Welding Precaution

Correct welding procedures are necessary in order to

avoid damage to the following components:

•   Electronic Control Module (ECM) on the engine

•   Sensors

•   Associated components

Illustration 1

g01143634

Components for the driven equipment should also be

considered. When possible, remove the component

that requires welding. When welding on an engine

that is equipped with an ECM and removal of the

component is not possible, the following procedure

must be followed. This procedure minimizes the risk

to the electronic components.

Service welding guide (typical diagram)

5. When possible, connect the ground clamp for the

welding equipment directly to the engine

component that will be welded. Place the clamp as

close as possible to the weld. Close positioning

reduces the risk of welding current damage to the

engine bearings, to the electrical components, and

to other components.

1. Stop the engine. Remove the electrical power from

the ECM.

2. Ensure that the fuel supply to the engine is turned

off.

6. Protect the wiring harnesses from welding debris

and/or from welding spatter.

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the

battery. If a battery disconnect switch is installed,

open the switch.

7. Use standard welding procedures to weld the

materials together.

4. Disconnect all electronic components from the

wiring harnesses. Include the following

components:

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors and

controls engine performance to ensure maximum

performance and adherence to emissions standards.

The ECM has four primary functions:

values to determine the correct operating strategy for

all engine operations. Diagnostic Trouble Codes

(DTCs) are generated by the microprocessor, if inputs

or conditions do not comply with expected values.

•   Provides reference voltage

•   Conditions input signals

Diagnostic strategies are also programmed into the

ECM. Some strategies monitor inputs continuously

and command the necessary outputs to achieve the

correct performance of the engine.

•   Processes and stores control strategies

•   Controls actuators

Actuator control – The ECM controls the actuators

by applying a low-level signal (low side driver) or a

high-level signal (high side driver). When switched

on, the drivers complete a ground or power circuit to

an actuator.

Reference Voltage – The ECM supplies a 5 VDC

signal to input sensors in the electronic control

system. By comparing the 5 VDC signal sent to the

sensors with the respective returned signals, the

ECM determines pressures, positions, and other

variables important to engine functions.

Actuators are controlled in three ways, determined by

the type of actuator:

Signal Conditioner – The signal conditioner in the

internal microprocessor converts analog signals to

digital signals, squares up sine wave signals, or

amplifies low intensity signals to a level that the ECM

microprocessor can process.

•   A duty cycle (percent time on/off)

•   A controlled pulse-width

•   Switched on or off

Microprocessor – The ECM microprocessor stores

operating instructions (control strategies) and value

tables (calibration parameters). The ECM compares

stored instructions and values with conditioned input

Electronic Troubleshooting

Exhaust Gas Recirculation(EGR) Control

Valve

The ECM sends information (fuel volume, engine oil

temperature, and injection control pressure) through

the CAN 2 datalink to the IDM. The IDM uses this

information to calculate the injection cycle.

The EGR valve controls the flow of exhaust gases

into the inlet and EGR mixer duct.

Injector Power Source

The EGR drive module controls the EGR actuator.

The IDM creates a constant 48 VDC supply to all

injectors by making and breaking a 12 VDC source

across a coil in the IDM. The 48 VDC created by the

collapsed field is stored in capacitors until used by the

injectors.

The EGR drive module receives the desired EGR

actuator position from the ECM across the CAN 2

datalink to activate the valve for exhaust gas

recirculation. The EGR drive module provides

feedback to the ECM on the valve position.

The IDM controls when the injector is turned on and

how long the injector is active. The IDM first

The EGR drive module constantly monitors the EGR

actuator. When an EGR control error is detected, the

EGR drive module sends a message to the ECM and

a DTC is set.

energizes the OPEN coil, then the CLOSE coil. The

low side driver supplies a return circuit to the IDM for

each injector coil (open and close). The high side

driver controls the power supply to the injector. During

each injection event, the low and high side drivers are

switched on and off for each coil.

Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR)

The IPR valve controls pressure in the Injection

Control Pressure (ICP) system. The IPR valve is a

variable position valve controlled by the ECM. This

regulated pressure actuates the fuel injectors. The

valve position is controlled by switching the ground

circuit in the ECM. The voltage source is supplied by

the ignition switch.

