INTRODUCTION
The visual above shows the right side view of the 16 cylinder C175 engine in the
793F trucks. The C175 replaces the current 3516 Series engine that was used in
the 793D.
The C175 is a metric engine. Some of the component weights have increased, such
as the cylinder head, which is approximately 50 percent heavier than the 3500 and
will require a lifting device.
Care must be taken when working on or around the high pressure fuel system as
pressures can be as high as 180 MPa (26,100 psi).
Cleanliness during service is critical because the fuel system is very sensitive to
debris as compared to 3500 / 3600 products.
The following lists the key features for the C175 engine:
High pressure common rail fuel system--
Air to Air AfterCooler (ATAAC)--
Increased horsepower--
Two-piece single camshaft--
Electronic Unit Injectors (EUI)--

ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The C175 engine consists of input components, output components, and the Engine
ECM (1) to control the quality and the amount of fuel to efficiently operate the engine
within the emission requirements. The A4:E4 ECM has a 120 pin connector and a
70 pin connector.
The engine is equipped with both active and passive sensors which take pressure,
temperature, and speed / timing data from the engine systems and relay that
information to the Engine ECM. The Engine ECM processes the data and sends
corresponding output signals to the output components to control the engine
functions.

Based on the input signals, the Engine ECM (1) analyzes the input information and
energizes the electronic unit injectors (2) to control fuel delivery to the engine by
sending current to the coils on the electronic unit injectors. The Engine ECM sends
a PWM signal to the fuel control valve (FCV) assembly (3). The FCV controls the
output of the high pressure common rail pump. Also, the J1939 Local ControllerArea
Network (CAN) Data Link (4) is used to send data between the machine ECMs (5)
and the VIMS modules (6).
The Engine ECM sends voltage signals to the following component relays:
ether aid relay (7)--
fuel priming pump relay (8)--
prelube pump relay (9)--
The following output voltages are sent to separate sensors:
- +12 VDC (10)--
- +8 VDC (11)--
- +5 VDC (12)--
The CAN Data Link can be recognized by the shielded cable and the shielded
connectors. Inside is a twisted pair of copper wires with a 120 ohm resistor on each
end. The CAN Data Link is used for high speed transmission of data between the
ECMs.

Fuel injection and system monitoring are controlled by the A4:E4 Engine ECM (1)
which is located at the front of the engine. The Engine ECM is equipped with a 120
pin connector (J2) and a 70 pin connector (J1).
The Engine ECM responds to engine inputs by sending a signal to the appropriate
output component to initiate an action. For example, the Engine ECM receives a high
coolant temperature signal. The Engine ECM interprets the input signal, evaluates
the current operating status, and derates the fuel supply under load.
The Engine ECM receives three different types of input signals:
1. Switch input: Provides the signal line to battery, ground, or open.
2. PWM input: Provides the signal line with a rectangular wave of a specific
frequency and a varying positive duty cycle.
3. Speed signal: Provides the signal line with either a repeating, fixed voltage
level pattern signal, or a sine wave of varying level and frequency.

SERV1869 - 09/09 Module 3 - Engine-15-

The Engine ECM has three types of output drivers:
1. ON/OFF driver: Provides the output device with a signal level of +Battery
voltage (ON) or less than one Volt (OFF).
2. PWM driver: Provides the output device with a rectangular wave of fixed
frequency and a varying positive duty cycle.
3. Controlled current output driver: The ECM will energize the solenoid
with pull-up current for a specific duration and then decrease the level
to hold-in current for a specific duration of the on time. The initial higher
amperage gives the actuator rapid response and the decreased level is
sufficient to hold the solenoid in the correct position. An added benefit is
an increase in the life of the solenoid.
Engine ECM has built-in diagnostic capabilities. As the Engine ECM detects fault
conditions in the power train system, the ECM logs events in memory and diagnostic
codes for troubleshooting and displays them through Cat ET.
The atmospheric pressure sensor (2) is located in the control panel next to
the Engine ECM. The function of the atmospheric pressure sensor is to supply
information relative to high altitude back to the Engine ECM along with calculated
gauge pressure for all the pressure sensors to the ECM. Losing the signal from the
atmospheric pressure sensor will initiate a 10% derate and the parameter will be set
to a default value that is stored in the ECM.
Normally, at 0 rpm and 2 seconds after the engine starts, the Engine ECM reads
each pressure sensor to ensure the pressure is within tolerance of a specified value.
If the value is within tolerance, the Engine ECM compares the value of the pressure
sensors with the atmospheric sensor and assigns a specific offset value to each
sensor for calibration.
NOTE: The signal from the atmospheric pressure sensor is used by the Engine
ECM to calculate a number of pressure measurements in most electronic
engines. The signal from the atmospheric pressure sensor is compared to
the signal from the other engine pressure sensors to calibrate the pressure
sensors. When the Engine ECM is powered up, the ECM uses the signal from
the atmospheric pressure sensor as a reference point for calibration of the other
pressure sensors on the engine.

