Caterpillar Engine Electronics


Lesson Plan 13 - Electronic Component Summary

Objectives:
The students will be able to recall which electronic components are needed to for an
engine to start and run.
The students will be able to associate possible engine malfunctions with the
electronic component most likely to cause the given symptoms.
The students will sort all electrical components into three catergories: input, output,
and control.
The student will state which components are found on or off the engine.

Literature Needed:
PowerPoint Slides

Hardware Needed:
Whiteboard and markers
Projector and smartboard

Time Required:
1.5 Hours

Tasks Required by Instructor to Meet Objectives:


1. Shut off the projector, and describe the following scenario to the class:
Imagine that a brand new, electronically controlled engine has just been delivered from
the factory. It is sitting on a shipping stand here in the classrooom. We know that the
engine will run -- it passed the test cell at the factory. What would we need in order to
start it up here in the classroom?
Ask the students to brainstorm a list of items. Note the responses on the board. They
should include the following:
fuel
coolant
oil
starter
battery power

Yesterday, we discussed a wide variety of electronic components. It can


seem overwhelming when we look at all the different components that
have been used over the years, on all the different engines, and on the
different applications of those engines. Today, we will simplify those
components as far as troubleshooting is concerned. There are really only
twenty five types of components, and they all can be sorted into three
main categories.
After summarizing the electronic components, we will have two lab
sessions, where you will explore the functions and uses of diagnostic
tooling. We will use ECAP (Electronic Control Analyzer and
Programmer), Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET), a VOM, and a
test lamp. Yes, there is at least one troubleshooting procedure that still
requires the use of a test lamp.
The first lab will be conducted in the classroom, using engine
simulators. This will be followed by a lab in the shop area, with
runnable engines.
The engines are all in normal operating order. You will be able to
perform a variety of tests to see how a normal engine should respond.
Tomorrow afternoon, you will have another lab on the same engines. In
tomorrows lab, the engines will have some actual problems for you to
troubleshoot.

Imagine that a brand new, electronically controlled engine has just been
delivered from the factory. It is sitting on a shipping stand here in the
classrooom. We know that the engine will run -- it passed the test cell at
the factory. What would we need in order to start it up here in the
classroom?

These are basic to any engine, electronic or mechanical. Weve always


needed these things. You are already comfortable with troubleshooting
problems related to the items on the list.

People often see an ECM on the side of the engine, and panic. If they
cannot hook up an electronic service tool and find a code, they are lost
as far as troubleshooting is concerned. Remember that the items we just
listed are necessary for any engine.

Earlier in the week, we discussed the various engines that Caterpillar


has built over the years, sorting them into categories according to their
fuel system. What were the categories? (PEEC, MEUI, HEUI)

Instructor Note: Start the projector, and go to slide #153. Distribute the
handout for the summary of the twenty five electronic components.

systems engines, they can be sorted according to their fuel system into broad
categories for ease of troubleshooting. We will use these three
categories in our summary of electronic components.

Meaning of dead? All engines, regardless of the type of fuel system must have the items
that are listed at the left side of the chart.
The statement, The engine is dead, can have different meanings to
different people.
Is is completely dead, such that there is no clicking sound when the
starter switch is engaged?
Does the starter solenoid click once, followed by silence?
Is there a click, click, click sound?
Does the starter crank the engine slowly, and then stop?
Does the engine crank at normal starting speed, but will not start?

Each of these symptoms is a clue to the problem. With the possible


exception of the last bulleted item above, none of these are symptoms of
an electronic problem.

Ask the class the following questions:


Question: What could cause the engine to be completely dead (no
clicking sound when the starter switch is turned to the start position?
Answer: Either a completely dead battery, or an open connection
somewhere in the starting circuit (bad starter switch, open fuse relay or
disconnect, broken or disconnected wire or cable).

Question: What could cause the starter solenoid to click once, followed
by silence?
Answer: A bad solenoid or starter, a nearly dead battery, or a locked
engine (hydraulically or mechanically locked up).

Question: What could cause a click, click, click sound?


Answer: A bad solenoid or starter, or a nearly dead battery.

Question: What could cause the engine to crank slowly, and then stop?
Answer: A low battery.

