The 1104C electronic engine is electronically
controlled. The 1104C electronic engine uses an
Electronic Control Module (ECM) to control a fuel
injection pump. The pump supplies fuel to the fuel
injectors.
The four cylinders are arranged in-line. The cylinder
head assembly has one inlet valve and one exhaust
valve for each cylinder. The ports for the inlet valves
are on the left side of the cylinder head. The ports for
the exhaust valves are on the right side of the cylinder
head. Each cylinder valve has a single valve spring.
Systems Operation Section
Each cylinder has a piston cooling jet that is installed
in the cylinder block. The piston cooling jet sprays
engine oil onto the inner surface of the piston in
order to cool the piston. The pistons have a Fastram
combustion chamber in the top of the piston in order
to provide an efficient mix of fuel and air. The piston
pin is off-center in order to reduce the noise level.
The pistons have two compression rings and an
oil control ring. The groove for the top ring has a
hardened insert in order to reduce wear of the ring
groove. The skirt has a layer of graphite in order to
reduce wear. The correct piston height is important in
order to ensure that the piston does not contact the
cylinder head. The correct piston height also ensures
the efficient combustion of fuel which is necessary in
order to conform to requirements for emissions.
A piston and connecting rod are matched to each
cylinder. The piston height is controlled by the
length of the connecting rod. Six different lengths
of connecting rods are available in order to attain
the correct piston height. The different lengths of
connecting rods are made by machining the small
end bearing off-center in order to form an eccentric
bearing. The amount of the eccentricity of the bearing
creates the different lengths of the connecting rods.
The crankshaft has five main bearing journals. End
play is controlled by thrust washers which are located
on both sides of the center main bearing.
The timing case is made of aluminum. The timing
gears have holes which align with holes in the front
flange of the crankshaft and the camshaft in order
to ensure the correct assembly of the gears. When
the number 1 piston is at the top center position
on the compression stroke, a temporary timing pin
is inserted through the crankshaft gear and the
hole in the front flange of the crankshaft. A second
temporary timing pin is inserted through the camshaft
gear and the hole in the timing case.
The crankshaft gear turns the idler gear which then
turns the following gears:
• the camshaft gear
• the fuel injection pump
• a lower idler gear which turns the gear of the
lubricating oil pump
The camshaft and the fuel injection pump run at half
the rpm of the crankshaft. The cylinder block has an
open top deck. The cylinders are only connected to
the cylinder block at the bottom.
g00910750
Illustration 3
The Bosch VP30 fuel injection pump is installed on
the engine. The fuel injection pump conforms to
current emissions. Both the pump timing and the high
idle are preset at the factory. The fuel injection pump
is not serviceable. Adjustments to the fuel injection
pump timing and high idle should only be made by
personnel which have had the correct training. The
fuel injection pump uses the engine ECM to control
the engine RPM.
For the specifications of the 1104C electronic engine,
refer to the Specifications, “Engine Design”.
Engine Operation
i02242513
Basic Engine
Cylinder Block and Cylinder Head
The cylinder block for the 1104 engine has four
cylinders which are arranged in-line.
The cylinder block for the 1104 engine has five
main bearings which support the crankshaft. Thrust
washers on both sides of the center main bearing
control the end play of the crankshaft.
A cylinder head gasket is used between the
engine block and the cylinder head in order to seal
combustion gases, water, and oil.
Systems Operation Section
The engine has a cast iron cylinder head. The inlet
manifold is integral within the cylinder head. An inlet
valve and an exhaust valve for each cylinder are
controlled by a pushrod valve system. The ports for
the inlet valves are on the left side of the cylinder
head. The ports for the exhaust valves are on the
right side of the cylinder head.
Pistons, Rings, and Connecting
Rods
The pistons have a combustion chamber in the top of
the piston in order to provide an efficient mix of fuel
and air. The piston pin is off-center in order to reduce
the noise level.
The pistons have two compression rings and an oil
control ring. The groove for the top ring has a hard
metal insert in order to reduce wear of the groove.
The skirt has a layer of graphite in order to reduce
wear.
The correct piston height is important in order to
ensure that the piston does not contact the cylinder
head. The correct piston height also ensures the
efficient combustion of fuel which is necessary in
order to conform to requirements for emissions.
Engines are equipped with connecting rods that have
bearing caps that are fracture split. The bearing caps
on fracture split connecting rods are retained with
torx screws. Connecting rods with bearing caps that
are fracture split have the following characteristics:
• Higher integrity for the rod
• The splitting produces an accurately matched
surface on each side for improved strength.
• Modern design
The connecting rod is matched to each cylinder.
The piston height is controlled by the length of the
connecting rod. Six different lengths of connecting
rods are available in order to attain the correct piston
height. The different lengths of connecting rods are
made by machining the small end bearing off-center
in order to form an eccentric bearing. The amount of
the eccentricity of the bearing creates the different
lengths of the connecting rods.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft changes the linear energy of the
pistons and connecting rods into rotary torque in
order to power external equipment.
A gear at the front of the crankshaft drives the timing
gears. The crankshaft gear turns the idler gear which
then turns the following gears:
• Camshaft gear
• Fuel injection pump
• Lower idler gear which turns the gear of the
lubricating oil pump
Lip type seals are used on both the front of the
crankshaft and the rear of the crankshaft.
Camshaft
The engine has a single camshaft. The camshaft
is driven by an idler gear in the front housing. The
camshaft uses only one bearing on the front journal.
The other journals rotate in the bore of the cylinder
block. The front bearing and the camshaft bores
in the cylinder block support the camshaft. As the
camshaft turns, the camshaft lobes move the valve
system components. The valve system components
move the inlet and exhaust valves in each cylinder.
The camshaft gear must be timed to the crankshaft
gear. The relationship between the lobes and the
camshaft gear causes the valves in each cylinder
to be opened and closed at the correct time. The
relationship between the lobes and the camshaft
gear also causes the valves in each cylinder to close
at the correct time.

