Troubleshooting Section
Electronic Controls
The electronic system consists of the following
components: the ECM, the Mechanically Actuated
Electronically Controlled Unit Injectors (MEUI), the
wiring harness, the switches, and the sensors. The
ECM is the computer. The flash file is the software
for the computer. The flash file contains the operating
maps. The operating maps define the following
characteristics of the engine:
•Horsepower
•Torque curves
TheECMdeterminesthetimingandtheamountof
fuel that is delivered to the cylinders. These decisions
are based on the actual conditions and/or on the
desired conditions at any given time.
The ECM compares the desired engine speed to
the actual engine speed. The actual engine speed is
determined through the engine speed/timing sensor.
The desired engine speed is determined with the
following factors:
•Throttle signal
•Other input signals from sensors
•Certain diagnostic codes
If the desired engine speed is greater than the actual
engine speed, the ECM injects more fuel in order to
increase the actual engine speed.
Fuel Injection
The ECM controls the amount of fuel that is injected
by varying the signals to the injectors. The injector will
pump fuel only if the injector solenoid is energized.
The ECM sends a high voltage signal to the solenoid.
This high voltage signal energizes the solenoid. By
controlling the timing and the duration of the high
voltage signal, the ECM can control injection timing
and the ECM can control the amount of fuel that is
injected.
The ECM limits engine power during cold mode
operation and the ECM modifies injection timing
during cold mode operation. Cold mode operation
provides the following benefits:
•Increased cold weather starting capability
•Reduced warm-up time
•Reduced white smoke
Cold mode is activated whenever the engine
temperature falls below a predetermined value. Cold
mode remains active until the engine temperature
rises above a predetermined value or until a time
limit is exceeded.
The flash file inside the ECM sets certain limits on
the amount of fuel that can be injected. The “FRC
Fuel Limit” is used to control the air/fuel ratio for
control of emissions. The “FRC Fuel Limit” is a limit
that is based on the turbocharger outlet pressure.
A higher turbocharger outlet pressure indicates that
thereismoreairinthecylinder.WhentheECM
senses a higher turbocharger outlet pressure, the
ECM increases the “FRC Fuel Limit”. When the ECM
increases the “FRC Fuel Limit”, the ECM allows
more fuel into the cylinder. The “FRC Fuel Limit” is
programmed into the ECM at the factory. The “FRC
Fuel Limit” cannot be changed.
The “Rated Fuel Limit” is a limit that is based on the
power rating of the engine and on engine rpm. The
“Rated Fuel Limit” is similar to the rack stops and to
the torque spring on a mechanically governed engine.
The “Rated Fuel Limit” provides the power curves
and the torque curves for a specific engine family and
for a specific engine rating. The “Rated Fuel Limit” is
programmed into the ECM at the factory. The “Rated
Fuel Limit” cannot be changed.
Once the ECM determines the amount of fuel that
is required, the ECM must determine the timing of
the fuel injection. The ECM uses the signal from the
camshaft position sensor to calculate the top center
position of each cylinder . The ECM decides when
fuel injection should occur relative to the top center
position and the ECM provides the signal to the
injector at the desired time. The ECM adjusts timing
for optimum engine performance, for optimum fuel
economy, and for optimum control of white smoke.
Programmable Parameters
Certain parameters that affect the engine operation
may be changed with the Perkins Electronic
Service Tool (EST). The parameters are stored
in the ECM, and some parameters are protected
from unauthorized changes by passwords. These
passwords are called factory passwords.
Passwords
Several system configuration parameters and most
logged events are protected by factory passwords.
Factory passwords are available only to Perkins
dealers and distributors. Refer to Troubleshooting,
“Factory Passwords” for additional information.

fails during engine operation, the camshaft position
sensor is used to provide the signal.
Data Link – The Data Link is a serial communication
link that is used for communication with other devices
such as the electronic service tool.
Derate – Certain engine conditions will generate
event codes. Also, engine derates may be applied.
The map for the engine derate is programmed into
the ECM software. The derate can be one or more
of three types: reduction of rated power, reduction of
rated engine speed, and reduction of rated machine
speed for OEM products.
Desired Engine Speed – The desired engine speed
is input to the electronic governor within the ECM.
In order to determine the desired engine speed, the
electronic governor uses a digital signal, an analog
signal, a PWM signal or a J1939 signal.
Diagnostic Code – A diagnostic code is sometimes
referred to as a fault code. These codes indicate an
electronic system malfunction.