CAN Networks
This illustration shows the signal paths for the Controller Area Network (CAN) for the
“F” Series trucks. The signal paths are a common set of signal wires connected to
multiple controllers. The common set of signal wires allows many different pieces of
information to be shared between many different devices over a few signal wires.
The paths are two twisted shielded wires with a 120 ohm terminal resistor (1) at
each end of the network. The terminal resistors prevent electrical interference
on the CAN Network. The designation of the CAN wires are CAN + and CAN -
with a third connection denoted as CAN_SHLD (shield). Two terminal resistors
are located near the Engine ECM (2); one resistor is installed near the electronic
thermostat (E-Stat) (3), and one resistor is installed near the fuel control valve
(FCV) (4). The E-Stat is located between the engine and the radiator.
The truck chassis has one data link. The Engine ECM has two data links: 1) Global
CAN, which has paths with the Machine ECMs and external components (Advisor,
E-Stat, and the Service Connector); and, 2) the Engine ECM which is connected to
the fuel control valve (FCV) through the Local CAN data link.
The 120 pin connector for the Engine ECM contains the Local CAN Data Link. The
70 pin Engine ECM connector contains the Global CAN Data Link.

Engine Position Sensing
Engine position sensing is the function that determines the actual crankshaft and
camshaft positions versus time so that engine speed can be calculated. Engine
position sensing also allows for the delivery of synchronous outputs, including fuel
injection timing and ignition timing. Engine position sensing is a critical process for
accurate fuel delivery, reliability of operation, and emission control performance.
The crankshaft speed / timing sensor connector (1) is bolted to a cover (2) on
the rear left side of the engine, behind the starter (not shown). The crankshaft
speed / timing sensor (3) is located behind the cover. The speed / timing sensor
sends a fixed voltage level signal to the Engine ECM indicating the engine speed,
direction, and timing. The crankshaft sensor is the primary speed / timing sensor
reporting to the Engine ECM to determine engine speed and crankshaft position.
The speed sensor detects the reference for engine speed and timing from a unique
pattern on the respective gear. Normally, the crankshaft speed / timing sensor
identifies the timing during starting and determines when the No. 1 cylinder is at the
top of the stroke. Once the timing is established, the crankshaft timing sensor is
used to relay the engine speed and the camshaft sensor signal is ignored.
If the engine is running and the signal from the crankshaft is lost, a slight change in
performance is noticed during change over to the camshaft speed / timing sensor.
The sensor adjustment is preset so no adjustment is necessary.

In case of a crankshaft speed / timing sensor failure, the Engine ECM follows the
following process:
a crankshaft sensor diagnostic code is logged--
the Engine ECM switches to the primary camshaft speed / timing sensor--
the Engine ECM uses the stored rotation as the engine rotation if the sensor--
fails during a pattern lock
The crankshaft speed / timing sensor serves four functions:
engine speed measurement--
engine timing measurement--
TDC location and cylinder number identification--
reverse rotation protection--
The crankshaft speed / timing sensor is not adjustable.
If the engine is running for three seconds and the pattern from the timing ring is
lost for two seconds, the Engine ECM will log a Diagnostic Code for the crankshaft
speed / timing sensor.

The C175 has two speed / timing sensors that indicate camshaft speed. The primary
camshaft speed / timing sensor (1) is used to synchronize fuel delivery with the
engine cycle and provides a backup if the crankshaft speed / timing sensor fails. If
the crankshaft speed / timing sensor fails, the Engine ECM will use the primary
camshaft speed / timing sensor to keep the engine running, but the fuel delivery may
be less accurate. The speed of the camshaft target wheel is half that of the crankshaft
gear.
The secondary camshaft speed / timing sensor (2) is a backup to the primary
camshaft speed / timing sensor when the primary sensor has failed. The sensor
adjustment is preset so no adjustment is necessary.

