Service Tool Features

Usage:

C7.1 881
Note: With the release of Tier 4 Final engines, more emissions control system components have been added to the engine to reduce the NOx output. The addition of these components requires two Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) for the engine and aftertreatment systems to operate. The most recent version of the electronic service tool must be used when connecting to the ECMs.

Override Parameters

The override parameters screen has multiple overrides. The parameters control various functions on the engine and the aftertreatment. These functions and features allow the technician to troubleshoot different engine systems.

In the electronic service tool, select the engine ECM or the Dosing Control Unit (DCU) as appropriate for the required override.

Override Parameters Listed in the Engine ECM Menu

Diagnostic Tests

Electronic service tool diagnostic tests are listed below.

In the electronic service tool, select the engine ECM or the Dosing Control Unit (DCU) as appropriate.

Select the "Diagnostics" tab.

Select the "Diagnostic Tests" tab.

Diagnostic Tests Listed in the Engine ECM Menu

Injector Solenoid Test

The purpose of the injector solenoid test is to diagnose injector wiring and injector solenoid functionality.

This test identifies an open circuit or a short circuit in the circuit for the injector solenoids. The test activates the injector solenoids one at a time with the engine is not running. A good solenoid will create an audible click when the solenoid is activated. The electronic service tool indicates the status of the solenoid as "OK", "Open", or "Short".

The injectors must be powered to enable the automatic test to be run. To start the test, select the "Start" button. The automatic test will continually cycle through the injectors until the "Stop" button is selected.

There are no test results if the "Change" button is selected to power or cutout an individual injector. When selected, the "Power All" and "Cutout All" buttons do not give test results.

Cylinder Cutout Test

The cylinder cutout test allows one cylinder or multiple cylinders to be cut out. The cylinder cutout test is useful when troubleshooting poor engine performance or a suspected injector failure

The process involves cutting out power and restoring power to a selected cylinder. The remaining powered cylinders are then monitored for expected increases in delivered fuel volume. If the fuel volume does not increase, the cylinder that was not powered was not working prior to being cut out for the test.

A cylinder that is not working means that the power produced by that cylinder is comparatively less than the other cylinders. This fault can have numerous root causes relating to the cylinder including the injector, valves, and piston.

The cylinder cutout test can be performed on one injector or multiple injectors at once. This function provides a way to identify misfiring cylinders when the engine is running.

Wiggle Test

The purpose of the Wiggle Test is to detect intermittent electrical faults in electronic control systems. The Wiggle Test function allows the user to determine if there is an intermittent wiring fault. The test will indicate (by changing the value reading) which parameter moved beyond a predetermined range when wiggling the wiring harness, sensor, or connector.

This test requires that the engine is OFF and the key switch is in the ON position (or ECM energized and 0 engine speed). If the engine is started with the wiggle test active, the wiggle test will abort.

The Wiggle Test will reduce all ECM requirements to trip fault codes, making the diagnostics sensitive. Under normal operation some fault codes need multiple occurrences before the code will log. But during this test the fault codes will trip the first time.

The technician must wiggle and shake the wiring to check if codes go active. If any parameter changes state electrically, an audible alarm is also activated. Once the test has ended, the ECM returns to normal diagnostic trip requirements.

DPF Soot Loading Sensor Functional Test

This test is used to determine if the mean soot level and standard deviation are within range.

Fuel Rail Pressure Relief Valve Test

The purpose of this test is check that the opening pressure for the pressure relief valve is above 220 MPa (31900 psi). The engine speed is automatically increased above a minimum threshold when this test is run. Rail pressure is then increased to 220 MPa (31900 psi). After a short time, the rail pressure is reduced to normal.

Fuel Rail Pressure Test

The purpose of this test is check the integrity of the high-pressure fuel system after work has been completed. The test can also help with troubleshooting general fuel system-related issues.

The engine speed is automatically increased above a minimum threshold when this test is run. The rail pressure is increased to 220 MPa (31900 psi) and held at this pressure for a time. The rail pressure is then reduced to normal. If the check is for system integrity after work, the engine must be stopped before inspecting the high-pressure fuel system for fuel leaks. If the reason for the test is troubleshooting general fuel system-related issues, check for error codes. Any error codes that occur during the test should be used to provide guidance for troubleshooting.