IDM and Injector Diagnostics

The IDM determines if an injector is drawing enough

current. The IDM sends a fault to the ECM, indicating

potential problems in the wiring harness or injector,

and the ECM will set a DTC. The IDM also does self-

diagnostic checks and sets a DTC to indicate failure

of the IDM.

Inlet Air Heater (IAH)

On-demand tests can be done using the Electronic

Service Tool (EST). The ESTsends a request to the

ECM and the ECM sends a request to the IDM to do a

test. Some tests generate a DTC when a problem

exists. Other tests require the technician to evaluate

parameters, if a problem exists.

The IAH system warms the incoming air supply prior

to cranking to aid cold engine starting and reduce

white smoke during warm-up.

The ECM is programmed to energize the IAH

elements through the IAH relays while monitoring

certain programmed conditions for engine coolant

temperature, engine oil temperature, and

atmospheric pressure.

Engine Sensors

Temperature Sensors

Injection Drive Module (IDM)

A thermistor sensor changes electrical resistance

with changes in temperature. Resistance in the

thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and

increases as temperature decreases. Thermistors

work with a resistor that limits current in the ECM to

form a voltage signal matched with a temperature

value.

The IDM has three functions:

•   Electronic distributor for injectors

•   Power source for injectors

•   IDM and injector diagnostics

The top half of the voltage divider is the current

limiting resistor inside the ECM. A thermistor sensor

has two electrical connectors, signal return and

ground. The output of a thermistor sensor is a

nonlinear analog signal.

The IDM distributes current to the injectors. The IDM

controls fueling to the engine by sending high voltage

pulses to the OPEN and CLOSE coils of the injector.

The IDM uses information from the ECM to determine

the timing and quantity of fuel for each injector.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)

The ECM uses CKP sensor and CMP sensor input

signals to calculate engine speed and position. The

ECM conditions both input signals and supplies the

IDM with the speed/timing sensor output signals. The

IDM uses these signals to determine the correct

sequence for injector firing.

The ECM monitors the ECTsignal and uses this

information for the instrument panel temperature

gauge, coolant compensation, Engine Warning

Protection System (EWPS), and inlet air heater

operation. The ECT is a backup, if the engine oil

temperature is out-of-range. The ECTsensor is

installed in the water supply housing , right of the flat

idler pulley assembly.

Electronic Troubleshooting

Engine Oil Temperature (EOT)

Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP)

The ECM monitors the EOTsignal to control fuel

quantity and timing when operating the engine. The

EOTsignal allows the ECM and IDM to compensate

for differences in oil viscosity for temperature

changes. This compensation ensures that power and

torque are available for all operating conditions. The

EOTsensor is installed in the rear of the front cover,

left of the high-pressure oil pump assembly.

The EBP sensor measures exhaust back pressure so

that the ECM can control the EGR system. The

sensor provides feedback to the ECM for closed loop

control of the Turbocharger. The EBP sensor is

installed in a bracket mounted on the water supply

housing.

Engine Fuel Pressure (EFP)

Intake Air Temperature (IAT)

The ECM uses the EFP sensor signal to monitor

engine fuel pressure and give an indication when the

fuel filter needs to be changed. The EFP sensor is

installed in the rear of the fuel filter assembly

(crankcase side).

The ECM monitors the IATsignal to control timing and

fuel rate during cold starts. The IATsensor is mounted

on the air filter housing.

Manifold Air Temperature (MAT)

Micro Strain Gauge Sensors

The ECM monitors the MATsignal for EGR operation.

The MATsensor is installed in the intake manifold.

A micro strain gauge sensor measures pressure.

Pressure to be measured exerts force on a pressure

vessel that stretches and compresses to change

resistance of strain gauges bonded to the surface of

the pressure vessel. Internal sensor electronics

convert the changes in resistance to a ratio metric

voltage output.

Variable capacitance sensor

Variable capacitance sensors measure pressure. The

pressure measured is applied to a ceramic material.

The pressure forces the ceramic material closer to a

thin metal disk. This action changes the capacitance

of the sensor.

The sensor is connected to the ECM by three wires:

•   5 VDC supply

The sensor is connected to the ECM by three wires:

•   5 VDC supply

•   Signal return

•   Signal ground

•   Signal return

The sensor receives the 5 VDC supply and returns an

analog signal voltage to the ECM. The ECM

compares the voltage with pre-programmed values to

determine pressure.

