General

General

A fuel system with EDC, Electronic Diesel found in the section EDC.
Control, and unit injectors PDE, Pumpe- Düse-
Einheit, consists – besides the fuel lines and a
fuel tank – of the following parts.
1 A feed pump
2 A hand pump
3 An electronic control unit
4 A fuel filter
5 One unit injector, of type PDE, per cylinder
6 A fuel manifold
7 a pressure relief valve
The fuel system also includes an electronic
control system. The control system consists of
– besides the control unit – the unit injector
solenoid valves, sensors and other control
units, among other things. More information
about the electronic control system can be

The path of the fuel

The path of the fuel Any excess fuel returns to the fuel tank via an
unpressurised return line in the fuel manifold.
The feed pump 1 draws fuel from the fuel tank
and presses it through the fuel filter 2 and into
the fuel manifold 3.
A hand pump 4 is located on the feed pump. The
hand pump is used to bleed the fuel system.
There is an overflow valve 5 on the fuel
manifold. The pressure relief valve constantly
regulates the fuel pressure. When the pressure is
too high, the pressure relief valve opens, so that
the excess fuel is returned to the fuel tank.
The fuel rail distributes the fuel to the unit
injectors in each cylinder head. The EDC
control unit controls when the unit injectors are
to inject the fuel into the cylinders.

Fuel quantity and injection timing

Fuel quantity and injection


timing
Each unit injector consists of a pump element, a
solenoid valve and a nozzle. In this way, it is
possible to control the fuel injection for each
individual cylinder.
EDC, Electronic Diesel Control, is the
electronic system that controls both how much
fuel each unit injector should inject into the
cylinder and also when the unit injector should
inject the fuel. This control of the injection
means that we can optimise the combustion,
which in turn leads to cleaner exhaust gases and
lower fuel consumption. The EDC system
described in this booklet is designated S6.
The control unit is the brain of the EDC system.
The control unit processes the information both
from the sensors and the components that are
part of the EDC system and also from the
control units in other systems. When the control
unit has processed the information, it then
transmits signals to the unit injectors. The
signals control the injection of the fuel.
The EDC system makes possible such functions
as cruise control, hand throttle, speed limiter,
smoke limiter and a special cold start
programme.

Components in the fuel system

Unit injector

General
There is one unit injector for each cylinder. The
unit injector is positioned in the centre of the
cylinder head between the four valves.
The unit injector is a pump element forming a
single unit with the injector nozzle. It is driven
by the engine camshaft. The drive is transferred
from the camshaft via a roller tappet, pushrod
and rocker arm to the unit injector.
Any excess fuel remaining in the unit injector
after combustion returns to the fuel tank via the
excess fuel duct (A).
A fuel duct passes through the valve housing
which has a constant flow of fuel. The fuel that
flows through the unit injector operates like
coolant in the unit injector. The heated fuel
returns to the fuel tank via the fuel duct for
return fuel (B).

Components in the fuel system

The unit injector consists of three main parts.


• Pump section, containing cylinder and
plunger, corresponding to the pump element
in an injection pump.
• Injector section, with nozzle sleeve, nozzle
needle and spring.
• Valve housing, with an electromagnetically
controlled fuel valve.
The lower part of the unit injector is fitted in a
steel sleeve with copper washer resting against
the bottom of the cylinder head, similar to an
ordinary injector.
The upper part of the unit injector, with
compression spring and valve housing, is
located above the cylinder head. Injection
timing and the amount of fuel to be injected are
determined by the control unit. The control unit
controls the electromagnetic fuel valve in the
unit injector valve housing.
The opening duration of the injector (injector
timing) determines the amount of fuel that is
injected into the cylinder.
Any excess fuel from the unit injector flows to
the fuel manifold via the duct in the cylinder
head. The fuel then runs into the return duct in
the fuel manifold via a banjo union in the
overflow valve and back to the fuel tank.

