diagnostic process.
The student will be able to recall the electronic components needed to start a PEEC,
EUI, and HEUI engine.

Slide # 187
PEEC 8 to start As we discussed earlier, PEEC has eight electronic components needed
to start.
1. Positive and negative battery no power, no start
2. Functional ECM
3. A personality module typically, if communicating with the ECM
the top three are good.
4. Parameters
5. Speed sensor ECM must see engine speed
6. Shutoff solenoid shutoff solenoid must be out of the way of the
rack
7. Rack BTM must have movement of the rack
8. Rack position sensor ECM must know the position of the rack
Slide # 188
EUI 7 to start EUI engines need six properly functioning electronic components to
start.
Like PEEC, EUI needs:
- positive and negative battery
- ECM
- P.M.
- Parameters
However, EUI additionally needs:
- speed/timing signal
- good injectors
Slide # 189
Gather information
Driver Questionnaire
Questionnaire response
Performance effect of active diagnostic codes
Check the repair history
What happened, in what order
Slide # 190
Gather information Discuss the information gathering process. This can be a key in
troubleshooting. Typically, the more information that is gathered, the
better the chances of solving the complaint.
The information listed here assists fact finding:
- Driver Questionnare
- Questionnare response
- Performance effect of active diagnostic codes
- The repair history
- Order of occurrence
Note: See Electronic troubleshooting Guide SENR5582 as a reference.
Slide # 191
Verification Once the information has been gathered, try to repeat the problem.
Some complaints are due to misunderstandings or a parameter that has
been changed. For instance, if a new or different driver is operating a
unit with gear-down protection programmed. (Gear Down Protection
allows a setting of an engine rpm limit for the higher gears that ensures
cruising speed can only be reached in top gear). This may generate a
performance complaint because the operator is not use to the rpm
limiting with his other truck.
Slide # 192
Active codes An active diagnostic code may be the reason for a complaint. Active
diagnostic codes should be troubleshot and repaired first. Troubleshoot
active codes with the appropriate Electronic Troubleshooting Guide.
Follow step by step in the guide. Do NOT skip steps.
Slide # 193
Logged codes If there are no active codes, check the logged codes that could be
causing the symptom or complaint.
Status screen In addition, the status screen may assist in the troubleshooting
procedure. Verify that temperatures and pressures are correct for key
on, engine off. For example, if the fuel temperature in the status screen
shows 200 + degrees F with the key on, engine off, and the engine has
not been running, there could be a polarity problem. (wires are
swapped). The temperature of the fuel should be approximately the
ambient temperature. In this example, it is possible to have a
performance complaint.
Commons If there is more than one problem, investigate for common causes such
as, common wires, grounding studs and the ECM.
Test subsystems
Use procedure in manual
Connector checks are extremely important
Check every pin, socket, and wire
Slide # 194
Basics of The most common starting point for troubleshooting all electronics are
electronic t/s the connectors. It is extremely important to check every pin, socket,
and wire.
Perform 10 pound pull test on each of the wires associated with the
component.

Should find In this case, the resistance between pin/socket 36 and pin/socket 30
resistance should read less than 20 ohms. This would indicate a short in the

