The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is the "brain" or center of the engine control system.
The ECM uses the information gathered by the sensors which are located throughout the engine and transmission to monitor all aspects of engine operation. Connected to the ECM by the wiring harness, the sensors detect and convert changes in pressure, temperature or mechanical movement into electrical signals. The electrical signals are sent to the ECM. The ECM uses information such as desired engine speed, and load to determine the fuel injection pressure, timing and duration. Based on sensor inputs, the ECM actuates the individual unit injectors to control engine speed. The customer connector allows the engines ECM to interface with Caterpillar monitoring systems or other manufacturers monitoring systems. These systems display engineoperating parameters such as speed, load, fuel consumption, temperature, pressure, maintenance and diagnostic information, as well as trip and historical data. Additional switches, lamps, and optional components can be installed and linked to the customer connector. The service technician communicates with the ECM by means of computer, cable, and service tool connector, to perform diagnostic tests and modify operating parameters.