Air Inlet and Exhaust System
g01130516
Illustration 4
Air inlet and exhaust system (typical example)
(1) Exhaust outlet
(2) Turbocharger turbine wheel
(3) Turbocharger compressor wheel
(4) Air intake
(5) Aftercooler
(6) Intake manifold
(7) Engine cylinders
(8) Exhaust manifold
Systems Operation Section
Engines which are naturally aspirated pull outside air
through an air cleaner directly into the inlet manifold
(6). The air flows from the intake manifold to the
engine cylinders (7). The fuel is mixed with the air in
the engine cylinders. After the fuel combustion occurs
in the engine cylinder, the exhaust gases flow directly
to the outside air through the exhaust manifold (8).
Turbocharged engines pull outside air through an air
cleaner into the air intake (4) of the turbocharger. The
suction is caused by the turbocharger compressor
wheel (3). Then, the turbocharger compressor
wheel compresses the air. The air flows through
the aftercooler (5). Cooling the inlet air increases
combustion efficiency. Increased combustion
efficiency helps achieve the following benefits:
• Fuel consumption is reduced.
• Power output is increased.
• Emissions from the engine are reduced.
From the aftercooler (5), the air flows to the intake
manifold (6) which directs an even distribution of the
air to each engine cylinder (7). Air is pulled into the
engine cylinder (7) during the intake stroke of the
piston. Then, the air is mixed with fuel from the fuel
injectors.
Each piston makes four strokes:
1. Intake
2. Compression
3. Power
4. Exhaust
The sequence of the strokes by all of the pistons in
all of the engine cylinders provide constant air flow
through the inlet system during the engine operation.
The exhaust stroke and the timing of the valve
mechanism pushes combustion gases through the
open exhaust valve into the exhaust manifold (8).
The exhaust gases flow through the blades of the
turbocharger turbine wheel (2) which causes the
turbine wheel and the compressor wheel to turn.
Then, the exhaust gases flow through the exhaust
outlet (1) of the turbocharger to the outside.
The air inlet system is also equipped with a crankcase
ventilation system. The intake strokes of the pistons
pull in atmospheric air to the crankcase.
Turbocharger
Note: The turbocharger is not serviceable.
A turbocharger increases the temperature and the
density of the air that is sent to the engine cylinder.
This condition causes a lower temperature of ignition
to develop earlier in the compression stroke. The
compression stroke is also timed in a more accurate
way with the fuel injection. Surplus air lowers the
temperature of combustion. This surplus air also
provides internal cooling.
A turbocharger improves the following aspects of
engine performance:
• Power output is increased.
• Fuel efficiency is improved.
• Engine torque is increased.
• Durability of the engine is improved.
• Emissions from the engine are reduced.

(3) Compressor wheel
(4) Bearing
(5) Oil inlet port
(6) Bearing
(7) Turbine housing
(8) Turbine wheel
(9) Exhaust outlet
(10) Oil outlet port
(11) Exhaust inlet
A turbocharger is installed between the exhaust
and intake manifolds. The turbocharger is driven by
exhaust gases which flow through the exhaust inlet
(11). The energy of the exhaust gas turns the turbine
wheel (8). Then, the exhaust gas flows out of the
turbine housing (7) through the exhaust outlet (9).
Systems Operation Section
The turbine wheel and the compressor wheel (3) are
installed on the same shaft. Therefore, the turbine
wheel and the compressor wheel rotate at the same
rpm. The compressor wheel is enclosed by the
compressor housing (2). The compressor wheel
compresses the intake air (1). The intake air flows
into the engine cylinders through the inlet valves of
the cylinders.
The oil from the main gallery of the cylinder block
flows through the oil inlet port (5) in order to
lubricate the turbocharger bearings (4) and (6). The
pressurized oil passes through the bearing housing
of the turbocharger. The oil is returned through the oil
outlet port (10) to the oil pan.
The turbocharger has a wastegate. The wastegate is
controlled by the boost pressure. This allows some
of the exhaust to bypass the turbocharger at higher
engine speeds. The wastegate is a type of valve
that automatically opens at a preset level of boost
pressure in order to allow exhaust gas to flow around
the turbine. The wastegate allows the design of the
turbocharger to be more effective at lower engine
speeds.
The wastegate is controlled by a diaphragm. One
side of this diaphragm is open to the atmosphere.
The other side of this diaphragm is open to the
manifold pressure.
Cylinder Head And Valves
The valves and the valve mechanism control the
flow of the air and the exhaust gases in the cylinder
during engine operation. The cylinder head assembly
has two valves for each cylinder. Each valve has one
valve spring. The ports for the inlet valves are on
the left side of the cylinder head. The ports for the
exhaust valves are on the right side of the cylinder
head. Steel valve seat inserts are installed in the
cylinder head for both the inlet and the exhaust
valves. The valve seat inserts can be replaced.
The valves are installed in valve guides. The valve
guides can be replaced. The exhaust valve guide has
a counterbore in order to prevent the seizure of the
valve stem. The seizure of the valve stem is caused
by a buildup of carbon under the head of the valve.
The inlet and the exhaust valves are opened and
closed by the rotation and movement of the following
components:
• Crankshaft
• Camshaft
• Valve lifters
• Pushrods
• Rocker arms
• Valve springs
The camshaft gear is driven by the crankshaft gear.
The camshaft and the crankshaft are timed together.
When the camshaft turns, the valve lifters and the
pushrods are moved up and down. The pushrods
move the rocker arms. The movement of the rocker
arms open the valves. The opening and closing of
the valves is timed with the firing sequence of the
engine. The valve springs push the valves back to
the closed position.

Cooling System
g00985481
Illustration 6
Flow diagram of the cooling system
The coolant flows from the bottom of the radiator to
the centrifugal water pump. The water pump assists
in the flow of the coolant through the system. The
water pump is installed on the front of the timing
case. The water pump is gear-driven by the fuel
injection pump gear.
The water pump forces the coolant through a
passage in the front of the timing case to the water
jacket in the top left side of the cylinder block. The
coolant continues to the rear of the cylinder block.
The main flow of the coolant passes from the rear of
the cylinder block into the rear of the cylinder head.
The coolant flows forward through the cylinder head
and into the water temperature regulator housing. If
the water temperature regulator is closed, the coolant
goes directly through a bypass to the inlet side of
the water pump. If the water temperature regulator
is open, the bypass is closed and the coolant flows
to the top of the radiator.
From the rear of the cylinder block, some of the
coolant passes into the oil cooler. The oil cooler is
located on the left side of the cylinder block with no
external lines. The coolant flows around the element
of the oil cooler before being returned to the rear of
the cylinder block.
Systems Operation Section
i02242521
Lubrication System
g01009682
Illustration 7
Flow diagram of the lubrication system
Lubricating oil from the oil pan flows through a
strainer and a pipe (9) to the suction side of the
engine oil pump (10). Pressure for the lubrication
system is supplied by the oil pump. The crankshaft
gear (13) drives a lower idler gear (12). The lower
idler gear drives the oil pump gear (11). The pump
has an inner rotor and an outer rotor. The axis of
rotation of the rotors are off-center relative to each
other. There is an interference fit between the inner
rotor and the drive shaft.
The inner rotor has five lobes which mesh with the six
lobes of the outer rotor. When the pump rotates, the
distance increases between the lobes of the outer
rotor and the lobes of the inner rotor in order to create
suction. When the distance decreases between the
lobes, pressure is created.
The lubricating oil flows from the outlet side of the oil
pump (10) through a passage to the oil filter head
(7). The oil then flows from the oil filter head through
a passage to a plate type oil cooler. The oil cooler is
located on the left side of the cylinder block.
From the oil cooler, the oil returns through a passage
to the oil filter head. The oil then flows through a
bypass valve that permits the lubrication system
to function if the oil filter becomes blocked. Under
normal conditions, the oil then flows to the oil filter (8).
The oil flows from the oil filter through a passage that
is drilled across the cylinder block to the oil gallery
(4). The oil gallery is drilled through the total length
of the left side of the cylinder block. If the oil filter is
on the right side of the engine, the oil flows through
a passage that is drilled across the cylinder block to
the pressure gallery.
Systems Operation Section
Lubricating oil from the oil gallery flows through
high pressure passages to the main bearings of
the crankshaft (5). Then, the oil flows through the
passages in the crankshaft to the connecting rod
bearing journals (6). The pistons and the cylinder
bores are lubricated by the splash of oil and the oil
mist.
Lubricating oil from the main bearings flows through
passages in the cylinder block to the journals of the
camshaft. Then, the oil flows from the front journal
of the camshaft (2) at a reduced pressure to the
cylinder head. The oil then flows through the center
of the rocker shaft (1) to the rocker arm levers. The
valve stems, the valve springs and the valve lifters
are lubricated by the splash and the oil mist.
The hub of the idler gear is lubricated by oil from the
oil gallery. The timing gears are lubricated by the
splash from the oil.
An external line from the cylinder block supplies oil to
the turbocharger. The oil then flows through a return
line to the oil pan.
Engines have piston cooling jets that are supplied
with oil from the oil gallery. The piston cooling jets
spray lubricating oil on the underside of the pistons in
order to cool the pistons.
i02242636
Electrical System
The electrical system is a negative ground system.
The charging circuit operates when the engine
is running. The alternator in the charging circuit
produces direct current for the electrical system.
Alternator
g00303424
Illustration 8
(1) Shaft for mounting the pulley
The alternator produces the following electrical
output:
• Three-phase
• Full-wave
• Rectified
The alternator is an electro-mechanical component.
The alternator is driven by a drive belt from the
crankshaft pulley. The alternator charges the storage
battery during the engine operation.
The alternator converts the mechanical energy
and the magnetic energy into electrical energy.
This conversion is done by rotating a direct current
electromagnetic field on the inside of a three-phase
stator. The electromagnetic field is generated by
electrical current flowing through a rotor. The stator
generates AC electrical power.
The alternating current is changed to direct current
by a three-phase, full-wave rectifier. Direct current
flows to the output terminal of the alternator. The
rectifier has three exciter diodes. The direct current
is used for the charging process.
A regulator is installed on the rear end of the
alternator. Two brushes conduct current through two
slip rings. The current then flows to the rotor field. A
capacitor protects the rectifier from high voltages.
Systems Operation Section
The alternator is connected to the battery through
the ignition switch. Therefore, alternator excitation
occurs when the switch is in the ON position.