Aftertreatment Regeneration System Test

Before performing this test, make sure that loads that can cause power fluctuations are inhibited. An example of a fluctuating load is air conditioning.

This test must be run with the engine running but not under load. The engine must reach a minimum coolant temperature. Once the conditions are met, engine speed and load must be reduced to the minimum level that can be achieved with the engine/equipment configuration.

The ECM software performs the necessary checks to ensure that the test runs under the required conditions. If the test aborts before completion, the electronic service tool displays any relevant error identifiers.

The following conditions must be met before the Aftertreatment Regeneration System Test can begin:

  • No related active diagnostic codes

  • Coolant at the minimum required temperature

  • Engine speed and load in the required range

The ECM will gradually close the Exhaust Back Pressure Regulator (EBPR) to establish a desired cylinder head pressure differential. If the target pressure differential is not achieved, an error identifier will be displayed, indicating that the EGR intake pressure is not responding.

If the pressure differential is achieved, the test will wait for the DPF intake temperature to stabilize. The test will then check if the DPF intake temperature is above a minimum threshold. If the minimum temperature threshold is not met, an error identifier will be displayed to indicate that the DPF intake temperature is too low.

Air System Motor Valves Verification Test

The Air System Motor Valve Verification Test will identify whether the EGR valve, and the EBPR are working correctly. This test must be run when the engine speed is zero and the battery voltage is within an acceptable range. For a 12VDC system, the service test must only be executed if the battery voltage is between 9VDC and 16VDC. For a 24VDC system, the battery voltage must be between 18VDC and 32VDC. If the battery voltage is outside of these ranges at any time, the test must be aborted. The test will also be aborted if a position sensor diagnostic, a motor short diagnostic, or a motor open circuit diagnostic become active.

If at any point during the test the engine speed is not zero, the test will abort. The test moves the valves to various positions and then checks the position sensor within each valve to confirm that the valve has responded correctly. Each valve will be tested in turn, starting with the EGR valve. If a test threshold is exceeded or any related diagnostics become active, the test will abort and generate an error identifier.

Aftertreatment System Functional Test

Before performing this test, make sure that loads that can cause power fluctuations are inhibited. An example of a fluctuating load is air conditioning.

This test is used to verify that the SCR System is functioning correctly. The EBPR and elevated engine speed are used to increase the exhaust gas temperature. The higher temperature allows the NOx sensors and SCR system to control active DEF dosing.

When the NOx sensors are ready for use, the sensors control DEF dosing and check that the NOx conversion efficiency meets the test target value.

The following conditions must be met for the test to start:

  • Coolant at the minimum required temperature

  • DEF at the minimum required temperature

  • Exhaust gas at the minimum required temperature

  • Sufficient DEF in the tank

  • No related active diagnostic codes

  • Engine speed and load in the required range

Once the target SCR inlet temperature has been achieved and the NOx conversion level has been met, the test will complete successfully.

If a related diagnostic code is generated during the test, the test will be aborted.

If the test times out with no active codes and NOx conversion test criteria is not met, a low NOx conversion error identifier is logged.

If certain DCU faults are active, the test will cycle power to the DCU in an attempt to clear these faults before continuing the test.

If an active low DEF concentration event or low NOx conversion ratio event is present, the test will be modified. This mode will request that DEF dosing be reduced to a minimum to remove all stored ammonia in the catalyst. The test will then attempt to clear the NOx conversion and DEF concentration events in an abbreviated time period. If the events are cleared, the test will complete successfully. If the events are still active, the test will fail after a timeout period.

Manual HC Dosing Capability Test

Before performing this test, make sure that loads that can cause power fluctuations are inhibited. An example of a fluctuating load is air conditioning.

This test is used to check the HC dosing process. Periodic HC dosing elevates the exhaust gas temperature to clean the SCR system so that acceptable NOx conversion is maintained. The test checks that HC dosing raises the SCR intake temperature to the correct level.

