Safety information
Introduction
This workshop manual contains technical data, descriptions and repair instructions for the Volvo Penta products or product versions noted in the table of contents. Check that you have the correct Workshop Manual for your engine. Read the available safety information, General information and Repair instructions in the workshop manual before you start to do any service work. Take care to avoid contact with hot surfaces (exhaust pipes, Turbocharger, air intake pipe, starter heater etc.) andfluids in pipes and hoses in an engine which is running or has just been stopped. Reinstall all protective parts removed during servicework before starting the engine.

Never start the engine with the valve cover removed. Apart from the risk of spilling oil, there is a risk of personal injury. The voltage supplied to the unit injectors can be as high as 100 V. Check that the warning or information labels on the product are always clearly visible. Replace labels which have been damaged or painted over. Never start the engine without installing the air cleaner filter. The rotating compressor turbine in the turbocharger can cause severe injury. Foreign objects entering the intake ducts can also cause mechanical damage. Never use start spray or similar products as a starting aid. They may cause an explosion in the inlet manifold. Danger of personal injury. Avoid opening the coolant filling cap when the engine is hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out and the system pressure will be lost. Open the filler cap slowly, and release the pressure in the cooling system if the filling cap or tap has to be opened, or if a plug or coolant hose has to be removed when the engine is hot. It is difficult to anticipate in which direction steam or hot coolant can spray out. Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot oil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not under pressure before carrying out any work. Never start or operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed, otherwise oil could be ejected. Stop the engine and close the sea cocks before doing any work on the cooling system. Only start the engine in a well- ventilated area. When operated in a confined space, exhaust fumes and crankcase gases must be ventilated from the engine bay or workshop area.

Important
In this book and on the product you will find the following special warning symbols. WARNING! Warns for the risk of personal injury, major damage to product or property, or serious malfunctions if the instruction is ignored. IMPORTANT! Is used to call attention to things which could cause damage or malfunctions to product or property. NOTE! Is used to call attention to important information, to facilitate work processes or operation. Below is a summary of the risks involved and safety precautions you should always observe or carry out when operating or servicing the engine.

Make it impossible to start the engine by cutting system current with the main switch(es)and lock it (them) in the off position before starting service work. Set up a warning notice by the helm station. As a general rule all service operations must be carried out with the engine stopped. Some tasks, such as adjustments, need the engine to be running, however. Approaching an engine which is operating is a safety hazard. Remember that loose clothing or long hair can fasten in rotating parts and cause serious personal injury. If work is done adjacent to a running engine, a careless movement or a dropped tool can lead to personal injury in the worst case.

Group 30: Electrical system Always use protective glasses or goggles when carrying out work where there is a risk of splinters, grinding sparks, acid splashes or where other chemicals are used. Your eyes are extremely sensitive, injury could cause blindness! Avoid getting oil on your skin! Repeated exposure to oil or exposure over a long period can result in the skin becoming dry. Irritation, dryness and eczema and other skin problems can then occur. Used oil is more dangerous than fresh oil from a health aspect. Use protective gloves and avoid oilsoaked clothes and rags. Wash regularly, especially before eating. There are special skin creams which counteract drying out of the skin and make it easier to clean off dirt after work is completed. Most chemicals intended for the product (e.g. engine and transmission oils, glycol, petrol (gasoline) and diesel oil) or chemicals for workshop use (e.g. degreasers, paints and solvents) are hazardous. Read the instructions on the product packaging with care! Always follow the safety precautions for the product (for example use of protective mask, glasses, gloves etc.). Make sure that other personnel are not inadvertently exposed to hazardous chemicals, for example in the air. Ensure good ventilation in the work place. Follow the instructions provided when disposing of used or leftover chemicals. Exercise extreme care when leak detecting on the fuel system and testing the fuel injector nozzles. Use eye protection. The jet which comes from a fuel injector has very high pressure and considerable penetrationability. Fuel can force its way deep into body tissue and cause severe injury. Danger of blood poisoning (septicemia). All fuels, and many chemicals, are flammable. Do not allow naked flame or sparks in the vicinity. Petrol (gasoline), some thinners and hydrogen gas from batteries are extremely flammable and explosive when mixed with air in the correct ratio. No Smoking! Ensure that the work area is well ventilated and take the necessary safety precautions before starting welding or grinding work. Always ensure that there are fire extinguishers at hand when work is being carried out. Make sure that oil and fuel soaked rags, and used fuel and oil filters are stored in a safe place. Rags soaked in oil can spontaneously ignite under certain circumstances. Used fuel and oil filters are polluting waste and must be handed to an approved waste management facility for destruction, together with used lubrication oil, contaminated fuel, paint residue, solvents, degreasers and wash residue.