Question: What could cause the engine to crank at normal starting


speed, yet not start?
Answer: Possibilities include lack of fuel, lack of air, mechanical
damage to the engine wherein it has no compression, or a problem with
an electronic component. In this situation, there is not a problem with
the battery or starting circuit. All engines must have a complete circuit
with the battery.

Regardless of whether the engine has a PEEC, EUI, or HEUI fuel


system, it must have:

A functional ECM: The way to check the ECM is to rule out all other
ECM
causes. However, in nearly every case, if you can communicate with the
ECM, the ECM is not defective.

A functional Personality Module: People sometimes dont realize that


P/M a new ECM will not communicate until it has been FLASHed with
software (or had a chip installed in the older ECMs). Also, like any
other computer file, the personality module can be corrupted . Be
careful to select the correct file to be Flashed in an ECM. In nearly
every case, if the service tool can communicate with the ECM, the
Personality Module is not defective.

SEGQ4031 - 226 - Slide/Text Reference

Properly configured parameters: Some parameters will allow the


engine to crank, but not start. Some will even limit or prevent cranking.

Parameters are very useful. Programmable with an electronic service


Parameters tool, such as ET, they are really the only thing possible to work on
inside an ECM.

Theft Deterrent is an example of a truck engine parameter that could


Theft Deterrent cause the condition of cranks but wont start. If this parameter is
enabled, it prevents the engine from starting until the operator has
entered a four character password. To enable the system, the operator
must enter the password before the engine is shut off. Then, when the
engine is shut off, it will not restart until the password has been entered
correctly via the CAT ID dash display (the operator could also use
Pocket Tech to enter the password). Passwords can be any combination
of numeric or alpha characters.

3500 Series engines are shipped without oil or coolant, to save


Shipping w/out oil transportation costs. To protect the engine, the following parameters are
or coolant
set to zero to prevent startup until the engine has been properly
commissioned:
Crank cycle & Crank Cycle parameter limits how many times the engine can try to
duration set to 0
crank.
Crank Duration parameter limits how long the engine can crank on each
attempt.

Review - Battery,
ECM, P/M, So far, we have looked at four items on the chart that could prevent an
Parameters engine from starting, even if it will crank properly. These requirements
apply to all electronic engines:
Battery Power
ECM
Personality Module

8v input - engine The PEEC engine must have an input signal from its 8 volt engine speed
speed sensor. Remember, this is a sensor that provides speed information only.
It is not a speed/timing sensor. The PEEC engine will start and run
without input from its timing position sensor.

5v/2vshutoff The PEEC engine must also have a working shutoff solenoid. If there is
solenoid, a problem in the shutoff solenoid, or in its related circuit, the fuel rack
will not move from the shutoff position, and the engine will get no fuel.
With all other systems functional, the engine would crank but would not
start.
Note to instructor: Demonstrate the sound made by a functional shutoff
Demonstrate click
if possible
solenoid on a classroom engine simulator. When the key is turned to the
on position, but the engine is not started, the solenoid should click once
loudly, then once again more softly. The first click is the solenoid
plunger being pulled in as the coil is energized. The second click is the
plunger being released. This is an example of an ETR (Energized To
Run) solenoid.
Notice the 5V/2V notation on the chart. The ECM supplies five volts to
pull the plunger back, then drops to two volts to hold it back during
normal engine operation. This gives longer coil life.

Rack sensor, The final requirement for any PEEC engine to start is a functional rack
wont shutdown if position sensor. The notation on the chart that says, wont SD means
signal lost
wont shut down. This is a reminder that the engine will continue to
run if the rack position sensor signal is lost while the engine is running.

If the signal is lost while the engine is running, the PEEC ECM
Speed governing, automatically uses speed governing. In this mode, it compares the
wont restart current duty cycle from the throttle position and the current rpm from
without rack
the speed sensor to set a ratio. It then maintains this ratio of speed
sensor
versus duty cycle to run the engine. However, once the engine is shut
off it will not restart without a rack position signal.

We have now covered the eight required items for any PEEC engine to
start and run. Except for the rack position signal, the loss of any of the
other requirements will shut down a running engine.
The PEEC engines are perhaps the most difficult to troubleshoot. The
older technology gives only limited codes to indicate what is wrong.

If you have verified that all eight electronic requirements are functional,
Non electronic yet the engine will still not start and run, it is not due to an electronic
problem -- look elsewhere. Remember, even electronic engines wont
run without fuel!

