3406B (PEEC) Electronic Troubleshooting

(PEEC) System Overview
The 3406B PEEC Diesel Truck Engine is an electronically-controlled 3406B. PEEC controls fuel
rate and timing electronically instead of using flyweights and linkages. The electronics also replace
the mechanical fuel-air ratio control, torque control group, and various adjustment screws.
PEEC uses several sensors as inputs to control two basic functions: rack and timing. Operation of
each of these are similar. PEEC decides where it wants to position the rack or timing advance. It then
varies the voltage to the solenoid (or "BTM") to move the rack or timing toward the desired position.
Position sensors tell PEEC when rack or timing is at the desired position.
Electronic Controls
The PEEC controller consists of two main components: the Electronic Control Module (ECM) and
the Personality Module. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is the computer which controls a
PEEC engine. The Personality Module is the software which controls how the computer behaves.
The two must be used together -neither can do anything by itself.
When the key is first turned on, the personality module sends the ECM through some self-checks.
Until the self-checks are complete, PEEC limits rpm to 1700 rpm, power to about half of normal, and
timing advance to zero. It takes about 8-10 seconds to complete the self-checks, during which time
the driver should leave his foot off the throttle pedal. If the throttle is depressed during this time, the
self-checks are postponed until his foot remains off the throttle to allow the checks to finish. If
electrical power to PEEC is briefly interrupted during operation, PEEC goes back through these self-
checks to ensure proper operation of its circuits.
Rack Controls
The rack mechanism on a PEEC engine is very similar to a mechanical 3406B engine. The fuel
injection pump is nearly identical; the rack is moved by a servo valve which receives oil pressure
from the fuel injection pump. However, the PEEC servo spool is moved by a solenoid or (BTM)
rather than by a linkage controlled by flyweights and springs.
PEEC comes up with a "desired rpm" based on the throttle position, vehicle speed, Customer
Specified Parameters, and certain diagnostic codes. The PEEC governor tries to maintain the desired
rpm by sensing actual engine rpm using the engine speed sensor, then controlling the rack to achieve
the desired rpm.

To move the rack, PEEC adjusts the voltage to the rack solenoid (BTM) to increase rack. More
voltage results in more rack. PEEC knows how far the rack actually went by reading the rack
position sensor. PEEC increases the voltage to the rack solenoid until it senses the rack is in the
desired position.
PEEC sets certain limits on rack motion. "FRC Rack" is a rack limit based on Fuel-Air Ratio
Control, for emissions purposes. It works similar to mechanical engine FARC; when PEEC senses a
https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 8/17/2016
higher boost pressure (more air into cylinder), it increases the FRC Rack limit, which allows more
fuel into the cylinder. "Rated Rack" is a rack limit based on horsepower of the engine. It is similar to
the rack stops and torque spring on a mechanical engine. It provides horsepower and torque curves
for a specific engine family and rating. All of these limits are programmed by the factory into the
personality module.
Timing Advance Controls
The timing advance mechanism is the same as the 3406B mechanical engine, except the Timing
Solenoid (BTM) controls amount of timing advance instead of flyweights. PEEC adjusts voltage to
the timing solenoid to change timing advance. More voltage results in more timing advance. PEEC
knows how much advance was achieved by reading the timing position sensor. PEEC simply
increases voltage to the timing solenoid until it senses that the timing advance is in the desired
position.
Desired timing advance is controlled by software in the Personality Module, and is dependent on
engine rpm, load, and other operation factors. Because of this, the performance specifications do not
call out the amount of advance at a specific rpm. The best indication of timing advance specification
is displayed on ECAP status screens as "Des Timing Adv".
Programmable Parameters
Certain parameters that affect PEEC engine operation may be changed through electronic service
tools. The parameters are stored in the ECM, and are protected from unauthorized changes by
passwords.
Some parameters affect engine operation in ways some drivers may not expect without adequate
training. These may lead to power or performance complaints, even when the engine is performing
to specification.
As an example, Vehicle Speed Limit (VSL) is programmable to allow the customer to electronically
limit vehicle speed. When the programmed limit is reached, PEEC limits rpm so that VSL will not
be exceeded. Also, Progressive Shift parameters (such as Low Gear limits and High Gear limits) will
cause PEEC to pause at a programmed engine rpm to encourage more fuel-efficient driving
practices.
The section on "Programming PEEC Parameters" in this manual has more details on specific
parameters and how to program them.
Passwords
"System Configuration Parameters" are protected by factory passwords. System Parameters are those
that affect horsepower family or emissions. Factory passwords are calculated on a computer system
available only to Caterpillar dealers. Since factory passwords contain alphabetic characters, only the
ECAP may change System Parameters.
"Customer Specified Parameters" are protected by customer passwords. Customer Parameters are
those that affect cruise control, vehicle speed limits, progressive shifting, horsepower rating within a
family, and PTO operation. The customer passwords are programmed by the customer. Either the
ECAP or DDT may normally change Customer Parameters. However, if a customer uses alphabetic
characters in his password, only the ECAP can change Customer Parameters.
The section on "Programming PEEC Parameters" in this manual has more details on when
passwords are needed and how to obtain them.
Self-Diagnostics
PEEC has some ability to diagnose itself. When a problem is detected, a diagnostic code is generated
and the diagnostic lamp is turned on. On newer engines (those equipped with personality modules
built since April 1989), the code may also be stored in permanent memory in the personality module.
Diagnostic Codes that represent current faults are called ACTIVE. They indicate that a problem of
some kind currently exists. They should always be serviced first. See the Troubleshooting Diagnostic
Codes section in this manual for more details.
Diagnostic Codes stored in memory are called LOGGED. The problem may have been temporary or
may have been repaired since the time it was LOGGED. Therefore, LOGGED diagnostic codes don't
necessarily mean something needs to be repaired. They are meant to be an indicator for when
intermittent problems exist. In addition, some logged diagnostic codes record "events", rather than
failures. See the section on "Troubleshooting Diagnostic Codes" in this manual for more details.

PEEC Service Tools

The Caterpillar Service Tools for the PEEC system are designed to help the service technician
analyze and locate faults or problems within the system. They are required to perform sensor
calibrations electronically, and to read or change programmable engine parameters.
The tools have small plug-in modules, called Service Program Modules (SPM), to adapt the basic
tools to a particular engine or application.
The two principal tools are the Electronic Control Analyzer and Programmer (ECAP), and the
Digital Diagnostic Tool (DDT). Both are able to communicate with the PEEC Electronic Control
Module to:
* Program Customer Specified Parameters.* Display and clear ACTIVE or LOGGED Diagnostic
Codes.* Calibrate sensors.* Measure duty cycle (or pulse width) of Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
Sensors (ECAP requires 8C9801 PWM Signal Adapter for this).
In addition, the ECAP offers several advantages:
* Program System Configuration Parameters (necessary to replace an ECM).* Perform functions

requiring factory passwords.* Display status of up to 10 sensors or switches simultaneously.* Can
print parameters when used with 8C9700 Rechargeable Portable Printer.* Can equip with up to 7
SPM's at the same time.* Can print gearing "split charts" when equipped with the NEXG4512
Configuration Aid SPM and the 8C9700 Printer.
There are several adapter cables, breakout 'T' cables, probes, etc., that are used with the service tools
in order to gain access for diagnosis to wires carrying voltages and signals. Both the heavy duty
multimeter and the standard duty multimeter (listed below) are suitable for making the necessary
measurements. Other Special Tools include those needed to measure pressure or temperature.
The following tools are recommended, but are not required.
