Overview

Engine and ignition system


The engine is basically a DSC9 11 diesel engine
equipped with new cylinder heads with spark
plugs and new pistons. The ignition system
consists of inductive sensors on the camshaft
and flywheel, a control unit and separate
ignition coils for each spark plug.
Overview engine, ignition system

1 Ignition coil
2 Ignition cable
3 Spark plug
4 Cylinder head

The OC9 G02 is a 6-cylinder, 9 litre Otto engine


with the partially mechanical control of gas
supply and a lambda feedback system, i.e. a
system that can handle variations in gas grade
without manual adjustment. Calibration takes
place automatically.
The engine is fitted with a MegaJector that
controls the gas/air mixture to the engine. This
helps achieve low fuel consumption along with
smooth operation and low exhaust emissions.
The engine speed is controlled by an electric
throttle via the accelerator pedal.

Scania CV AB 2011, Sweden 01:01-07
Function description

Combustion generates exhaust gases that are


expelled from the cylinders at high pressure and
carried to the turbine wheel in the turbocharger.
The exhaust gases drive the turbine wheel which
is connected to the compressor impeller through
a shaft. Air is sucked in through the air filter by
the compressor impeller, compressed and forced
out into the inlet pipe. When the air is
compressed it becomes hot and expands. The air
passes the charge air cooler before being carried
into the engine making combustion more
efficient.
The charge air pressure is controlled by the
proportional valve. When the charge air pressure
gets too high the proportional valve opens the
wastegate valve on the side of the turbine wheel;
this releases the exhaust gases and reduces the
rotational speed of the compressor impeller,
reducing the charge air pressure.
The throttle valve is acted on by the driver’s
accelerator pedal, which in turn acts on the
electric throttle which provides the engine with
the quantity of air and fuel required to give the
engine the desired power. The minimum load
valve, which reduces the charge air pressure
when the throttle valve is closed rapidly, is
located on the intake manifold by the throttle
valve.
There is a bypass valve on the pressure side of
the turbocharger to reduce the charge air
pressure when the driver releases the
accelerator.

Function description

Gas control system


The gas equipment consists of tanks, mechanical
shut-off valves, solenoid valves, high and low
pressure regulators, a MegaJector, a manometer,
heat exchanger and gas mixer. The components
work together to provide the engine with the
correct amount of gas at the correct pressure.
The gas is carried at high pressure, approx.
200 bar, from the gas tanks on the high pressure
side to the gas panel. The gas is filtered and its
pressure regulated in the gas panel before being
carried to the engine through the MegaJector.
Two regulators on the high pressure side reduce
the gas pressure from approx. 200 bar to approx.
10 bar and carry the gas on to a regulator on the
low pressure side. Between the high pressure
side and low pressure side there is a solenoid
valve that shuts off the gas on the low pressure
side when the engine is switched off.
The regulators are connected to the gas mixer air
intake via pressure pipes. Reference values
control the high pressure regulators, low
pressure regulator and the MegaJector. In the
low pressure regulator and MegaJector the gas
pressure is further reduced to approx. 2-12 mbar
above the turbocharger charge air pressure. The
gas pressure must always be greater than the
charge air pressure.
The high pressure regulator and heat exchanger
are connected to the engine cooling system. The
gas is cooled drastically when it expands and
must therefore be heated by the cooling system.
The gas is carried from the low pressure
regulator through the MegaJector to the gas
mixer to be mixed with cleaned air from the
charge air cooler and provides the engine with
the correct fuel/air mixture. The MegaJector
regulates the gas/air ratio in the gas mixer using
a number of sensors connected to it.

Engine and ignition


system

General
The ignition system is of the inductive type.

Control unit
The control unit receives information about the
engine crankshaft position and camshaft
position through sensors. The control unit is
located on the cylinder block and provides a
voltage (24 V) to each ignition coil.

Ignition coil

WARNING!

The spark plugs are supplied with 25,000 V.


Carelessness can cause lethal injuries.

The purpose of the ignition coils is to raise the


voltage from 24 V to approx. 25,000 V in order
to generate a spark across the spark plug
electrodes.

