sensors available
This visual is taken from the Caterpillar HEUI HI300B Fuel System CD
RENR1392. This CD will supply all the information on the HEUI fuel
system, electronics and related diagnostics.
This HEUI system is very similar to the 3408E, 3412E and 3126 HEUI
systems. There are a number of features which differ from other engines.
The hydraulic pump is a completely new design.
There are no jumper tubes on the injectors. Oil under pressure is fed
directly from the cylinder head to the injectors.
There are two Hydraulic Oil Temperature Sensors installed on the engine.
Optional water in fuel and fuel pressure sensors may be installed in the
fuel supply system.
See also Student Handout No. 1 for a dedicated fuel supply system
diagram.

Cross flow cylinder
head
- Improves emissions
and fuel
consumption
The C-9 engine has a cross flow cylinder head. This feature allows for
improved emissions and fuel consumption by improving the combustion
airflow through the engine.

Air intake and exhaust
system schematic
Air intake heater
The air to air aftercooler is used in most applications, the exception is the
marine engine. By cooling the precharge air, this component increases
the mass flow of air through the engine, thus allowing more horsepower.
The air intake heater is used to aid starting and reduce white smoke in
cold conditions.
In most applications, the air intake heater has replaced the ether aid. In
extreme cold (Arctic) conditions, it is possible to use the ether aid in
conjunction with the air intake heater. At this time however, C-9 engines
are noT being built with an ether aid.

Wastegate bypasses
exhaust around the
turbocharger
Some C-9 applications are equipped with a turbocharger wastegate.
If the engine is required to respond rapidly at low rpm, it may be
necessary to optimize the turbocharger for this speed. In this case, the
turbocharger may develop excessive boost at rated speed and load.
The wastegate redirects a portion of the exhaust gasses past the
turbocharger which effectively limits turbocharger speed and boost. This
feature also limits cylinder pressure, thus protecting the engine from
undue stress.
The wastegate is preset at the factory and no adjustments can be made.

The C-9 Camshaft is mounted high up in the block to reduce the size of
the pushrods and therefore reduces the reciprocating mass of the valve
mechanism. This feature improves the ability of the engine to sustain an
overspeed without damage.

Air intake heater and
temperature sensor
Heater controlled by
ECM
System warns of high
air intake temperature
The air intake system has a heater and a temperature sensor. The Air
Intake Temperature Sensor is used by the ECM in conjunction with the
Coolant Temperature Sensor to calculate the need for air intake heating.
The ECM controls the heater through a relay mounted above the intake
manifold.
The Intake Temperature Sensor is also used by the ECM to warn the
operator of excessive air intake temperatures.
This view shows a Challenger C-9 installation. Other C-9 applications
will vary slightly in the sensor installation.
The Service Manual, Systems Operation section, describes the various
modes of operation of this system. A description of the operation is also
included with the Electronic Sensors and Systems portion of this STMG.

Fractured rod
Use care when
handling mating
surfaces
Fractured rod
manufacturing
process
This visual shows the fractured rod. The rod is deliberately fractured
during the manufacturing process in order to provide a mating surface that
does not allow fretting or sideways movement between the two halves of
the rod.
NOTE: Care should be taken to avoid damage to the mating faces during
handling. The rod must be replaced if there is any damage to the mating
surfaces. If the surfaces are damaged, bearing crush will be insufficient
which can cause the bearing to spin in its bore.
The fracture process involves the following steps:
The bolt holes are fully drilled, and tapped prior to fracture.
The fracture process begins with rough boring the crank end prior to
fracture (approximately. 1 mm undersize).
A laser (or "V" broach) is then used to etch a "V" notch for
initiating the crack split line.
A wedge is used in a hydraulically activated expanding mandrill to
force apart the rod and cap at the split line.
C-9 Engine - 20 -
07/02
15
After the rod is split, the bolts are inserted and the cap reassembled.
The bolts are tightened to about 90% of final torque, backed off,
and the cap removed.
The joint is then cleaned to remove any chips that may have broken
off, before the cap and rod are reassembled and the bolts re-
tightened down again. This procedure is performed twice.
Once tightened, the cap is not separated from the rod again during
the rest of the machining process. (Note: A fixture or torque gun
would be required to loosen the bolts prior to dispatch, or during
piston sub-assembly).
The advantages associated with fracturing the split are primarily reduced
machining operations. Some examples are as follows:
No machining of joint faces necessary.
No deburring of joint face edges due to perfectly matched joint
faces.
Elimination of dowels or fitted bolts (fracture surface results in a
perfectly mated joint).
Near net shape forgings (may eliminate the need for additional
balance machining).
Single clamping fixture required for machining bolt holes (no
separate cap and rod machining - same for bearing tab slots).
The majority of the benefits with fractured split rods lie in the
manufacturing process. There are other benefits such as virtual
elimination of fretting on the joint face, with the rod being able to accept
higher loads, due to perfectly matched surfaces. In addition, one of the
reported benefits of fractured split rods is that they tend to have a higher
processing quality than conventional rods due to the reduced machining
steps and controlled machining process. From a cost standpoint, this
feature can result in a part cost that is significantly reduced.