Now lets consider the EUI and HEUI requirements.


You still need Battery, ECM, Personality Module, and Parameters.
You also need a working speed/timing sensor (or sensors), so that the
EUI, HEUI ECM will know when to actuate the injectors.
Varieties of speed/timing sensors are:
ADEM II active
12.5v & 13.2v
The brass bodied, 12.5 volt active S/T sensor used on the 3176
The aluminum alloy bodied, 13.2 volt active S/T sensor on ADEM II
engines
The passive sensors used on ADEM III (ADEM 2000) engines.
ADEM III passive
Note: the passive speed/timing sensors work the same way on EUI and
HEUI engines, and troubleshoot in the same manner.

HEUI - IAPCV On HEUI engines, the final requirement to start and run the engine is a
working IAPCV (Injection Actuation Pressure Control Valve). Without
the IAPCV regulating the pressure of the actuation oil (under control of
the ECM) there will not be enough pressure available to actuate the unit
injectors.
Note: Although the IAP (Injection Actuation Pressure) sensor is not
IAP sensor listed on the chart, it could fail in a mode where it would prevent the
engine from starting. If the sensor is incorrectly signaling the ECM that
the actuation pressure is below 870 psi (735 psi on the older 3126
engines), regardless of what the actuation pressure really is, the ECM
will not actuate the injectors.

IAP sensor open - If the IAP sensor is simply unhooked, or has an open circuit, the ECM
defaults
will provide a default voltage to the IAPCV, and the engine will start
and run without a functioning IAP sensor.

Instructor Note: Point out the header information across the top of the
Information on top slide (also on the student handouts).
No crank
No Crank: If the engine will not crank at all, there is a starting system
problem, as described earlier.

One of the
requirements
Cranks & Wont Start: This is the symptom that might indicate a lack of
lacking one or more of the eight requirements for the PEEC engines, the six
requirements for the EUI engines, or the seven requirements for the
HEUI engines.

No Communication: This could be caused by a defective ECM, a


ECM, P/M, battery,
service
missing or corrupted Personality Module, lack of battery voltage to the
tool/cables ECM, or a problem with the electronic service tool or its connecting
cables.

Intermittent Starts but Stalls, or Speed Burps: These conditions could be caused by
problem intermittent problems with one or more of the components that are
needed to start and run the engine, if the problem occurs after the engine
is started (lost battery power to the ECM, loose personality module
chip, lost speed or speed/timing signal, lost power to the shutoff
solenoid, lost connection to the rack BTM or actuator, or lost
connection to the IAPCV, depending on what engine is involved).

Proper operation Electronic components not yet mentioned on the chart are necessary for
components proper engine operation, but none of them will prevent the engine from
starting. Some components may cause the engine to shut down after it
starts, depending on the way the protection parameters are set. For
example, a defective oil pressure sensor that reads lower than actual oil
pressure could cause a shutdown if the parameter for low oil pressure is
set to shutdown mode.
PEEC Boost, The 3406 PEEC truck engine has a transducer module to measure boost
timing & BTM pressure. It also has a timing position sensor and a timing position BTM
that are needed to maintain proper timing advance for the engine. None
of these will prevent the engine from starting. They also will not shut
the engine down if a fault occurs. They could cause the engine to have
poor performance if they are faulty or mis-calibrated.

Exhaust brakes, Exhaust brakes are electronic components found on many truck engines.
brakesaver,
Jacobs & PAC 3406 PEEC, 3406E, C-15, and C-16 may have a brake saver that is
controlled electronically.
The EUI engines may have Jacobs or PAC brakes.
The 3126 HEUI engines may have a guillotine type exhaust brake that
is at least partially controlled by the ECM.

Braking circuits All of these brake circuits can be complex to troubleshoot, because of
complex the number of switches and sensor inputs that are involved. See the
appropriate Electronic Troubleshooting Guide for the engine with which
you are working.
Also, a Jacobs or PAC brake should never be engaged with cold engine

housing and could lead to a condition where the engine is braking and
fueling the injectors at the same time.