01:01-07 ©
Scania CV AB 2011, Sweden 13
Function description

Spark plug
The spark plug produces an electric spark
between the spark plug electrodes on receiving a
signal from the ignition pulse sensor; this ignites
the gas mixture in the combustion chamber.
Each spark plug has its own ignition coil.

Type: NGK IRIFR7U4D


Electrode gap: 0.35 mm nominal value
Tightening torque: 35-40 Nm

Ignition pulse sensor


The ignition pulse sensors are located on the
camshaft gear. There is also a position sensor
which detects the position of the flywheel. Both
of these sensors must work for the engine to
start. If the engine has started only one position
sensor is used for the flywheel. At a preset
position the control system transmits a signal to
the spark plug to produce a spark.

Note: The firing position cannot be changed in


the OC9 G02. The position is determined by the
control unit and position sensors for the
camshaft and flywheel.

Function description

Wastegate valve
The wastegate valve acts as a charge air pressure
control valve for the turbocharger.
Wastegate valve component parts and flow

1 Air in
2 Air to the engine
3 Exhaust gases from the engine
4 Exhaust gases out
5 Wastegate valve
6 Bypass duct
7 Compressor impeller
8 Turbine wheel

The engine exhaust gases are expelled from the


cylinders at high pressure. The exhaust gases are
carried to the turbine wheel in the turbocharger
which starts to rotate. The turbine wheel is
connected to the compressor impeller via a
shaft.
The compressor impeller sucks air via the air
filter and forces the air into the inlet pipe. An
increased load on the engine produces a higher
pressure on the exhaust gases and higher
pressure on the intake air which increases the
charge air pressure.
At a set charge air pressure the wastegate valve
opens, releasing a proportion of the exhaust
gases past the turbocharger turbine wheel so that
the charge air pressure does not get too high.
The charge air pressure is controlled so that the
engine has the correct torque curve.
See Scania Multi 01-30 Wastegate.

01:01-07 ©
Scania CV AB 2011, Sweden 15
Function description

Proportional valve
The proportional valve controls the charge air
pressure via the pressure to the wastegate valve.
The charge air pressure is measured in the intake
manifold.
At a low charge air pressure the proportional
valve is closed. The wastegate valve pressure
sensor detects the reduced charge air pressure
and closes the wastegate valve. At a high charge
air pressure the proportional valve opens and the
wastegate valve pressure sensor responds by
opening the wastegate valve and regulating the
charge air pressure.
The proportional valve is a three-way valve
which is controlled by PWM signals (Pulse
Width Modulated) from the engine control unit.

Bypass valve
The purpose of the bypass valve is to reduce the
pressure against which the turbocharger is
working and slowly reduce the speed of the
turbocharger when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal. This prevents cavitation that
could damage the turbocharger.
The bypass valve is located on the inlet pipe
downstream of the turbocharger and is
controlled by the vacuum between the throttle
valve and intake valve. The bypass valve
controls the intake air back to the inlet pipe
upstream of the turbocharger.

Function description

Minimum load valve 1 2 3 4 5 6


The minimum load valve is located on the
throttle valve housing. When the throttle valve
closes rapidly the vacuum in the intake manifold
increases and the charge air pressure increases
because the turbocharger continues to spin due
to the moment of inertia. A spring-loaded valve
is opened mechanically when the vacuum
downstream of the throttle valve becomes too
great and the charge air pressure decreases.

Electric throttle
The electric throttle is an electronic control for
increasing and decreasing the engine speed. It
replaces mechanical control using a control
wire. For further information, see the booklet

Function description

Manometer
The manometer indicates the gas pressure in the
tanks before the gas has passed through the high
pressure regulators.

Heat exchanger
The temperature of the gas drops sharply when
the pressure is reduced and the gas expands.
When the gas is cooled there is a risk of damage
to components as they become brittle at low
temperatures.
The high pressure regulators and heat exchanger
downstream of the low pressure regulator are
connected to the engine cooling system. Coolant
from the engine is carried through the regulators
to heat up the gas. A constant gas temperature
provides better lambda control.