•   Signal ground

The sensor receives the 5 VDC and returns an

analog signal voltage to the ECM. The ECM

compares the voltage with pre-programmed values to

determine pressure.

Injection Control Pressure (ICP)

The ECM monitors the ICP signal to determine the

injection control pressure for engine operation. The

ICP signal is used to control the IPR valve. The ICP

sensor provides feedback to the ECM for Closed

Loop ICP control. The ICP sensor is under the valve

cover, forward of the No. 6 fuel injector in the high-

pressure oil rail.

Barometric Absolute Pressure (BAP)

The ECM monitors the BAP signal to determine

altitude, adjust timing, fuel quantity, and inlet air

heater operation.

Intake Manifold Air Pressure (MAP)

Magnetic Pickup Sensors

The ECM monitors the MAP signal to determine

intake manifold pressure (boost). This information is

used to control fuel rate and injection timing. The

MAP sensor is installed left of the MATsensor in the

intake manifold.

A magnetic pickup sensor generates an alternating

frequency that indicates speed. Magnetic pickups

have a two wire connection for signal and ground.

This sensor has a permanent magnetic core

surrounded by a wire coil. The signal frequency is

generated by the rotation of gear teeth that disturb the

magnetic field.

Engine Oil Pressure (EOP)

The ECM monitors the EOP signal, and uses this

information for the instrument panel pressure gauge

and EWPS. The EOP sensor is installed in the left

side of the crankcase below and left of the fuel filter

housing.

Electronic Troubleshooting

Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor

Event Codes

Event Codes are used to indicate that the ECM has

detected an abnormal engine operating condition.

The ECM will log the occurrence of the event code.

An event code does not indicate an electrical

malfunction or an electronic malfunction. For

example, if the temperature of the coolant in the

engine is higher than the permitted limit, then the

ECM will detect the condition. The ECM will then log

an event code for the condition.

The CKP sensor provides the ECM with a signal that

indicates crankshaft speed and position. As the

crankshaft turns, the CKP sensor detects a 60 tooth

timing disk on the crankshaft. Teeth 59 and 60 are

missing. By comparing the crankshaft signal with the

camshaft signal, the ECM calculates engine rpm and

timing requirements. The CKP sensor is installed in

the top left side of the flywheel housing.

Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor

Engine Warning Protection System

(EWPS)

The CMP sensor provides the ECM with a signal that

indicates camshaft position. As the cam rotates, the

sensor identifies the position of the cam by locating a

peg on the cam. The CMP is installed in the front

cover, above and to the left of the water pump pulley.

The EWPS safeguards the engine from undesirable

operating conditions to prevent engine damage and

to prolong engine life. The ECM will illuminate the red

ENGINE lamp when the ECM detects:

Switches

•   High coolant temperature

•   Low oil pressure

Switch sensors indicate position, level, or status.

Switch sensors operate open or closed, allowing or

preventing the flow of current. A switch sensor can be

a voltage input switch or a grounding switch. A

voltage input switch supplies the ECM with a voltage

when closed. A grounding switch will ground the

circuit when closed, causing a zero voltage signal.

Grounding switches are usually installed in series

with a current limiting resistor.

•   Low coolant level

When the protection feature is enabled and a critical

engine condition occurs, the on-board electronics will

shut down the engine. An event logging feature will

record the event in engine hours. After the engine has

shutdown, and the critical condition remains, the

engine can be started for a 30 second run time.

Water In Fuel (WIF)

i05510289

A Water In Fuel (WIF) switch in the element cavity of

the fuel filter housing detects water. When enough

water accumulates in the element cavity, the WIF

sensor signal changes to the Electronic Control

Module (ECM). The ECM sends a message to

illuminate the amber water and fuel lamp, alerting the

operator. The WIF is installed in the base of the fuel

filter housing.

of resistance through which a potential of 1 V will

maintain a current of 1 ampere.

Hertz (Hz) – Hertz is the measure of electrical

frequency in cycles per second.

On-demand test – A self test that the technician

initiates using the EST. It is run from a program in the

processor.

Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) – A PulseWidth

Modulated (PWM) regulator valve, controlled by the

ECM, that regulates injection control pressure.