Safety information Batteries must never be exposed to open flames or electric sparks. Never smoke close to the batteries. The batteries generate hydrogen gas when charged, which forms an explosive gas when mixed with air. This gas is easily ignited and highly volatile. A spark, which can be caused by incorrect battery connection, can cause a single spark which is sufficient to cause an explosion with resulting damage. Do not move the connections when you attempt to start the engine (risk of arcing), and do not stand and lean over one of the batteries. Always ensure that the Plus (positive) and Minus (negative) battery cables are correctly installed on the corresponding terminal posts on the batteries. Incorrect installation can result in serious damage to the electrical equipment. Refer to the wiring diagram. Always use protective goggles when charging and handling the batteries. Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive. Should the battery electrolyte come into contact with unprotected skin wash off immediately using plenty of water and soap. If you get battery acid in your eyes, flush at once with a generous amount of water, and get medical assistance at once. Turn the engine off and turn off the power at the main switch(es) before carrying out work on the electrical system. Clutch adjustments must be carried out with the engine stopped. The existing lugs on the engine/reversing gear should be used for lifting the assembly. Always check that the lifting devices are in good condition and that they have the correct capacity for the lift (the weight of the engine plus the reversing gear and extra equipment). The engine should be lifted with a customized or adjustable lifting boom for safe handling and to avoid damaging components on top of the engine. All chains or cables should be parallel to each other and should be as square as possible to the top of the engine. If other equipment connected to the engine has altered its center of gravity, special lifting devices may be needed to obtain the correct balance and safe handling. Never do any work on an engine which just hangs from a liftingdevice.

Safety information Never work alone when removing heavy engine components, even when using lifting devices such as locking tackle lifts. When using a lifting device two people are usually required to do the work, one to take care of the lifting device and another to ensure that components are lifted clear and not damaged during the lifting operations. When you work aboard a boat, always make sure that there is enough space for disassembly where you are working, with no risk of personal injury or material damage.

Group 30: Electrical system Remember the following when washing with a high pressure washer: Never aim the water jet at seals, rubber hoses or electrical components. Never use a high pressure washer for engine cleaning.

Only use the fuels recommended by Volvo Penta. Refer to the Instruction Book. Use of fuels that are of a lower quality can damage the engine. Poor fuel can also lead to highermaintenance costs.

Components in the electrical and fuel systems on Volvo Penta products have been designed to minimize the risks of explosion and fire. The engine must not be run in areas where there are explosive materials.

General information
About this Workshop Manual
This Workshop Manual contains descriptions and instructions for the repair of marine diesel engines D9A2A MP, D9A2A MH and D12D-B MP. The engine designation and number are noted on the number plate and engine decal. The engine designation and number must always be given in all correspondence about any product. The Workshop Manual is produced primarily for the use of Volvo Penta workshops and service technicians. This assumes that people who use the Manual have basic knowledge of marine drive systems and can do the tasks of a mechanical or electrical nature associated with the trade. Volvo Penta constantly improves its products, so we reserve the right to make modifications without prior notification. All information in this manual is based on product data which was available up to the date on which the manual was printed. Any material changes introduced into the product or service methods after this date are notified by means of Service Bulletins.

Certified engines
When doing service and repair on emission certified engines, it is important to be aware of the following: Certification means that an engine type has been checked and approved by the relevant authority. The engine manufacturer guarantees that all engines made of the same type are equivalent to the certified engine. This makes special demands on service and repair work, as follows:

Maintenance and service intervals recommended by Volvo Penta mustbe complied with. Only Volvo Penta original spares may be used. Service to injection pumps, pump settings and injectors must always be done by an authorized Volvo Penta workshop. The engine must not be converted or modified, except for the accessories and service kits which Volvo Penta has approved for the engine. No installation changes to the exhaust pipe and engine air inlet ducts may be done. No seals may be broken by unauthorized personnel.

The general advice in the instruction book about operation, care and maintenance applies. IMPORTANT! Delayed or inferior care/maintenance, and the use of non-original spares,parts means that AB Volvo Penta can no longer be responsible for guaranteeing that the engine complies with the certified version. Damage andd /or costs which arise from this will not be compensated by Volvo Penta.

Spare parts
Spare parts for electrical- and fuel systems are subject to various national safety requirements, such as U.S. Coast Guard Safety Regulations. Volvo Penta Original Spare Parts meet these specifications. Any damage, occasioned by use of non--original Volvo Penta spares for the product, will be not be compensated by the warranty offered by Volvo Penta.

Repair instructions

Group 30: Electrical system

Repair instructions
The working methods described in the Workshop Manual apply to work carried out in a workshop. For this reason, the engine is lifted out of the boat and mounted on an equipment support. Renovationwork which does not need the engine to be lifted out can be done in situ, with the same work methods, unless otherwise specified. The warning signs which occur in the workshop manual (please refer to Safety information for their meanings).

Our common responsibility


Each engine consists of a large number of collaborating systems and components. Any deviation of a component from its technical specification can dramatically increase the environmental impact of an otherwise good engine. For this reason, it is important that the specified wear tolerances are observed, that systems which are adjustable are correctly adjusted and that Volvo Penta Original Spares are used for the engine. The stated service intervals in the Maintenance Schedule must be observed. Some systems, such as the components in the fuel system, require special expertise and special testing equipment for service and maintenance. For environmental reasons etc., some components are sealed at the factory. It is only permissible to work on sealed components if you are authorized to do such work. Remember that most chemical products, incorrectly used, damage the environment. Volvo Penta recommends the use of biodegradable degreasers whenever engine components are de-greased, unless otherwise specified in the workshop manual. When working aboard a boat, be careful to ensure that oils, wash residue etc. are processed for destruction, and are not inadvertently discharged with bilge water into the environment.