Solenoid valves
The purpose of the solenoid valves is to open
and shut off the gas flow when starting or
stopping the engine.
The solenoid valves open when the starter key is
turned to the start position and the starter motor
turns. The valves are kept open by the voltage
from the alternator charge control output.
There is a solenoid valve between the high
pressure side and low pressure side which acts
to shut off the connection between high and low
pressure.

Scania CV AB 2011, Sweden 19
Function description

Low pressure regulator


The low pressure regulator further reduces the
gas pressure from the high pressure side from
approx. 10 bar to a gas pressure approx.
2-12 mbar above charge air pressure.

Scania CV AB 2011, Sweden 01:01-07
Function description

Pressure reduction in the low pressure regulator


takes place in two stages.
In the first stage the gas reaches a valve with a
leaf spring and rubber seal design. When
unpressurised the valve is open. The pressure in
the first stage acts on a diaphragm and
counteracts the force of the spring, closing the
valve when the pressure is too high. The
connection between the first and second stages
is controlled by the second stage valve which is
acted on by the second stage diaphragm and its
spring.
The second stage of the regulator is connected,
via the MegaJector, to the gas mixer on the
engine intake manifold by a hose. The vacuum
from the gas mixer acts on the second stage
diaphragm which opens allowing the gas to be
sucked into the gas mixer and then on into the
engine.
The reference pressure pipe is connected to the
air pipe on the gas mixer. When the
turbocharger is charging a positive pressure
arises in the air pipe. In order to compensate for
this pressure in the gas mixer the pressure is
carried through the reference pressure pipe to
the outside of the diaphragm. This increases the
positive gas pressure in proportion to the charge
air pressure creating the correct ratio of gas to
air.

01:01-07 ©
Scania CV AB 2011, Sweden 21
Function description

High pressure regulator


There are two high pressure regulators on the
gas panel. The regulators reduce the gas
pressure from the tanks on the high pressure side
from approx. 200 bar to approx. 10 bar. In the
event of a fault leading to high pressure, the
safety valve releases gas through a gas pipe to
reduce the overpressure.

Shut-off valve, high pressure


At the fuel filter on the high pressure pipe
upstream of the gas panel there is a manual
valve for shutting off the gas from the gas tanks,
when renewing the fuel filter for example.

Fuel filter
The fuel filter is a throughflow filter which
mainly cleans the gas of oil. The filter is located
on the high pressure pipe from the gas tanks
upstream of the gas panel.

Function description

Engine management system


The engine management system is an electronic
system for controlling the amount of gas,
ignition and charge air pressure. The control
system consists of a control unit which is
connected to the MegaJector and a number of
sensors. The ignition coils and proportional
valve are also connected to the control unit.
The control system has a diagnostic socket for
connecting equipment used when changing
settings and troubleshooting.

Control unit
Factors that influence the engine are engine
speed, air temperature, pressure and the lambda
value in the exhaust system. Sensors on the
engine and chassis transmit information to the
control unit which controls the amount of gas,
ignition and charge air pressure.
The control unit has adaptive learning and
receives information from the sensors to
automatically adjust the amount of gas to the gas
mixer. The amount of gas and the gas/air
mixture are adjusted for complete combustion
using information from the lambda sensor about
combustion. The lambda system with feedback
manages variations in gas grade without the
need for manual adjustment.
Information in the control unit is saved in maps.
The amount of gas and gas/air mixture are
regulated by the information in the Lambda,
Ignition and Charge air pressure maps. See
Section Troubleshooting, HD ECM for
workshop.

Function description

MegaJector
The MegaJector contains a damper that
regulates the amount of gas to the gas mixer and
the gas/air ratio to the engine. The amount of
gas from the MegaJector is controlled by the
differential pressure sensor downstream of the
gas mixer. The sensor controls the damper so
that the engine receives the correct amount of
gas.