Open Circuit – An open circuit is a condition that is

caused by an open switch, or by an electrical wire or

a connection that is broken. When this condition

exists, the signal or the supply voltage can no longer

reach the intended destination.

Injection Control Pressure (ICP) – High lube oil

pressure generated by a high-pressure pump/

pressure regulator used to hydraulically actuate the

fuel injectors.

Output Circuit Check (OCC) – An On-demand test

done during an Engine OFF self test to check the

Supply Voltage – The supply voltage is a continuous

voltage that is supplied to a component. The power

may be generated by the ECM or the power may be

battery voltage that is supplied by the engine wiring.

Output State Check (OSC) – An On-demand test

that forces the processor to activate actuators (High

or Low) for additional diagnostics.

Parameter – A parameter is a value or a limit that is

programmable. A parameter helps determine specific

characteristics or behaviors of the engine.

Switch sensors – Switch sensors indicate position.

They operate open or closed, allowing or preventing

the flow of current. A switch sensor can be a voltage

input switch or a grounding switch. A voltage input

switch supplies the ECM with a voltage when it is

closed. A grounding switch grounds the circuit closed,

causing a zero voltage signal. Grounding switches

are usually installed in series with a current limiting

resistor.

Particulate matter – Particulate matter includes

mostly burned particles of fuel and engine oil.

Potentiometer – A potentiometer is a variable

voltage divider that senses the position of a

mechanical component. A reference voltage is

applied to one end of the potentiometer. Mechanical

rotary or linear motion moves the wiper along the

resistance material, changing voltage at each point

along the resistive material. Voltage is proportional to

the amount of mechanical movement.

Top Dead Center (TDC) – The highest position of the

piston during the stroke.

Torque – Torque is a measure of force producing

torsion and rotation around an axis. Torque is the

product of the force, usually measured in pounds, and

radius perpendicular to the axis of the force extending

to the point where the force is applied or where it

originates, usually measured in feet.

Power Cycling – Power cycling refers to the action of

cycling the keyswitch from any position to the OFF

position, and to the START/RUN position.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) – The time that an

actuator, such as an injector, remains energized.

Turbocharger – A turbine driven compressor

mounted to the exhaust manifold. The turbocharger

increases the pressure, temperature, and density of

intake air to charge air.

Random Access Memory (RAM) – Computer

memory that stores information. Information can be

written to and read from RAM. Input information

(current engine speed or temperature) can be stored

in RAM to be compared to values stored in Read

Only Memory (ROM). All memory in RAM is lost when

the ignition switch is turned off.

Valve cover gasket – A valve cover gasket that

contains the pass through electronic wiring harness

connectors for the ICP sensor, and six fuel injectors.

Variable capacitance sensor – A variable

capacitance sensor is a sensor that measures

pressure. The pressure measured is applied to a

ceramic material. The pressure forces the ceramic

material closer to a thin metal disk. This action

changes the capacitance of the sensor.

Read Only Memory (ROM) – Computer memory that

stores permanent information for calibration tables

and operating strategies. Permanently stored

information in ROM cannot be changed or lost by

turning the engine off or when ECM power is

interrupted.

Viscosity – The internal resistance to the flow of any

fluid.

Reference Voltage – Reference voltage is a

regulated voltage that is supplied by the ECM to a

sensor. The reference voltage is used by the sensor

to generate a signal voltage.

Volt (v) – A unit of electromotive force that will move

a current of 1 ampere through a resistance of 1 Ohm.

Voltage – Electrical potential expressed in volts.

Voltage drop – Reduction in applied voltage from the

current flowing through a circuit or portion of the

circuit current multiplied by resistance.

Relay – A relay is an electromechanical switch. A

flow of electricity in one circuit is used to control the

flow of electricity in another circuit. A small current or

voltage is applied to a relay in order to switch a much

larger current or voltage.

Wastegate – The wastegate is a device in a

turbocharged engine that controls the maximum

boost pressure that is provided to the inlet manifold.

Sensor – A sensor is a device that is used to detect

the current value of pressure or temperature, or

mechanical movement. The information that is

detected is converted into an electrical signal.

Water In Fuel (WIF) switch – The WIF switch detects

water in the fuel.

