Fault search programme

The following error search programme contains the errors that can be detected by the error memory.

The order of the tests corresponds to the numeric sequence of the flash codes, independent of the value of
the error.
So it is not arranged according to "Error is displayed by means of EDC indicator light" or "Error is not
displayed by means of EDC indicator light".
In addition to the flash code, the error location was recorded in hexadecimal figures, because this is
displayed by MAN-cats.

During the initial check on the vehicle, the entire error memory must always be read out and all the stored
errors documented.
A simple method of documentation is to make a screen copy (hardcopy) of the MAN-cats screen. This
contains all the information (environmental conditions, etc.).
This is important because during error search cables or components in the system have to be disconnected
and there should be the capability of setting and storing the corresponding error messages.
Because of this, the error memory should always be deleted again after intermediate tests.

The test procedure for checking cables ("Test lines") must always be followed:

Interruption or contact resistance (e.g. through stretched terminal sockets, plugs or terminal sockets
pushed back, or oxidised plug connections)
Short to minus
Short to plus
Short to adjacent wires
Loose contacts
Water or moisture in the wiring harness
Wiring harnesses can also be damaged although the corrugated tube appears undamaged externally!

All tests relating to the control device plugs are carried out with the aid of the diagnostic connector box (test
box). The pin assignment on the control unit plug is identical to the test sockets on the diagnostic connector
box.

Where resistances are being measured, the control unit must be disconnected at the diagnostic
connector box.

Before any exchange of pump or control units the error memory should always be deleted and the error
observed. If there are a number of error entries, the corresponding test instructions should generally only be
taken into account where they do not require a change of pump or control unit.

After removal of the error and checking, repeat the test and delete the error memory.
The error memory should always be deleted with MAN-cats.

Follow vehicle-related wiring diagrams!

In the case of bus chassis (HOC) 3-character wire numbers and deviating item descriptions are mainly
used.
On all other vehicles in the present series (trucks and buses) only 5-character wire numbers and identical
item descriptions are used.

Error path: Engine control unit, vehicle speed signal, injection pump

Effect of error: Full-load quantity reduced by 25 – 40% because quantity can be inaccurate
Final engine speed reduced to 2200 rpm

Function: Quantity 0 is the default for after-running. If the expected fall in speed does not
come about, it is classified as an error.

Possible
cause of error: Engine control unit faulty, vehicle speed signal implausible, injection pump faulty

Note 1: Basically before replacing any pump or control unit the error memory should be
deleted and the error observed.
In practice, where there are several error entries, the corresponding test
instructions should first be followed where they do not necessitate the exchange of
a pump or control unit.
Note 2: In the event of errors in after-running, the road speed signal must also be checked.
Reason: If the road speed transducer already shows 0 km/h when the vehicle is
rolling and the ignition is then switched off, there is after-running.
The various shutdown paths in after-running can then be classified as defective
because the speed does not drop away fast enough (vehicle is rolling).

every switching state by reference to the voltage that has been read in. It
recognises an error if the wrong values are output over a certain period, e.g.
through electrical faults but also through multiple activation (incorrect operation!) of

Shutdown via relay redundant shutdown MAR (after-running test)

Flash code: 2x long, 2x short


Error location (hex): A2

Error display: Yes (indicator light EDC on, or shown in display)

Error path: Relay, redundant shutdown (MAR), engine control unit

Effect of error: Full load quantity reduced by 25 – 40%


Final engine speed reduced to 2200 rpm
Engine shutdown via MAR (relay redundant shutdown) impossible

Function: The relay redundant shutdown (MAR = solenoid valve shutdown relay) is actuated
by the engine control unit (pin B18) and in the individual case interrupts the power
supply to the pump control unit.
This leads to shutdown of the engine.
In after-running the MAR is shut down (de-energised). If the expected fall in speed
does not come about, it is classified as an error.

Possible Line interruption, short-circuit, relay redundant shutdown (MAR) faulty, actuation
cause of error: from control unit faulty (engine control unit faulty), road speed signal implausible

Note: In the event of errors in after-running, the road speed signal must also be checked.
Reason: If the road speed transducer already shows 0 km/h when the vehicle is
rolling and the ignition is then switched off, there is after-running.
The various shutdown paths in after-running can then be classified as defective
because the speed does not drop away fast enough (vehicle is rolling).