WARNING! IMPORTANT! NOTE!


are not comprehensive in any way, since we can not of course foresee everything, because service work is done in highly varying circumstances. For this reason, all we can do is to point out the risks which we believe could occur due to incorrect work in a well-equipped workshop, using work methods and tools tested by us. All operations described in the Workshop Manual for which there are Volvo Penta Special Tools available assume that these tools are used when carrying out the repair. Volvo Penta Special Tools have been developed to ensure the most safe and rational working methods possible. It is therefore the responsibility of anyone using other tools or other working methods than we recommend to determine that there is no risk of personal injury or mechanical damage or malfunction as a result. In some cases special safety precautions and user instructions may be required in order to use the tools and chemicals mentioned in the Workshop Manual. These rules must always be observed, so there are no special instructions about this in the workshop manual. By following these basic recommendations and usingusing common sense it is possible to avoid most of the risks involved in the work. A clean work place and a clean engine will eliminate many risks of personal injury and engine malfunction. Above all, when work on fuel systems, lubrication systems, induction systems, turbocharger, bearing caps and seals is done, it is extremely important that no dirt or other kinds of foreign particles are able to get in, since this would otherwise cause malfunctions or shortened repair life.

Torque
The tightening torque for vital fasteners, which should be tightened with a torque wrench, are listed in Technical Data: Special tightening torques and noted in the job descriptions in the book. All torque specifications apply to clean screws, screw heads and mating faces. Torque data stated apply to lightly oiled or dry threads. Iflubricants, locking fluids or sealants are needed on a fastener, the type of preparation to be used will be noted in the job description. For fasteners where specific torque values are not given, please refer to Technical data: General tightening torques. General torque specifications are target values and the fastener does not need to be tightened with a torque wrench.

System Description EMS2
EMS2* is a system for electronic diesel engine control. The system has been developed by Volvo Penta and includes fuel control and diagnostic function
* EMS= Electronic Management System.

Diagnostics

Engine speed Throttle opening Oil pressuree /temperature Charge air pressuree /temperature Crankcase pressure Coolant temperature

Camshaft position Fuel alarm, water in fuel Fuel pressure Coolant level/oil level Piston cooling pressure

Injectionadvance

Fuel volume

Checking the waste gate (D12-800)

Control unit
The EMS system processor is located in the controlunit, protected from water and vibration. The processor receives continuous information about:

This means that the engine always receives the correct volume of fuel in all operating conditions, which offers lower fuel consumption, minimal exhaust emissions etc. The control unit checks and monitors the unitinjectorsto ensure that the correct volume of fuel is injected into each cylinder, and it calculates and adjusts the injection advance. Regulation is mainly done with the aid of the engine speed sensors and the combined sensor for charge air pressure/charge air temperature. The control unit controls the unit injectors via a signal to the electromagnetically operated fuel valve in each injector, which can be opened and closed. When the fuel valve is open, fuel flows through the holes in the unit injectors and out through the fuel duct. Fuel is not injected into the cylinders in this phase. When the fuel valve is closed, pressure is built up by the mechanically driven pump piston in the unit injector. When enough pressure has been built up, fuel is injected into the cylinder via the nozzle part of the unit injector. The fuel valve is re-opened and pressure in the unit injector falls at the same time as fuel injection to the cylinder ceases. The control unit receives signals from various sensors on the engine, which allow it to decide when the fuel valve should be opened and closed.

The information provides information about current operation conditions and allows the processor to calculate the correct fuel volume, monitor engine status etc.

Fuel control
The amount of fuel injected into the engine and the injection advance are fully electronically controlled, via fuel valves and the unit injectors, once the control unit has analyzed the engines fuel requirements.

Group 30: Electrical system

Design and function

Calculation of fuel quantity


The quantity of fuel to be injected into the cylinder is calculated by the control unit. The calculation gives the time when the fuel valve is closed (fuel is injected into the cylinder when the fuel valve is closed). The parameters which govern the amount of fuel injected are:

Cylinder balancing
During idling, the control unit can provide the cylinders with different amounts of fuel. This is to give the engine more even idling. At higher engine speeds, all cylinders receive the same amount of fuel.

Diagnostic function
The EMS system has a built-in diagnostic function which can discover any faults in the engine and sensors. The function of the diagnostic function is to discover and localize any function faults in the EMS system, to protect the engine and guarantee continued operation if a serious function fault should occur. If a function fault is discovered, the diagnostic lamp in the control panel starts to flash. By pressing the diagnostic button D for at least 5 seconds, you can read off a fault code as a guide to fault tracing.

Demanded engine speed Engine protection functions Charge air temperature Charge air pressure

Normal start
Both the camshaft sensor and flywheel sensor function normally. The engine is cranked until the engine control unit discovers that cylinder 1 is next in line for injection. Fuel is injected and the engine starts.

