General
A fuel system with EDC, Electronic Diesel found in the section EDC.
Control, and unit injectors PDE, Pumpe- Düse-
Einheit, consists – besides the fuel lines and a
fuel tank – of the following parts.
1 A feed pump
2 A hand pump
3 An electronic control unit
4 A fuel filter
5 One unit injector, of type PDE, per cylinder
6 A fuel manifold
7 a pressure relief valve
The fuel system also includes an electronic
control system. The control system consists of
– besides the control unit – the unit injector
solenoid valves, sensors and other control
units, among other things. More information
about the electronic control system can be
The path of the fuel Any excess fuel returns to the fuel tank via an
unpressurised return line in the fuel manifold.
The feed pump 1 draws fuel from the fuel tank
and presses it through the fuel filter 2 and into
the fuel manifold 3.
A hand pump 4 is located on the feed pump. The
hand pump is used to bleed the fuel system.
There is an overflow valve 5 on the fuel
manifold. The pressure relief valve constantly
regulates the fuel pressure. When the pressure is
too high, the pressure relief valve opens, so that
the excess fuel is returned to the fuel tank.
The fuel rail distributes the fuel to the unit
injectors in each cylinder head. The EDC
control unit controls when the unit injectors are
to inject the fuel into the cylinders.

Feed pump
The gear-type feed pump is positioned on the
rear end of the air compressor and is driven by
the crankshaft of the compressor.
Its capacity is adjusted to deliver the right
pressure and flow rate to all unit injectors.
The hole drilled in the flange of the feed pump is
used to indicate leaks.

Feed pump location
Hand pump
The hand pump is positioned on the rear end of
the feed pump and is used for bleeding the fuel
system. On buses, the hand pump is positioned
so that it is easily accessible through the rear
engine compartment door.

Fuel manifold
The fuel manifold distributes the fuel into the
unit injectors for each cylinder head. The fuel
manifold is fastened with banjo screws that are
connected to the return line to the fuel tank.

Unit injector
General
There is one unit injector for each cylinder. The
unit injector is positioned in the centre of the
cylinder head between the four valves.
The unit injector is a pump element forming a
single unit with the injector nozzle. It is driven
by the engine camshaft. The drive is transferred
from the camshaft via a roller tappet, pushrod
and rocker arm to the unit injector.
Any excess fuel remaining in the unit injector
after combustion returns to the fuel tank via the
excess fuel duct (A).
A fuel duct passes through the valve housing
which has a constant flow of fuel. The fuel that
flows through the unit injector operates like
coolant in the unit injector. The heated fuel
returns to the fuel tank via the fuel duct for
return fuel (B).

Filling phase
During the filling phase, pump plunger 2 moves
up to its highest position.
The highest point of the cam on the camshaft
has passed and the roller tappet is moving
towards the camshaft base circle.
Fuel valve 1 is in the open position and fuel can
flow into the barrel from fuel duct 3.
Filling continues until the pump plunger reaches
its highest position.

Spill phase
The spill phase begins when the camshaft has
moved on to the position in which the cam on
the camshaft starts to press pump plunger 2
down by means of the roller tappet, pushrod and
rocker arm.
The fuel can now flow through fuel valve 1,
through the hole in the unit injector and out
through fuel duct 4.
The spill phase continues as long as fuel valve 1
remains open.

Injection phase
The injection phase begins when fuel valve 1
closes. The fuel valve closes when voltage is
applied to the solenoid valve. The cam on the
camshaft continues to press pump plunger 2
down by means of the rocker arm and injection
takes place since the passage through the fuel
valve is closed.
The injection phase continues as long as fuel
valve 1 remains closed.

switched on, the stored position of the engine is
used to determine which revolution the engine is

is performed to verify that the stored position is
correct.

The interval between two of the holes is greater
than the intervals between the remaining holes.
When the control unit senses that this larger
interval passes the sensor, it knows that the
flywheel is in a specific position in relation to
top dead centre (TDC UP). Engine speed sensor connections to EDC
control unit E44.
If the control unit detects any faults, one or more
fault codes are generated.

Charge air pressure sensor The engine will then react more slowly than
normal when actuating the throttle in cold
The charge air pressure sensor detects the weather, as the EDC control unit thinks that the
absolute pressure in the intake manifold, i.e. the air is warmer than it really is.
atmospheric pressure plus the positive pressure
provided by the turbocharger.
The EDC control unit uses the signal from the
sensor to limit the fuel volume when the charge
air pressure is under a certain level. The lower
the pressure, the less fuel the control unit allows
to go out to the unit injectors. In this way black
smoke is avoided.
The control unit reads the voltage from the
sensor. The signal voltage is directly
proportional to the charge air pressure. A high
pressure gives a high voltage and vice versa.
Depending on factors such as throttle actuation,
engine speed, engine acceleration and charge air
temperature, the control unit will expect a
certain value for the charge air pressure. The
deviation between the current charge air
pressure and the pressure expected by the
control unit can be read off using Scania
Diagnos.
If there are any faults in the signal, a fault code
is generated. The control unit will then operate
according to a pre-programmed pressure value.
As a safety precaution, the engine torque is then
limited.

Directly after a cold start, the engine speed is
limited to 1000 rpm in order to protect the T33

at a higher level, in order to provide sufficient T5

pressure is below the permitted value, the oil Oil pressure sensor location
pressure lamp comes on. The oil pressure lamp

off.
Warning system
General
106 448
• The warning lamp for EDC comes on. It
will often go out on its own when the fault Warning lamp for EDC, truck
ceases. However, certain faults require the
ignition to be switched off and on, or the
engine to be stopped and restarted, for it to
go out.
• Functions like cruise control and hand
throttle are disengaged.
• Torque is limited.
• When idling, the engine runs at a slightly
higher engine speed than normal.
• The engine is switched off.
• The engine will be forced to idle.
The control unit carries out the above measures
in order to prevent the fault causing expensive
damage and at worst leading to uncontrolled
throttle actuation.
If the engine is not turned off, the vehicle can
often be driven to a workshop. It should be
remembered, however, that the system has less
than normal safety margins, especially if engine
output is reduced.
Shutdown test
Every time the engine is switched off, the EDC
control unit carries out a special test of the EDC
system. While this shutdown test is running, the
warning lamp is lit. When the check is complete,
the following occurs: The control unit switches
off and the lamp goes out. The control unit
receives battery voltage all the time.
If the control unit discovers a fault during the
shutdown test, the warning lamp will come on
the next time the engine is started, even if the
fault is no longer present. The control unit must
carry out a fault-free shutdown test before the
warning lamp goes out.
Fault codes
When the control unit discovers a fault, or
something which it interprets as abnormal, it
generates a fault code. The warning system can
generate approx. 125 different fault codes. One
flashing code in EDC S6 corresponds to several
different fault codes.
PWM signals
Note: A PWM signal cannot be reliably
measured using an ordinary multimeter. Instead,
use the fault codes to locate the cause of any
possible malfunctions.