Vehicle speed - Another electronic component (physically located off the engine) is the
speed vehicle speed sensor. Older engines also have a speed buffer to
misinterpreted,
speed limit
strengthen the vehicle speed sensor signal.
A faulty or misadjusted vehicle speed sensor can lead to engine
complaints. For example:
A sensor that incorrectly sends a speed signal when a truck is not
moving may cause the ECM to take the engine out of P.T.O. mode.
A faulty signal could interract with parameters such as vehicle speed
limit, and cause the engine to cut off or limit fuel to the engine.

Data Links Data links are used more and more frequently with newer engines for a
multitude of functions. Some examples are:
Communication ABS (Antilock Braking System) has been required on all trucks since
with ABS, the 1999 model year. A separate ECM is used for ABS. It can control
heating/AC, our engine in some cases. For example, if ABS sees wheel slip, it can
transmission
signal our ECM to shut off cruise control and derate the engine to
prevent an accident.
Heating and air conditioning systems may have their own ECM that
communicates with the engine ECM via the data link.
A transmission ECM communicates with the engine ECM.
Corrupted signal If something on the data link is corrupted, engine problems can result.
use process of
The best way to troubleshoot this is to start unhooking components. If
elimination
the engine trouble goes away when you unhook a component from the
data link, it is not an engine problem. It is a problem with the
disconnected component.

Harness - approx. The harness is the final component for our list. It is one of the most
80% of problems important items to consider when troubleshooting. Perhaps 80% of all
electronic problems occur in the harness or the connectors.
Although we have mentioned a lot of different components, many of
them are similar enough (or we troubleshoot them in a similar enough
way) that we can lump them together. An analogy might be a residential
electrician who knows how to install a simple, two-way switch in a
lighting circuit. There may be fifty or more brands of two-way switches,
but if he can work with one of them we can work with any of them.

be sorted into one of three major categories.
They are either an input device, an output device, or a control device.
Examples of input devices are the sensors, switches, ground
Input devices connections, power connections (such as switched or unswitched battery
power).

Control devices Examples of control devices are the p/m, parameters, ECM, or data
links.

Output devices Examples of output devices are the injectors, rack actuators, warning

Slide # 182

Here is a chart that lists the twenty five components. The list is sorted
into input, output, and control columns.

It is also sorted into components that are physically located on the


engine, versus the components that are located off the engine.

Of all the twenty five electronic components, fourteen are located on the
engine, and eleven are located off the engine.

No engine will have all of the twenty five components. Typically, there
will be about fifteen. Taken from this perspective, the troubleshooting
process does not seem quite so bleak.

In completing this lab, you will practice the following skills:


1. Connect the computer to the Communication Adapter / Electronic Control Module.
2. Navigate through the menu screens in ET.
3. View and change engine parameters.
4. Complete special tests.

The instructor will provide the necessary tools, computers, communication adapters, Flash
Code/Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) paper, and any other pertinent items.

(Students)
Part 1. Connecting to ECM/ET
1. Connect the laptop computers and communication adapters to simulators/engines.
2. Power on the computers, and select ET.
3. Look at the communication adapter. What lights are lit on the communication adapter?
___________________. The 9-pin connector gives us power and ground to the
communication adapter. Also, positive and negative data-link.
4. The communication adapter may have power, but ET will NOT communicate until the
key switch is ON or OFF?

Note: For industrial engines there will be a 9 - pin connector at the engine with 4 wires in it. For
+/- battery and +/- data link. For truck you need additional adapters.

Note: On the simulators they represent an engine with key on/engine off. There are no injectors
so we can't do the click test. Driver ID is not entered. On a real truck, theft deterrent could be
turned on. The rest of the simulator is like a production engine: you have a production ECM,
harness, and sensors. We view ET on the simulators just like it was a production engine with
key on/engine off.

Tests/Wiggle Test. Click OK, Click start, and "wiggle" or shake the boost sensor harness
connector. What
happens?__________________________________________________________.
11. Select Diagnostic/Events/Logged Events. Are any present?________________.
Note: These are NOT component/part failures. These are recordings of events that could harm
the engine.
- quick stop
- vehicle overspeed
- engine overspeed
- very low oil pressure
- very high coolant temp
- very low coolant level
- very high air inlet temp