Idling adjustment (low idle) Starting without the camshaft sensor


If the engine control unit discovers that the camshaft signal is not available, the engine control unit will still attempt to start the engine. When the engine control unit detects a break in the pulse train from the flywheel sensor, one of the cylinders is in the position for injection, but the engine control unit does not know which one. The engine control unit guesses which cylinder is next in line, and injects fuel at the same time as it monitors engine speed to see if it increases. If engine speed does not increase, the guess was wrong and the engine control unit tries again. It will take a bit longer time to start the engine, but it will start with no problems apart from setting a fault code. Idling speed can be adjusted to a value between 500 750 rpm.

EVC system
The EVC system (Electronic Vessel Control) is a socalled distributed system. Distributed systems consist of many smaller electronic units (nodes) located at suitable places in the boat. The EVC nodes are the PCU (Powertrain Control Unit) and the HCU (Helm station Control Unit). The nodes are located close to their external components. The control station control unit is located close to the control station. The driveline control unit is located in the engine room. Each node is connected to a number of external components such as sensors, controls, instruments and control levers. Each PCU and HCU is programmed for a specific engine. There is a decal on each PCU and HCU, containing a serial number and CHASSIS ID number. The CHASSIS ID number must coincide with the CHASSIS ID number on the decals on the engine.

Starting without the flywheel sensor


If the engine control unit discovers that the flywheel signal is not available, the engine control unit will still attempt to start the engine. Injection will be monitored using information from the camshaft sensor. Injection will not be as exact as normal, and the engine will have reduced power. If the engine starts, idling speed will be unstable. The engine control unit will not be able to do any cylinder balancing.

11

Design and function A data link (a CAN bus) links the nodes to each other. They combine to form a data network and the nodes exchange information and benefit from each others services. The principle of using a network of nodes to which all components are connected means that the amount of cable installation is radically reduced. A distributed system allows the system architecture to be extended by adding extra equipment. New nodes can be connected to the network with minimal changes to the cables. Functionality becomes more effective since the nodes are allowed to collaborate and combine their resources, which creates a more useful and safer product.

Group 30: Electrical system Low speed Boats with powerful engines can be difficult to maneuver in restricted spaces, since the boat runs at high speed even when idling. This problem is eliminated thanks to the low speed function. The EVC allows the transmission to slip, in the same way as the clutch in a car, to make it possible to maintain low speed.

Display (optional) The EVC display is used is used as a complement to, or as a replacement for the instruments. The EVC display functionality is similar to the EDC display, but gives more information. The display is connected to the multi-link cable from the HCU.

Functions
Engine speed and gear shifting Engine speed and gear shifting is controlled electronically. The reversing gear drive is always protected against excess speed. The EVC system can have both dual-function electronic controls and mechanical controls with control adapters.

Fuel level EVC makes it easy to install fuel level indication. All that is needed is a fuel level sensor in the tank and a fuel gauge or display on the instrument panel. If a fuel level gauge is used, it should be connected to the instrument Easy Link in the HCU. The cable harness between the PCU and the engine has a connector for the fuel level sensor. No new cable installation needs to be done.

Engine synchronizing Engine synchronizing gives greater comfort, good fuel economy and minimized wear, thanks to reduced vibration and reduced sound levels. The master system (port) and slave system (starboard) must be able to communicate, to make synchronization possible. For this reason, a multi-link cable must be installed at the main helm station and all alternative helm stations.

Boat speed The EVC can indicate boat speed if you have a GPS which is compatible with NMEA 0183 and an NMEA unit. Boat speed can be shown on a display and in a log.

Instruments The instruments use a serial communication bus called Easy Link. Easy Link in combination with the rest of the EVC system radically reduces the need for cable installation, and simplifies installation.

Control (E)
Both electronic and mechanical controls can be used on the engines. If mechanical controls are used, they are connected to a separate control adapter with a potentiometer. NOTE! If a control has been changed, the new one must be calibrated (please refer to the section entitled Auto-configuration and calibration before starting).

Potentiometer
The potentiometer registers the movements of the control lever and gives the control module information about engine speed and gear shift demanded. The potentiometer is installed inside the control (or in a separate control adapter if a mechanical control is used). NOTE! When a potentiometer is changed, the new control unit must first be calibrated (please refer to the section entitled Auto-configuration and calibration before starting).

AUX stop button (5)


The AUX stop button is located highest up on the left side of the engine. When the AUX stop button is pressed, the engine will stop because the power supply to the engine control unit has been shut off.

Component description

Solenoid valves, Forwards Reverse (T)


The solenoid valves for gear shifting are located on the reversing gear. The valves are ordinary OFF ON valves which allow oil to pass to the correct clutch when ON. When sufficient oil pressure has been built up, the clutch is activated (the oil pressure is raised gradually to give gentle engagement). In the OFF position, the oil in the clutch is emptied and the reversing gear goes into neutral.

Solenoid valve, trolling (U)


The solenoid valve is installed on the reversing gear. The valve opens successively and releases oil to the trolling valve in proportion to the control position.

Sensor, oil pressure/ oil temperature, reversing gear (V)


Oil pressure and oil temperature are measured by a combined sensor located on the reversing gear. The temperature sensor consists of a non-linear resistor, whose resistance varies with reversing gear temperature. The resistance falls as the oil temperature rises. The output signal from the pressure sensor is a voltage signal which is proportional to the oil pressure in the reversing gear. The sensor is supplied by a 5 Volt reference voltage from the PCU.