Components on the engine

Components on the engine

Engine speed sensors, T74 and T75


There are two engine speed sensors in the EDC
system, engine speed sensor 1 and engine speed
sensor 2. The sensors are inductive. This means
that they only produce signals when the engine
is running. The signal strength varies
significantly, depending on the air gap between
the sensors and the flywheel as well as on the
engine speed. The EDC system performs an
assessment of the signal strength at different
engine speeds. If the signal strength becomes
too low, a fault code is generated.
Both engine speed sensor 1 and engine speed
sensor 2 read the position of the flywheel. This
means that the system cannot determine which
of two possible revolutions the engine is at, i.e.

134 591
whether cylinder 1 or cylinder 6 is at the ignition T75 T74
position for example. Every time the engine is
stopped and the voltage cut off, the engine 1 Engine speed sensor 1, T74
position is stored. Next time the voltage is 2 Engine speed sensor 2, T75
switched on, the stored position of the engine is
used to determine which revolution the engine is
at. When the engine has started, a system check
is performed to verify that the stored position is
correct.

some of the holes in the flywheel that are
detected by the engine speed sensors.

03:04-09  Scania CV AB 2004, Sweden 19


Components on the engine

The EDC control unit receives signals from both


engine speed sensors. If the control unit receives
a faulty signal or no signal at all from either of
the engine speed sensors, the engine torque is
limited for safety reasons. If the control unit
receives a correct signal, the engine will behave
normally again.
If the control unit receives a faulty signal or no
signal at all from both engine speed sensors, the
engine cannot be started. If the engine is
running, it will be turned off.
The engine speed sensors detect the holes in the
flywheel when the flywheel rotates and send
pulses to the control unit for each hole. This T 74 T 75
allows the control unit to calculate where in the n n
operating cycle the engine is. The control unit
senses and compares the engine speed at 1 2 1 2

combustion in each cylinder. The control unit


seeks to keep the acceleration from each
cylinder constant by adjusting the fuel volume
individually for each cylinder. 1 2 1 2

The interval between two of the holes is greater
than the intervals between the remaining holes.
When the control unit senses that this larger
interval passes the sensor, it knows that the
flywheel is in a specific position in relation to
top dead centre (TDC UP). Engine speed sensor connections to EDC
control unit E44.
If the control unit detects any faults, one or more
fault codes are generated.

atmospheric pressure plus the positive pressure
provided by the turbocharger.
The EDC control unit uses the signal from the
sensor to limit the fuel volume when the charge
air pressure is under a certain level. The lower
the pressure, the less fuel the control unit allows
to go out to the unit injectors. In this way black
smoke is avoided.
The control unit reads the voltage from the
sensor. The signal voltage is directly
proportional to the charge air pressure. A high
pressure gives a high voltage and vice versa.
Depending on factors such as throttle actuation,
engine speed, engine acceleration and charge air
temperature, the control unit will expect a
certain value for the charge air pressure. The
deviation between the current charge air
pressure and the pressure expected by the
control unit can be read off using Scania
Diagnos.
If there are any faults in the signal, a fault code
is generated. The control unit will then operate
according to a pre-programmed pressure value.
As a safety precaution, the engine torque is then
limited.

Charge air temperature sensor


The charge air temperature sensor detects the
temperature in the intake manifold. The EDC
control unit uses the signal from the sensor to
finely adjust the fuel quantity so that black
smoke is not produced. The warmer the charge
air, the less fuel the control unit allows to go out
to the unit injectors.
The sensor is of the NTC type, which means that
its resistance is temperature dependent. If the
temperature increases, the resistance in the
sensor drops.
If the voltage is outside a certain range, the
control unit will operate according to a pre-
programmed temperature value, and a fault code
will be generated at the same time.

Components on the engine

Coolant temperature sensor, T33

The coolant temperature sensor affects the fuel


volume and injection timing when starting the
engine and when the engine is cold. It also
affects the engine idling speed and maximum
engine speed when the engine is cold and the
engine power when it is too warm.
If the coolant temperature sensor senses that the
engine is cold when attempting to start (cold
start), the following will occur. If the engine
does not start within 2 seconds, the fuel quantity
injected will successively increase until the
engine starts.

