(12) Coolant Temperature Sensor The engine is designed for electronic control. The engine has an Electronic Control Module (ECM), a fuel rail pump and electronic unit injectors. All of these items are electronically controlled. There are also a number of engine sensors. Turbocharged engines can be equipped with an electronically controlled wastegate for the turbocharger. The ECM controls the engine operating parameters through the software within the ECM and the inputs from the various sensors. The software contains parameters that control the engine operation. The parameters include all of the operating maps and customer selected parameters.The electronic system consists of the ECM, the engine sensors and inputs from the parent machine. The ECM is the computer. The flash file is the software for the computer. The flash file defines the following characteristics of the engine:
Engine power
Torque curves
Engine speed (rpm)
Engine Noise
Smoke and EmissionsThe ECM determines the injection timing, the amount of fuel that is delivered to the cylinders and the intake manifold pressure if an electronically controlled wastegate is installed on the turbocharger. These decisions are based on the actual conditions and the desired conditions at any given time.Engine Speed Governor
The governor has software that compares the desired engine speed to the actual engine speed. The actual engine speed is determined through the primary speed/timing sensor and the secondary speed/timing sensor. If the desired engine speed is greater than the actual engine speed, the governor injects more fuel in order to increase engine speed. If the actual engine speed is greater than the desired engine speed, the governor limits the amount of fuel that is supplied to the electronic unit injectors in order to reduce engine speed.Timing Considerations
Fuel injection timing is determined by the ECM after considering input from the following components:
Engine coolant temperature sensor
The sensor for the intake manifold air temperature
The sensor for the intake manifold pressure
Speed/timing sensors
Throttle position sensorAt engine start-up, the ECM determines the top center position of the number 1 cylinder from the speed/timing sensors. The ECM determines when fuel injection should occur relative to the top center position. The ECM optimizes engine performance by control of each of the electronic unit injectors so that the required amount of fuel is injected at the precise point of the engine's cycle. The electronic unit injectors are supplied with high pressure fuel from the fuel rail. The ECM also provides the signal to the solenoid in the fuel rail pump. The solenoid in the fuel rail pump controls a valve in the fuel rail pump. This valve controls the pressure in the fuel rail. Fuel that is not required for the engine is diverted away from the fuel rail pump back to the fuel tank.The ECM adjusts injection timing and fuel pressure for the best engine performance, the best fuel economy and the best control of exhaust emissions.Fuel Injection
The flash file inside the ECM sets certain limits on the amount of fuel that can be injected.The Fuel Ratio Control Limit is a limit that is based on intake manifold pressure and engine rpm. The FRC Limit is used to control the air/fuel ratio in order to control the engine's exhaust emissions. When the ECM senses a higher intake manifold pressure, the ECM increases the FRC Limit. A higher intake manifold pressure indicates that there is more air in the cylinder. When the ECM increases the FRC Limit, the ECM allows more fuel into the cylinder.The Rated Fuel Limit is a limit that is based on the power rating of the engine and on the engine rpm. The Rated Fuel Limit enables the engine power and torque outputs to conform to the power and torque curves of a specific engine model.These limits are in the flash file and these limits cannot be changedby the operator.Diagnostic Codes
When the ECM detects an electronic system problem, the ECM generates a diagnostic code. Also, the ECM logs the diagnostic code in order to indicate the time of the problem's occurrence. The ECM also logs the number of occurrences of the problem. Diagnostic codes are provided in order to indicate that the ECM has detected an electrical problem or an electronic problem with the engine control system. In some cases, the engine performance can be affected when the condition that is causing the code exists.If the operator indicates that a performance problem occurs, the diagnostic code may indicate the cause of the problem. Use the electronic service tool to access the diagnostic codes. The problem should then be corrected.Event Codes
Event Codes are used to indicate that the ECM has detected an abnormal engine operating condition. The ECM will log the occurrence of the event code. This does not indicate an electrical malfunction or an electronic malfunction. For example, if the temperature of the coolant in the engine is higher than the permitted limit, then the ECM will detect the condition. The ECM will then log an event code for the condition.Programmable Parameters
Certain parameters that affect the engine operation may be changed with electronic service tools. The parameters are stored in the ECM and some of the parameters are protected from unauthorized changes by passwords. These parameters are System Configuration Parameters.System Configuration Parameters are set at the factory. System Configuration Parameters affect emissions or power ratings within the engine. Factory passwords must be obtained and factory passwords must be used to change some of the System Configuration Parameters. , Examples of these parameters are FLS and FTS.Passwords
System Configuration Parameters are protected by factory passwords. Factory passwords are calculated on a computer system that is available only to Caterpillar distributors. Since factory passwords contain alphabetic characters, only an electronic service tool may change System Configuration Parameters. System Configuration Parameters affect the power rating or the emissions.Refer to Troubleshooting, "Programming Parameters" and Troubleshooting, "Factory Passwords".
