Controls - P/M,
Devices that would control the engine are the personality module, the
parameters, ECM,
& data links software which defines the horsepower and torque of an engine.
Parameters are settings in the p/m which could influence the overall
operation or performance. The ECM, which cant be repaired, acts as
the housing for the electronic circuitry. Lastly, the data links, which are
used for two way communication between the engine and other
electronic vehicle control systems can be classed in the control
category.
Outputs - Finally, outputs do work, such as the injectors providing precise fuel

problem, and gages like the tachometer or speedometer can be driven by
the ECM.

monitoring the components, the ECM controls the exact operation of the
engine.
Slide # 82
Proper battery To perform efficiently, the ECM requires proper levels of positive
input & grd battery input and ground. A personality module (p/m) creates the
engines personality. For instance, it defines whether the engine is a
C-15 or C-16. Also, it provides the rating, and performance maps.
Example: With the game of Nintendo, the main control box would be
the ECM. The game chosen to play would be the p/m. Remember,
communication with the ECM cannot be accomplished without proper
battery power and a properly programmed, correctly installed p/m.
Also, the ECM needs the parameters to be defined, and needs input
from the sensors.

Advanced During the past decade, advanced designs have played a major role in
designs, improving the operation of diesel engines. Customer needs for better
emissions driver performance, along with new standards for lower emissions, have
of sophistication required more sophisticated engine controls. Caterpillar has taken the
challenge and has met and exceeded these demands with the continuous
development of improved electronic engines.
Since 1987, thousands of Caterpillar electronic engines have been put in
service in a variety of applications.
1987 to 1990 PEEC II 3406 8TC & 2EK
Same time frame, Cat worked with Ford on PEEC II.V 5YG. This was
truck only, 8-bit, pigtails, 30 pins total.
1987 to 1992 Fat ECM was used on 3176 only. It had 40 pins. This
was used on 2YG AND 7LG serial numbers.

Engine speed, The engine speed sensor is a magnetic sensor that senses engine speed
pulse from the rotation of the fuel injection pump camshaft. The signal is
generated by placing the sensor near the rotating gear. Output of the
engine speed sensor is a voltage pulse whose frequency is dependent on
the speed of the engine. The frequency of the pulse is interpreted by the
ECM as engine speed.
Also, the engine speed sensor is provided with an operating voltage of
8 volts .4 8.0 +/- .4 volts by the ECM.

It is a sealed aluminum housing with four shock isolators to reduce
vibration. Fuel is routed through a passage in the ECM housing for
efficient operation. The fuel passage is in line with the transistor drivers

system that could potentially warn of an engine system problem or
event.
Earlier ECMs were used mainly for engine governing, but had little
additional functionality. As more functions were added, such as engine
protection monitoring, PTO control, and a host of various other
programmable parameters, the ECM and the P/M software had to
become faster and more complex.

the Check Engine Lamp and the Warning Lamp will flash.
Shutdown Mode will cause the warning and derate to take place. In
addition, if time limit conditions are met for very low oil pressure, very
high coolant temperature, or very low coolant level the engine will

Fuel delivery, Fuel delivery = duration time of the voltage to the solenoid.
Injection timing &
Injection pressure Injection pressure is controlled with HEUI only.
Injection timing = when the solenoid is first energized, relative to the
crankshaft position (degrees of rotation before top dead center).

sends a pulsed 95 to 105 VDC to the solenoid in order to energize the
solenoid. By controlling the start and end of the applied voltage, the
ECM can control injection timing. By controlling the duration of the
applied voltage, the ECM can control the volume of fuel injected.
Amount of fuel The ECM sets certain limits on the amount of fuel that can be injected.

Injection timing depends on three factors: the engine speed (rpm), the
Timing 3 factors -
engine speed,
engine load and other engine data. The ECM determines the top center
load, other data position of cylinder number 1 from the signal that is provided by the
crankshaft position sensor. The ECM determines when the fuel injection

the signal to the electronic unit injector at the correct time.

processor
circuitry must be larger, thus the 32 bit 24 MHz processor with dual 70

As briefly discussed earlier, communication between the engine
Data Link electronics and vehicle electronics is a must. The data link is an
electrical connection for communication with other onboard
microprocessor based devices that use the data link. These devices are
compatible with SAE Standards. These devices include trip recorders,
electronic dashboards and maintenance systems. The data link is also
the medium for communication that is used for programming and
troubleshooting with the Caterpillar electronic service tool.