Short Circuit – A short circuit is a condition that has

an electrical circuit that is inadvertently connected to

an undesirable point. An example of a short circuit is

a wire which rubs against a vehicle frame and this

rubbing eventually wears off the wire insulation.

Electrical contact with the frame is made and results

in a short circuit.

Software Functions

Optional Engine Events

Optional engine events are monitored and recorded,

if the engine is equipped with the optional Engine

Warning Protection System (EWPS). Optional engine

events recorded by the ECM include low coolant level

and low oil pressure.

Continuous Monitor

Continuous Monitor is a series of continuous

diagnostic tests done by the Electronic Control

Module (ECM) to detect failure modes (Out of Range,

In Range, and System Faults). During Continuous

Monitor the ignition switch is on.

Engine Event Hours

The ECM records engine events in hours .

•   Out of Range High (Voltage over normal operating

range)

The ECM stores the two most recent events. Two

events could happen in the same hour, and two

events could happen in the same mile.

•   Out of Range Low (Voltage under normal

operating range)

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

•   In Range (In normal operating range but not

correct for conditions)

Type - Indicates active or inactive DTCs.

•   System Malfunction (System is not operating

according to conditions)

Active – With the ignition switch in the ON position,

active indicates a DTC for a condition currently in the

system. When the ignition switch is turned off, an

active DTC becomes inactive. (If a problem remains,

the DTC will be active on the next ignition switch

cycle and the Perkins  1306/1606 Diagnostic

Software will display active/inactive.)

If an input signal is out of range (over or under normal

operating range), the ECM logs a fault and sets a

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The ECM monitors

the operation of systems for in range conditions to

determine if systems are working in a normal

operational range. If the ECM detects that a system

falls outside a predetermined range, a fault will be

logged and a DTC will be set.

Inactive – With the ignition switch in the ON position,

inactive indicates a DTC for a condition during a

previous ignition switch cycle. When the ignition

switch is turned to OFF, inactive DTCs from previous

ignition switch cycles remain in the ECM memory until

cleared.

Each DTC has a three-digit number to identify the

source of a malfunction measured or monitored

electronically. A fault is a malfunction measured or

monitored electronically.

Active/Inactive – With the ignition switch in the ON

position, active/inactive indicates a DTC for a

condition currently in the system and was present in a

previous ignition switch cycle, if the code was not

cleared.

The ECM continuously monitors the Injection Control

Pressure (ICP) system and the Air Management

System (AMS). If the ECM detects that a system falls

outside a predetermined range, the ECM logs a fault

and sets a DTC.

Description - Defines each DTC

During normal engine operation, the ECM

automatically performs several tests to detect faults.

Diagnostic Tests

When a fault is detected, the ECM often runs a fault

management strategy to allow continued, though

sometimes degraded, engine operation.

Perkins  1306/1606 Diagnostic Software is required

to perform the following tests.

With the engine running, engine events are

permanently recorded in the ECM. Engine events can

be retrieved with the Perkins  1306/1606 Diagnostic

Software.

Key-On Engine-Off (KOEO) Tests

Standard Test

The KOEO Standard test is done by the ECM. The

technician runs this test, using the EST.

Engine Events

During the KOEO Standard test, the ECM does an

internal test of the processing components and

memory followed by an Output Circuit Check (OCC).

The OCC evaluates the electrical condition of the

circuits, not mechanical or hydraulic performance of

the systems. By operating the ECM output circuits

and measuring each response, the Standard test

detects shorts or opens in the harnesses, actuators,

and ECM. If a circuit fails the test, a fault is logged

and a DTC is set.

Standard Engine Events

Standard engine events include excessive coolant

temperature and engine rpm (over-speed).

Electronic Troubleshooting

The ECM checks the Injection pressure regulator

circuit.

•   Barometric Absolute Pressure (BAP)

•   Battery Voltage

When the OCC is done, the DTC window will display

DTCs, if there are problems.

•   EGR Valve Position

Note: When using the EST to do KOEO or Key-On

Engine-Running (KOER) diagnostic tests, Standard

test is always selected and run first. If the ignition

switch is not cycled, do not run the Standard Test

again.