Starter motor
The starter motor is installed in the flywheel housing, on the right-hand side of the engine. The starter motor relay is negative connected, which means that the relay receives a negative signal () during the starting sequence. The starter motor solenoid is engaged via the starter relay, which is activated when the starter key is turned to position III. The starter relay (1) is installed on the side of the starter motor solenoid. A first-start relay is also included in the starter motor circuit. This is located underneath the plastic housing beside the stop button bracket.

Overheating protection The starter motor circuit is automatically cut for 30 seconds to protect the starter motor against overheating. Leave the starter motor to cool for at least five minutes (if possible) before making a new start attempt.

Component description

Unit injector
The unit injectors are installed on the cylinder head, underneath the valve cover. The amount of fuel injected and injection duration is controlled by the control unit, via electromagnetically controlled fuel valves in the unit injectors. This means that the engine always receives the correct volume of fuel in all operating conditions, which offers lower fuel consumption, minimal exhaust emissions etc.

Piston cooling monitor (D12-800)


A valve is installed in the oil filter bracket which opens or closes the oil supply for piston cooling, depending on oil pressure. If the oil pressure is below 240 kPa, the valve closes the oil supply for piston cooling. The piston cooling pressure is monitored by a pressure monitor. The output signal from the pressure monitor can only have two distinct positions, on/off, in the same way as a relay output. The monitor is supplied with current from the engine control unit. A preset pressure limit of 150 kPa determines when the monitor switches on. The monitor opens if the pressure exceeds this value. At idle, the monitor can be closed without a fault code being set.

Sensor, fuel pressure (6)


The sensor measures fuel pressure and is located on the fuel filter bracket. The sensor is an active sensor, i.e. the sensor requires a supply voltage of +5 Volt. The sensor provides an output signal whose voltage is proportional to the pressure that the sensor measures.

Coolant temperature sensor (5)


The sensor is located on the left-hand side of the cylinder head. The sensor consists of a non-linear resistor, whose resistance varies with coolant temperature. The resistance falls as the coolant temperature rises.

Sensor, charge air pressure / charge air temperature (3)


The charge air pressure and charge air temperature are measured by a combined sensor, which is located in the inlet manifold. The sensor is supplied by a 5 Volt reference voltage from the engine control module. The charge air pressure sensor measures the absolute pressure, which is the sum of the charge air pressure and atmospheric pressure. (300 kPa corresponds with a charge pressure of 200 kPa when atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa). The sensor provides a voltage signal which is proportional to absolute pressure. The charge air temperature sensor consists of a non-linear resistor, whose resistance varies with charge air temperature. The resistance falls as the temperature rises.

Sensor, oil pressure/ oil temperature, engine (4)


Oil temperature and oil pressure are measured by a combined sensor. The sensor is supplied with 5 Volt from the engine control module. The sensor is installed on the oil filter bracket and measures the pressure in the main oil gallery. The oil temperature sensor consists of a non-linear resistor, whose resistance varies with engine oil temperature. The resistance falls as the oil temperature rises. The pressure signal gives an output signal whose voltage is proportional to the pressure that the sensor measures.

Sensor, camshaft position (10)


The camshaft position sensor is located furthest back on the right side of the engine and is identical with the engine speed sensor. The sensor is inductive. The sensor reads a toothed wheel with seven teeth (six of which have the same spacing) on the camshaft. The impulses from the cam position sensor provide the control unit with information about the cylinder which is next in line for fuel injection.

Sensor, engine speed (flywheel) (10)


The sensor is located on top of the flywheel housing and is identical with the camshaft position sensor. The sensor is inductive. This reads the crankcase angle and speed by means of grooves in the flywheel. The signal is sent to the control unit, which calculates the injection advance and the amount of fuel to be injected.

Group 30: Electrical system

Engine control unit (9)


The control unit checks and controls the unit injectors, to ensure that the correct volume of fuel is injected into each cylinder. It also calculates and adjusts the injection advance. Regulation is mainly done with the aid of the engine speed sensors and the combined sensor for charge air pressurek/charge air temperature. The EMS system processor is located in the control unit, unit, protected from water and vibration. The processor receives continuous information about:

Engine speed Throttle opening Oil pressure Oil temperature Crankcase pressure Charge air pressuree /temperature Fuel pressure Fuel alarm, water in fuel Camshaft position Coolant level/oil level Coolant temperature

The information provides information about current operation conditions and allows the processor to calculate the correct fuel volume, monitor engine status etc.

Monitor, coolant level (1)


The monitor is located under the coolant expansion tank. The monitor can assume two states, on/off. When the coolant level is correct, the monitor is on, i.e. a current flows to the engine control unit.

Water monitor, secondary fuel filter (8)


A monitor is located underneath the secondary fuel filter in the water trap. Its task is to discover water in the fuel system. The monitor consists of two copper pins, between which resistance is measured. When the resistance falls below a limit value (which happens when water gets into the fuel), the control module receives an alarm signal.