Crankshaft oil flow
Oil flow to rod
bearings
Related failure
analysis publications
This visual shows the path of oil flow from the main bearings to the rod
bearings.
It can be seen that three main bearings (1, 4 and 7) do not feed any rod
bearings. Two more main bearings (2 and 6) supply oil to one rod bearing
each. Main bearing numbers 3 and 5 supply oil to two rod bearings each.
This information is important if a bearing failure analysis is performed.
For additional information in bearing failure analysis, please refer to the
following AFA (Applied Failure Analysis) publications:

Lab Exercise:
The following exercise will reinforce the material introduced in the
preceding slides and will allow questions to be answered.
At this time, it is recommended that each component be located on the
machine and the function of each component reviewed with the students.
A list of the components follows on the next page.
If an engine is available out of a machine, component identification will
be easier because some components are difficult to see.
Some additional (used/defective) components available for examination
on a table will be helpful.

ECM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
This schematic shows the principle components for a typical C-9 power
supply circuit. Battery voltage is normally connected to the ECM.
However, an input from the key start switch turns the ECM ON.
Note the seven power connections on the ECM. There are three wires
permanently connected to the ECM battery positive and three to the
battery negative. This feature is used to reduce the amperage on the
individual pins. The actual current draw with the engine stopped with the
key off is very small.
There is also a switched connection from the battery positive (ECM
pin 70). The purpose of the "switched power" connection is to energize or
"wake up" the ECM. The key switch circuit energizes the whole ECM
from "sleep mode," which in turn activates power supplies, sensors,
actuators, injectors, data links etc.

The machine wiring harness can be bypassed for troubleshooting
purposes. These steps are described in the Troubleshooting Guide
procedure. A breakout harness can be used and is referenced under "C-9
Recommended Tooling" at the front of this book.
The supply voltage may be conveniently checked using the ET Status
Screen display.
NOTE 1: The Challenger Tractor engine and some industrial engines
may have a 12 Volt power supply.

ECM CONNECTOR (P1)
There are two 70 pin connectors which identify the ADEM III ECM. The
previous ADEM II ECM used a pair of 40 pin connectors.
The 70 pin ECM connectors are vital parts of all the power supplies (and
sensor circuits). This illustration shows one of the two ECM 70 pin
connectors, P1. The pins highlighted in this connector are for the ECM
power supply circuit.
The C-9 Engine does not have a separate machine interface connector.
The P1/J1 connector performs this function and transmits the power
supply from the machine wiring to the engine wiring harnesses.
The Troubleshooting Guide identifies the relevant pins for each circuit in
this manner. This feature greatly simplifies troubleshooting by easily
identifying the connections in the circuit.

INJECTOR AND COMPRESSION BRAKE
SOLENOID CIRCUITS
Injector and Compression Brake Power Supply
The injector and compression brake solenoids are supplied with power
from the ECM at 70 Volts. For this reason, precautions must be observed
when performing maintenance around the valve covers.
If an open or a short circuit occurs in an injector or compression brake
component, the ECM will disable that circuit. The ECM will periodically
try to actuate that circuit to determine if the fault is still present and will
disconnect or reconnect the injector/compression brake as appropriate.
The power supply wires are paired for each injector and brake solenoid.
Individual return circuits are provided which contain the solenoid drivers.
An 18 pin (P300/J300) connector is used to connect the main engine
wiring harness to the injector harness within the valve cover.
NOTE: If an injector is replaced, it must be calibrated. Also if an
ECM is replaced and injector calibration or copy configuration is not
performed, a fault message will be generated. (The Copy
Configuration function will transfer all calibrations to the new ECM.)

test, the pressure can be adjusted manually with the ET service tool from
minimum to maximum. Therefore, this function can be used to verify the
operation of the control valve, the power supply from the ECM, and the
hydraulic system.
There is no voltage specification for the Pump Control Valve Power
Supply. Current flow may vary between 250 and 1000 mA.

5 0.5 VOLTS
Analog Sensor Power Supply
The Analog Sensor Power Supply provides power to all the active analog
sensors (pressure and temperature sensors). The ECM supplies 5.0 0.5
Volts DC (Analog Supply) through the J2/P2 connector to each sensor. A
power supply failure will cause all active analog sensors to fail. This
failure could be caused by a short in a sensor. An open circuit in the
common lines close to the P2/J2 connector can also cause multiple
failures. Unlike previous EUI/HEUI engines, the C-9 uses four individual
ECM analog power connections from the J1/P1 connector (two supply
and two return).
The Analog Sensor Power Supply is protected against short circuits. A
short in a sensor or a wiring harness will not cause damage to the ECM.
NOTE: When checking the analog power supply voltage, always use
the analog return for the measurement and not the frame ground. A
difference can occur between the measurements of analog power
supply and system voltage. The analog power supply is held to close
tolerances.