ECMs power How is pull-up voltage produced? An overall explanation of the ECMs
supply power supply is shown here.
First the ECM must receive battery voltage, this may be 12 or 24VDC.
12 for on-highway trucks and typically 24 V for everything else. The
ECM uses a switching Power Supply to produce about a 100VDC
supply voltage. This 100VDC supply is used to power the
Mechanically or Hydraulically actuated EUIs. The 100V supply is
regulated down to 13.2 volts which is for the Speed Timing Sensor.
Then, an 8V supply is produced for the TPS. (On 3500B engines there
is also a right and left exhaust gas temp sensor which is powered by
8VDC). From the 8V DC supply a 6.25 or 6.4 volt supply is provided,
and then a 5 volt dc supply. The 6.25 or 6.4 supply is not shown on
schematics because it is not brought outside the ECM like the other
supply voltages.
C wire open As the slide shows, there is a pull-up resistor shown in green. It runs
causes the from the pull-up supply to the sensor signal line internal to the ECM.
voltage to float to
6.25v
The ECM microprocessor monitors the sensor signal line and
annunciates the proper temperature, pressure or fault code depending on
the voltage it receives. When the C wire is open, the voltage on the C
wire will float up to the pull-up voltage which in this case is
approximately 6.25V, and the ECM microprocessor will indicate an 03
code for that sensor as a result. There would be a separate pull-up
resistor for each 5 volt sensor.
Also, if the sensor is unplugged and the pull-up voltage can be read
Verified ECM &
from C to B, then the following things have been verified: The ECM is
wiring to sensor
connector good powered, it is producing the pull-up voltage, AND the B to C wiring
from the ECM to the sensor connector on the engine harness is okay.
Note: This does not verify that the A wire is OK.

voltage from C to B is 4.98v. This gives a 102-00 code, which is

this would not generate a code, where could we possibly see this?
The status screen. On the chart, pressure appears to be 120 psi. This
pressure would be there regardless if the engine was running or not.

2. Review the complaints with the students before going to the lab.
3. Explain there may be additional problems due to experiment troubleshooting.
4. Answer any questions
In completing this lab, you will practice the following skills, on several different engines:
1. Troubleshoot for complaints or problems like the following:
- Engine will not crank
- Cannot communicate with ECM
- Engine cranks, but will not start
- Engine starts but idles only
- Engine has active codes, such as short or open circuits
- Engine has low power
- Engine has rough idle
2. Inspect connectors via "10 pound pull test".
3. Disassemble, inspect, and reassemble Deutsch DT and/or HD Connectors.
4. Use a Multi-Meter to check voltage and/or continuity
5. Use Caterpillar ET (Electronic Technician) to:
- Find and print information
- Monitor status screens
- Retrieve active diagnostic codes
- Retrieve (and clear) logged diagnostic codes
- Perform diagnostic tests
Instructions
1. Fill in the work order for each engine that you repair (or attempt to repair).
2. Check coolant and oil levels before attempting to start the engine.
3. Use the diagnostic procedure - don't simply look for visual "bugs". Remember that these
are simulated problems, which may not be quite so obvious as the "real life" situations
that they represent.
4. Work from the worst problem to the least drastic, in order to find everything that is
wrong.
5. If you need parts, see the instructor.
6. You should be able to do all repairs with the same tooling that was available to you in the
Unbroken Engines Lab performed earlier. All necessary diagnostic tooling is available,
but is unhooked from the engines.
7. When you think you are finished, bring the work order to the instructor. Explain the
symptoms you discovered, the cause of those symptoms, and the steps you took to
correct the problem(s).
8. You have not completed the lab until all codes and symptoms are gone, to the instructor's
satisfaction.
9. When the instructor is satisfied that you have fixed the engine completely, he will tell
you whether or not you need to re-bug it for the next team.
10. Be safe -- If you are not sure about something, ask before doing it!
Complaint:
Engine died while idling, and would not crank when the driver tried to restart it. Had to
be towed into the shop.

SEGQ4031 - 338 - Lab Sheet - Broken Engines
8/02
Background information: This is a salvaged engine from a wrecked highway truck. The
truck had 300,000 miles on it when it was in a bad accident. Rancher Frels bought the
engine and made it into a water pumper for the feed lot 2 years ago. He said it had been
working fine till yesterday. Gomer and his apprentice on 3rd shift already worked on it
for two hours last night, but couldn't find the problem. They had to go on an emergency
call. They said they put it "pretty much back the way they found it".

Complaint:
Driver was on her normal daily run between Chicago and St. Louis. The engine had a
speed burp, then died. She coasted onto the shoulder.
Now it cranks but won't start. It must have active codes, because she said the light is
flashing.
It was in the shop last week, for a low power complaint. Gomer couldn't find anything
wrong.