Repair instructions
General advice on working with EVC engines
The following advice must be followed to avoid damage to the engine control unit and other electronics. IMPORTANT! The system must be switched off and the system current disconnected when any of the connectors on the engine control unit is connected or disconnected.

Only batteries may be used for start help. A help start device can produce a very high voltage and damage the control unit and other electronics. If damage is discovered in a cable harness the two 36-pin connectors for the enginecontrol unit and the 8-pin connector between the engine and the EVC system must be disconnected. If a connector is disconnected from a sensor, be very careful to avoid allowing the contact pins to come into contact with oil, water or dirt.

Never disconnect the current with the main switches when an engine is running. Never undo a battery cable when the engine is running. Turn the main switches off or disconnect the battery cables during quick charging of the batteries. NOTE! During normal trickle charging, it is not necessary to turn the main switches off.

Electric welding
IMPORTANT! Undo all connectors from the enginecontrol unit before you start electric welding. IMPORTANT! Cut the engine current before the control unit connector is disconnected. Cut the current with the main switches. Then disconnect all connections to the alternator. Undo the connector from the engine control unit and from the power supply unit. Please refer to more detailed instructions in the Workshop manual group 2126, Control unit, changing. Connect the welder earth clamp to the component to be welded, or as close as possible to the weld site. The clamp must never be connected to the engine or in such a way that current can pass through a bearing. IMPORTANT! After welding is completed, the disconnected components, such as alternator cables and battery cables must be connected in the correct order.

Fault tracing of cables and connectors


Special tools: 9812519, 999 8482

Contact problems
Intermittent contact or temporary recurring faults can be difficult to fault trace, and are frequently caused by oxidation, vibration or poorly terminated cables. Wear can also cause faults. For this reason, avoid disconnecting a connector unless it is necessary. Other contact problems can be caused by damage to pins, sockets and connectors etc. Shake cables and pull connectors during measurement, to find where the cable is damaged.

Check all connectors visually


Check the following: ! Look for oxidation which can impair contact in connectors.
!

Check that terminals are undamaged, that they are correctly inserted into their connectors, and that the cable is correctly terminated in the terminal. Check that there is good mechanical contact in the connector. Use a loose pin to check this. IMPORTANT! The multi-pin connectors for the engine control unit must only be checked with gauge 999 8482.

Contact resistance and oxidation


Resistance in connectors, cables and junctions should be close to 0 . A certain amount of resistance will occur, however, because of oxidation in connectors. If this resistance is too great, malfunctions occur. The amount of resistance that can be tolerated before malfunctions occur varies, depending on the load in the circuit.

Carefully insert gauge 999 8482 into the multi-pin connector. Pull and push the connector in and out a few times and feel whether the terminal socket grasps the tool. If the terminal socket does not grasp, or if it feels slack, the connection pins should be changed. Please refer to Joining electrical cables for multi-connector Check the secondary locking in the connector.

Open circuit
Possible reasons for faults could be chafed or broken cables, or connectors which have come undone. Use the wiring schedule to check the cable harnesses which are relevant to the function. Start off with the most probable cable harness in the circuit. Check the following: Disconnect the relevant connector at each end of the cable harness.

Use multimeter 9812519 to measure the resistance between the ends of the cable. Nominal value close to 0 . If possible, shake the cables and pull the connectors during measurement to discover whether the cable harness is damaged. Check the next cable harness in the wiring schedule if no fault has been found.

If possible, shake the cables and pull the connectors during measurement to discover whether the cable harness is damaged. Check that the cables are not damaged. Avoid clamping cables in tight bends close to the connector. Check the function of the secondary locking.

Malfunctions If you want to check the CAN bus cables between the engine control unit and the PCU, you can also measure the resistance when the cables are connected at one end. 1 Disconnect the PCU. 2 Measure the resistance between pin 17 (cable colors: yellow/white) and pin 7 (cable colors: gray/yellow) against the engine control unit. The measurement value should be 120 . 3 Repeat the measurement in the other direction. Connect the PCU and disconnect the engine control unit. 4 Measure the resistance between pin 1 (cable colors: yellow/white) and pin 2 (cable colors: gray/yellow) against the PCU. The measurement value should be 120 .

Network
The system has two types of communication buses.

CAN
A data link, a CAN bus, links the nodes to each other. CAN means Controller Area Network and is an industrial standard for distributed systems. The CAN bus consists of a pair of copper conductors which are twisted 30 times per meter. The nodescommunicate via the CAN bus and they form a network together, which exchanges information and benefits from each others services. The CAN bus is a serial bus and is the primary control bus.

J1587
The J1587 communication bus is used as a reserve bus and is also used for accessories and diagnostics. This is a serial bus in accordance with standard SAE J1708.

Manual fault tracing in bus cables


Special tools: Multimeter 9812519
IMPORTANT! Disconnect system power before disconnecting the cables. Use multimeter 9812519 to check the bus cables. The conductors in the bus cables should not be in contact with each other. To check this, disconnect a bus cable at both ends and measure the resistance between the pins. The multimeter should show infinite resistance between each pin. If the resistance is less than infinite, you have found a fault. It can be difficult to check whether there is a cable fault in the bus cable when it is installed in the engine. For this reason, always include checked bus extension cables in the fault-tracing equipment. Connect the extension cable to one end of the boats bus cable and run it back to the other end of the bus cable, so that you can check each conductor individually. You can now check all the pins.