When air is pressed into the confined passages
in the gas mixer its speed and dynamic pressure
increases because the volume decreases in the
narrow passages. The increased throughflow
creates a vacuum and the static pressure drops
behind the diaphragm through a connection to
the diaphragm chamber through the holes in the
air/gas valve and diaphragm.
Because the pressure is lower on one side of the
diaphragm, in the chamber, the air will try to
even out the pressure differential between the
two sides. The spring-loaded valve is then
pressed back by the positive pressure, which in
turn presses back the valve and opens for the gas
to be mixed with the air. The gas pressure is
always greater than the charge air pressure so
that the air does not go back into the gas line.
The gas valve opens in proportion to an
increased charge air pressure and the gas/air
mixture is routed to the engine.

Gas tank
The gas tanks are made of a composite material
and hold 320 l. The tanks are marked with their
date of manufacture and how many fillings for
which they are approved. The gas tanks have
solenoid valves, manual shut-off valves, flow
limiters and fusible links.

Shut-off valve, gas tank


The gas tank has a shut-off valve for manually
shutting off the gas from the individual tank,
when renewing the gas tank for example.
There is a solenoid valve in the shut-off valve
which starts and shuts off the supply of gas to
the gas panel from the high pressure side when
the engine is started and stopped.
The solenoid valve also acts as a pipe break
valve (flow limiter) to limit the speed of the gas
outflow following the rupture of a pipe on the
high pressure side for example.
The shut-off valve contains a fusible link that
blows if the temperature exceeds 110°C.

Gas panel, leak test


Prepare the vehicle according to the regulations
contained in Safety and fire protection in service
workshops, 00:01-02.

• Gas under pressure (nitrogen or air) can be


connected to the high pressure gas inlet of
the gas panel without risk of overload.
• Gas under pressure may not be connected to
the reference (charge air pressure) pressure
connection. During actual operation the gas
pressure is raised to about the same level as
the reference pressure so that the pressure
differential between both sides of the
regulator diaphragm is very small. If the
regulator is tested using a reference pressure
of one bar the force on the diaphragm will
be approx. 1,650 N (165 kp) which is too
great.
• The pressure out downstream of the gas
panel is slightly higher than the reference
pressure. If no reference pressure is
connected the nitrogen (or air) will flow out
through the outlet on the low pressure side
with a slight pressure. This means that the
function of the solenoid valves can easily be
checked.
• Check the function of the valves. Gently
press your hand against the low pressure
outlet. The flow should stop.
• If a valve is leaking the pressure will
increase after several seconds which you
will be able to feel clearly with your hand.

Low pressure regulator, gas valve leak test

When idling, if the engine lambda setting varies


for no reason, the fault can be due to a leaking
valve in the low pressure regulator. The integrity
of the gas valves in the low pressure regulator
can be checked using compressed air.
Prepare the vehicle according to the regulations
contained in Safety and fire protection in service
workshops, 00:01-02.

1 Disconnect the connection for high pressure


gas to the gas panel and connect compressed
air at a pressure of approx. 1-10 bar.
2 Disconnect the gas line from the low
pressure outlet of the regulators.
3 Open the solenoid valve between the high
and low pressure regulators by connecting
24 V to the solenoid valve, using the
connection in the lines in the gas panel.
(Alternatively, the engine can be cranked by
the starter motor to open the valves.) Air,
together with residual gas (which can be
noticed by its smell), will now flow out
through the low pressure outlet at a slight
pressure.
4 Stop the air flow with your hand gently
pressed against the low pressure outlet.
Keep your hand in place for 10-20 s. If you
feel no pressure against your hand the
valves in the low pressure regulator are
leaktight. If you can feel a clearly increasing
pressure on your hand then one of the valves
is leaking.
5 Rectify the fault and check all gas
connections using leak detection spray.