Features This is a list of features with the ADEM 2000. (Specific to truck).
Vehicle speed limiting sets the maximum speed of the truck. VSL cuts
VSL off the fuel to the injectors when the truck exceeds the programmed
speed.
Engine monitoring Engine monitoring provides built-in engine monitoring that can detect
abnormal oil pressure, high intake manifold air temperature, high
coolant temperature, and low coolant level (optional).
Soft cruise
Cruise control/soft cruise - the soft cruise speed control feature provides
a small soft window centered around the cruise set speed. With soft
cruise on, the ECM will modulate fuel delivery for a more efficient,
smoother cruise control. This reduces the abrupt on/off fuel cycling. In
addition, it allows the truck to increase speed slightly above the cruise
set speed while going down hill (no load) to warm-up the
36 (n-1) = 36 15 = 7195 x 10 25
ECM fan control - The ECM may control the cooling fan through a
relay that is installed by the OEM. The ECM controls the relay that is
based on coolant temperature, inlet manifold air temperature, and boost
pressure. The relay can also be controlled by the ECM when the
following switches are installed by the OEM:air conditioning high
pressure switch, PTO ON/OFF, manual fan override switch and retarder
solenoid.

Focus - harness & This will be one of our main points of focus in electronics. Most of the
connectors problems occur within the harness and the connectors. Usually, the first
statement in the troubleshooting guide is to check the connectors and
harness (10 lb. pull test, check for corrosion, etc.). This is a very
important step, because if overlooked, troubleshooting hours can be
wasted.

Intake air sensor - Intake air - Inlet manifold temperature is used for the cooling fan driver
cooling fan driver and Engine Monitoring. The inlet manifold temperature sensor is used
& EMS
in order to warn the driver of an excessive inlet manifold air
temperature. When Engine Monitoring has been programmed to derate
the engine, the inlet manifold temperature sensor will not cause the
following events: derate and shutdown.
Before a diagnostic code is logged into the ECM, the inlet manifold air
temperature must exceed the temperatures that are indicated for thirty
seconds. A diagnostic code for the High Inlet Manifold Temperature is
triggered at 91C (195F). A diagnostic code for the Very High Inlet
Manifold Temperature is triggered at 110C (230F). Unlike the
diagnostic codes that are associated with Engine Monitoring, the codes
that are associated with the inlet manifold air temperature are still
available when Engine Monitoring is "OFF". The Warning Lamp is also
turned on if Engine Monitoring is programmed to Warning, Derate, or
Shutdown.
Fuel Temp - fuel Fuel - The Fuel Temperature is monitored in order to adjust the
rate, power calculations for the fuel rate. The fuel temperature is also monitored for
correction a power correction when the fuel temperatures exceed 30C (86F) in
order to provide constant power. The maximum power correction is
achieved at 70C (158F). A fuel temperature that exceeds 90C
(194F) for ten minutes will cause a diagnostic code to be logged.
Pressure sensors:
Oil - located in oil Oil - The oil pressure sensor is an absolute pressure sensor that
gallery measures oil pressure in the oil gallery. The oil pressure is
communicated over the data link and the oil pressure is displayed by the
electronic service tool. The ECM uses the sensor input only if the
parameter for Engine Monitoring is programmed to Warning, Derate, or
Shutdown. The sensor is supplied by the ECM with 5 VDC.

supplied with + 5 VDC by the ECM.
IAP sensor - IAP sensor - The injection actuation pressure sensor is a sensor that
measures hydraulic oil pressure. The sensor also sends a signal to the
ECM.
Active Sensors:
Slide # 108
Circuitry in sensor Active sensors have the circuitry or brains inside the sensor. They
require power from the ECM to function properly. In order to check an
active sensor it must be powered. Active sensors are designed with
three or four wires. They require a break-out Tee for proper
troubleshooting.

the engine ground stud. This could result in a noisy ground
connection.
If <5% or >95% duty cycle, a 91-13 code will appear (throttle sensor
calibration). The engine will try to go to low idle. If loaded, the engine
will die. It is possble to restart without the proper signal, but the engine
will only idle. This is one of the reasons speed burps occur.
For example: Assume 18% duty cycle at low idle and 97% at high idle.
The engine will work fine except at the high end. As you exceed 95%,
the engine will drop to low idle. If the pedal is let up a bit, the engine is
fine.

