5.6
The Engine Brake option converts a power-producing diesel engine into a power-absorbing air
compressor. This is accomplished by opening the constant throttle valve over all cylinders near
the top of the normal compression stroke and releasing the compressed cylinder charge to exhaust.
The release of the compressed air to atmospheric pressure prevents the return of energy to the
engine piston on the expansion stroke, the effect being a net energy loss. Fueling is cut off when
this occurs. The constant throttle valves are open over all cycles, not just the exhaust cycle.
5.6.1
OPERATION
A dash mounted On/Off Switch is used to enable the Engine Brake option. Engine Brake
operations are allowed only when all of the following conditions are met:
Percent throttle = 0 except if exceeding Vehicle Speed Limit
Engine speed is within a programmed range
ABS is not active (J1939)
Clutch pedal is released
Fuel quantity = 0%
Engine is not in VSG mode
Engine Brake switchs are turned on
Torque converter locked up (automatic transmission)
If all of these conditions are met, engine brake will be activated when the engine brake switches
are on low or medium (for exhaust flap Engine Brake configuration) or on low, medium or high
(for turbo Engine Brake configuration). Engine brakes will be deactivated when at least one of
these conditions is no longer met or the engine brake switch is turned back to the OFF position.