g00954820
Illustration 10
12 Volt Starting Motor
(1) Terminal for connection of the battery cable
(2) Terminal for connection of the ignition switch
The starting motor turns the engine flywheel. The
rpm is high enough in order to initiate a sustained
operation of the fuel ignition in the cylinders.
The starting motor has a solenoid. When the ignition
switch is activated, voltage from the electrical system
will cause the solenoid to engage the pinion in the
flywheel ring gear of the engine. When the pinion
gear is engaged in the flywheel ring gear, the
electrical contacts in the solenoid close the circuit
between the battery and the starting motor. This
causes the starting motor to rotate. This type of
activation is called a positive shift.
When the engine begins to run, the overrunning
clutch of the pinion drive prevents damage to the
armature. Damage to the armature is caused by
excessive speeds. The clutch prevents damage by
stopping the mechanical connection. However, the
pinion will stay meshed with the ring gear until the
ignition switch is released. A spring in the overrunning
clutch returns the clutch to the rest position.

(7) Fuel injection pump
The 1104C electronic engine is equipped with a
Bosch VP30 fuel injection pump. The fuel injection
pump is an axial piston distributor injection pump that
is controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
The axial piston distributor injection pump generates
injection pressure for all cylinders in a single pump.
The fuel injection pump is responsible for the
distribution of fuel to the fuel injectors. The injection
pressure is generated by an axially moving piston.
The movement of the piston is parallel to the fuel
injection pump shaft.
Systems Operation Section
When the engine is operated, the fuel is pulled from
the fuel tank (6) through the primary fuel filter/water
separator (3) by the fuel transfer pump (2). When the
fuel passes through the water separator, any water
in the fuel will go to the bottom of the bowl. The fuel
transfer pump is equipped with a secondary fuel filter.
From the fuel priming pump, the fuel passes through
the fuel supply line to the fuel injection pump (7).
The fuel injection pump sends fuel through the high
pressure fuel lines to the fuel injectors (1). The fuel
injectors spray atomized fuel into the cylinders.
The fuel injection pump needs fuel for lubrication. The
precision parts of the pump are easily damaged. The
engine must not be operated until the fuel injection
pump is full of fuel. The system must be primed when
any part of the system is drained of fuel. The fuel
system needs priming when a fuel filter is changed,
and/or when a fuel line is removed, and/or when the
fuel injection pump is replaced.

Fuel is supplied by the head pressure of the priming
pump. The fuel enters the fuel transfer pump (16) of
the fuel injection pump. The fuel transfer pump is a
vane pump. The transfer pump is driven by the fuel
injection pump shaft. The pump supplies a constant
amount of fuel to the interior of the fuel injection
pump. The revolution of the transfer pump is directly
related to the speed of the fuel injection pump shaft.

(19) Outlet passage
(20) Rotor
(21) Vane
(22) Inlet passage
The rotor (20) rotates inside the cam ring (18). The
ring is firmly attached to the pump housing (17). The
vanes (21) are pressed against the ring by centrifugal
force. The fuel flows through the inlet passage (22)
then into a recess in the pump housing.
The eccentric position of the rotor is relative to the
cam ring. A volume is created between the vanes,
the rotor, and the cam ring. The fuel is transported
by the eccentric position. The eccentric position is
relative to the rotor and the outlet passage (19).
The fuel is transferred to the outlet passage into the
distributor plunger. The volume of the fuel is reduced
between the inlet passage and the outlet passage.
This creates pressure before the delivery to the
distributor plunger.
The quantity of fuel increases as the speed of the
engine increases. Increased engine speed increases
the delivery pressure of the fuel. The pressure inside
the pump is limited by a pressure regulator. The
pressure regulator controls the fuel pressure. The
fuel forces the valve spring open and the fuel flows
back into the inlet passage from the inside of the fuel
injection pump.

The fuel comes from the outlet passage of the fuel
transfer pump. The high pressure is generated
by the axial movement of the distributor plunger.
The cam plate is driven by the fuel injection pump
shaft. The cam plate has four cams. The number of
cams corresponds to the number of cylinders of the
engine. The cams on the cam plate run on the rollers.
The rollers are fixed on the cam ring. The rotating
movement and the lifting movement of the cam plate
makes the generation of high pressure.
Systems Operation Section
The cam plate moves the distributor plunger toward
the head of the distributor (26). The high pressure is
created by a decrease in the volume between the
distributor plunger and the head of the distributor.
The cam plate is pressed to the ring by two springs
(28). This brings the distributor plunger back to the
original position. The fuel solenoid valve closes the
high pressure volume.

The distribution of fuel to the injectors takes place
through the rotating movement of the distributor
plunger. The fuel solenoid valve meters the amount
of fuel by the following operations:
• Time of closure
• Duration time
• Start of injection
• Amount of fuel
g01132164
Illustration 17
Delivery of fuel from the open delivery valve
g01132170
Illustration 18
Delivery valve in the closed position
The delivery valve ensures that the pressure waves
do not allow a reopening of the injector . The pressure
waves are created at the end of the injection process.
The valve cone is lifted by the fuel pressure.
The fuel is forced through the fuel line to the injector.
The delivery ends and the fuel pressure drops. The
valve spring presses the valve cone onto the valve
seat. The reopening of a fuel injector has a negative
effect on emissions.
Timing
Retarding of the fuel injection is the direct relationship
between the start of injection and the position of the
piston. The timing compensates for the higher RPM
of the engine by advancing the start of injection.

