LINK AS-SPRING 8W3589 - Caterpillar

The information from the sensors enables the Electronic Control Module (ECM) to control the engine as efficiently as possible over a wide range of operating conditions.The sensors also enable the module to activate alarms, impending shutdowns, and shutdowns in response to abnormal operation. The functions of the sensors are described below.

(12) Coolant temperature sensor
(13) Inlet manifold air temperature sensor
(14) Engine speed/timing sensor
(15) Detonation sensor Throttle differential pressure sensor (1) - This sensor monitors the pressure drop across the throttle valve.Compressor outlet pressure sensor (2) - This sensor monitors the pressure of the air/fuel mixture from the turbocharger compressor outlet.Compressor outlet temperature sensor (3) - This sensor monitors the temperature of the air/fuel mixture from the turbocharger compressor outlet.Coolant pressure sensor (outlet) (4) - A pressure switch is located at the outlet for the engine jacket water. If the outlet pressure is too low, the ECM will activate a shutdown.Emergency stop button (5) - Pressing this button causes a shutdown.Inlet manifold air pressure sensor (6) - This sensor is connected to the inlet manifold. The sensor monitors the absolute manifold pressure. Absolute pressure is the atmospheric pressure plus the gauge pressure. The information is used by the ECM to calculate the air flow. To observe the output value of the sensor, use Cat ET to view the "Inlet Manifold Air Pressure (abs)".Oil temperature sensor (7) - An oil temperature sensor measures the engine oil temperature. A high oil temperature will activate an alarm or a shutdown. The trip points
