There are three lengths of con rod to adjust the piston height.
The con-rods are fracture split at an angle to facilitate their removal from the
top end of the block.
These fracture split con-rods have conjoined notches to locate the big end
bearings shells.
The bearing shells are therefore not interchangeable between cap and rod.
It is recommended that the con-rod bolts are never reused.
For torque method and load refer to the relevant workshop Manual
The conrod and cap have dimples on them to identify correct orientation.

Low Pressure Fuel System

May 2005 - Page 31


Caterpillar Confidential: Green

The schematic above shows us the layout of the High pressure fuel system
used by C4.4/C6.6 electronically controlled engines.
Fuel is placed through the primary filter, forwarded onto the transfer pump
which moves fuel onwards into the cooling chamber of the ECM, (Where
used).
For further and more substantial cleanliness, fuel is passed through a
secondary filter and passed clean onto the High pressure pump.

The fuel pump comprises of the transfer pump and high pressure pump in one
unit.
The high pressure fuel pump is lubricated by engine oil.
This gives an extended pump life compared to pumps lubricated with fuel.
The transfer pump does not require a lift pump but does require priming.
The method of priming is either by hand pump incorporated into the primary
filter head or by an electric priming pump.

The high pressure fuel pump is mounted on the LHS of the engine.
The pump is locked, for timing purposes, prior to being fitted to the engine. (If
the pump is not locked, it should be returned to the authorised outlet.)
This ensures that the delivery strokes from the pump are in phase with the
injector deliveries.
Always refer to the manual for the correct removal and re-fitting procedure.
The high pressure fuel system is self bleeding. Fuel lines must never be
cracked to purge air.
When the pump is replaced the feed pipe to the fuel manifold must also
be replaced.
Fuel is directed to the fuel manifold and from there to the injectors.

The 6 cylinder high pressure pump has two three lobe cams.
The 4 has two two lobe cams.
This enables it to deliver six pumping strokes per pump revolution
The solenoid valve determines fuel rail pressure and fuel returned to tank.
Excess fuel is returned, via the pump leak off, to the fuel tank
Fuel enters the HP pump and is directed via non return valves to the two
plungers
On the delivery stroke of a plunger a percentage of the fuel is delivered to the
fuel manifold, again via a non return valve.
The volume of fuel delivered to the fuel manifold is dependant on the position of
the solenoid valve.
Fuel in excess of that required to maintain the desired pressure in the fuel
manifold is re-circulated.
Some re-circulation of fuel takes place within the pump,
The remainder of the fuel is returned back to the fuel tank.

May 2005 - Page 36


Caterpillar Confidential: Green

As the injector solenoid is actuated a pressure drop occurs in the fuel manifold.
This pressure drop is registered by the ECM from a signal sent by the pressure
sensor in the fuel manifold.
The ECM sends a requirement for an increase in delivery volume from the
pump to return the rail pressure to the desired pressure.
When the pressure sensor informs the ECM that the desired pressure is correct
the ECM then causes the solenoid valve on the pump to reduce fuel volume.
This cycle takes place every time an injection takes place.
It is therefore important to phase the pump delivery to injection sequence and
occurrence to ensure that fuel manifold pressure does not drop too much.

The transfer pump is driven from the rear of the High Pressure Pump drive
shaft.
The pump has the capacity to create both negative and positive pressures.
It draws the fuel (negative pressure)into the pump, via a 20 micron primary fuel
filter
The pump then delivers the fuel, at between 300 400 kPa, to the secondary
filter.

Caterpillar Confidential: Green

The primary function of the fuel pressure sensor is to constantly monitor rail
pressure.
If it detects rail pressure above 160 MPa diagnostic code 157-00 will be
displayed and the engine will default to limp home mode.
The high pressure relief valve protects the high pressure fuel system from
excessive pressures.
The valve will operate with a constant pressure above 160 MPa.(1600 bar) but
allow pressure spikes of up to 190MPa.(1900bar)
The fuel passing the pressure valve will be returned to the tank and will be at a
very high temperature.
After rectifying the cause of excessive pressure it will then be necessary to
replace the pressure valve.

Intake Manifold Pressure


(Boost)

May 2005 - Page 52


Caterpillar Confidential: Green

With a normal Wastegate turbocharger as the exhaust gas volume and


temperature increase so does the turbo boost pressure.
At a predetermined pressure the boost air pressure over comes the spring load
and the Wastegate valve (D) opens venting the gas into the exhaust outlet,
thus controlling the turbo boost pressure.
In the Smart Wastegate the pressurised air passes to the Wastegate Actuator
(C) via a control valve (B). This valve is normally open allowing the air to vent
to atmosphere.
The spring in the Wastegate Actuator (C) is of a lower compressive load than in
the standard Wastegate, therefore it is possible to overcome the spring and
open the Wastegate at a lower pressure output from the turbo.
By operating under the control of the ECM (A), the boost pressure can be
controlled throughout the operating range of the engine.

We have a very Fault Tolerant extremely robust and reliable system. Inevitably
after many years service, faults may occur.
Traditionally, if the problem is Electrical, wiring / connectors are most likely to
be the cause.
Shorts / open circuits / high resistance connections, can be caused by any
combination of corrosion / abrasion / burning / vibration / fatigue and liquid
ingress.
Make sure all seals are correctly positioned. Blanking plugs must be fitted on
any unused pins, to prevent any liquid ingress.

Analogue Throttle Position Sensor.


The analogue pedal sends a voltage signal to the ECM depending on the pedal
position. This voltage, as shown above, varies from 0.5v to 4.5v. The ECM then
interprets this signal into a required engine speed. A comparison between
actual engine speed and desired engine speed is made and the amount of fuel
being delivered to the engine is adjusted to increase or decrease the RPM of
the engine.