Measuring the engine cables


Two types of measurement are done on the engine cable harness, both resistance measurement and voltage measurement. The measurements are done to ensure that no open circuits or short circuits occur. If there is an open circuit, the resistance is infinite, and if there is a short circuit, it is close to zero. The resistance values given in the workshop manual are approximate, and should be regarded as guidelines.

NOTE!
During resistance measurement, the engine must be stopped and the main switch be in position 0, the system must be disconnected from system voltage. In other cases, the wrong resistance value can be measured. All resistance measurement is done at +20 C (68 F) and with a cold engine.

Fault tracing the EVC system


Special tools: VODIA 3838619
Check that the system has the correct power supply. The best way to retrieve diagnostic information from the EVC is to use the VODIA tool (383 8619). The VODIA tool shows the fault codes as text, and you can retrieve information about each fault code. When you set an HCU in service mode, VODIA can communicate with the HCU to read fault codes and log its parameters. Since all HCUs have the same ECU (MID) number, only one HCU can be put into service mode at any one time. It would not otherwise be possible to identify the HCU which issued a fault code. In a twin installation, the codes can only be read from the network in which the node is located. When VODIA is connected to the port network, VODIA can only show fault codes from the port driveline, and vice versa for the starboard side.

Problems in identifying the enginecontrol unit (MID 128)


In normal cases, VODIA identifies the engine control unit (MID 128) and the PCU (MID 187) automatically when the choice of engine installation is done. The HCU must be in service mode to allow it to be identified. If VODIA is not able to identify the engine control unit (MID 128), this will not be visible under Vehicleinformation. NOTE! If the engine control unit has not been identified, it can not be programmed. One reason why identification can not be done is that the PCU contains the wrong engine software or that the J1708A and J1708B data buses between the engine control unit and the PCU are short circuited to each other. In this case, Vodia can not identify a control unit.

Stop
The system can not be shut down although the starter key is turned to position 0. This can be caused by a short circuit in the cables between the HCU and the key switch, by a short circuit in the key switch or a fault in the stop/start panel. Shut the system off with the AUX stop button. The starter motor is activated with the ignition on. If the starter motor is activated as soon as the switch is turned, the diode in the key switch cable harness might be short circuited. Fault trace the diode in accordance with the Checking the key switch diode section.

Checking the instruments


Special tools: Multimeter 9812519
The instruments are Easy Link types and receive their signals from a serial bus consisting of a total of 3 conductors. If a fault occurs in the Easy Link bus for the instruments, this can be discovered when the needles stop in the same positions on the instrument(s) (frozen). If no instruments work, make a check with multimeter 9812519 that there is +12 Volt between the red and blue cables in the Easy Link cable harness. Since common signals for various types of instruments pass through the same cable, it is difficult to determine whether information is missing from the serial bus, or if an individual instrument is faulty. If you suspect an instrument fault, you can use the following procedure to determine whether the instrument is fault or not. 1 Start the engine and let it idle, with the control lever in the neutral position. 2 Disconnect the instrument that is suspected of being faulty. 3 The fault disappears: - Check that there is no oxide or moisture in the relevant instruments connector. - Change the removed instrument and see if the fault is still gone when the new instrument is re-connected. The fault remains: Continue to disconnect instruments until instrument display is correct. Then try to connect the instruments again. Start with the instrument that was disconnected first, and continue to connect the instruments that were removed until indication no longer functions. Change the instrument that was connected last.

Fault indication
Indication for water in fuel flashes in the alarm panel.

Symptom

Circuit description
A monitor is located in the water trap under the fuel filter. Its task is to detect whether there is water in the fuel. The monitor senses the resistance between two copper pins. The copper pins are in contact with the water. When there is no water in the fuel, the resistance is very high. If there is any water in the fuel, the resistance falls. At a threshold resistance (water has been detected), the monitors output signal (yellow cable) to the engine control unit pin 8 will be pulled down to zero by a transistor. The engine control unit, pins 57 and 60 provides the monitor with battery voltage. The sensor is connected via pin 10 on the engine control unit to battery negative. EMS

Circuit description
Oil temperature sensor.

The sensor which measures oil temperature, is a combined sensor which also measures oil pressure. The property of a thermistor is that its resistance changes non-linearly with temperature in the medium it measures. When the oil in the engine is cold, the thermistor resistance is high. When the oil warms up, the thermistor resistance falls. The voltage drop across the thermistor changes as the oil temperature changes. The voltage drop is detected via pin 31 on the engine control unit. The engine control unit, pin 7, supplies the sensor, pin 1 with +5 Volt. The sensor, pin 4, is connected to battery negative via the engine control unit, pin 11.

A valve is installed in the oil filter bracket which opens or closes the oil supply for piston cooling, depending on oil pressure. If the oil pressure is below 240 kPa, the valve closes the oil supply for piston cooling. The piston cooling pressure is monitored by a pressure monitor. The output signal from the pressure monitor, pin 1 to the engine control unit, can only have two distinct positions, on/off. The monitor is supplied with current from the engine control unit pin 10.

