General
The flame start is used to limit the emission of
white smoke. It also makes starting easier in
extremely cold weather.
Starting the engine
If the temperature of the coolant is below
+10 C when the starter key is turned to the
drive position (position 15), the heater plug
will be automatically activated.
At the same time, the indicator lamp will give
off a steady light. After about 20 seconds (at a
battery voltage of 24 V), the lamp will start to
flash.
If the temperature of the coolant is above
+10 C, the indicator lamp will start to flash
immediately.
The engine can then be started.
If the temperature of the coolant is below
+10 C when the starter key is turned to the
start position (position 50), the solenoid valve
will be activated, fuel will be injected into the
system and ignited by the heater plug.
When the starter key is returned to the drive
position, the indicator lamp lights up with a
steady light and the after-heating phase
begins.
The heater plug and solenoid valve receive
voltage for up to three minutes or until the tem-
perature of the engine reaches 60 C, during
which time the indicator lamp continues to
give off a steady light. After-heating raises the
temperature of air inducted into the system and
limits the amount of white smoke emitted.
During this period, the engine speed should not
exceed 1000 rpm.
If the engine fails to start within about 30 sec-
onds (and the indicator lamp goes out), the
starter key must be returned to the stop position
(position B). Wait 20 seconds before making a
new attempt to start the engine, then turn the
key to the drive position to activate the flame
start afresh.

Switching off the engine
In the following situations, the flame start
switches off automatically and the indicator
lamp goes out:
if an attempt is made to start the engine when
the indicator lamp is giving off a steady light;
if the engine has been switched off.

Components
Control unit
The control unit (E26) collects information
which it then uses to open or close the solenoid
valve and to control the heater plug relay and the
indicator lamp.
Location of the components in the engine.
Solenoid valve
The solenoid valve (V58) is controlled by the
control unit. It opens and closes the supply of
fuel.

Heater plug
The heater plug (H10) is located on the induc-
tion pipe. Its purpose is to inject and ignite fuel.
Ignition occurs when the fuel passes the heater
plug spiral. The spiral must first be heated up for
about 20 seconds to attain the necessary temper-
ature.
Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor (T77) measures the tem-
perature of the coolant.

Fault diagnosis
6

Scania CV AB 1997, Sweden 03:01-05 en

Fault diagnosis
When the starter key is turned to the drive posi-
tion (position 15), any fault codes that have been
registered (see the table) will be immediately
presented on the display. The code 2-2...signi-
fies two rapid flashes followed by a pause, fol-
lowed by two rapid flashes, and so on.
If several fault codes are active at the same time,
only the fault code with the highest priority will
be shown. The order of priority is given below
in the table.
In all three cases, both the heater plug and the
solenoid valve will be deactivated.
The fault-code lamp flashes for about 60 sec-
onds.
When a fault has been rectified, the key must be
turned to the locking position (position 0) in
order to clear the fault codes.
Fault code Cause Priority
2-2-2-2-... A break in the heater plug, or a break between
the heater plug and the control unit of the
flame start.
1
3-3-3-3-... The fuse in the control unit of the flame start
has blown or there are difficulties in supplying
the control unit with power.
3
4-4-4-4-... A break between the control unit of the flame
start and the solenoid valve, or a break in the
solenoid valve coil.

Testing
A special test cable is available for testing the system. It is black, marked FSL/E26 with a green
insulator marked G9. The cable is strapped to the cable cluster that leads behind earth G9, to the
left beneath the central electric unit.
Important! The test cable should be disconnected from G9 after testing. It should not be earthed
during normal operating conditions.
1 Earth the test cable to G9. The cable is black with a green insulator.
2 Turn the starter key to the drive position
(position 15).
The indicator lamp gives off a steady light for
about 20 seconds while the heater plug is being
heated up, after which it then begins to flash.
3 Turn the starter key to the start position
(position 50).
When the engine has started, the indicator
lamp will give off a steady light. The solenoid
valve (for the fuel) and the heater plug will
both be active for about three minutes.