24v, additional sensors, which require 12 volts for truck, or 24 volts for some industrial
linkage, ranges
applications. There is additional linkage/s used to connect the sensor to
the accelerator pedal. The ECM interprets the signal as duty cycle (%
of throttle). For 3176 and PEEC engines the low idle range must be
between 15 20%, and high idle between 80 85%. If the percent goes
below 5% or above 95% a throttle position calibration fault will be
triggered. The fault will be active and logged.
Slide # 115
Pedal mounted, no 1990 through 1993 the pedal mounted throttle position sensor was
linkage, PWM, introduced. It received 12 supply volts from the ECM, and was a 3 wire
ranges
sensor. (Not painted). This pedal mounted sensor eliminated the
linkage that caused some problems as previously mentioned. Once
again, it is a PWM signal and utilizes a heavy duty connector. A service
tool such as, ET or ECAP can be used to calibrate the sensor. For the
pedal mounted sensor, the duty cycle must be between 10 22% at low
idle, and 75 90% at high idle. The wider range helps increase
reliability.
Slide # 116
93 TPS 8v 3 wire In 1993 the throttle position sensor became an 8 volt, 3 wire, painted
component. Also, the DT connector changed from sockets to pins.
Again, below 5% and above 95% duty cycle a fault will be triggered.
The sensor was versatile in that it was used for several applications. For
strength and accuracy an active electronic circuitry is used.

This diagram shows how the throttle position sensor circuit on a 3512
PEEC engine operates. The sensors terminals are connected as follows:
- B is connected to battery ground.
+ B is connected to battery positive.
D is used for droop adjustment on generator sets only.
S provides a PWM signal to the PEEC III ECM.
A 1Kohm rotarty potentiometer, which may be on a remote control
panel, is connected between terminals #1 and #3 with the wiper
connected to terminal #2. As the knob for the potentiometer is turned,
the TPS varies the PWM signal that it sends to the ECM.
In response to the PWM signal, the ECM supplies a 0 to 4 volt signal to
the MUI interface module. The MUI interface module sends a 4 to 20
mA signal to the Woodward Actuator, typically an EG10P.
Depending on the signal from the MUI interface module, the Woodward
Actuator uses engine oil pressure to move the rack control rod on one bank of the engine to
provide more or less fuel. This rack control rod is linked to another rack control rod on the other
bank of the engine. As the rack control rods rotate, they move the rack bar at each unit injector
in either the fuel on or off direction.
As the rack control rod moves, the rack positon sensor moves with it. The output from the rack
position sensor is strengthened by the buffer and sent to the ECM to complete the feedback loop.
The 0-4 volt signal sent by the ECM is referred to as desired rack position and the signal
received by the ECM from the rack position sensor is actual rack postion when viewed in the
service tool status screens.
This entire circuit is eliminated as we progressed to the 3512B engines with electronic unit
injectors. Here, the throttle position sensor would simply provide a PWM signal to the ADEM II
ECM. The ECM would control the duration, or on-time for the electronic unit injectors. There
would be no need for the MUI interface module, the Woodward actuator, the rack linkage, the
rack position sensor, or the buffer.

A problem seen with the 111-3794 coolant level sensor was when it
became coated with Extended Life Coolant (ELC), it would no longer
sense coolant level. For this reason, in March of 2001 it was replaced
by the 165-6634.
Slide # 123
Speed/Timing - Shown here (top) is the brass 12.5 v speed/timing sensor used solely
pulsed signal with the 3176 Fat ECM, and the aluminum alloy 13.2v speed/timing
sensor used with ADEM II ECM engines. The engine speed/timing
sensor is used to determine both engine speed and fuel injection timing.
The sensor detects this information from a gear/wheel attached to the
camshaft. The timing calibration is performed by connecting a
magnetic sensor. The sensor is connected through the vehicle speed
circuit, sensing motion of the crankshaft.
Slide # 124
Caterpillar has utilized both active and passive speed & speed/timing
sensors.
Slide # 125
Unique tooth A unique tooth pattern on the camshaft drive gear allows the ECM to
pattern determine camshaft position and engine speed. The cam gear has
twenty four teeth. Twenty one teeth are large, and three are small.
Once the ECM locates the number one cylinder the firing sequence is
established.
Slide # 126
Durable The engine speed timing sensor has a heavy hex-shaped aluminum body
for durability. It utilizes a straight thread o-ring mount for a leak-free
engine. Additionally, a Deutsch connector is used for trouble-free
operation.
Slide # 127
Timing reference Here is a picture of the camshaft/Timing gear. Attached to the camshaft
gear, sensor gear is the timing reference gear with the special teeth from which the
sends pulsed
signal, ECM
speed/timing signal is derived. The sensor sends a pulsed signal to the
counts pulses ECM as each tooth passes. The ECM counts the pulses to determine
the engine speed, memorizes the pattern of the pulses and compares that
pattern to a standard, in order to determine crankshaft position.
A slip-head plunger on one end of the sensor is used for installation
purposes. The slip-head must be out for proper speed/timing signal
accuracy.
NOTE: If the sensor is removed and the slip-head was retracted, it
is important the slip-head is pulled out, and the sensor installed on
a wheel tooth. Damage could occur to the slip-head or engine if this
procedure is not followed.