The test must be performed at low engine speed and low load. The test will only start when all the following criteria are met:

  • The engine is running

  • Coolant at the minimum required temperature

  • No active diagnostic codes

The test will initially use the EBPR to increase the DOC intake temperature. When the target DOC inlet temperature is reached, HC dosing will begin and the initial temperature rise across the DOC is assessed. If the temperature rise is insufficient, the EBPR will be used to raise the DOC intake temperature further. If the required temperature rise is achieved, HC dosing will increase until the DPF intake temperature reaches approximately 475° C (887° F). If the target temperature is achieved, HC dosing continues until the SCR intake temperature reaches 475° C (887° F). If the target SCR intake temperature is achieved, the test will end successfully.

Diagnostic Tests Listed in the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Controller #1 Menu

DEF Dosing System Purge Test

This test verifies that the DEF purging process is working correctly by purging the DEF pump and lines.

This service test is used to purge the DEF system. This test turns on the DEF pump and opens the reversing valve, causing the DEF to be pumped from the injector back into the tank. Purging allows the system to de-pressurize and empty prior to repair work.

DEF Dosing System Accuracy Test

This test is used with the 441-0451 DEF Test Kit to measure the amount of DEF that the SCR dosing system is delivering. The test can also be used to confirm that there is an acceptable spray pattern from the DEF Injector.

Note: The DEF injector must be removed from the exhaust system during this test and placed in an appropriate container. Failure to do so could result in issues with the SCR system operation. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Aftertreatment SCR System Dosing Test".

This test turns on the DEF pump and opens the DEF injector. The DEF injector atomizes the DEF and the spray pattern must be uniform in order for the SCR system to work properly. Once the test completes, the system will purge and the amount of DEF in the container must be confirmed to meet the specification.

DEF Heated Lines Test

This test checks the electrical circuit integrity by activating the line heaters. The test is used to validate a repair made to any of the heated line circuits.

This test turns on all the line heaters. The test will cycle the line heaters on and off for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the test will turn off. This test is used to check the line heater circuit for faults.

DEF Dosing System Verification Test

This test primes the dosing system. The test is used to ensure that the DEF pump is able to build adequate pressure.

This test turns on the DEF pump for 5 minutes. During this time, the DEF pump will pressurize the entire DEF dosing system. The DEF injector will remain closed to maintain a constant pressure within the dosing system. The DEF pump will purge the system at the end of the test.

Calibrations

Electronic service tool calibration procedures are listed below.

In the electronic service tool, select the engine ECM.

Select the "Service" tab.

Select the "Calibrations" tab.

Calibrations Listed in the Engine ECM Menu

Injector Codes Calibration

Whenever an injector is replaced, the injector must be trimmed. Trimming the injector calibrates all the injectors to deliver the same amount of fuel. The injector trim code is on the injector. The Injector Codes Calibration allows the injector trim code information to be programmed into the ECM. After the injector is calibrated, the calibration data is checked for validity. For further information, refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Code - Calibrate".

High-Pressure Fuel Pump Calibration

High-pressure fuel pump calibration is used to perform a pump calibration manually. In normal operation, this calibration procedure will occur automatically. The calibration must only be performed as instructed during troubleshooting procedures. The pump calibration is used to optimize the dynamic characteristics of the rail pressure control. If there are issues with overshooting or undershooting the desired rail pressure, a pump calibration will improve the rail pressure control.

Dyno Mode

In the electronic service tool, select the engine ECM.

Select the "Service" tab.

Select the "Dyno Mode" tab.

Dyno Mode

When the engine is installed in a machine, the engine ECM receives inputs from various machine components, such as the transmission ECM or machine ECM. If the ECM does not see the inputs, the ECM assumes that something is wrong and sets a diagnostic trouble code.

Dyno Mode is used to run an engine on a dynamometer without derates or diagnostic trouble codes tripping from missing inputs. Dyno Mode does not require the CEM to be installed.

  1. Select "Enable" to enable Dyno Mode.

  2. Return to the "Service" tab.

  3. Select the "Service Procedures" tab.

Service Procedures

Electronic service tool service procedures are listed below.

In the electronic service tool, select the engine ECM.

Select the "Service" tab.

Select the "Service Procedures" tab.

Service Procedures Listed in the Engine ECM Menu

Aftertreatment Recovery Procedure

Before performing this test, make sure that loads that can cause power fluctuations are inhibited. An example of a fluctuating load is air conditioning.