Timing retard for timing mechanism (side view and top view)
The timing advance or the timing retard of the fuel
injection pump is shown in the following steps:
1. The ECU sends a signal to the timing solenoid
valve.
2. The timing mechanism is triggered by the timing
solenoid valve.
3. The timing solenoid valve changes the pressure in
the timing mechanism.
4. The timing mechanism changes the position of
the cam ring.
5. The cam ring changes the position of the rollers.
6. The rollers change the position of the cam plate.
7. The cam plate changes the timing of the fuel
delivery.
Control
g01143278
Illustration 21
Electronic control for the fuel system (typical example)
The ECU for the injection pump uses the command
from the ECM and the measured values from the
speed/timing sensor to actuate the fuel solenoid
valve.
Systems Operation Section
g01133212
Illustration 22
The timing wheel and the secondary speed/timing sensor
(32) Secondary speed/timing sensor
(33) Timing wheel
The ECU for the fuel injection pump is mounted on
the top of the pump. The ECU has a connection
to the engine ECM and a connection to the
speed/timing sensor. The ECU has a connection for
the two solenoid valves. The ECM functions as a
control computer. The ECU calculates the optimal
parameters from the ECM data. The fuel solenoid
actuates the valve accordingly.
The secondary speed/timing sensor in the fuel
injection pump determines the precise angular
position and the speed of the fuel injection pump
shaft. The timing wheel (23) is permanently
connected to the fuel injection pump shaft. The
secondary speed/timing sensor gets information from
the timing wheel. The sensor then sends electrical
impulses to the ECU. The ECU also uses the
information to determine the average speed of the
pump and momentary speed of the pump.
Note: The engine will not run if the secondary
speed/timing sensor fails.
The signal of the speed/timing sensor is constant.
Power command signals are routed over the CAN
data link from the engine ECM to the ECU on the fuel
injection pump.

(36) Stroke
(37) Pulse for actuating the fuel solenoid
(38) Valve lift
(39) Angle of the speed/timing sensor
The amount of fuel is proportional to the stroke of
the piston. The effective stroke is proportional to the
angle of fuel delivery. A temperature compensation
takes place in the ECU. The compensation takes
place in order to inject the precise amount of fuel.
Shutoff
The engine shuts off by interrupting the fuel supply.
The engine Electronic Control Module (ECM)
specifies the amount of fuel. The fuel solenoid valve
is switched by the ECU on the fuel injection pump
to the zero fuel position.
Systems Operation Section
Fuel Injectors
g01142467
Illustration 24
Each fuel injector is held into the cylinder head by a
clamp around the fuel injector. The fuel injectors are
not serviceable but the nozzles can be removed in
order to clean the orifice.
The fuel injection pump forces the fuel to flow under
high pressure to the hole in the fuel inlet. The fuel
then flows around a needle valve within the nozzle
holder which causes the nozzle to fill with fuel. The
pressure of the fuel pushes the needle valve and a
spring. When the force of the fuel pressure is greater
than the force of the spring, the needle valve will lift
up.
When the needle valve opens, fuel under high
pressure will flow through the nozzle orifices into the
cylinder. The fuel is injected into the cylinder through
the orifices in the nozzle end as a very fine spray.
When the fuel is injected into the cylinder, the force
of the fuel pressure in the nozzle body will decrease.
The force of the spring will then be greater than the
force of the fuel pressure that is in the nozzle body.
The needle valve will move quickly to the closed
position.
The needle valve has a close fit with the inside of the
nozzle. This makes a positive seal for the valve.

Systems Operation Section
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
g01133234
Illustration 26
Electronic control module (ECM)
The ECM functions as the governor and the computer
for the fuel system. The ECM receives all the signals
from the sensors in order to control the timing and
the engine speed.
Reprogramming of the ECM requires factory
passwords. The reasons for having passwords in an
ECM are the following reasons:
• Prevent unauthorized reprogramming.
• Prevent unauthorized erasing of logged events.
• Allow the customer to control certain programmable
engine parameters.
The factory passwords restrict changes to authorized
personnel. Factory passwords are required to
clear any event code. Refer to Troubleshooting,
RENR2696, “Factory Passwords” for more
information on the passwords.
The ECM has an excellent record of reliability. Any
problems in the system are most likely to be the
connectors and the wiring harness. The ECM should
be the last item in troubleshooting the engine.
The personality module contains the software with
all the fuel setting information. The information
determines the engine performance. The personality
module is installed behind the access panel on the
ECM.
Flash programming is the method of programming
or updating the personality module. Refer to
Troubleshooting, RENR2696, “Flash Programming ”
for the instructions on the flash programming of the
personality module.
The ECM is sealed and the ECM needs no routine
adjustment or maintenance.

(1) Negative terminal
(2) Positive terminal
The primary speed/timing sensor is also a two-wire
passive sensor. The sensor provides the ECM with
the speed and the position of the engine from a timing
wheel that is mounted on the crankshaft so that
the ECM can request fuel and timing from the fuel
injection pump. The timing wheel has one missing
tooth that is located 70 degrees after top center.
The operating range for the primary speed/timing
sensor ........................................... 142 to 3333 RPM
When the engine is cranking, the ECM uses the
signal from the secondary speed/timing sensor in the
fuel injection pump. When the engine is running, the
ECM uses the signal from the primary speed/timing
sensor on the crankshaft. This speed/timing sensor
is the primary source of the engine position.
Note: If the primary speed/timing sensor fails, the
engine will be derated and the engine will continue to
operate on the secondary speed/timing sensor. Refer
to Troubleshooting, RENR2696 for more information.

