Typical view of the ECM
(1) J1/P1 ECM connector
(2) J2/P2 ECM connectorThe ECM has two connectors. The J1/P1 connector (1) is a 70-pin connector, while the J2/P2 connector (2) is a 120-pin connector. Each pin provides a connection point for a signal interface for the ECM.Overview of the Electronic Control System
The electronic control system is designed to control the engine operation for optimum performance with minimal emissions.The ECM is the engine control computer for the electronic control system. The ECM provides the capacity for the input/output functions, the control functions, the data link communications, and the computational functionality for the system. This functionality is detailed below:Input/Output Functions
The ECM provides the following input functionality:The ECM relies on several different types of input devices in order to gather information that is related to the current state of engine operation. The ECM receives the status information from the input devices. The information is used to calculate the correct output action that is needed in order to control engine operation. These output actions are based on calculations that are made on cumulative data from other system components, software parameters, and information. The actions taken by the ECM are typically related to desired operation. The ECM utilizes switch inputs, sensor inputs, and data link communications to obtain input information from the engine components.The ECM provides the following output functions:
Power supply control for related components
Controller circuits for engine operation
Communications ports for the communication mediumThe ECM utilizes outputs as power supplies, high side ECM drivers (switch to supply circuits), and low side ECM drivers (switch to ground circuits). The ECM also utilizes data link communications to output command signals to other engine controllers.Control Functions
Control functions are typically commands that are derived internally by the ECM circuitry and software. Control functions are used in order to calculate the necessary effect on the signal status for the output circuits that control the engine operation. The ECM utilizes the output drivers and data link communications to implement control over engine operation.Data Link Communications
The ECM utilizes the CAN data link exclusively for data link communications on this engine. This data link adheres to SAE J1939 communication protocols for all data link communications.The CAN data link is used for communications between the ECM, controllers, and displays. The CAN data link is also used for communications with an electronic service tool.Computational Functionality
The computational functionality of the ECM is dedicated to all aspects of engine operation and engine monitoring. The ECM is continuously evaluating the current state of operation. The results are compared by the ECM to the desired state of operation. The ECM evaluates the difference between these two states in order to calculate the necessary control command signals. The ECM then modifies output signals in order to bring the current state of operation closer to the desired state of operation. The ECM also compares the current state of operation to an acceptable range of operation. If the status of any parameter is not within the acceptable range of operation, the ECM communicates the adverse condition to the operator.ECM Software
The ECM software is typically called a flash file. The flash file is a data file that is downloaded into the ECM. This data file provides the ECM with the software and the data that is needed to run the engine. Occasional updates to the flash file are provided by Caterpillar. The new software files can be downloaded from the Service Information System (SIS) web site. Use Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to download the flash file to the ECM.