•   Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP)

•   Engine Coolant Level (ECL)

•   Engine Fuel Pressure (EFP) (optional)

•   Engine Oil Pressure (EOP)

•   Engine Oil Temperature (EOT)

•   Intake Air Temperature (IAT)

•   Injection Control Pressure (ICP)

•   Manifold Air Temperature (MAT)

•   Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

Injector Test

Note: The Standard test must be done before doing

the Injector test. The Injector test diagnoses electrical

problems in IDM wiring or injectors.

Note: Before doing the Injector test, DTCs should be

accessed, noted, and cleared. DTCs found will then

be displayed as Active DTCs.

During the Injector test, the ECM requests the IDM

actuate the injectors in numerical order (1 through 6),

not in ring order. The IDM monitors the electrical

circuit for each injector, evaluates the performance of

the injector coils, and checks the operation of the

electrical circuit. If an electronic component in the

injector drive circuit fails the expected parameters,

the IDM sends a fault to the ECM. The ECM logs the

fault, a DTC is set and sent to the EST.

Output State Low Test

The Output State Low test allows the technician to

diagnose the operation of the output signals and

actuators.

In the Output State Low test mode, the ECM pulls

down the output voltage to the low state. This

grounds the low side driver circuits and actuates the

output components controlled by the ECM.

Note: The technician can monitor injector operation

by listening to the sound of each injector when

activated by the IDM. During Hard Start and No Start

conditions, when oil is cold and thick, injectors may

be hard to hear.

During Output State Low test, the output of the circuit

in question can be monitored with a Digital Multimeter

(DMM). The DMM measures a low voltage state as

the outputs are toggled. The actual voltage will vary

with the circuit tested.

The DTC window will display DTCs, if there are

problems.

Note: A breakout harness and a DMM are required to

monitor the suspected circuit or actuator. DTCs are

not set by the ECM during this test.

Continuous Monitor Test

The Continuous Monitor test troubleshoots

intermittent connections between the ECM and

sensors. The engine can be off or running.

The following actuators are activated when toggled

low during the test:

•   Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) (electrical

circuit only)

The EST monitors the following circuits:

•   EGR (audible and visual inspection only)

continuous monitoring by EGR drive module

Glow Plug/Inlet Air Heater Output State

Test

The Glow Plug/Inlet Air Heater Output State test

allows the technician to determine if the Inlet Air

Heater System is operating correctly.

The inlet air heater relay operation is activated for 30

seconds. A DMM and current clamp are used to

measure the time the relay is on and the amperage

that is drawn for the inlet air heater.

Key-On Engine-Running(KOER) Tests

Standard Test

When all cylinders are active, the contribution of each

cylinder is 17% of the overall effect to maintain

governed speed. When three cylinders are shut off,

contribution of each remaining cylinder is 33% of the

overall effect to maintain governed speed. The

technician should monitor fuel rate and engine load.

During the KOER Standard test, the ECM commands

the IPR through a step test to determine if the ICP

system is performing as expected. The ECM monitors

signal values from the ICP sensor and compares

those values to the expected values. When the

Standard test is done, the ECM returns the engine to

normal operation and transmits DTCs set during the

test.

Note: The Relative Compression test should be done

after doing the Injector Disable test to distinguish

between an injector or mechanical problem.

Note: Before running the manual or automatic

injector disable test, ensure that the following

conditions are met:

Note: Before doing this test, confirm the following

conditions:

•   Make sure that accessories are turned off. Items

cycled during this test could corrupt the test

results.

•   Problems causing active DTCs were corrected,

and active DTCs were cleared.

•   Keep engine oil temperature within a 2° C  (5° F)

range from the beginning to the end of the test.

Engine oil temperature affects injection timing. Too

much of a change in engine oil temperature could

corrupt the test results.

•   Engine coolant temperature must be at least 70° C

(158° F)70 °C (158 °F).

•   Battery voltage must be higher than 10.5 VDC.

Continuous Monitor Test

Note: If any injectors are removed and reinstalled or

replaced, run the engine for 30 minutes before

checking for misfire or rough idle.

The Continuous Monitor test troubleshoots

intermittent connections at sensors and actuators.

The engine can be off or running.

Automatic Test

The EST monitors the following circuits:

•   Barometric Absolute Pressure (BAP)

•   Battery Voltage

The Automatic test is used when comparing cylinder

to cylinder test data.

Note: Do KOER Standard test before doing this test.