tool allows a computer (PC) to communicate with the
ECM.
Engine Monitoring – Engine Monitoring is the part
of the electronic engine control that monitors the
sensors. This also warns the operator of detected
faults.
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor – The engine oil
pressure sensor measures engine oil pressure. The
sensor sends a signal to the ECM that is dependent
on the engine oil pressure.
Engine Position Sensor – An engine position
sensor is a hall effect switch that provides a digital
signal to the ECM. The ECM interprets this signal as
the crankshaft position and the engine speed. Two
sensors areusedtoprovidethespeedandtiming
signals to the ECM. The crankshaft position sensor
is associated with the crankshaft and the camshaft
position sensor is associated with the camshaft.
Event Code – An event code may be activated
in order to indicate an abnormal engine operating
condition. These codes usually indicate a mechanical
fault instead of an electrical system fault.
Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) – This identifier
indicates the type of failure that is associated with the
component. The FMI has been adopted from SAE
J1587 diagnostics. The FMI follows the component
identifier (CID) in the descriptions of the fault code.
The descriptions of the FMIs are in the following list:
0–The data is valid but the data is above the normal
operational range.
1–The data is valid but the data is below the normal
operational range.
2–The data is erratic, intermittent, or incorrect.
3–The voltage is above normal or the voltage is
shorted high.
4–The voltage is below normal or the voltage is
shorted low.
5–The current is below normal or the circuit is open.
6–The current is above normal or the circuit is
grounded.
7–The mechanical system is not responding
properly.
8–There is an abnormal frequency, an abnormal
pulse width, or an abnormal time period.

be reprogrammed through flash programming.
Flash Programming – Flash programming is the
method of programming or updating an ECM with
an electronic service tool over the data link instead
of replacing components.
Fuel Injector E-Trim – Fuel injector E-trim is a
software process that allows precise control of fuel
injectors by parameters that are programmed into
the ECM for each fuel injector. With the use of the
electronic service tool, the service technician can
read the status information for the E-Trim. Data
forE-Trim canalsobeprogrammed.
FRC – See “Fuel Ratio Control”.
Fuel Ratio Control (FRC) – The FRC is a limit that
is based on the control of the ratio of the fuel to air.
The FRC is used for purposes of emission control.
When the ECM senses a higher intake manifold
air pressure (more air into the cylinder), the FRC
increases the FRC Limit (more fuel into the cylinder).
Full Load Setting (FLS) – The FLS is the parameter
that represents the fuel system adjustment. This
adjustment is made at the factory in order to fine tune
the fuel system. The correct value for this parameter
is stamped on the engine information ratings plate.
This parameter must be programmed.
Full Torque Setting (FTS) – The FTS is the
parameter that represents the adjustment for the
engine torque. This adjustment is made at the factory
in order to fine tune the fuel system. This adjustment
is made in conjunction with the FLS. This parameter
must be programmed.

intake manifold air temperature sensor detects the
air temperature in the intake manifold. The ECM
monitors the air temperature and other data in the
intake manifoldinordertoadjustinjectiontimingand
other performance functions.
Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor – The intake
manifold pressure sensor measures the pressure
in the intake manifold. The pressure in the intake
manifold may be different to the pressure outside
the engine (atmospheric pressure). The difference
in pressure may be caused by an increase in air
pressure by a turbocharger (if equipped).
J1939 CAN Data Link – ThisdatalinkisanSAE
standard that is used to communicate between the
ECM and the electronic devices.
Logged Diagnostic Codes – Logged diagnostic
codes are codes which are stored in the memory.
These codes are meant to be an indicator of
possible causes for intermittent faults. Refer to the
term “Diagnostic Code” in this glossary for more
information.
OEM – OEM is an abbreviation for the Original
Equipment Manufacturer. This is the manufacturer of
the machine or the vehicle that uses the engine.
Open Circuit – An open circuit is a condition that is
caused by an open switch, or by an electrical wire
or a connection that is broken. When this condition
exists, the signal or the supply voltage can no longer
reach the intended destination.
Parameter – A parameter has a value or a limit that
may be programmable. This helps determine specific
characteristics or behaviors of the engine.
Password–A password is a group of numeric
characters or a group of alphanumeric characters
that is designed to restrict access to parameters. The
electronic system requires correct passwords in order
to change some parameters (Factory Passwords).
Refer to Troubleshooting, “Factory Passwords” for
more information.
Personality Module – See“FlashFile”.
Power Cycling – Power cycling happens when
power to the ECM is cycled: ON, OFF, and ON.
Power cycling refers to the action of cycling the
keyswitch from the START/RUN position to the OFF
position and to the START/RUN position.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) – The PWM is a
signal that consists of pulses that are of variable
width. These pulses occur at fixed intervals. The ratio
of “TIME ON” versus total “TIME OFF” can be varied.
This ratio is alsoreferredtoasadutycycle.
g00284479