i02242712
Fuel System - Inspect
A number of the components that send fuel to
the engine can cause low fuel pressure. This can
decrease engine performance.
1. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Ensure that
the vent in the fuel cap is not filled with dirt.
2. Check all fuel lines for fuel leakage. The fuel lines
must be free from restrictions and faulty bends.
Verify that the fuel return line is not collapsed.
3. Inspect the fuel filter for excess contamination. If
necessary, install a new fuel filter. Determine the
source of the contamination. Make the necessary
repairs.
4. Service the primary fuel filter (if equipped).
5. Remove any air that may be in the fuel system.
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, “Fuel System -
Prime”.
i01854200
Air in Fuel - Test
This procedure checks for air in the fuel system. This
procedure also assists in finding the source of the air.
1. Examine the fuel system for leaks. Ensure that
the fuel line fittings are properly tightened. Check
the fuel level in the fuel tank. Air can enter the
fuel system on the suction side between the fuel
transfer pump and the fuel tank.
Work carefully around an engine that is running.
Engine parts that are hot, or parts that are moving,
can cause personal injury.
2. Install a suitable fuel flow tube with a visual sight
gauge in the fuel return line. When possible, install
the sight gauge in a straight section of the fuel line
that is at least 304.8 mm (12 inches) long. Do not
install the sight gauge near the following devices
that create turbulence:
• Elbows
• Relief valves
• Check valves
Observe the fuel flow during engine cranking.
Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If there is no fuel
that is present in the sight gauge, prime the fuel
system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, “Fuel
System - Prime” for more information. If the engine
starts, check for air in the fuel at varying engine
speeds. When possible, operate the engine under
the conditions which have been suspect.
g00578151
Illustration 39
(1) A steady stream of small bubbles with a diameter of
approximately 1.60 mm (0.063 inch) is an acceptable amount
of air in the fuel.
(2) Bubbles with a diameter of approximately 6.35 mm (0.250 inch)
are also acceptable if there is two seconds to three seconds
intervals between bubbles.
(3) Excessive air bubbles in the fuel are not acceptable.
3. If excessive air is seen in the sight gauge in the
fuel return line, install a second sight gauge at the
inlet to the fuel transfer pump. If a second sight
gauge is not available, move the sight gauge from
the fuel return line and install the sight gauge
at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump. Observe
the fuel flow during engine cranking. Look for air
bubbles in the fuel. If the engine starts, check for
air in the fuel at varying engine speeds.
Testing and Adjusting Section
If excessive air is not seen at the inlet to the fuel
transfer pump, the air is entering the system after
the fuel transfer pump. Refer to the Testing and
Adjusting, “Fuel System - Prime”.
If excessive air is seen at the inlet to the fuel
transfer pump, air is entering through the suction
side of the fuel system.
To avoid personal injury, always wear eye and face
protection when using pressurized air.
NOTICE
To avoid damage, do not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi)
to pressurize the fuel tank.
4. Pressurize the fuel tank to 35 kPa (5 psi). Do
not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi) in order to
avoid damage to the fuel tank. Check for leaks in
the fuel lines between the fuel tank and the fuel
transfer pump. Repair any leaks that are found.
Check the fuel pressure in order to ensure that
the fuel transfer pump is operating properly. For
information about checking the fuel pressure, see
Testing and Adjusting, “Fuel System Pressure -
Test”.
5. If the source of the air is not found, disconnect
the supply line from the fuel tank and connect an
external fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel transfer
pump. If this corrects the problem, repair the fuel
tank or the stand pipe in the fuel tank.

Fuel Quality - Test
Use the following procedure to test for problems
regarding fuel quality:
1. Determine if water and/or contaminants are
present in the fuel. Check the water separator (if
equipped). If a water separator is not present,
proceed to Step 2. Drain the water separator, if
necessary. A full fuel tank minimizes the potential
for overnight condensation.
Note: A water separator can appear to be full of fuel
when the water separator is actually full of water.
2. Determine if contaminants are present in the
fuel. Remove a sample of fuel from the bottom
of the fuel tank. Visually inspect the fuel sample
for contaminants. The color of the fuel is not
necessarily an indication of fuel quality. However,
fuel that is black, brown, and/or similar to sludge
can be an indication of the growth of bacteria or
oil contamination. In cold temperatures, cloudy
fuel indicates that the fuel may not be suitable for
operating conditions.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Refill Capacities and Recommendations” for
more information.
3. If fuel quality is still suspected as a possible
cause to problems regarding engine performance,
disconnect the fuel inlet line, and temporarily
operate the engine from a separate source of
fuel that is known to be good. This will determine
if the problem is caused by fuel quality. If fuel
quality is determined to be the problem, drain the
fuel system and replace the fuel filters. Engine
performance can be affected by the following
characteristics:
• Cetane number of the fuel
• Air in the fuel
• Other fuel characteristics
Testing and Adjusting Section
i02253606
Fuel System - Prime
If air enters the fuel system, the air must be purged
before the engine can be started. Air can enter the
fuel system when the following events occur:
• The fuel tank is empty or the tank has been partially
drained during normal operation.
• The low pressure fuel lines are disconnected.
• A leak exists in the low pressure fuel system during
engine operation.
• The fuel filter or the fuel pump is replaced.
• The high pressure fuel lines are disconnected.
Use the following procedure in order to remove air
from the fuel system:
1. Remove the cover for the fuel injectors.
2. Turn the key to the RUN position for three minutes
in order to energize the fuel priming pump. Do not
start the engine. Then turn the key to the OFF
position.

(1) Fuel transfer pump
(2) Fuel filter housing
(3) Outlet for the supply for the fuel injection pump
(4) Outlet for the return to the fuel tank
The pressure test measures the output pressure of
the fuel transfer pump. Low fuel pressure and starting
difficulty may be indications of problems with the fuel
transfer pump.
Check the Function of the Fuel
Transfer Pump
1. Make a note of the location of the fuel lines from
the fuel transfer pump. Remove the two lines from
the outlets (3) and (4).
2. Connect two lengths of 5/16 inch rubber hose
to outlets (3) and (4). Place the hoses into a
suitable container that is capable of holding 3.0 L
(0.66 Imp gal) of fuel.
3. Energize the fuel transfer pump until a constant
flow of fuel is running from the outlet for the supply
for the fuel injection pump.
Note: The flow from the outlet for the return for the
fuel tank will have a slower flow rate.
4. Measure the combined flow of both outlets with
a stopwatch. Fuel flow should be a minimum of
2.0 L (0.44 Imp gal) per minute.
5. If the combined flow is less than 2.0 L
(0.44 Imp gal) per minute, replace the fuel transfer
pump.
6. Reconnect the outlet lines in the correct positions.
Testing and Adjusting Section
7. Start the engine and check for any leakage of fuel
or air from the fuel lines.
Check the Function of the Pressure
Regulator
1. Remove the fuel line from the outlet for the supply
for the fuel injection pump (3).
2. Install a pipe with a tap for a pressure gauge.
Connect a 0 to 80 kPa (0 to 12 psi) pressure
gauge.
3. Start the engine and run the engine at idle for two
minutes in order to remove any trapped air.
4. Record the pressure reading at idle and at rated
speed. The minimum pressure reading should be
the following values:
Bosch VP30
Idle ................................... 27.5 kPa (3.98 psi)
Rated speed ....................... 24 kPa (3.48 psi)
Note: The maximum pressure reading at the inlet to
the fuel injection pump is 80 kPa (12 psi).
5. Reconnect the fuel line. Run the engine at idle for
two minutes in order to remove any trapped air.
Check for the following issues if the pressures are
outside of the above specifications.
• All electrical connections are installed correctly.
• There are no leaks in the fuel lines or connections.
• The O-ring on fuel filter housing (2) does not leak.

Air Inlet and Exhaust System
- Inspect
A general visual inspection should be made to the air
inlet and exhaust system. Make sure that there are
no signs of leaks in the system.
There will be a reduction in the performance of the
engine if there is a restriction in the air inlet system or
the exhaust system.
Hot engine components can cause injury from
burns. Before performing maintenance on the
engine, allow the engine and the components to
cool.
Making contact with a running engine can cause
burns from hot parts and can cause injury from
rotating parts.
When working on an engine that is running, avoid
contact with hot parts and rotating parts.
1. Inspect the engine air cleaner inlet and ducting
in order to ensure that the passageway is not
blocked or collapsed.
2. Inspect the engine air cleaner element. Replace a
dirty element with a clean element.
3. Check for evidence of dirt on the clean side of the
engine air cleaner element. If dirt is observed,
contaminants are flowing past the element.