The length of time engine speed limitation is
engaged varies depending on the coolant

Components on the engine

Oil pressure sensor, T5


The oil pressure sensor registers the pressure of
the engine oil.
The EDC control unit reads the voltage from the
sensor. If the signal voltage is outside a certain
range, the oil pressure sensor on the instrument
panel will show 0 bar, regardless of engine
speed, and a fault code will be generated at the
same time.
The EDC control unit expects a certain oil
pressure depending on the engine speed. Below
1000 rpm, the oil pressure should be at a certain

134 167
level. Over 1000 rpm the oil pressure should be
at a higher level, in order to provide sufficient T5
oil pressure for piston cooling, etc. If the oil

We know that the electrical system of the

The control unit converts the system voltage to a
lower voltage of approximately 5 V, which it
supplies to sensors, etc. These sensors are
always earthed through the control unit.

Components in the driver area

Components in the driver area

The components in the driver area belong to the


coordinator. The EDC control unit will then only
receive a CAN message about the status of the
component. The components are described in
the function description for the coordinator.
Below is a short description of how the EDC
control unit uses the information from the
coordinator.

Accelerator pedal sensor


The EDC control unit receives a CAN message
from the coordinator about the position of the
accelerator pedal. The EDC control unit uses the
information to control the fuel volume and
injection timing solenoid valves.

Control for cruise control S51


The EDC control unit receives a CAN message
from the coordinator about the cruise control
settings. The EDC control unit interprets the
information as a desired vehicle speed or a
desired engine speed and then regulates the
vehicle speed or engine speed.

Brake pedal switches


The EDC control unit receives a CAN message
from the coordinator about the status of the
brake pedal switches. The control unit uses the
information to control certain functions, e.g.
Cruise control.

Clutch pedal switch


The EDC control unit receives a CAN message
from the coordinator about the status of the
clutch pedal switches. The control unit uses the
information to control certain functions, e.g.
Cruise control.

32  Scania CV AB 2004, Sweden 03:04-09


Components in the driver area

Tachograph O4

The EDC control unit receives a CAN message


from the coordinator about the vehicle speed.
Vehicle speed sensing is a pre-condition for
certain functions, e.g. Cruise control and Speed
limitation.

If the EDC control unit does not have any


information on the vehicle speed, it operates
according to the pre-programmed speed of
15 km/h.

Warning lamp for EDC, W27


The EDC control unit sends information to the
coordinator about whether the indicator lamp
should be lit or not.
The indicator lamp lights for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on to ensure that it
works.
When the engine is switched off, the indicator
lamp comes on while the EDC control unit
carries out a functional check of the EDC
system. When the check is complete, the lamp
goes out.
When the engine is running, the warning lamp
should normally be off. If there is a fault in the
EDC system, the warning lamp comes on.
If the indicator lamp flashes continuously and
the vehicle cannot be started, a serious fault has
occurred in the control unit. It will then be
impossible to establish contact with the control
unit. The control unit must be renewed.

Deactivation
The cruise control is disengaged by activating
one of the following:
• Retarder or exhaust brake
• The cruise control switch. Press it gently
towards OFF (the spring-loaded position).
• Brake pedal
• Clutch pedal
• Accelerator pedal - greater vehicle speed
than the set value for at least 30 seconds

Resuming the set speed


After braking for example, it is easy to quickly
select the previous road speed by pressing RES.
The previously set value is stored until the
engine is switched off or a new value is selected.

Hand throttle

The hand throttle is used to set the desired


engine speed, e.g when operating a crane. It is
set via the cruise control. The hand throttle can
be used in stationary vehicles and when driving
at low speed, maximum 10 km/h.
If the vehicle is to be driven, a gear must be
engaged and the clutch pedal released before the

hand throttle can be used.

