should be active, it
switches off the output and starts it 1 second later. This is re-
peated 5 times. If voltage is still below 17 V, the fault code is
generated and the output isolated.

Action: Auxiliary heater: Measure resistance between pin 14 and

earth. Resistance should be extremely high. If resistance is
<20 there is a fault in the wiring.
Short-stop heater: The water pump connected to the output
has very low resistance, making fault diagnosis more difficult.
If the coolant pump is disconnected, resistance between pin 14
and earth should be >100 . The actual coolant pump can be
down to about 2.5 . Test the heater separately.

Fault code 9 Fault: It is not possible to read flashing codes on the diagnostic lamp.
The lamp does not come on for about 1 second when power is
switched on.

Cause: Short circuit in diagnostic cable for flashing codes.

Comment: Current through pin 16 has exceeded 1.8 A.

Action: Measure resistance from pin 16 to supply voltage, pin 1, and

starter key, pin 3. There should not normally be any connection
to pin 1. Resistance to pin 3 should be about 80 . Measure
voltage to pin 16 with starter key on. This should normally be
24 V. If the diagnostic button is pressed, voltage should be
0 V. When the starter key is switched on, the diagnostic lamp
should light for about 1 second to check that it is intact.

 Fault code list

Fault code 10 Fault: There is variation in temperature during driving where engine
speed varies greatly.

Cause: No rpm signal.

Comment: Temperature has risen by more than 40 degrees with the igni-
tion key set to on, no auxiliary heater is switched on and there
is no engine speed.

Action: Measure voltage, with the instrument set for alternating volt-
age, on pin 6 while the engine is running. Voltage should be
> 10 V. However, this may vary.

Fault code 11 Fault: Full heat all the time.

Cause: Incorrect sensor voltage.

Comment: Supply voltage to sensors has dropped below 4.2 V or risen

above 5.7 V.

Action: Measure voltage on pin 9. This should be about 4.5 V - 5.5 V.

Resistance from pin 9 to earth should be about 1 k.