Note: The turbocharger is a nonserviceable item.
The pressure for the wastegate can be checked, but
not adjusted.
1. Use a suitable dial indicator (1). Align the dial
gauge to the actuator rod (2).
2. Remove the air hose to the actuator . Install an air
line (3) that can be adjusted in order to give the
correct pressure.
Testing and Adjusting Section
3. Slowly apply air pressure to the wastegate so
that the actuator rod moves 1.0 mm (0.039 inch).
The air pressure should be within 107 to 117 kPa
(15.5 to 17.0 psi). Ensure that the dial indicator
returns to zero when the air pressure is released.
Repeat the test several times. This will ensure that
an accurate reading is obtained.
4. For more information on installing a new
turbocharger, contact your Perkins dealer or your
Perkins distributor.
i01888954
Compression - Test
The cylinder compression test should only be used in
order to compare the cylinders of an engine. If one or
more cylinders vary by more than 350 kPa (51 psi),
the cylinder and related components may need to
be repaired.
A compression test should not be the only method
which is used to determine the condition of an engine.
Other tests should also be conducted in order to
determine if the adjustment or the replacement of
components is required.
Before the performance of the compression test,
make sure that the following conditions exist:
• The battery is in good condition.
• The battery is fully charged.
• The starting motor operates correctly.
• The valve lash is set correctly.
• All fuel injectors are removed.
• The fuel supply is disconnected.
1. Install a gauge for measuring the cylinder
compression in the hole for a fuel injector.
2. Operate the starting motor in order to turn the
engine. Record the maximum pressure which is
indicated on the compression gauge.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for all cylinders.
i02254773
Engine Valve Lash -
Inspect/Adjust
To prevent possible injury, do not use the starter
to turn the flywheel.
Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow
additional time for the engine to cool before mea-
suring valve clearance.
Valve Lash Setting
Valve lash setting
Inlet valve ........................... 0.2 mm (0.008 inch)
Exhaust valve ................... 0.45 mm (0.018 inch)
Refer to Systems Operation, “Engine Design” for the
location of the cylinder valves.
Valve Lash Adjustment
If the valve lash requires adjustment several times
in a short period of time, excessive wear exists in
a different part of the engine. Find the problem and
make necessary repairs in order to prevent more
damage to the engine.
Not enough valve lash can be the cause of rapid
wear of the camshaft and valve lifters. Not enough
valve lash can indicate that the seats for the valves
are worn.
Valves become worn due to the following causes:
• Fuel injectors that operate incorrectly
• Excessive dirt and oil are present on the filters for
the inlet air.
• Incorrect fuel settings on the fuel injection pump.
• The load capacity of the engine is frequently
exceeded.
Too much valve lash can cause broken valve stems,
springs, and spring retainers. Too much valve lash
can be an indication of the following problems:
• Worn camshaft and valve lifters
• Worn rocker arms
• Bent pushrods
Testing and Adjusting Section
• Broken socket on the upper end of a pushrod
• Loose adjustment screw for the valve lash
If the camshaft and the valve lifters show rapid wear,
look for fuel in the lubrication oil or dirty lubrication
oil as a possible cause.
The valve lash is measured between the top of the
valve stem and the rocker arm lever.
Note: An adjustment is not necessary if the
measurement of the valve lash is in the acceptable
range. Inspect the valve lash while the engine is
stopped. The temperature of the engine does not
change the valve lash setting.
Note: When the following procedures are performed,
the front housing must be installed.

Testing and Adjusting Section
Lubrication System
i01854908
Engine Oil Pressure - Test
Low Oil Pressure
The following conditions will cause low oil pressure.
• The oil level is low in the crankcase.
•
A restriction exists on the oil suction screen.
• Connections in the oil lines are leaking.
• The connecting rod or the main bearings are worn.
• The rotors in the oil pump are worn.
• The oil pressure relief valve is operating incorrectly.
A worn oil pressure relief valve can allow oil to leak
through the valve which lowers the oil pressure.
Refer to the Specifications Module, “Engine Oil Relief
Valve” for the correct operating pressure and other
information.
When the engine runs at the normal temperature for
operation and at high idle, the oil pressure must be
a minimum of 280 kPa (40 psi). A lower pressure is
normal at low idle.
A suitable pressure gauge can be used in order to
test the pressure of the lubrication system.
High Oil Pressure
High oil pressure can be caused by the following
conditions.
• The spring for the oil pressure relief valve is
installed incorrectly.
• The plunger for the oil pressure relief valve
becomes jammed in the closed position.
• Excessive sludge exists in the oil which makes the
viscosity of the oil too high.
i01893791
Engine Oil Pump - Inspect
If any part of the oil pump is worn enough in order to
affect the performance of the oil pump, the oil pump
must be replaced.
Perform the following procedures in order to inspect
the oil pump for clearances and torques.
Refer to the Specifications Module, “Engine Oil
Pump”.
1. Remove the oil pump from the engine. Refer to
the Disassembly and Assembly, “Engine Oil Pump