The top illustration shows the engine timing gear train. At engine start-up, the
crankshaft speed / timing sensor (1) synchronizes with the primary camshaft
speed / timing sensor (2) and the secondary camshaft speed / timing sensor (3). The
crankshaft gear (4) rotates two times for every one rotation of the camshaft gear (5).
The crankshaft gear and the camshaft gear are the same size with an equal amount
of teeth.
The idler gear (6) is a combination gear with the larger gear having twice as many
teeth as the smaller gear. The larger gear is driven by the crankshaft and the smaller
idler gear drives the camshaft gear.
When the engine is cranked, the crankshaft sensor looks for the notch (7) cut into one
tooth of the crankshaft gear to determine position. When the Engine ECM locates
the signal from the sensor by detecting the notch, the Engine ECM then looks for a
signal from the cam sensor.
When the cam sensor locates the notch (8) cut into one tooth of the camshaft gear,
and after the crankshaft sensor locates a notch, the Engine ECM then waits for a
second notch to verify the pattern. The Engine ECM sends the signal for a more
accurate injection cycle, if rail pressure is present.
The bottom illustration shows a notch (9), cut into one of the gear teeth, that is used
to determine engine position.

The C175 engines are electronically timed and no longer require the timing calibration
probe for speed / timing calibrations. The Engine ECM uses inputs from all three
engine speed / timing sensors to assist in calculating more accurate timing within the
software during engine start-up.
The software application in the Engine ECM compares the tooth angle between the
crank and cam gears. The Engine ECM looks for a stable rpm above 700 rpm. The
revolutions per minute must be ± 5 rpm for one second to be considered stable.
The Engine ECM takes fifty samples of the leading edge of the camshaft teeth angle
position and compares each to the nearest crankshaft tooth. The ECM compares the
measured difference to the theoretical tooth difference of each sample, and averages
the tooth errors. This average difference between the camshaft actual position and
the camshaft theoretical position determines the offset angle. The offset angle is
used by the ECM for calibration. Timing calibration is performed at each engine start
after an ECM power cycle.

Crankcase Pressure Sensor
The crankcase pressure sensor (1) is used to measure the pressure in the crankcase
and is located on the right side of the engine below the intake manifold (2). The
crankcase pressure sensor detects impending piston seizures, and indicates cylinder
blow-by.
The crankcase pressure sensor will initiate a Level 1 Warning when the crankcase
pressure reaches 4 kPa (0.6 psi).

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
This illustration shows the cooling system on a 793F truck with standard retarding.
The coolant pump (1) pulls coolant from the radiator (2) and sends the coolant
through the engine oil coolers (3) to the engine block (4).
After leaving the block, the coolant flows through the turbos (5), into one return line,
and to the shunt tank (6) of the radiator. The coolant from the block also flows to
the power train oil cooler (7), the steering / fan oil cooler (8), and then through the
rectangular front and rear brake oil coolers (9) to the Electronic Thermostat (E-stat)
(10). Depending on the temperature of the coolant, the E-stat directs the coolant
to the radiator or through the bypass line (11) and back to the inlet of the coolant
pump.
The coolant pump outlet temperature sensor (12) sends a signal to the temperature
control module (13) on the E-Stat.
The engine coolant block inlet pressure sensor (14) and the engine coolant block
outlet temperature sensor (15) send signals directly to the Engine ECM (16). The
engine coolant block outlet temperature sensor is used as one of the key target
temperatures for the hydraulic fan system.
The coolant level sensor (17) sends a signal to the Engine ECM indicating the
coolant level.
NOTE: This illustration shows the majority of the coolant bypassing the
radiator.

The coolant pump outlet temperature sensor (1) measures the temperature of the
coolant flowing into the engine oil coolers (2) and sends a signal to the temperature
control module (3).
As the coolant temperature increases, the temperature control module sends a
current to the stepper motor (4) to move the piston (5), which closes the coolant
bypass (6) and allows more coolant flow through the radiator (7). As the coolant
temperature decreases, the temperature control module sends a current to the
stepper motor to move the piston, which opens the coolant bypass and allows less
coolant flow to the radiator.
At engine start-up, the stepper motor / piston position needs to be reset. The stepper
motor drives the piston to the configured stop. As the piston reaches the stop, a
ratcheting sound occurs indicating that the piston has hit the stop.
NOTE: If the engine shuts down and is restarted in less than 4 minutes, the
stepper motor / piston position does not reset, so there will be no ratcheting
noise.