Rated Fuel Limit – This is a limit that is based on
the power rating of the engine and on the engine rpm.
The rated fuel limit enables the engine power and
torque outputs to conform to the power and torque
curves of a specific engine model. These limits are in
the flash file and these limits cannot be changed.
Reference Voltage – Reference voltage is a
regulated voltage and a steady voltage that is
supplied by the ECM to a sensor. The reference
voltage is used by the sensor to generate a signal
voltage.
Relay – A relay is an electromechanical switch. A
flow of electricity in one circuit is used to control the
flow of electricity in another circuit. A small current or
voltage is applied to a relay in order to switch a much
larger current or voltage.
Sensor – A sensor is a device that is used to
detect the current value of pressure or temperature,
or mechanical movement. The information that is
detected is converted into an electrical signal.
Short Circuit – A short circuit is a condition that has
an electrical circuit that is inadvertently connected to
an undesirable point. An example of a short circuit
is a wire which rubs against a vehicle frame and
this rubbing eventually wears off the wire insulation.
Electrical contact with the frame is made and a short
circuit results.

Signal – The signal is a voltage or a waveform that
is used in order to transmit information typically from
a sensor to the ECM.
Supply Voltage–The supply voltage is a continuous
voltage that is supplied to a component in order to
provide the electrical power that is required for the
component to operate. The power may be generated
by the ECM or the power may be battery voltage that
is supplied by the engine wiring.
System Configuration Parameters – System
configuration parameters are parameters that affect
emissions and/or operating characteristics of the
engine.
Tattletale – Certain parameters that affect the
operation of the engine are stored in the ECM.
These parameters can be changed by use of the
electronic service tool. The tattletale logs the number
of changes that have been made to the parameter.
ThetattletaleisstoredintheECM.
Timing Calibration – The timing calibration is the
adjustment of an electrical signal. This adjustment is
made in order to correct the timing error between the
camshaft and the engine speed/timing sensors or
between the crankshaft and the engine speed/timing
sensors.
Top Center Position – The top center position refers
to the crankshaft position when the engine piston
position is at the highest point of travel. The engine
must be turned in the normal direction of rotation in
order to reach this point.
Total Tattletale – The total tattletale is the total
number of changes to all the parameters that are
stored in the ECM.
Trim Files – Trim files for the injector are downloaded
fromadisktotheECM.TheTrimfiles compensate

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) contains no
moving parts. Replacement of the ECM can be
costly. Replacement can also be a time consuming
task. Follow the troubleshooting procedures in this
manual in order to ensure that replacing the ECM will
correct the fault. Verify that the suspect ECM is the
cause of the fault.
Note: Ensure that the ECM is receiving power and
that the ECM is properly wired to the negative battery
circuit before a replacement of the ECM is attempted.
Refer to Troubleshooting, “Electrical Power Supply
Circuit - Test”.