i01126690
Excessive Bearing Wear -
Inspect
When some components of the engine show bearing
wear in a short time, the cause can be a restriction in
an oil passage.
An engine oil pressure indicator may show that there
is enough oil pressure, but a component is worn
due to a lack of lubrication. In such a case, look at
the passage for the oil supply to the component.
A restriction in an oil supply passage will not allow
enough lubrication to reach a component. This will
result in early wear.
i01794028
Excessive Engine Oil
Consumption - Inspect
Engine Oil Leaks on the Outside of
the Engine
Check for leakage at the seals at each end of the
crankshaft. Look for leakage at the gasket for the
engine oil pan and all lubrication system connections.
Look for any engine oil that may be leaking from
the crankcase breather. This can be caused by
combustion gas leakage around the pistons. A dirty
crankcase breather will cause high pressure in the
crankcase. A dirty crankcase breather will cause the
gaskets and the seals to leak.
Engine Oil Leaks into the
Combustion Area of the Cylinders
Engine oil that is leaking into the combustion area of
the cylinders can be the cause of blue smoke. There
are several possible ways for engine oil to leak into
the combustion area of the cylinders:
• Leaks between worn valve guides and valve stems
• Worn components or damaged components
(pistons, piston rings, or dirty return holes for the
engine oil)
• Incorrect installation of the compression ring and/or
the intermediate ring
• Leaks past the seal rings in the turbocharger shaft
Testing and Adjusting Section
• Overfilling of the crankcase
• Wrong dipstick or guide tube
• Sustained operation at light loads
Excessive consumption of engine oil can also
result if engine oil with the wrong viscosity is used.
Engine oil with a thin viscosity can be caused by fuel
leakage into the crankcase or by increased engine
temperature.
i01945015
Increased Engine Oil
Temperature - Inspect
Look for a restriction in the oil passages of the oil
cooler (if equipped). The oil temperature may be
higher than normal when the engine is operating. In
such a case, the oil cooler may have a restriction.
A restriction in the oil cooler will not cause low oil
pressure in the engine.
Testing and Adjusting Section
Cooling System
i02274237
Cooling System - Check
(Overheating)
Above normal coolant temperatures can be caused
by many conditions. Use the following procedure
to determine the cause of above normal coolant
temperatures:
1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system. If
the coolant level is too low, air will get into the
cooling system. Air in the cooling system will
cause a reduction in coolant flow and bubbles
in the coolant. Air bubbles will keep the coolant
away from the engine parts, which will prevent the
transfer of heat to the coolant. Low coolant level is
caused by leaks or incorrectly filling the expansion
tank.
2. Check that the exterior of the radiator is not
blocked with debris.
3. Check that the drive belts are not loose. Refer to
Testing and Adjusting, “V-Belt - Test”.
4. Check that the fan is correctly installed and that
the fan is not damaged.
5. Check for air in the cooling system. Air can enter
the cooling system in different ways. The most
common causes of air in the cooling system
are not filling the cooling system correctly and
combustion gas leakage into the cooling system.
Combustion gas can get into the system through
inside cracks, a damaged cylinder head, or
a damaged cylinder head gasket. Air in the
cooling system causes a reduction in coolant
flow and bubbles in the coolant. Air bubbles keep
the coolant away from the engine parts, which
prevents the transfer of heat to the coolant.
6. Check the sending unit. In some conditions, the
temperature sensor in the engine sends signals
to a sending unit. The sending unit converts these
signals to an electrical impulse which is used by a
mounted gauge. If the sending unit malfunctions,
the gauge can show an incorrect reading. Also if
the electric wire breaks or if the electric wire shorts
out, the gauge can show an incorrect reading.
7. Check the radiator for a restriction to coolant flow.
Check the radiator for debris, dirt, or deposits on
the inside of the core. Debris, dirt, or deposits will
restrict the flow of coolant through the radiator.
8. Check the filler cap. A pressure drop in the cooling
system can cause the boiling point to be lower.
This can cause the cooling system to boil. Refer
to Testing and Adjusting, “Cooling System - Test”.
9. Check the cooling system hoses and clamps.
Damaged hoses with leaks can normally be seen.
Hoses that have no visual leaks can soften during
operation. The soft areas of the hose can become
kinked or crushed during operation. These areas
of the hose can cause a restriction in the coolant
flow. Hoses become soft and/or get cracks
after a period of time. The inside of a hose can
deteriorate, and the loose particles of the hose
can cause a restriction of the coolant flow.
10. Check for a restriction in the air inlet system. A
restriction of the air that is coming into the engine
can cause high cylinder temperatures. High
cylinder temperatures require higher than normal
temperatures in the cooling system.
11. Check for a restriction in the exhaust system.
A restriction of the air that is coming out of the
engine can cause high cylinder temperatures.
a. Make a visual inspection of the exhaust system.
b. Check for damage to exhaust piping. Check for
damage to the exhaust elbow. If no damage
is found, check the exhaust system for a
restriction.
12. Check the water temperature regulator. A water
temperature regulator that does not open, or a
water temperature regulator that only opens part
of the way can cause overheating. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, “Water Temperature Regulator -
Test”.
13. Check the water pump. A water pump with a
damaged impeller does not pump enough coolant
for correct engine cooling. Remove the water
pump and check for damage to the impeller.
14. Consider high outside temperatures. When
outside temperatures are too high for the rating
of the cooling system, there is not enough of
a temperature difference between the outside
air and coolant temperatures. The maximum
temperature of the ambient air that enters the
engine should not exceed 50 °C (120 °F).
15. When a load that is applied to the engine is too
large, the engine rpm does not increase with an
increase of fuel. This lower engine rpm causes
a reduction in coolant flow through the system.
This combination of less air and less coolant flow
during high input of fuel will cause above normal
heating.
Testing and Adjusting Section
i01889427
Cooling System - Inspect
This engine has a pressure type cooling system. A
pressure type cooling system gives two advantages:
• The pressure type cooling system can operate
safely at a higher temperature than the boiling
point of water at a range of atmospheric pressures.
• The pressure type cooling system prevents
cavitation in the water pump.
Cavitation is the sudden generation of low pressure
bubbles in liquids by mechanical forces. The
generation of an air or steam pocket is much more
difficult in a pressure type cooling system.
Regular inspections of the cooling system should be
made in order to identify problems before damage
can occur. Visually inspect the cooling system before
tests are made with the test equipment.
Visual Inspection Of The Cooling
System
1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system.
2. Look for leaks in the system.
3. Inspect the radiator for bent fins and other
restriction to the flow of air through the radiator.
4. Inspect the drive belt for the fan.
5. Inspect the blades of the fan for damage.
6. Look for air or combustion gas in the cooling
system.
7. Inspect the radiator cap for damage. The sealing
surface must be clean.
8. Look for large amounts of dirt in the radiator core.
Look for large amounts of dirt on the engine.
9. Shrouds that are loose or missing cause poor air
flow for cooling.
i01964006
Cooling System - Test
Remember that temperature and pressure work
together. When a diagnosis is made of a cooling
system problem, temperature and pressure must
be checked. The cooling system pressure will have
an effect on the cooling system temperature. For
an example, refer to Illustration 53. This will show
the effect of pressure on the boiling point (steam) of
water. This will also show the effect of height above
sea level.
g00286266
Illustration 53
Cooling system pressure at specific altitudes and boiling points

Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam
and alkali.
At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot
and under pressure. The radiator and all lines
to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or
steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.
Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure only
when engine is stopped and radiator cap is cool
enough to touch with your bare hand.
The coolant level must be to the correct level in order
to check the coolant system. The engine must be
cold and the engine must not be running.
After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap
in order to relieve the pressure out of the cooling
system. Then remove the pressure cap.
The level of the coolant should not be more than
13 mm (0.5 inch) from the bottom of the filler pipe. If
the cooling system is equipped with a sight glass,
the coolant should be to the correct level in the sight
glass.
Testing and Adjusting Section
Checking the Filler Cap
One cause for a pressure loss in the cooling system
can be a faulty seal on the radiator pressure cap.

At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot
and under pressure. The radiator and all lines
to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or
steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.
Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure only
when engine is stopped and radiator cap is cool
enough to touch with your bare hand.
To check for the amount of pressure that opens the
filler cap, use the following procedure:
1. After the engine cools, carefully loosen the filler
cap. Slowly release the pressure from the cooling
system. Then, remove the filler cap.
2. Inspect the pressure cap carefully. Look for
damage to the seal. Look for damage to the
surface that seals. Remove any debris on the cap,
the seal, or the sealing surface.
Carefully inspect the filler cap. Look for any
damage to the seals and to the sealing surface.
Inspect the following components for any foreign
substances:
• Filler cap
• Seal
• Surface for seal
Remove any deposits that are found on these
items, and remove any material that is found on
these items.
3. Install the pressure cap onto a suitable
pressurizing Pump.
4. Observe the exact pressure that opens the filler
cap.
5. Compare the pressure to the pressure rating that
is found on the top of the filler cap.
6. If the filler cap is damaged, replace the filler cap.
Testing The Radiator And Cooling
System For Leaks
Use the following procedure to test the radiator and
the cooling system for leaks.
Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam
and alkali.
At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot
and under pressure. The radiator and all lines
to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or
steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.
Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure only
when engine is stopped and radiator cap is cool
enough to touch with your bare hand.
1. When the engine has cooled, loosen the filler cap
to the first stop. Allow the pressure to release from
the cooling system. Then remove the filler cap.
2. Make sure that the coolant covers the top of the
radiator core.
3. Put a suitable pressurizing Pump onto the radiator.
4. Use the pressurizing pump to increase the
pressure to an amount of 20 kPa (3 psi) more than
the operating pressure of the filler cap.
5. Check the radiator for leakage on the outside.
6. Check all connections and hoses of the cooling
system for leaks.
The radiator and the cooling system do not have
leakage if all of the following conditions exist:
• You do NOT observe any leakage after five
minutes.
Testing and Adjusting Section
• The dial indicator remains constant beyond five
minutes.
The inside of the cooling system has leakage only
if the following conditions exist:
• The reading on the gauge goes down.
• You do NOT observe any outside leakage.
Make any repairs, as required.