This procedure is used specifically for engines which require periodic HC dosing to clean the SCR system. The test is performed at elevated temperatures so that acceptable NOx conversion is maintained. The purpose of the procedure is to recover performance of the complete aftertreatment system.

The ECM software will perform the necessary checks to ensure that the procedure runs under the required conditions. The checks will generate any relevant error identifiers if the procedure aborts before completion.

The following engine conditions must be met before the procedure will start:

  • No related active diagnostic codes

  • Coolant temperature condition met

  • Engine speed and load in the required range

An EBPR check is performed by the service test before starting the regeneration process.

If an EBPR issue is present, the procedure will abort and an error identifier will be generated.

The procedure assesses the DPF soot load. If soot loading is too high to allow HC Dosing, the procedure will use elevated idle and the EBPR to reduce the soot load. The procedure will target a desulfation-specific desired cylinder head pressure differential. The procedure waits for several seconds before taking an average of the measured pressure differential. If the target is not met, an error identifier will be displayed, indicating EGR intake pressure is not responding.

If the pressure differential check passes, the procedure checks that the DPF intake temperature is above a minimum pass threshold. If the minimum temperature threshold is not met, an error identifier is displayed, indicating that the DPF intake temperature is too low. Once the system verification steps are complete, the procedure will continue to run for a set time to desulfate the DPF.

If the soot load is reduced sufficiently, the procedure assesses whether the system can generate the required SCR intake temperature. This temperature is required to remove any urea or sulfur from the aftertreatment. A higher DOC intake temperature than normal is targeted to ensure that light-off occurs the first time.

If the DOC intake temperature is reached, HC dosing will be initiated automatically. The procedure will check for adequate heat rise across the DOC during the HC dosing ignition phase. If the temperature rise is not sufficient, the procedure will perform the DPF desulfation procedure before attempting HC Dosing again. If the DOC fails to ignite again, the procedure will abort with an error identifier.

Note: If DPF desulfation had been previously performed due to high soot load, the test will abort immediately with an error identifier. HC dosing will not be attempted.

If the heat rise target is achieved, the procedure will continue to increase the amount of HC dosing. HC dosing will increase until the DPF intake temperature stabilizes at the target value of approximately 475° C (887° F).

If this part of the procedure is successful, HC dosing will continue until the required SCR intake temperature of 475° C (887° F) is achieved. The procedure then maintains this temperature for a set time to remove sulfur and/or urea deposits from the SCR catalyst.

Manual DPF Regeneration

Before performing this test, make sure that loads that can cause power fluctuations are inhibited. An example of a fluctuating load is air conditioning.

This test must be performed under the following conditions:

  • There are no related active diagnostic codes

  • The engine must be running

  • The engine must be under minimum load

  • Coolant must be at a minimum required temperature

If the required conditions are not maintained throughout the test, error identifiers will be displayed.

Once the pre-conditions are met, the EBPR will start to close until a target cylinder head pressure differential is achieved. If the target is not met, an error identifier will be displayed to indicate that EGR intake pressure is not responding. If the target pressure is achieved, the test will wait for the temperature to stabilize. The test will then check if the DPF intake temperature is above a minimum threshold. If the minimum temperature is not achieved, an error identifier will be displayed to indicate that DPF intake temperature is too low.

Once the system verification steps are complete, the test will monitor the soot load. If the soot has already reduced below the required level, the test will pass successfully. If the soot has not dropped below the required level, the test will monitor the soot reduction rate. If the rate is too slow, the test will send an error identifier. If the soot reduction rate is acceptable, the test will continue until the target soot level is achieved.

Aftertreatment Sulfation Recovery Procedure

Before performing this test, make sure that loads that can cause power fluctuations are inhibited. An example of a fluctuating load is air conditioning.

This test must be performed under the following conditions:

  • There are no related active diagnostic codes

  • The engine must be running

  • Engine speed must be sufficient for desulfation to occur

  • The engine must be under minimum load

  • Coolant must be at a minimum required temperature

If engine speed is not within the required range during warmup, the option to continue will be offered. If the test continues, a minimum coolant temperature must be achieved. If the target parameters are not met, error identifiers will be displayed.