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
This illustration shows the oil flow through the C175 engine. Oil is drawn from the
engine sump (1) through a screen (2) by the engine oil pump (3). The oil pump
sends oil to the pressure regulator (4), which directs oil to the engine oil coolers (5)
or through the engine oil cooler bypass valve (6) to the engine sump if the oil pressure
is too high.
Oil flows from the oil coolers or bypass valve to the engine oil filters (7). The unfiltered
oil pressure sensor (8) and the oil pressure sensor (filtered oil) (9) calculate the
restriction in the oil filters.
From the engine oil filters, the oil enters the engine block and flows through the
main oil galley to lubricate the internal engine components and the turbos (10). The
filtered oil is also directed to the high pressure fuel pump (11) for lubrication.
If the engine oil pressure increases above approximately 550 kPa (80 psi), the
pressure in the signal line from the oil galley acts on the top of the regulator and
moves the regulator down against spring force. The regulator directs oil flow to the
sump.
Located in the front section of the pan is the scavenge pump (12). The scavenge
pump draws oil from the rear pan section and returns it to the main sump.

The engine oil pump sends oil through the coolers, below the engine through the
lower engine oil tube (1), and into the engine oil filter base (2). Filtered oil flows into
the engine block through the upper engine oil tube (3) and oil filters (4).
Engine oil flowing into the block is monitored by the engine oil temperature
sensor (5) and the filtered oil pressure sensor (6). The filtered oil pressure sensor
monitors the pressure from the discharge side of the filter base and works together
with the unfiltered oil pressure sensor (7) to determine engine oil filter blockage.
The unfiltered oil pressure sensor monitors the oil pressure at the inlet of the filter
group.
The filtered oil pressure sensor initiates a plugged oil filter Level 1 Warning, with a
warning sent to the Advisor panel to advise the operator. The filtered oil pressure
sensor data that is sent to the Engine ECM is also used as the determining pressure
for the low engine oil pressure event control.
The engine oil temperature sensor is used to monitor the engine oil temperature for

Engine Prelube
The prelube system, which is now standard, consists of the prelube pump / motor (1)
and the prelube electric motor relay (2). The prelube pump is a gear pump which
draws oil from the engine reservoir to lubricate the components in the engine block
before startup.
The Engine ECM sends a signal to the prelube relay which transfers power to the
prelube motor. The prelube motor drives the prelube pump.
The prelube system has four states:
prelube is OFF or failed--
prelube is ready to start or prelube is continuous--
prelube is waiting for a pressure gauge value of 6 kPa (1 psi)--
prelube is disabled or not installed.--
The prelube pump will run for 45 seconds or the pump will supply enough flow for
the prelube system to build 48 kPa (7 psi) before ending the cycle. If the prelube
pressure decreases below approximately 48 kPa (7 psi), the Engine ECM logs an
event and will initiate a Level 3 Shutdown.

ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
This illustration shows a block diagram of the fuel system. The fuel system consists
of a low pressure side and a high pressure side. The high pressure side components
are in the blue box.
In the low pressure fuel system, the fuel transfer pump (1) pulls fuel from the fuel
tank (2) through the primary fuel filters / water separators (3). During startup, the
electric fuel priming pump (4) is also activated.
Fuel then flows through the secondary fuel filters (5) and tertiary fuel filter (6) into the
monoblock (7) and to the high pressure fuel pump (8).
The low pressure fuel delivery system is regulated by the fuel pressure regulating
valve (9).
In the high pressure fuel system, fuel flows from the monoblock to the FCV (10)
which controls the output of the high pressure pump.
The high pressure pump sends fuel through the fuel rail to the injectors (11). From
the injectors, a minimal amount of bypass fuel flows back through the monoblock to
the fuel tank.

Low Pressure Fuel System
This illustration shows the fuel flow and the components in the low pressure fuel
system.
The secondary fuel filters (1) and the tertiary fuel filter (2) are equipped with purge
lines (3) that are connected to the tertiary filter base. The purge lines allow minimal
fuel flow back to the tank (5) through the regulating valve (10) to purge air from the
low pressure fuel supply.
The secondary fuel filter base is equipped with a filtered pressure sensor (6) and
an unfiltered pressure sensor (7) to determine the restriction in the secondary fuel
filters.
Thefueltransfertemperaturesensor(8),alsolocatedonthesecondaryfuelfilterbase,
sends a signal to the Engine ECM (9) indicating low pressure fuel temperature.
At approximately 550 kPa (80 psi) the regulating valve (10) begins to open, and if fuel
pressure exceeds 650 kPa (94 psi), fuel is directed through the return line to the fuel
tank. Installed on the return to tank line is a check valve (11) which blocks tank fuel
from returning to the monoblock. The low pressure fuel system must be at least
350 kPa (51 psi) to sufficiently supply the high pressure fuel system.