Poor compression. Fault in injector. Asymmetric engine loading*.

Open circuit in the cables on the low voltage or high voltage side. If three fault codes are set (one bank), the open circuit is in that banks high voltage side. If there is only one fault code, the open circuit is on that injectors low voltage side.

* If the engine is asymmetrically loaded and a fault code occurs, it is not possible to rectify the fault code since there is no mechanical fault. When the engine idles, the engine control unit attempts to compensate for uneven running by supplying more or less fuel to the injectors, so-called cylinder balancing. If the asymmetric loading is to large, the engine control units attempts at compensation will not be enough, the engine will run unevenly and a fault code will be set.

Suitable action 1 Check the cables between the injector and the engine control unit.

Fault indication

Symptom
Engine runs unevenly. Engine is difficult to start or does not start.

Circuit description
Connector A Speed sensor (flywheel) The flywheel sensor is an inductive sensor. The flywheel sensor is used to monitor engine speed. It is also used to measure the cylinder acceleration. The flywheel has three times eighteen depressions for one rotation. These depressions are detected by the flywheel sensor and generate a pulsed signal which the engine control unit uses to detect flywheel rotation speed. Two cylinders share one sector of the depressions (cylinders 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4) on the flywheel. This means that it is not possible to know which cylinder is in line for injection, without the camshaft sensor.

3, 4, 5 Fault in wastegate valve or fault in cables

Fault indication
Orange lamp flashes in the alarm panel.

Symptom
Reduced power.

Circuit description
The engine is equipped with a turbocharger with waste gate valve. The waste gate valve controls the amount of exhaust gas flow which should pass through the exhaust turbine. Air pressure taken from the induction manifold is used to control the amount that the waste gate opens. An electronically controlled regulation valve which is controlled by the engine control unit controls the air pressure supplied to the waste gate valve. As the air pressure supplied by the control valve to the waste gate valve increases, the valve opens wider. When the waste gate valve is fully open, the exhaust gas flow to the exhaust turbine is at its lowest. The control valve is current controlled by the engine control valve, using a PWM signal. As the current supplied to the control valve increases, the charge air pressure increases. The charge air pressure is constantly monitored by a sensor installed in the induction manifold.

Special tools 98 12519, 999 8534
1 Check that the EVC system provides the correct power signal to the solenoid valve by connecting a bulb (12V/10W) to the connector. 2 Turn the main switches on. Turn the starter key to position 1 (drive position). 3 Activate the check mode by pressing the activation button (at least 1 second). 4 Engage the reversing gear (Forwards or Reverse). NOTE! Engine stopped. The lamp should light up when a gear is engaged. Does the lamp light up? YES: No brake from the PCU unit to the reversing gear. Try to move the connector between the primary and secondary solenoid valve, and see if the fault also moves. If the fault does not move, the fault is probably in the solenoid valve. NO: Go to step 5. 5 If the lamp does not light up, fault trace between the PCU unit and the reversing gear. Turn the current off at the main switches. Undo the connector from the PCU and the connector on the reversing gear. Check the resistance between the PCU and the reversing gear. Please refer to the cable descriptions for the correct values. The resistance should be close to 0 Ohm. Is the resistance close to 0 Ohm? YES: Go to step 6. NO: Change the cable between the PCU unit and the reversing gear, and re-do the checks from point 1. 6 If resistance measurements show that the cable is OK, the fault is probably in the PCU signals. Change the PCU unit and re-do the checks from point 1.

Automatic configuration and calibration before starting

General
Auto configuration and calibration must be done after the installation is completed. Auto-configuration means that the system discovers and defines all components connected to the system and generates a data file. NOTE! Auto-configuration must always be done after any changes have been made to the EVC system, such as if the system has been extended or repaired. The calibration routine is used to define the helm stations and idling speed for the EVC system. If a control is changed, the new control must be calibrated. NOTE! The engine can not be started until auto-configuration and control calibration has been done. Fault code MID 164, PSID 98 is displayed. This means: The control(s) is/are not calibrated.

Preparations
Start calibration mode
1 Move the control lever(s) to neutral position/idling position. Turn the main switches on. 2 Press the neutral button N, and keep it depressed and at the same time turn the starter key to position I (driving position). Keep the neutral button depressed until the yellow indication lamp gives constant light. Release the neutral button. 3 The neutral button indication now flashes to confirm that the EVC system is in calibration mode. 4 Repeat the procedure for the second engine in a twin installation. NOTE! The system returns from calibration mode after about 45 seconds if no other activities are done.

Auto configuration
Auto-configuration is the systems self-identification. Auto-configuration should always be done when the EVC system is started for the first time and before the system is calibrated. 1 Start calibration mode. Please refer to Preparations above. 2 Press the neutral button N and diagnostic button D at the same time. Keep the buttons depressed until all lamps on the control panel light up. This takes about 5 seconds. 3 Release the N and D buttons. The system responds by switching off and then lighting up all the lamps again. Auto-configuration is no complete. The EVC system has no identified the components. 4 Switch off the ignition.