Error display: No (indicator light EDC off, or nothing shown in display)

Error path: Main relay


– Contact sticks or hangs (does not open)

Effect of error: This fault may not be noticed

Function: The minus-side actuation of the relay coil takes place through the control unit via
the control unit outlet pin B27. The main relay is de-energised with a time delay
after switching off the ignition (after-running).
During after-running, various computer functions are checked and any faults
detected are stored in the error memory.

Error path: Engine control unit, pump control unit (injection pump), road speed signal

Effect of error: Full load quantity reduced by 25 – 40%


Final engine speed reduced to 2200 rpm
Shutdown via monitoring module impossible

Function: Microprocessor is tested for functioning through question/answer routine.


In after-running false responses are sent intentionally, so that they lead to the engine
shutting down.
If the expected fall in speed does not come about, it is classified as an error.

Possible Engine control unit faulty, pump control unit (injection pump) defective
cause of error: Road speed signal implausible

Note 1: Before any exchange of pump or control units the error memory should always be
deleted and the error observed.
If there are a number of error entries, the corresponding test instructions should
generally only be taken into account where they do not require a change of pump or
control unit.

Note 2: In the event of errors in after-running, the road speed signal must also be checked.
Reason: If the road speed transducer already shows 0 km/h when the vehicle is
rolling and the ignition is then switched off, there is after-running.
The various shutdown paths in after-running can then be classified as defective
because the speed does not drop away fast enough (vehicle is rolling).

Multi-level switch (resistor group), maximum speed limiter

Flash code: 6x long, 6x short


Error location (hex): DB

Error display: Yes (indicator light EDC on, or shown in display)

Error path: Multi-level switch (resistor group) for maximum speed limiters
– voltage too high
– voltage too low
– wrong voltage

Effect of error: No multilevel switch functions are possible

Function: Voltage signals are detected via the multilevel inputs (control unit pin B19), whose
values are determined by external resistance circuits. The limits (HGB 1, 2 and 3)
can be programmed with MAN-cats.

Possible
cause of error: Line interruption, short circuit, resistor group faulty (e.g. cold junction)

Note 1: The maximum speed limiters via the multilevel switch (control unit pin B19) are only
implemented from level 2 onwards.
In level 1, HGB 2 is activated by wiring pin B21 with UBat.
HGB 3 is not possible with level 1.

Note 2: Activation of another maximum speed limit (e.g. by a changeover switch) is only
possible at below a road speed of 10 km/h!

Effect of error: None known of

Function: After-running automatically takes place after each shutdown


When the permissible number of shutdowns has been exceeded without after-
running, it is classified as an error

Possible
cause of error: Road speed signal faulty

Note: In the event of errors in after-running, the road speed signal must also be checked.
Reason: If the road speed transducer already shows 0 km/h when the vehicle is
rolling and the ignition is then switched off, there is after-running. The various
shutdown paths in after-running can then be classified as defective because the
speed does not drop away fast enough (vehicle is rolling).

Engine brake

Flash code: No data acquisition


Error location (hex): No data acquisition

Error display: No data acquisition

Error path: Engine brake, engine brake switch

Effect of error: No engine brake function

Function: The engine brake is actuated corresponding to the engine speed via Pin A18
(output) of the EDC control unit. Actuation takes place by supplying current to Pin
B14 (input) of the EDC control unit by actuation of the foot control switch for the
engine brake. Actuation can also take place from the transmission control or
vehicle management through a CAN message.
Possible
cause of error: Line interruption, short-circuit, engine brake switch faulty

Condition for testing: Diagnostics connector box (test box) connected

Note 1: The engine brake function can also be switched off by other systems, e.g. by the
ABS control unit during a braking controlled under ABS. For this reasons the ABS
system should be included when fault finding.
A clutch signal coming from a faulty or incorrectly adjusted proximity switch can
also lead to failure of the engine brake.

Note 2: On part of the EDC control units 6.4 level 1 the engine braking activation functions
by the "flip-flop" principle, i.e. when the engine brake is actuated at a speed of >800
rpm, the engine brake stays active even though the control switch is no longer
actuated. Only when the foot control switch is activated again or the brake, clutch or
accelerator pedal are operated is the engine brake deactivated.
During EOL programming, the flip-flop switching is automatically deactivated
however and can also not be re-activated!

Function: The safety relay fulfils an important function as an independent, higher ranking
(redundant) shutdown facility of the engine. Actuation of the safety relay takes place
in certain emergency situations when shutting down the engine by control to zero is
no longer possible. The safety relay is actuated by the engine control unit Pin B18