The primary fuel filters / water separators (1) are located between the fuel tank and
the fuel transfer pump on the back of the fuel tank.
Located at the bottom of the left filter is the water-in-fuel sensor (2) which sends a
signal to the Engine ECM when water is detected in the fuel.
If a high amount of water in the fuel is detected, the Engine ECM will send a Level 1
Warning to the VIMS module to inform the operator of the water level in the fuel.
The fuel level sensor (not shown), located at the bottom of fuel tank, monitors the
fuel depth in the tank.
The water-in-fuel sensor consists of two stainless steel pins enclosed in a plastic
housing. The pins are connected electrically by a resistor. The probe functions by
providing an output resistance, which is a combination of the fluid resistance and the
internal sensor resistor when a signal is applied.
With an applied signal and the probes exposed to fuel, the probe will provide a
resistance for that fluid (fuel). When water enters the fuel in the filter, the pins are
exposed to the water and the probe will provide a parallel resistance for the fluid (fuel
with water).
The sensor uses these resistance values to determine the presence of water in the
fuel and provides electrical signals to the Engine ECM.

The ultrasonic fuel level sensor determines the fuel level by calculating the amount
of time sound takes to reflect between the bottom of the float (1) and the
sensor (2).
The higher the fuel level in the tank, the more time it takes for the sound to reflect
back to the sensor.
The lower the fuel level, the less time it takes for the sound to be reflected back to
the sensor.
The fuel level sensor is monitored by the Chassis ECM which sends a signal to the
Advisor panel. The Advisor panel then provides a signal to the analog type fuel level
gauge in the instrument cluster.
The performance screen in the Advisor panel also displays a digital readout showing
the percentage of fuel remaining.
The Advisor panel will alert the operator with a Level 1 Warning when the fuel level
reaches 15% (18.5% duty cycle) of the fuel tank capacity for 120 seconds.
A Level 2S Warning will be generated when the fuel level reaches 10% (14% duty
cycle) of the fuel tank capacity for 120 seconds. The fuel tank should be filled if the
Level 2S Warning is generated. The injectors can be damaged if they are starved of
fuel, due to lack of cooling and lubrication provided by the fuel.

exists for a two-minute duration, the Engine ECM logs a Level 1 Warning (1).
After a five-minute duration of a 124 kPa (18 psi) pressure differential, a Level 2
Warning (2) derate of 17.5% is initiated. After one additional second, another 17.5%
derate will be added to the initial derate, totaling 35%.

High Pressure Fuel System
The high pressure fuel system requires special handling to ensure personnel safety
and proper function of the components. The system contains spherical ball and
conical sealing joints. The system is designed to operate at approximately 180 MPa
(26,100 psi) fuel pressure with a system relief of 205 MPa (29,700 psi).
Before opening a high pressure fuel system line or removing components, ensure
that the fuel pressure is relieved or purged. Connect Cat ET and observe the fuel
pressure. When fuel pressure decreases below 1000 kPa (145 psi), wait 15 minutes
before opening the high pressure lines.
Be aware that the fuel temperature may be warm enough to cause a burn to the
skin.
Be prepared to collect and contain all fluids during service procedures.
Keep all parts protected from contamination.
NOTE: The plastic bag that is shown has a Caterpillar® part number and is fuel
breakdown resistant. Refer to the Special Publication, NENG2500, “Caterpillar
Tools and Shop Products Guide” for tools and supplies to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations
and mandates.

pump fuel flow, the inner spool (1) with the triangle shaped throttling valve rotates
upward.
As the inner spool rotates upward, the throttling valve opening increases and directs
additional fuel flow to the high pressure pump.
Fuel flows through the throttling valve and metered fuel flow passes into the center

flows from the monoblock (1) to the FCV (2).
The FCV directs fuel flow to the fuel pump pistons. The pistons are driven by the
lobes on the shaft. There are two lobes for each piston so there are two compression
strokes for each shaft revolution.
As the pistons move down, fuel is drawn into the barrels. As the roller for the pistons
moves up on the lobe, the fuel is pushed out to the common fuel passage. Fuel exits
the pump at the outlet (3) and flows to the high pressure fuel rail.

