All Sensors
A failure of any of the sensors may be caused by one of the following malfunctions:
Sensor output is open.
Sensor output is shorted to "- battery" or "+ battery".
Measured reading of the sensor is out of the specification.Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
Atmospheric pressure sensor (3) measures the atmospheric pressure in the crankcase. A signal is sent to the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
Table 1
Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
Operating pressure range 0 to 116 kPa (0 to 16.8 psi) Boost Pressure Sensor
Boost pressure sensor (4) provides a signal which corresponds to turbocharger outlet pressure to the ECM. The air/fuel ratio control utilizes the actual engine speed and the turbocharger outlet pressure in order to control the transient smoke level. The ECM can control injection timing and the amount of fuel that is injected. When the throttle is increased and when the engine demands more fuel, the fuel limit is controlled in order to reduce overall smoke levels of the engine exhaust.Failure of the Boost Pressure Sensor
The ECM will detect failure of the boost pressure sensor. The operator will be warned of the problem through the diagnostic lamp. The strategies that are related to the boost will be disabled. Engine power will be severely reduced in the event of a failure of the boost pressure sensor. A failure of the boost pressure sensor will not cause a shutdown of the engine.Coolant Temperature Sensor
Coolant temperature sensor (7) monitors engine coolant temperature. The output of the ECM can indicate a high coolant temperature through a relay or a lamp. The coolant temperature sensor is used by the ECM to determine initiation of the Cold Start Strategy.
Table 2
Coolant Temperature Sensor
Activation temperature for the high coolant temperature fault 103°C (217°F)
Activation temperature for the very high coolant temperature fault 106°C (229°F) Failure of the Coolant Temperature Sensor
The ECM will detect a failure of the coolant temperature sensor. The diagnostic lamp will warn the operator about the status of the coolant temperature sensor. A failure of the coolant temperature sensor will not cause a shutdown of the engine or any horsepower change.Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
Engine oil pressure sensor (8) is an absolute pressure sensor that measures the engine oil pressure in the main oil gallery. The engine oil pressure sensor detects engine oil pressure for diagnostic purposes. The engine oil pressure sensor sends a signal to the ECM.
Table 3
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
Operating pressure range 0 to 690 kPa (0 to 100 psi) Low Oil Pressure Warning
The setpoint is dependent upon the engine speed. The fault will be active and logged only if the engine has been running for more than 15 seconds. Very Low Oil Pressure Warning
The very low oil pressure setpoint is dependent upon the engine speed. If the DERATE mode of the engine monitoring system is selected, the ECM will derate the engine power. The engine horsepower will be limited.Failure of the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
The ECM will detect failure of the engine oil pressure sensor. The diagnostic lamp warns the user about the status of the engine oil pressure sensor. The engine oil pressure related strategies will be disabled in the event of a failure of the engine oil pressure sensor. A failure of the engine oil pressure sensor will not cause a shutdown of the engine or any horsepower change.Engine Oil Temperature Sensor
Engine oil temperature sensor (5) monitors the temperature of the engine oil. The ECM uses the information from the engine oil temperature sensor in order to adjust the timing of the fuel injection and the pressure of the fuel injection.

Operating temperature range −40 to 120°C (−40 to 258°F) Engine Speed/Timing Sensor
If the ECM does not receive a signal from primary speed/timing sensor (6), the "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp will indicate a diagnostic fault code which will be logged in the ECM memory. If the ECM does not receive a signal from the primary speed/timing sensor, the ECM will read the signal from the secondary speed/timing sensor. The ECM continually checks in order to determine if there is a signal from both sensors. If either sensor fails, the faulty sensor should be replaced.Intermittent failure of the sensors will cause erratic engine control.Injection Actuation Pressure Sensor
Injection actuation pressure sensor (1) provides a signal of the injection actuation pressure to the ECM. The ECM modifies the current to the injection actuation pressure control valve (not shown) in order to control the injection actuation pressure. The desired actuation pressure is based on the following engine parameters: quantity of fuel, injection timing, engine speed and engine operating mode. Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
Inlet air temperature sensor (2) measures the inlet air temperature. A signal is sent to the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The inlet air temperature sensor is also used by the ECM to determine initiation of the Cold Start Strategy.