Digital Sensor Power Supply
The ECM supplies power at 8 0.5 Volts through the J1/P1 connector to
the Throttle Position Sensor circuit.
Like the Analog power supply, this circuit is protected against short
circuits, which means that a short in the sensor will not cause damage to
the ECM.
Some other C-9 applications may use this power supply to power fan
speed or exhaust temperature sensors for example.
NOTE: It is necessary when checking this system power supply
voltage to use the digital return for the measurement and not the
frame ground. A difference between these values can occur if an
incorrect ground is used.

Service Tool Power Supply
In the past, the ECAP (Electronic Analyzer Programmer) Service Tool
drew it's power from the Service Tool Connector. In the same way, when
using ET, the Communicator Adapter II also requires a power supply.
This power is taken from pins A and B on the Service Tool Connector.
This illustration shows the path of the current from the ECM to the
Service Tool Connector. This power supply requires the engine keyswitch
to be ON.
Pin 70 on the J1/P1 connector, is the same terminal which is used by the
Keyswitch to turn on the ECM.

The principle component in the HEUI system, the Electronic Control
Module (ECM) is mounted on the left hand side of the engine.
The ECM is the brain of the engine, it functions as the governor and fuel
system computer. The ECM receives all the signals from the sensors and
energizes the injector solenoids to control timing and engine speed. The
ECM also communicates with the instrument display system, usually the
Caterpillar Monitoring System through the Cat Data link.
This ECM is known as the ADEM III and is the third generation of ECMs
in a series. It can be easily recognized by the two 70 pin connectors
(previous ecms had two 40 pin connectors). NOTE: The right
hand connector is designated as J1/P1 and the left hand connector is
designated as J2/P2.
This ECM is used in all C-9 engine applications. The ECM can be moved
from one application to another. However, a password is required to
activate the ECM when a different application software is installed.
The Personality Module contains the software with all the fuel setting
information such as: horsepower, torque rise and air/fuel ratio rates,
pressure, and temperature warning trip points. These settings determine
how the engine will perform in a specific application.

This view shows a cutaway of an ADEM III ECM (note the two 70 pin
connectors). The Personality Module is an integral part of the ECM and
no access panel is provided, therefore Flash Programming is the only
method used to update the software on the C-9. This method requires
electronic reprogramming of the Personality Module software.
Upgrading the software is not a routine task, but might be performed for
reasons of a product update, a performance improvement or a product
problem repair. Also possible is an application change where an ECM is
moved to a different type of machine powered by a C-9 engine.
This ECM is currently fuel cooled in all machine applications except
Track-Type Tractors. Future On-highway Truck applications will not be
fuel cooled. Generally speaking, compared with On-highway Trucks,
machines do not have large quantities of cool air flowing around the
engine due to the low ground speed. Therefore fuel cooling on machines
is necessary to protect the ECM where there are high engine compartment
temperatures.
NOTE: The ECM is sealed and needs no routine adjustment or
maintenance. The Personality Module cannot be accessed other than
by Flash Programming. The ECM has an excellent record of
reliability. Therefore, any problems in the system are most likely to
be in the connectors and wiring harness. In other words, the ECM
should typically be the last item in troubleshooting. Using a
substitute ECM is a convenient method of troubleshooting the unit.

Fuel Injection
The C-9 HEUI unit injector is electrically and physically similar to the
3126E HEUI electronic unit injector. It is controlled electrically by the
ECM and is actuated hydraulically. There are other advanced features
which are described later in this presentation. The signal from the ECM
controls the opening and the closing of the solenoid valve. The solenoid
valve controls the flow of high pressure oil to the injector. This system
enables the ECM to control fuel volume, timing and injection actuation
hydraulic pressure.
This system can control both the opening and closing of the injector
nozzle.
The C-9 injector has a bar code and a numerical code marked on the
tappet. The numerical code must be entered into the ECM using ET. The
purpose of this code is to ensure that all injectors are matched as perfectly
as possible in performance, both in timing and fuel quantity.
The C-9 injector solenoids operate on 70 Volts direct current. Always
remain clear of the injector area when the engine is running or electrical
shock may occur.

WARNING
Injector testing

cutout test
Three tests can be used to determine which cylinder or injector is
malfunctioning:
INJECTOR SOLENOID TEST
This test is performed while the engine is stopped. The injector solenoids
can be tested automatically with the service tool using the Injector
Solenoid Test. This function individually tests each solenoid in sequence
and indicates if a short or an open circuit is present.
MANUAL CYLINDER CUTOUT
This test is performed while the engine is running at any speed.
The 70 Volt pulse can be individually cut out to aid in troubleshooting
misfire problems in the injector and the cylinder.
AUTOMATIC CYLINDER CUTOUT TEST
This test is performed with the service tool while the engine is running.
The test makes a comparative evaluation of all injectors and numerically
shows the results. The test is repeated three times for reliability and
accuracy. The test enables an on-engine evaluation of the injectors.
When diagnosing a misfire problem, a satisfactory test of all injector
solenoids without any diagnostic messages indicates that a mechanical
problem in the cylinder probably exists. This problem could be caused by
a seized injector, a damaged inlet or exhaust valve.