Fuel from the high pressure rail (1) enters the flow limiter (2) and flows around the
outside of the piston (3) through the quill tube (4) to the injector (5). The flow limiter
prevents over fueling of the cylinder. If an injector has excessive leakage, the
increased flow acting on the bottom of the piston from the high pressure fuel rail will
cause the piston to move up against spring force. As the piston moves up, less fuel
is sent through the quill tube to the injector.
The high pressure fuel rail system contains spherical ball and conical sealing
joints (6).
Double wall tubing (bottom left illustration) is designed to hold the high pressure fuel.

The Engine ECM receives the data from both sensors and initiates a warning, a
derate, or a shutdown using the sensor with the highest temperature.
If either temperature sensor reads 805° C (1481° F) or above, the Engine ECM
sends a Level 3 Shutdown to the VIMS module, alarming the operator to SAFELY
shutdown the engine.
If a failure is detected in either the left or right exhaust temperature sensor circuits,
the Engine ECM will default to the maximum derate value of 25%. An exhaust
temperature derate occurrence will log an Engine Event in the Engine ECM. The

This illustration shows the air flow within the cylinder head. The C175 cross flow
design is a change in the air flow through the head, improving performance, power
density, and efficiency.
Air enters the intake manifold through the intake passage (1) and flows into the
cylinder. From the cylinder, exhaust air flows out through the exhaust passage (2)
and into the exhaust manifold.
The cross flow cylinder head provides separation between both the intake and
exhaust ports. The taller head has an increased valve lift of 22 mm (.866 inch)
compared to 18 mm (.71 inch) on the 3524 engine. The improved air flow enables a
greater amount of air in and out of the engine.
The intake and exhaust passages are rounded which decreases air restriction and
increases the air movement. The exhaust passage follows the same type curve
as the intake passage. The valves and passages are precisely rotated to provide
excellent air flow characteristics.

Care must be taken when working on or around the high pressure fuel system as pressures can be as high as 180 MPa (26,100 psi). Cleanliness during service is critical because the fuel system is very sensitive to debris as compared to 3500 / 3600 products.

    SERV1869 - 09/09Module 3 - Engine-14- © 2009 Caterpillar Inc. Fuel injection and system monitoring are controlled by the A4:E4 Engine ECM (1) which is located at the front of the engine. The Engine ECM is equipped with a 120 pin connector (J2) and a 70 pin connector (J1). The Engine ECM responds to engine inputs by sending a signal to the appropriate output component to initiate an action. For example, the Engine ECM receives a high coolant temperature signal. The Engine ECM interprets the input signal, evaluates the current operating status, and derates the fuel supply under load. The Engine ECM receives three different types of input signals: 1. Switch input: Provides the signal line to battery, ground, or open. 2. PWM input: Provides the signal line with a rectangular wave of a specific frequency and a varying positive duty cycle. 3. Speed signal: Provides the signal line with either a repeating, fixed voltage level pattern signal, or a sine wave of varying level and frequency. • Front of engine: Engine ECM1.

    SERV1869 - 09/09Module 3 - Engine-15- © 2009 Caterpillar Inc. The Engine ECM has three types of output drivers: 1. ON/OFF driver: Provides the output device with a signal level of +Battery voltage (ON) or less than one Volt (OFF). 2. PWM driver: Provides the output device with a rectangular wave of fixed frequency and a varying positive duty cycle. 3. Controlled current output driver: The ECM will energize the solenoid with pull-up current for a specific duration and then decrease the level to hold-in current for a specific duration of the on time. The initial higher amperage gives the actuator rapid response and the decreased level is sufficient to hold the solenoid in the correct position. An added benefit is an increase in the life of the solenoid. Engine ECM has built-in diagnostic capabilities. As the Engine ECM detects fault conditions in the power train system, the ECM logs events in memory and diagnostic codes for troubleshooting and displays them through Cat ET. The atmospheric pressure sensor (2) is located in the control panel next to the Engine ECM. The function of the atmospheric pressure sensor is to supply information relative to high altitude back to the Engine ECM along with calculated gauge pressure for all the pressure sensors to the ECM. Losing the signal from the atmospheric pressure sensor will initiate a 10% derate and the parameter will be set to a default value that is stored in the ECM. Normally, at 0 rpm and 2 seconds after the engine starts, the Engine ECM reads each pressure sensor to ensure the pressure is within tolerance of a specified value. If the value is within tolerance, the Engine ECM compares the value of the pressure sensors with the atmospheric sensor and assigns a specific offset value to each sensor for calibration. NOTE: The signal from the atmospheric pressure sensor is used by the Engine ECM to calculate a number of pressure measurements in most electronic engines. The signal from the atmospheric pressure sensor is compared to the signal from the other engine pressure sensors to calibrate the pressure sensors. When the Engine ECM is powered up, the ECM uses the signal from the atmospheric pressure sensor as a reference point for calibration of the other pressure sensors on the engine.

