Electronic Controls
Electronic Control Module
The ECM consists of two main components, the control computer (hardware) and the flash file. The control computer consists of a microprocessor and of electronic circuitry. The flash file contains the engines operational characteristics. The operating maps influence the engines performance.Engine Governor
The engine ECM governs engine speed. The engine ECM and the flash file work together by controlling the amount of fuel that is delivered by the injectors. Desired engine rpm is determined by the throttle position sensor signal and by certain sensor readings. Diagnostic codes may derate the engine. Actual engine rpm is measured by the engine speed/timing sensor.Fuel Injection
The engine ECM controls the timing, the duration, and the pressure of the fuel that is injected. The engine ECM varies the signals to the fuel injectors. Fuel is injected only while an injector solenoid is energized by a 105 V signal from the engine ECM. The timing of the injection signal determines the engine timing. The length of the injection signal determines engine speed. By controlling the timing and duration of the 105 V signal, the ECM controls the engine speed.Cold Mode Operation
The engine ECM uses cold mode operation in order to reduce white smoke during engine warm-up. The engine ECM cuts out the injectors one at a time in order to determine if the cylinder is firing. If the cylinder is firing correctly, the engine ECM leaves the injector on. If the cylinder is not firing, the engine ECM will leave the injector turned off. This action will increase startability and this action will reduce warm-up time.Cold mode is activated whenever the engine coolant temperature falls below a predetermined value. Cold mode remains active until the engine has warmed or a time limit is exceeded.Rated Fuel Position
The rated fuel position is a limit that is based on the power rating of the engine. The rated fuel position is similar to the rack stops and the torque spring on a mechanically governed engine. The rated fuel position determines maximum power and torque values for a specific engine family and for a specific rating. The rated fuel position is programmed into the flash file.Block Diagram of Electronic Governor