Connection
1 Put the cruise control switch in the ON
position.
2 Press RES, the engine will maintain the
previously selected engine speed.
3 Press ACC or RET to select a new engine
speed.
4 Then press RES for at least three seconds to
store the engine speed.
The engine speed remains stored until a new
value is set, even when the engine is switched
off.

Switching over to idling speed


• Press OFF
or
• depress the brake or clutch pedal
or
• activate the exhaust brake or the retarder.

Idling speed adjustment


The engine idling speed can be adjusted
between 500 and 700 rpm. It is adjusted via the
cruise control. Generally speaking, the idling
speed should be the lowest speed at which the
engine runs smoothly.
When adjusting it, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the engine should be warmed up
(coolant temperature more than +40°C).
1 Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature.
2 Put the cruise control switch in the ON
position.
3 Depress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed until the engine speed is set.
4 Press RES for at least three seconds. This
will set the basic setting 500 rpm
5 Adjust the desired idling speed by pressing
ACC or RET. Every press corresponds to
10 rpm.
6 Press RES for at least three seconds. The
engine speed is now set.
7 The brake pedal can now be released.
The idling speed remains stored until a new
value is set, even when the engine is switched
off.

General

If a fault occurs in the EDC system, one or more


of the following measures will be carried out by
the EDC control unit, depending on what the 1 2 EDC
fault is.

• The warning lamp for EDC comes on. It
will often go out on its own when the fault Warning lamp for EDC, truck
ceases. However, certain faults require the
ignition to be switched off and on, or the
engine to be stopped and restarted, for it to
go out.
• Functions like cruise control and hand
throttle are disengaged.
• Torque is limited.
• When idling, the engine runs at a slightly
higher engine speed than normal.
• The engine is switched off.
• The engine will be forced to idle.
The control unit carries out the above measures
in order to prevent the fault causing expensive
damage and at worst leading to uncontrolled
throttle actuation.
If the engine is not turned off, the vehicle can
often be driven to a workshop. It should be
remembered, however, that the system has less
than normal safety margins, especially if engine
output is reduced.

Warning system

Shutdown test
Every time the engine is switched off, the EDC
control unit carries out a special test of the EDC
system. While this shutdown test is running, the
warning lamp is lit. When the check is complete,
the following occurs: The control unit switches
off and the lamp goes out. The control unit
receives battery voltage all the time.
If the control unit discovers a fault during the
shutdown test, the warning lamp will come on
the next time the engine is started, even if the
fault is no longer present. The control unit must
carry out a fault-free shutdown test before the
warning lamp goes out.

Warning system

Fault codes
When the control unit discovers a fault, or
something which it interprets as abnormal, it
generates a fault code. The warning system can
generate approx. 125 different fault codes. One
flashing code in EDC S6 corresponds to several
different fault codes.

Arrangement of flashing codes


The flashing codes which are flashed out by the
diagnostics lamp are arranged in a certain way.
The long flashes -1 second - shown first
represent tens. The shorter flashes - 0.3 seconds
- that follow represent units.

CAN is an abbreviation of Controller Area
Network. CAN communication is used to reduce
the number of cables in the vehicle and at the
same time increase reliability. The
communication circuit consists of two cables,
CAN H (High) and CAN L (Low).

Several different systems are connected to these


two cables and in this way form a network.
CAN communication is used for example
between EDC, ABS/TC, EBS, the retarder,
Opticruise and the coordinator.
In simple terms, CAN communication is rather
like radio. The data messages that travel along a
CAN cable can be compared to radio waves that
travel through the air.
When listening to the radio, the receiver is set so
that one radio station is heard at one time. Only
one station is heard, even though many other
radio stations are transmitting simultaneously.
A control unit does approximately the same with
the messages that travel through a CAN cable. It
listens, for example, for information from the
EDC control unit concerning the coolant
temperature, receives this value and uses it in its
calculations.
The control unit receives several CAN messages
- which are sent through the communications
