Important Safety Information
Do not perform any procedures in this Troubleshooting Guide until you have read the Operation and Maintenance Manual and you understand this information. Use only proper tools and observe all precautions that pertain to the use of those tools. Failure to follow these procedures can result in personal injury. The following procedures should also be observed.Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools in order to perform these functions properly.Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this publication and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive.Overview
These engines are equipped with an electronic control system. The system consists of a computer, sensors, and software. The system performs these functions:
Control of the engine
Control of particulate emissions via the Clean Emission Module (CEM)
Applications control system interface
Fault detection and reportingElectronic Control System
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is a computer that controls the operation of the engine.The ECM contains a flash file. The flash file is the software for the ECM. The flash file contains the operating maps. The operating maps define the following characteristics of the engine:
Horsepower
Torque curves
Engine speed (rpm)Refer to Troubleshooting, "System Overview" for additional information on the electronic control system.Application Interface
The ECM interfaces with the machine via software and an electrical connector on the ECM. The software can be configured.The application control system provides inputs to the electrical connector on the ECM in order to indicate the status of switches. Correctly configure the ECM in order to interpret the inputs. The ECM provides outputs for the application control system via the electrical connector in order to control lamps, solenoids, and other devices. Correctly configure the ECM in order for the outputs to match the configuration of the application control system.Clean Emissions Module (CEM)
The CEM contains these components:Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) - A DPF is installed in the exhaust system. The DPF collects soot and ash from the engine exhaust.Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD) - The ARD provides additional heat in order to convert the soot in the DPF into gas. The ARD operates only when additional heat in the exhaust is needed.Software - Software in the ECM monitors the DPF and the ARD. The software controls the delivery of fuel, combustion air, and the spark to the ARD.Fault Detection and Reporting
The ECM monitors inputs from the sensors and inputs from the applications control system. Software in the ECM interprets the inputs. The software determines if the inputs are operating correctly. A diagnostic trouble code is activated when the