Part 4. Information
1. Select Information/Status. Click on Groups, select group 3 and OK. Click on Active
codes (bottom). What should fuel, coolant, or air inlet manifold temperatures read in the
status screen? _________________________________. They should read room or
ambient temperatures (if on simulator or engine has not been running). This is important
to check if temperatures are high or low for fuel temperature especially. If some wires
are reversed, there could be no active code on the sensor, and the ECM may have an
incorrect input. Fuel temperature compensation could be turned off automatically if the
sensor incorrectly shows above 194 F degrees. This could cause a driver to complain of
low power.
2. These are real time screens showing current conditions. Look at some of the pressures
and temperatures. If the engine has not been running, what should they be with the key
on, engine off?
_____________________________________________________________.
3. Click on Groups, select Group 2 and OK. Observe the boost pressure status, it should be
0 with the key on, engine off. It should still be 0 if the engine is started, but has no load.
4. Select Information/Current Totals. What is the Total Idle time value?_________.

Part 5. Service
1. Select Service/Configuration. Find "Security Access Parameters" and Total Tattletale.
What is the Total Tattletale value?______. Scroll down to "Trip Parameters". What is
the value for "Theft Deterrent System Control"?_______. How many Tattletales are there
for Theft Deterrent Security Control (TT)?______. Scroll down to "Passwords". Note:

If customer passwords were entered here, those customer passwords would have to be
entered before changing parameters like Theft Deterrent. If the customer passwords
were unknown, factory passwords would have to be obtained to view the customer
passwords. This is done under Information/Passwords. What are the FLS/FTS
values?________.
2. Select Service/Parameter Lockout. Select a description that is Locked. Write down what
it is._________________________. Click change, and Yes. In order to change this
Parameter, factory passwords would have to be obtained. Parameter Lockout is available
to restrict access to changing some applicable parameters. (JAN95 or later Personality
Modules) We will NOT enter factory passwords. Click Cancel.

Now let's do the Cooling fan/Output # 4 driver test (Diagnostics/Diagnostic Tests/Special


Tests).
Note: Fan logic is output on, fan off. Output off, fan on.
1. Key off, connect the 40 pin breakout Tee to the OEM side.
2. Check the engine wiring schematic for the appropriate pin number for the Cooling fan
driver. For our case it is output # 4, pin 28.
3. Place a red breakout Tee lead into pin 28, and black breakout Tee lead into battery pin 5.
4. Using test lamp 5P7277, place test lamp into red breakout Tee (pin 28), and ground other
side to black breakout Tee (pin 5, or other ground).

Note: The VOM cannot be used for this test, because the VOM may not go from 12 to 0 when
you turn the output on and off. The ECM has a 200 milliamp output to power a relay for the fan.
A light on the output pin will light up or turn off as we activate and deactivate the multifunction
output. The output may be sitting at 5 or 6 volts even when off. The voltmeter may show voltage
condemning the ECM. If you use VOM in amp meters mode, it acts as a short and the output
goes into current limit and you will read 0 output. Bottom line, a test lamp MUST be used.

5. Key on, in ET go to Diagnostics/Diagnostic Tests/Special Tests


6. Hi-light Cooling Fan test, and Click start (lower left corner).
7. Test lamp should light because output is turned off to activate the output.
8. Click on stop to end the test.
9. Turn key off, and disconnect the 40-pin breakout Tee, connect the engine harness to the
ECM.
Note: This test lets the technician know if the ECM Cooling fan/Output driver # 4 is functioning
properly.

2. Write down the wire color for each pin location on the receptacle side of the connector:
A = ____________, B = ____________, C = ____________
3. Separate the plug and receptacle.
4. Leave the plug side of the connector intact, but remove the wedge from the receptacle
and set it aside for later reassembly.
5. Remove all three wires from the receptacle, and set the receptacle aside for later
reassembly.
6. Insert the pins (without the receptacle) into the proper A, B, C, locations in the plug.
7. Connect E.T. to the data link. With the key on, engine off, access the status screen that
shows boost pressure.

8. Set up the conditions described in the first column of the following table by:
- unplugging pin connections to create open circuits
- using a jumper wire with alligator clips to create short circuits
- switching pin connections to simulate assembly errors
9. For each abnormal condition that you create:
- Use E.T. to check for active codes, and record the code in the second column of the
following table. If there is no code, write "no code" in the table.
- Refer to the E.T. status screen, and record the boost pressure in the third column of the
following table.
- Use a Multi-Meter to measure the voltage from the pin in the "C" position of the plug to