Troubleshooting

1. Checks to be made
Symptom
The engine is running poorly at full load but well at other loads.
Possible cause Action
A Incorrect lambda value Check the variables UEGO Phi and Phi command on the
PhiNG page. See Section HD ECM.
B Low tank pressure Refuel if the pressure is lower than 30 bar.
C The gas regulator is not Close the high pressure shut-off valve, crank the engine
receiving a gas supply using the starter motor and check the manometer to see if
the pressure drops. Check that the solenoid valve on the low
pressure side opens if the pressure does not drop.
D Fault in the ignition system Check whether the engine fires on all cylinders by shutting
off each of the cylinders in turn. See Section HD ECM,
Test. Shut off the cylinders in firing order not cylinder
order. 1=cyl 1, 2=cyl 5, 3=cyl 3, 4=cyl 6, 5=cyl 2, 6=cyl 4.
Renew the spark plugs if the mileage since the last spark
plug change is greater than 30,000 km.
F Fault in the ignition system Check that all spark plugs generate a spark by
disconnecting one ignition cable at a time. Otherwise renew
the spark plug, ignition cable, ignition coil and cable
harness, in that order.
G Fault in the ignition system Check that the engine starts up the ignition system. See
Section HD ECM.
I Dirt in the gas system Check the pressure differential between the charge air
pressure and gas pressure in the low pressure regulator. The
pressure differential can be measured using a water column
in a transparent hose. The gas pressure should be
20-100 mm higher than the charge air pressure both at
idling speed and at full load. If this is not the case check for
dirt in the solenoid valve or low pressure regulator valve.

Troubleshooting

Possible cause Action


J Dirt in the gas system Measure the pressure downstream of the high pressure
regulator by connecting a 16 bar manometer where the
safety valve on the high pressure regulator is normally
situated. The pressure should be 8-10 bar at all loads.
Check the pressure at idling speed and at full load.
K Fault in the low pressure Remove the valve cone in the solenoid valves and check
valve whether the engine runs at full load.
Note: The valve cone must be refitted after troubleshooting.
L Leakage in the 1 inch gas Check that none of the hoses or lines are damaged or kinked
hose, reference or pressure and that there is no water in the reference pressure hoses.
lines Check that the reference pressure hose nipples and hose
clamps on the gas hose are securely tightened.
O Poor gas grade Check the lambda value, see 1 A.
Q Minimum load valve Remove the three screws securing the minimum load valve.
Fabricate a steel plate cover that covers the hole in the
throttle valve housing and check whether the engine runs
well with it in place.
Note: The minimum load valve must be refitted in exactly
the same way as it was removed. Mark up the position of
the cover and count the number of turns when the cover is
unscrewed.

2. Checking
Symptom
The engine is running poorly all the time or unevenly at moderate loads.
Possible fault Action
A Fault in the ignition system See 1 D.
B Fault in the ignition system Check that the cable harness is connected to the correct
cylinder.
D Incorrect lambda value Check the lambda sensor. See 1 A.
E Fault in the low pressure Check the pressure differential between the charge air
regulator pressure and gas pressure in the low pressure regulator.
The pressure differential can be measured using a water
column in a transparent hose. The gas pressure should be
20-100 mm greater than the charge air pressure. If the gas
pressure is lower check that the diaphragm nearest the
cover on the low pressure regulator is undamaged. If the
gas pressure is greater than the charge air pressure, check
whether the lever attached to the diaphragm is bent.
Otherwise, check the leaf spring at stage 1 in the low
pressure regulator (this is next to the gas inlet in the low
pressure regulator, and the entire regulator must be
dismantled).
F Fault in the low pressure Force the solenoid valve to open by connecting the
regulator electrical cables directly to the 24 V system or the battery.
You should not be able to hear a flow through the gas
regulators. If you can hear a hissing sound, check the
integrity of the valve for stage 1 in the low pressure
regulator. The rubber seal on the leaf spring may be
damaged, see 2 E. One likely cause is that the water
content in the gas is too high. Ask for analyses from the
gas supplier. Check that the diaphragm for stage 1 is not
damaged and that the sides enclosing the diaphragm at
stage 1 are flat.