PWM Throttle Position Sensor.


Throttle incorporates conditioning electronics to provide Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) signal output.
More consistent than a analogue throttle type.
No need for Idle Validation Switch.
Only three wire connection.
Uses sensor 8v reference voltage.
Less susceptible to voltage supply Variations.
Less susceptible to outside noise/interference.
The PWM pedal sends a signal to the ECM depending on the pedal position. This
signal varies from 10% duty cycle to 90% duty cycle. The ECM then interprets this
signal into a required engine speed. A comparison between actual engine speed and
desired engine speed is made and the amount of fuel being delivered to the engine
is adjusted to increase or decrease the RPM of the engine.

PWM Signal.
At engine idle, duty cycle = 10 - 22%.
Average time on (Pulse Width) = average voltage.
Pulse runs at 500Hz.
The position sensor generates a PWM signal which is a square wave. A
square wave signal is either full voltage or no voltage on or off. The percent
of time the signal is on versus the time off is called the duty cycle. Duty cycle
at low idle pedal position is 10% to 22%. Duty cycle at high idle pedal position
is 75% to 90%. The pedal position sensor transmits the signal to the ECM at a
constant frequency. This type of sensor provides a very accurate signal to the
ECM with a smooth transition between acceleration and deceleration. The
ECM determines if the sensor is faulty by monitoring the duty cycle. If the duty
cycle is greater than 90% or less than 10%, the ECM will log an active fault.

Why do we need an idle validation switch?


An Idle Validation Switch provides an extra level of safety. Its a throttle movement
detector. A micro switch is configured to operate when the pedal is in its released position. If
the idle validation switch tells the ECM that the pedal is released, but the voltage signal tells
the ECM that there is a speed demand, then the ECM can detect that there must be a fault
with the throttle sensor or its wiring.

How is the idle validation switch applied


A switch should be set up such that it closed (ON) when the pedal is released. It should
open (OFF) when the pedal is depressed a little.
Like other components, there will be some variation due to manufacturing tolerances and
wear of switches and switch mountings. We define 2 thresholds in the software, Max ON
and Min OFF.

Operating the throttle, forward, Max On Threshold


If the ECM reads a value above this and the switch is still ON
(Closed) then it will register a fault
Releasing the throttle, returning, Min Off Threshold
If the ECM reads a value below this and the switch is still OFF
(Open) then it will register a fault

Diagnostic Limits.
In an analogue throttle, if a we try to measure values too close to the supply voltage (5V) or to ground (0V) then it
is possible that short circuit, open circuits or noise events will be mistaken for valid signals.
In a PWM throttle, we cannot go as low as 0% or as high as 100% pulse width as both of these would be the same
as no signal, or the full 8 volts.
If the ECM measures values close to 0% or 100% raw signal then it is considered as an sensor fault and a
diagnostic code is sent or logged.
Example; 91-3, (Signal Voltage above normal or shorted to a higher voltage)
Example; 774-4, (Signal Voltage below normal or shorted to a lower voltage)
Position Limits.
A throttle pedal is designed so that when it is in the released position it will give a voltage output of approximately 1
volt. The sensor (potentiometer) used has a tolerance of 1% of full travel. The manufacturing tolerances of the
pedal add a further 2% (of full travel) tolerance.
Pedals will be produced, therefore, which, when in the released position will give a voltage somewhere between
0.7 volts and 1.3 volt
For this pedal the ECM would be configured to give an initial lower position of 15% (equivalent to 1.3V) and a lower
position limit of 10% (equivalent to 0.7V)
If a throttle pedal leaves the production line that gives an output of 1 volt, (when back). Then when the ignition is
turned the ECM will see that this value is lower than the initial lower limit but greater than the lower position limit. It
will now auto-calibrate to take 1volt to be the lower pedal position.
Dead Zone.
The lower Dead Zone will be a certain amount of throttle movement before the engine speed starts to rise.
The Dead Zone is defined as a percentage of the raw signal. If the throttle auto calibrates then the Dead Zone will
also move.

Upper Diagnostic Limit, Initial Upper Position, Upper Position Limit and Upper Deadzone are defined in exactly the
same way as the lower ones

Mode Selection.
Electronic control allows a signal mechanical specification to deliver different
rating curves and droop characteristics. Each combinations of rating and droop
is known as a mode. Each ECM may be configured to offer up to eight different
operating modes.
Torque/Fuel Limit Maps.
A maximum of four of four pre defined torque/fuel limit (Rating) curves may be
selected when ordering the engine and these will be embedded into the
ECM.These curves may in multi-mode operation, be toggled to
provide different characteristics whilst the engine is running.
Varying Droop.
Speed droop is the rate at which an engine will increase in speed if the load is
reduced for a given throttle setting. A drop slope of 10% would give a typical
road driving feel. Some applications, however, require tighter governing with
only small variations of speed against load. A droop of 2% may be suitable for
a PTO mode, some applications may need isochronous governing where the
droop is 0%. (variable set speed is Isochronous).

Mode Selection.
This feature provides the ability to select up to eight different modes of
operation under operator control. A mode defines a fuel limit map, a rated
speed and a droop value for each throttle input.
Different modes of operation may be used to aid particular working
environments by offering characteristics suitable for the work in hand.
Examples would be an economy mode, a ploughing mode or a PTO mode.
Up to three digital switch inputs may be used to determine which mode of
operation is required. With three switches, a maximum of eight modes may be
specified; with two switches, four modes; and with one switch, two modes.
Each mode has a single defined fuel limit map, a rated speed and a individual
droop values for throttle 1, throttle 2 and the comms throttle.