Once the pre-conditions are met, the EBPR will start to close until a target cylinder head pressure differential is achieved. If the target is not met, an error identifier will be displayed to indicate that EGR intake pressure is not responding. If the target pressure is achieved, the test will wait for the temperature to stabilize. The test will then check if the DPF intake temperature is above a minimum threshold. If the minimum temperature is not achieved, an error identifier will be displayed to indicate that DPF intake temperature is too low.

Once the system verification steps are complete, the test will continue to run for a set time to desulfate the DPF. This test will run for up to an hour and a percent complete signal will be displayed to indicate progress.

Service Tool Error Identifiers

Error identifiers are displayed when an electronic service tool service test has failed. The error identifiers explain the reason for the service test failure. The service test error identifier may identify the failed component. For a list of error identifiers, refer to Troubleshooting, "Service Tool Error Identifiers". If necessary, refer to the troubleshooting guide for the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.

This histogram is populated when the engine system has calculated a condition in which high exhaust temperatures are present. A fault code for high exhaust temperature is not logged, but the engine will derate to protect the engine system. This situation is normal under most circumstances and no additional troubleshooting is necessary. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Exhaust Temperature is High" for additional information.


Illustration 20g03826928
There are certain engine conditions that risk turbocharger overspeed. The engine is calibrated and certified up to a certain altitude and ambient temperature limit. If the engine is operated outside this limit, the engine is more likely to experience overspeed of the turbo. This situation occurs because the turbo has to work harder to maintain the desired boost pressure. This situation is normal under most circumstances and no additional troubleshooting is necessary.

Throttle Mode Configuration

The throttle configuration screen allows the ECM to be configured with up to two channel inputs. The inputs can be a combination of three types of speed control input. The three types of speed control input are:

  • PWM throttle input providing a variable duty cycle input to control engine speed

  • Analog throttle input providing a variable voltage signal to control engine speed

  • Multi-Position Throttle Switch (MPTS) which uses up to four switch inputs giving a total of 16 combinations. Each switch combination can then be programmed with a desired engine speed, which can be selected by the operator.

The permitted throttle combinations are shown in the following table:

Table 1
Channel 1  Channel 2 
None  None 
PWM  None 
None  PWM 
PWM  PWM 
Analog  None 
None  Analog 
Analog  Analog

Note: The MPTS input can only be used on one channel.

There is also the option of using an Idle Validation Switch (IVS) on the analog throttle. This switch is used to confirm that the throttle pedal has been physically moved, before reacting to the analog speed demand signal. The IVS and software logic is designed to protect against signal faults which could cause unintended engine speed increases.

Programming each throttle input requires some technical knowledge of the throttle specification that is being used. Knowledge is required to program the specifications into the correct ECM parameter values.

Once the number of required modes and switches has been selected, each mode must be configured. Each mode is defined by the following selection:

  • Mode Number - (1-4)

  • Switch input 1 and 2 combinations to enable the mode

  • Enabled - For example, if only three modes are required then mode 4 would be set to "NO". If the switch combination was active for Mode 4, the ECM would display a fault code.

  • Rating number – This parameter allows any available ratings in the flash file to be selected. The specific rating information can be found in the main configuration screen under "Ratings".

  • Rated Speed – This parameter is configurable between defined limits in the ECM (for example – 1800 rpm to 2200 rpm).

  • High Idle – This parameter is configurable between 1800 rpm and 2800 rpm but also limited to 112% of the programmed rated speed.

  • Throttle Channel 1 Droop Value – This parameter is configurable between 0-10%.

  • Throttle Channel 2 Droop Value – This parameter is configurable between 0-10%.

  • TSC1 Droop Value – This parameter is configurable between 0-10%.

  • Governor Type – This parameter can be configured to "All Speed" governing or "Min Max" governing using the drop-down box.

Once the mode configuration has been set, the submit button must be clicked at the bottom of the page. The ECM power must be cycled from off to on.

The status of the mode switch inputs can be monitored on the status screen in the electronic service tool.

When this feature is installed, the number of maintenance cycle hours can be set. The ECM will then countdown these hours and flag an Event code and send a J1939 message once the cycle interval reaches 0.

This parameter can then be reset via the electronic service tool or over the CAN data link after the service has been completed.

The "PM1 Interval" is not applicable to this engine.