Battery - Test
Most of the tests of the electrical system can be done
on the engine. The wiring insulation must be in good
condition. The wire and cable connections must be
clean, and both components must be tight.
Testing and Adjusting Section
Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or bat-
tery circuit cable from the battery when the charg-
ing unit is operated. A spark can cause an explo-
sion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydro-
gen and oxygen that is released from the elec-
trolyte through the battery outlets. Injury to per-
sonnel can be the result.
The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging
unit. The load is variable because of the condition of
the charge in the battery.
NOTICE
The charging unit will be damaged if the connections
between the battery and the charging unit are broken
while the battery is being charged. Damage occurs
because the load from the battery is lost and because
there is an increase in charging voltage. High voltage
will damage the charging unit, the regulator, and other
electrical components.
The correct procedures to test the battery can be
found in the manual that is supplied by the OEM.

Charging System - Test
The condition of charge in the battery at each
regular inspection will show if the charging system
is operating correctly. An adjustment is necessary
when the battery is constantly in a low condition of
charge or a large amount of water is needed. There
are no adjustments on maintenance free batteries.
A large amount of water would be more than one
ounce of water per cell per week or per every 100
service hours.
Testing and Adjusting Section
When it is possible, make a test of the charging
unit and voltage regulator on the engine, and use
wiring and components that are a permanent part of
the system. Off-engine testing or bench testing will
give a test of the charging unit and voltage regulator
operation. This testing will give an indication of
needed repair. After repairs are made, perform a test
in order to prove that the units have been repaired to
the original condition of operation.
Alternator Regulator
The charging rate of the alternator should be checked
when an alternator is charging the battery too much
or not charging the battery enough.
Alternator output should be 28 ± 1 volt on a 24 volt
system and 14 ± 0.5 volt on a 12 volt system. No
adjustment can be made in order to change the rate
of charge on the alternator regulators. If the rate of
charge is not correct, a replacement of the regulator
is necessary. For individual alternator output, refer to
Specification, “Alternator and Regulator”.
i01945632
Electric Starting System - Test
General Information
All electrical starting systems have four elements:
• Ignition switch
• Start relay
• Starting motor solenoid
• Starting motor
Start switches have a capacity of 5 to 20 amperes.
The coil of a start relay draws about 1 ampere
between test points. The switch contacts of the start
relay for the starting motor are rated between 100
and 300 amperes. The start relay can easily switch
the load of 5 to 50 amperes for the starting motor
solenoid.
The starting motor solenoid is a switch with a capacity
of about 1000 amperes. The starting motor solenoid
supplies power to the starter drive. The starting motor
solenoid also engages the pinion to the flywheel.
The starting motor solenoid has two coils. The
pull-in coil draws about 40 amperes. The hold-in coil
requires about 5 amperes.
When the magnetic force increases in both coils,
the pinion gear moves toward the ring gear of the
flywheel. Then, the solenoid contacts close in order
to provide power to the starting motor. When the
solenoid contacts close, the ground is temporarily
removed from the pull-in coil. Battery voltage is
supplied on both ends of the pull-in coil while the
starting motor cranks. During this period, the pull-in
coil is out of the circuit.
Cranking of the engine continues until current to the
solenoid is stopped by releasing the ignition switch.
Power which is available during cranking varies
according to the temperature and condition of the
batteries. The following chart shows the voltages
which are expected from a battery at the various
temperature ranges.

conditions:
• Loose connections
• Corroded connections
• Faulty switch contacts
Diagnosis Procedure
The procedures for diagnosing the starting motor
are intended to help the technician determine if a
starting motor needs to be replaced or repaired. The
procedures are not intended to cover all possible
problems and conditions. The procedures serve only
as a guide.
Note: Do not crank the engine for more than 30
seconds. Allow the starter to cool for two minutes
before cranking the engine again.
If the starting motor does not crank or cranks slow,
perform the following procedure:
1. Measure the voltage of the battery.
Measure the voltage across the battery posts with
the multimeter when you are cranking the engine
or attempting to crank the engine. Do not measure
the voltage across the cable post clamps.
a. If the voltage is equal or greater than the
voltage in Table 9, then go to Step 2.
b. The battery voltage is less than the voltage in
Table 9.
A low charge in a battery can be caused by
several conditions.
• Deterioration of the battery
• A shorted starting motor
• A faulty alternator
• Loose drive belts
• Current leakage in another part of the
electrical system
2. Measure the current that is sent to the starting
motor solenoid from the positive post of the
battery.
Note: If the following conditions exist, do not perform
the test in Step 2 because the starting motor has a
problem.
• The voltage at the battery post is within 2 volts
of the lowest value in the applicable temperature
range of Table 9.
•
The large starting motor cables get hot.
Use a suitable ammeter in order to measure the
current. Place the jaws of the ammeter around the
cable that is connected to the “bat” terminal. Refer
to the Specifications Module, “Starting Motor” for
the maximum current that is allowed for no load
conditions.
The current and the voltages that are specified
in the Specifications Module are measured
at a temperature of 27°C (80°F). When the
temperature is below 27°C (80°F), the voltage will
be lower through the starting motor. When the
temperature is below 27°C (80°F), the current
through the starting motor will be higher. If the
current is too great, a problem exists in the starting
motor. Repair the problem or replace the starting
motor.
If the current is within the specification, proceed
to Step 3.
3. Measure the voltage of the starting motor.
a. Use the multimeter in order to measure the
voltage of the starting motor, when you are
cranking or attempting to crank the engine.
b. If the voltage is equal or greater than the
voltage that is given in Table 9, then the battery
and the starting motor cable that goes to the
starting motor are within specifications. Go to
Step 5.
c. The starting motor voltage is less than the
voltage specified in Table 9. The voltage drop
between the battery and the starting motor is
too great. Go to Step 4.
4. Measure the voltage.
a. Measure the voltage drops in the cranking
circuits with the multimeter. Compare the
results with the voltage drops which are
allowed in Table 10.
b. Voltage drops are equal to the voltage drops
that are given in Table 10 or the voltage drops
are less than the voltage drops that are given
in Table 10. Go to Step 5 in order to check the
engine.
c. The voltage drops are greater than the voltage
drops that are given in Table 10. The faulty
component should be repaired or replaced.
Testing and Adjusting Section
5. Rotate the crankshaft by hand in order to ensure
that the crankshaft is not stuck. Check the oil
viscosity and any external loads that could affect
the engine rotation.
a. If the crankshaft is stuck or difficult to turn,
repair the engine.
b. If the engine is not difficult to turn, go to Step 6.
6. Attempt to crank the starting motor.
a. The starting motor cranks slowly.
Remove the starting motor for repair or
replacement.
b. The starting motor does not crank.
Check for the blocked engagement of the
pinion gear and flywheel ring gear.
Note: Blocked engagement and open solenoid
contacts will give the same electrical symptoms.