2 speed/timing C-10 shown here, and the 3176 look the same, except the housing is
sensors more rounded. If there is only one sensor (truck), it is the one to the left
in this view. It is also the primary in a non-truck application. The other
sensor would act as a backup. There are different fault codes for each.
The reason for only one on truck is that ADEM II has 2 digital inputs
that can read this type of signal. On truck, one of the inputs is used for
vehicle speed. Industrial and other non-truck applications dont need the
vehicle speed signal, so they can have a redundant sensor. The sensors
are all the same part number. The timing calibration process re-
calibrates both of them.
Slide # 130
Normal operation Dual speed/timing sensors are used with ADEM 2000. During normal
crankshaft sensor, engine operation the speed/timing signal is read from the crank sensor.
camshaft as a
backup
If the signal for the Crankshaft Position Sensor is intermittent or lost,
the ECM will use the Camshaft Position Sensor to determine engine
speed. The Check Engine Lamp will not be illuminated for this code
unless the code has been Active for 10 hours. The code will be Logged.
There may be a slight change in engine response when the ECM is
switched to the Camshaft Position Sensor.
Camshaft sensor If the signal for the Camshaft Position Sensor is intermittent or lost, the
engine may misfire. Also, the engine may run rough during starting.
The Check Engine Lamp will not be illuminated for this code unless the
code has been Active for 10 hours. The code will be Logged.
There should not be a noticeable change in engine response unless the
signal for the Crankshaft Position Sensor is lost. The engine will shut
down if both the signal for the camshaft and the signal for the
crankshaft are lost.
Slide # 131

bracket included.
Slide # 132
Unique tooth A unique tooth pattern on the cam gear enables the sensors to pickup the
pattern speed timing signal. There are 24 teeth, 15 degrees apart with one
additional tooth on the gear. The two sensors are 22.5 degrees apart.
Slide # 133
Electromagnetic, OEMs use several different brands of VSSs. The vehicle speed sensor

measures vehicle speed from the rotation of the gear teeth that are in the
drive train (transmission) of the vehicle. Typically, the gear has 16
teeth.
Slide # 134
Cats guidelines Caterpillar Electronic Troubleshooting Guides specify that the vehicle
speed sensors be 100 1500 Ohm capability. Some sensor resistance is
found to be as much as 5000 Ohms.
Slide # 135
False signals There are several reasons for false vehicle speed signals. Some of them
include:
Slide # 136
Read the status screens and start taking the circuit apart to see what
happens. If the sensor is unhooked, and the noise is still there (vehicle
speed), it may be the wires causing the problem. Furthermore,
disconnect the signal line at the ECM to ensure the vehicle speed reads
0 with the signal wire removed.

First a look at This graph indicates the fuel temperature correction for mechanical and

not have the fuel temperature compensation capability. However, most
electronic engines do have fuel compensation capability. (3126,
3126B/E, C-9 do not have fuel temperature compensation because they
do not have fuel temperature sensors).
Electronic fuel
correction With fuel temperature below 86 F fuel compensation (delivery) is
86 F normal. As the temperature rises above 86 F, fuel delivery is
increased, and therefore maintains normal horsepower. When the
158 F
temperature rises above 158 F, the slope of fuel delivery starts to
194 F, not part of diminish. At 194 F the fuel compensation is turned off and a
EMS diagnostic code is triggered.
This condition indicates that the fuel temperature is above 194F with
the engine speed above 1000 rpm. The diagnostic code and this sensor
are not part of "Engine Monitoring". High fuel temperature diagnostic
code requires a Customer Password in order to be cleared.
The operator may feel a slight reduction in power due to the loss of Fuel
Temperature power correction.
This diagnostic code indicates an excessive fuel temperature, and does
not indicate a problem with the ECM or the fuel temperature sensor.

The oil pressure sensor is an absolute pressure sensor that measures oil
pressure in the oil gallery. Oil pressure is communicated over the data
link and the oil pressure is displayed by the electronic service tool. The
ECM uses the sensor input only if the parameter for Engine Monitoring
is programmed to Warning, Derate, or Shutdown. The oil pressure