Possible fault Action


G Fault in the low pressure Check that there is no water or oil inside the cover on the
regulator low pressure regulator.
H Fault in the solenoid valve Check that the solenoid valve on the low pressure side is
working properly. The valve should click when a
voltage is applied.
I Fault in the gas mixer Check the integrity of the diaphragm on both sides in the
gas mixer, that it is not damaged and that there is no oil
or water inside the covers.
J Leakage in 1 inch gas hose Check that none of the hoses are damaged or kinked and
that the hose clamps are securely tightened.
K Fault codes in the Electric Rectify the fault according to the fault codes, clear the
throttle system fault codes and test drive again.
L Leakage between the gas Check for leaks (can be hard to find). Check that the
mixer and engine screws and hose clamps are securely tightened and that

reference pressure hose.
B Fault in the gas system Check the pressure differential between the charge air
pressure and gas pressure, see 2 E and 2 F.
C Fault in the ignition system Check that there is a spark on all plugs by shutting off
one cylinder at a time using the HD ECM tool. See 1 D.
D Fault in the ignition system Check the two sensors for ignition voltage. See Section

4. Checking
Symptom
4 The engine idling speed is too high
Possible fault Action
A Fault in the electric throttle Check whether the engine speed drops if the electric
or electric throttle linkage throttle linkage is disconnected and the idling stop is
screwed out as far as possible. Adjust the electric throttle
linkage and update the end position memory for the
electric throttle. See Electric throttle in the Scania
workshop manual.
B Fault in the minimum load If the engine speed is too high and the idling screw is
valve screwed out as far as possible, check that there is
approx. 1 mm clearance between the lever and the idling
stop. If the vehicle is new and the throttle valve is
completely closed, there may be a fault in the calibration
of the minimum load valve opening pressure (the
pressure must be at least 0.8 bar lower than atmospheric
pressure). If the vehicle is old the minimum load valve
may be leaking and must be renewed.
C Fault in the gas mixer Check that the valve on the inside of the diaphragm is
not damaged. If there are marks by the sealing surface it

5. Other checks
A Fault in the gas system Open the gas main valve and check what pressure the
manometer indicates. Close the valve. Crank the engine
using the starter motor and check whether the pressure
has dropped. If the pressure has not dropped, the engine
has not received any gas. Check whether the solenoid
valves open.
B Leakage downstream of the Open the gas main valve. Check what pressure the
main valve manometer indicates. Close the valve and wait for at
least 30 min. If the pressure has dropped there is a leak.
C Leakage Spray soapy water or leak detection spray onto all
threaded fittings if a leakage is suspected. A
hydrocarbon sniffer can be used to trace leaks.
D Fault in the ignition system Disconnect the ignition cable at the ignition coil. Hold
the electrical cable approx. 10 mm from the engine and
crank the engine using the starter motor. If there is no
visible spark the ignition system is inoperative.
Note: Hold the insulated section of the ignition cable
and do not touch the engine or vehicle. This check
should not be carried out in wet weather because of the
risk of electric shocks.
E Fault in the low pressure Connect a transparent hose with a water column between
regulator the reference pressure and gas pressure on the low
pressure regulator. The gas pressure should be
20-100 mm greater than the reference pressure. If the

2 Adaptive value for lambda. The basic value
is specified in the adaptation table for
natural gas on the CLCal NG page. The
value is adjusted automatically towards a
correct value. The longer the distance driven
the more correct the value.

Note: Adaptation is reset when renewing the


control unit or when the supply voltage to the
control unit is disconnected.

Field information
Bypass valve Rotational speed sensor for
engine control unit
Part number/Description
Part number/Description
1 348 320/Bypass valve
1 420 305/Rotational speed sensor
The bypass valve has a small sealing surface and
can cause leakage on the pressure side or create 271 360/Incorrect shim
a whistle when air is vented. The valve is to be
fitted upright and not horizontally; this is so that 271 670/Correct shim
the diaphragm and air work in the same
direction when air is vented. This makes the The rotational speed sensor for the engine
opening of the valve smooth and means that the control unit should be fitted using a shim, for the
diaphragm holds the valve closed for as long as correct voltage. Without a shim the voltage can

than one shim the voltage may be too low. Too
high a voltage on repeated occasions will create
fault codes from the engine control unit.

Gas pressure sensor


Part number/Description
1 747 313/Faulty sensor
1 774 112/Correct sensor
The gas tank pressure sensor has an operating
range of between 0.5-4.5 V which means that
the fuel level in the measuring instrument
swings between half tank and empty tank. This
pressure sensor must be replaced with a pressure
sensor with an operating range between
0.5-3.5 V. See Scania workshop manual
01:02-04.