The signal paths are a common set of signal wires connected to multiple controllers. The common set of signal wires allows many different pieces of information to be shared between many different devices over a few signal wires. The paths are two twisted shielded wires with a 120 ohm terminal resistor (1) at each end of the network. The terminal resistors prevent electrical interference on the CAN Network. The designation of the CAN wires are CAN + and CAN - with a third connection denoted as CAN_SHLD (shield). Two terminal resistors are located near the Engine ECM (2); one resistor is installed near the electronic thermostat (E-Stat) (3), and one resistor is installed near the fuel control valve (FCV) (4). The E-Stat is located between the engine and the radiator. The truck chassis has one data link. The Engine ECM has two data links: 1) Global CAN, which has paths with the Machine ECMs and external components (Advisor, E-Stat, and the Service Connector); and, 2) the Engine ECM which is connected to the fuel control valve (FCV) through the Local CAN data link.

Engine Position Sensing Engine position sensing is the function that determines the actual crankshaft and camshaft positions versus time so that engine speed can be calculated. Engine position sensing also allows for the delivery of synchronous outputs, including fuel injection timing and ignition timing. Engine position sensing is a critical process for accurate fuel delivery, reliability of operation, and emission control performance. The crankshaft speed / timing sensor connector (1) is bolted to a cover (2) on the rear left side of the engine, behind the starter (not shown). The crankshaft speed / timing sensor (3) is located behind the cover. The speed / timing sensor sends a fixed voltage level signal to the Engine ECM indicating the engine speed, direction, and timing. The crankshaft sensor is the primary speed / timing sensor reporting to the Engine ECM to determine engine speed and crankshaft position. The speed sensor detects the reference for engine speed and timing from a unique pattern on the respective gear. Normally, the crankshaft speed / timing sensor identifies the timing during starting and determines when the No. 1 cylinder is at the top of the stroke. Once the timing is established, the crankshaft timing sensor is used to relay the engine speed and the camshaft sensor signal is ignored. If the engine is running and the signal from the crankshaft is lost, a slight change in performance is noticed during change over to the camshaft speed / timing sensor. The sensor adjustment is preset so no adjustment is necessary. • Left side of engine: Crankshaft speed / timing1. sensor connector Cover2. Crankshaft speed / timing3. sensor 18_1 18_2 12 3

The idler gear (6) is a combination gear with the larger gear having twice as many teeth as the smaller gear. The larger gear is driven by the crankshaft and the smaller idler gear drives the camshaft gear. When the engine is cranked, the crankshaft sensor looks for the notch (7) cut into one tooth of the crankshaft gear to determine position. When the Engine ECM locates the signal from the sensor by detecting the notch, the Engine ECM then looks for a signal from the cam sensor. When the cam sensor locates the notch (8) cut into one tooth of the camshaft gear, and after the crankshaft sensor locates a notch, the Engine ECM then waits for a second notch to verify the pattern. The Engine ECM sends the signal for a more accurate injection cycle, if rail pressure is present.

The Engine ECM uses inputs from all three engine speed / timing sensors to assist in calculating more accurate timing within the software during engine start-up. The software application in the Engine ECM compares the tooth angle between the crank and cam gears. The Engine ECM looks for a stable rpm above 700 rpm. The revolutions per minute must be ± 5 rpm for one second to be considered stable. The Engine ECM takes fifty samples of the leading edge of the camshaft teeth angle position and compares each to the nearest crankshaft tooth. The ECM compares the measured difference to the theoretical tooth difference of each sample, and averages the tooth errors. This average difference between the camshaft actual position and the camshaft theoretical position determines the offset angle. The offset angle is used by the ECM for calibration.

The water-in-fuel sensor consists of two stainless steel pins enclosed in a plastic housing. The pins are connected electrically by a resistor. The probe functions by providing an output resistance, which is a combination of the fluid resistance and the internal sensor resistor when a signal is applied. With an applied signal and the probes exposed to fuel, the probe will provide a resistance for that fluid (fuel). When water enters the fuel in the filter, the pins are exposed to the water and the probe will provide a parallel resistance for the fluid (fuel with water).