faulty. Install a test ECM in place of the suspect ECM.
Flash program the correct flash file into the test ECM.
Program the parameters for normal operation of the
engine. The parameters must match the parameters
in the suspect ECM. Refer to the following test steps
for details. If the test ECM resolves the fault, connect
the suspect ECM. Verify that the fault returns. If the
fault returns, replace the suspect ECM.
Note: When a new ECM is not available, you may
need to remove an ECM from an engine that is not
in service. The interlock code for the replacement
ECM must match the interlock code for the suspect
ECM. Be sure to record the parameters from the
replacement ECM on the “Parameters Worksheet”.
Use the “Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement”
feature that is found under the “Service” menu on
the electronic service tool.
NOTICE
If the flash file and engine application are not matched,
engine damage may result.
Perform the following procedure in order to replace
the ECM:
1. Record the configuration data:
a. Connect the electronic service tool to the
diagnostic connector. Refer to Troubleshooting,
“Electronic Service Tools”.
b. Print the parameters from the “Configuration”
screen on the electronic service tool. If a printer
is unavailable, record all of the parameters.
Make a note of any logged diagnostic codes
and logged event codes for your records.
c. Use the “Copy Configuration/ECM
Replacement” feature that is found under the
“Service” menu on the electronic service tool.
Select “Load from ECM” in order to copy the
configurationdatafromthesuspectECM.
Note: If the “Copy Configuration” process fails and
the parameters were not obtained in Step 1.b, the
parameters must be obtained elsewhere. Some of the
parameters are stamped on the engine information
plate. Most of the parameters must be obtained from
the factory.
2. Remove the ECM:
a. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
b. Disconnect the P1 and P2 connectors from the
ECM.
c. Disconnect the ECM ground strap.
d. Remove the mounting bolts from the ECM.
3. Install the replacement ECM:
a. Usetheoldmountinghardwaretoinstallthe
replacement ECM.
b. Connect the ECM ground strap.
c. Connect the P1 and P2 connectors. Tighten
the ECM connector (allen head screw) to
the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting,
“Electrical Connectors - Inspect” for the correct
torque value.
4. Configure the replacement ECM:
a. Flash program the flash file into the ECM. Refer
to Troubleshooting, “Flash Programming” for
the correct procedure.
b. Use the electronic service tool to match the
engine application and the interlock code if
the replacement ECM was used for a different
application.
c. If the “Copy Configuration” process from
Step 1.c was successful, return to the “Copy
Configuration/ECM Replacement” screen on
the electronic service tool and select “Program
ECM”.

d. If the “Copy Configuration” process from Step
1.c was unsuccessful, manually program the
ECM parameters. The parameters must match
the parameters from Step 1.b.
Program the engine monitoring system, if
necessary.
Load the injector trim files for the injectors.
Refer to Troubleshooting, “Injector Trim File”.
Calibrate the engine speed/timing. Refer
to Troubleshooting, “Engine Speed/Timing
Sensor - Calibrate”.

Self-Diagnostics
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has the ability
to detect faults with the electronic system and with
engine operation. When a fault is detected, a code is
generated. An alarm may also be generated. There
are two types of codes:
•Diagnostic
•Event
Diagnostic Code – Whenafaultwiththeelectronic
system is detected, the ECM generates a diagnostic
code. This indicates the specific fault with the
circuitry.
Diagnostic codes can have two different states:
•Active
•Logged
Active Code
An active diagnostic code indicates that an active
fault has been detected. Active codes require
immediate attention. Always service active codes
prior to servicing logged codes.
Logged Code
Every generated code is stored in the permanent
memory of the ECM. The codes are logged.
Logged codes may not indicate that a repair is
needed. The fault may have been temporary. The
fault may have been resolved since the logging of
the code. If the system is powered, it is possible
to generate an active diagnostic code whenever a
component is disconnected. When the component is
reconnected, the code is no longer active. Logged
codes may be useful to help troubleshoot intermittent
faults.Loggedcodescanalsobeusedtoreview
the performance of the engine and of the electronic
system.
Event Code
An event code is generated by the detection of an
abnormal engine operating condition. For example,
an event code will be generated if the oil pressure is
too low. In this case, the event code indicates the
symptom of a fault.

WeldingonaMachine that is Equipped
with an Electronic Control System (ECM)
Proper welding procedures are necessary in order
to avoid damage to the engine’s electronic control
module, sensors, and associated components. The
component that requires welding should be removed.
When welding on a machine that is equipped with an
ECM and removal of the component is not possible,
the following procedure must be followed. This
procedure provides the minimum amount of risk to
the electronic components.
NOTICE
Do not ground the welder to electrical components
such as the ECM or sensors. Improper grounding can
cause damage to the drive train bearings, hydraulic
components, electrical components, and other com-
ponents.
Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the com-
ponent that will be welded. Place the clamp as close
as possible to the weld. This will help reduce the pos-
sibility of damage.
1. Stop the engine. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF
position.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the
battery. If a battery disconnect switch is installed,
open the switch.
g01143634

Service welding guide (typical diagram)
3. Connect the welding ground cable as close
as possible to the area that will be welded.
Components which may be damaged by welding
include bearings, hydraulic components, and
electrical/electronic components.
4. Protect the wiring harness from welding debris
and from spatter.
5. Weld the materials by using standard welding
methods.