•   Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP)

•   Engine Coolant Level (ECL)

•   Engine Fuel Pressure (EFP) (optional)

•   Engine Oil Pressure (EOP)

Manual Test - Engine Cold

The Manual test is used when diagnosing each

cylinder for cold misfire, considering engine oil

temperature changes.

The engine oil temperature indicator will change from

red to green when engine temperature reaches 70° C

(158° F) or higher.

•   Engine Oil Temperature (EOT)

•   Intake Air Temperature (IAT)

•   Injection Control Pressure (ICP)

•   Manifold Air Temperature (MAT)

•   Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

If the engine oil temperature indicator is red,

erroneous comparisons are likely from cylinder to

cylinder. However, when diagnosing a cold misfire, a

technician can listen to tone changes from cylinder-

to-cylinder.

When the engine oil temperature indicator is green

and the engine temperature is 70° C  (158° F) or

higher, fuel rate and timing are more stable, meaning

that comparisons from cylinder to cylinder are more

accurate. Overall engine operation is more stable.

Injector Disable Tests

The Injector Disable tests allow the technician to shut

off injectors to determine if a specific cylinder is

contributing to engine performance. Injectors can be

shut off one at a time, alternative cylinders at a time

or alternative cylinders plus one.

Shut off one injector at a time and listen for changes

in exhaust tone.

Note: If any injectors are removed and reinstalled or

replaced, run the engine for 30 minutes before

checking for misfire or rough idle.

Alternate cylinders are every other cylinder in ring

order.

Firing order: 1-5-3-6-2-4

Replacing the ECM

NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Each DTC has a three-digit number to identify the

source of a malfunction measured or monitored

electronically. A fault is a malfunction measured or

monitored electronically.

Contaminants may cause  rapid wear and  shortened

component life.

The engine is equipped with an Electronic Control

Module (ECM). The ECM contains no moving parts.

Follow the troubleshooting procedures in this manual

in order to be sure that replacing the ECM will correct

the problem. Verify that the suspect ECM is the cause

of the problem.

The ECM continuously monitors the Injection Control

Pressure (ICP) system and the Air Management

System (AMS). If the ECM detects that a system falls

outside a predetermined range, the ECM logs a fault

and sets a DTC.

During normal engine operation, the ECM

automatically performs several tests to detect faults.

Note: Ensure that the ECM is receiving power and

that the ECM is properly grounded before

replacement of the ECM is attempted. Refer to the

schematic diagram.

When a fault is detected, the ECM often runs a fault

management strategy to allow continued, though

sometimes degraded, engine operation.

Note: When a new ECM is not available, an ECM can

be used from an engine that is not in service. The

ECM must have the same serial number suffix.

Ensure that the replacement ECM and the part

number for the flash file match the suspect ECM. Be

sure to record the parameters from the replacement

ECM.

With the engine running, engine events are

permanently recorded in the ECM. Engine events can

be retrieved with the Perkins  1306/1606 Diagnostic

Software.

Diagnostic Trouble Code – When a fault in the

electronic system is detected, the ECM generates a

diagnostic trouble code. The diagnostic trouble code

indicates the specific fault in the circuitry.

NOTICE

If  the   flash  file   and  engine   application  are   not

matched, engine damage may result.

Diagnostic codes can have three different states:

Active – With the ignition switch in the ON position,

active indicates a DTC for a condition currently in the

system. When the ignition switch is turned off, an

active DTC becomes inactive. (If a problem remains,

the DTC will be active on the next ignition switch

cycle and the Perkins  1306/1606 Diagnostic

Software will display active/inactive.)

A replacement ECM and IDM can be obtained with

the flash file already installed or a blank ECM can be

ordered.

If a blank ECM or IDM is being installed, contact

“PartsHelpdesk@Perkins.com ” for the correct flash

file. To install the flash file, refer to Troubleshooting,

“Flash Programming”.

Inactive – With the ignition switch in the ON position,

inactive indicates a DTC for a condition during a

previous ignition switch cycle. When the ignition

switch is turned to OFF, inactive DTCs from previous

ignition switch cycles remain in the ECM memory until

cleared.

i05345689

Self-Diagnostics

Active/Inactive – With the ignition switch in the ON

position, active/inactive indicates a DTC for a