If a failure is detected in either the left or right exhaust temperature sensor circuits, the Engine ECM will default to the maximum derate value of 25%. An exhaust temperature derate occurrence will log an Engine Event in the Engine ECM. The Engine ECM will not derate the engine if a turbine inlet sensor is faulty. • Top front of engine: Left turbine inlet temperature1. sensor Right turbine inlet2. temperature sensor 68_1 1 2

In this illustration, 0% engine derate equates to a temperature of 725º C (1337º F) for less than 5 seconds. Whenthehighesttemperatureofeithertherightorleftturbineinletsensortemperature rises above 725º C (1337º F) for a period of 5 seconds, the percentage of power derate will increase by 2%. This will continue in 2% increments with each increment lasting 5 seconds until the temperature drops below 725º C (1337º F) or the maximum derate of 25% is reached. If the condition reoccurs and the Engine ECM has not been powered down, the percentage of derate will be the same as the last derate. • Turbine inlet temperature derates • 0% derate • 20% maximum derate 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 (1) Time (Sec) TURBINE INLET TEMPERATURE DERATE(2)EngineDerate(%) 40 45 50 55 60 65 24 26 69_1

The left air intake manifold temperature sensor (2) is located in the intake tube on the left side of the engine. The Engine ECM monitors the intake manifold temperature to prevent potential damaging conditions from high intake air temperatures, which can cause over fueling and high exhaust temperatures. A high intake temperature Level 1 Warning can be logged if the air temperature is at 80° C (176 ° F). A high intake temperature Level 2 Derate will be initiated if the air temperature in the intake manifold continues to rise above 90° C (194° F). The left intake manifold pressure sensor (3) is located in the intake tube on the left side of the engine. The right intake manifold pressure sensor (4) is located in the intake tube on the right side of the engine. The input data from the pressure sensors is used by the Engine ECM to electronically control the air fuel ratio. The ECM can log a high intake manifold pressure event and a low intake manifold pressure event. • Intake tubes at front of engine: Right air intake manifold1. temperature sensor Left air intake manifold2. temperature sensor Left intake manifold pressure3. sensor Right intake manifold4. pressure sensor 70_1 70_2 1 3 4 2

The inlet pressure sensors measure the air pressure at each individual turbo compressor inlet. The compressor inlet pressure sensor reads the highest inlet restriction and initiates a warning or derates the engine. The derates will increase as the restriction increases. • Compressor inlet pressure sensors (arrows) 71_1 71_2

    SERV1869 - 09/09Module 3 - Engine-72- © 2009 Caterpillar Inc. Each compressor inlet pressure sensor measures the restriction of the particular air filter. The Engine ECM will initiate a Level 2 Warning when one of the sensors reads a pressure greater than 7.5 kPa (1.1 psi). The Engine ECM will also initiate a Level 2 Derate of 2% when one of the sensors reads a pressure greater than 10 kPa (1.5 psi). The Engine ECM will send a signal to the VIMS module with the derate information. For every 1 kPa (0.15 psi) of additional restriction, the derate map will increase by 2% up to 10%. • Level 2 Derate • 10% maximum derate (2)EngineDerate(%) COMPRESSOR INLET PRESSURE RESTRICTION DERATE 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 (1) Inlet Restriction (kPa) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 72_1

    SERV1869 - 09/09Module 3 - Engine-73- © 2009 Caterpillar Inc. This illustration shows the air flow within the cylinder head. The C175 cross flow design is a change in the air flow through the head, improving performance, power density, and efficiency. Air enters the intake manifold through the intake passage (1) and flows into the cylinder. From the cylinder, exhaust air flows out through the exhaust passage (2) and into the exhaust manifold. The cross flow cylinder head provides separation between both the intake and exhaust ports. The taller head has an increased valve lift of 22 mm (.866 inch) compared to 18 mm (.71 inch) on the 3524 engine. The improved air flow enables a greater amount of air in and out of the engine. The intake and exhaust passages are rounded which decreases air restriction and increases the air movement. The exhaust passage follows the same type curve as the intake passage. The valves and passages are precisely rotated to provide excellent air flow characteristics. • Sectional view of cylinder head: Intake passage1. Exhaust passage2. 73_1 12

A Pressurizer Assembly (1) is required at each filter in the section of the intake system being tested. One of the pressurizer assemblies includes a regulator (2) to adjust pressure and flow. The other pressurizer assembly is plugged to block air flow out of the remaining filter. When the air system is pressurized, soap and water is used to detect any leaks as shown in the bottom right illustration. • Air leak detection: Pressurizer assembly1. Regulator2.
