ECA – Troubleshooting with SDP3

Changes
The following changes have been made in this
issue:
• The TI also applies to the PGRS series.
• A paragraph has been added on page 5.
Background
ECA units that are not defective have repeatedly
been returned under warranty. Upon inspection,
no faults with these separate ECA units have
been found. The ECA unit has been renewed be-
cause it may have affected the vehicle function
or prompted fault messages in the ICL. In other
cases, the ECA unit has been renewed incorrect-
ly because of its complicated history, but also
because it is relatively quick and easy to do so.

In many of the cases specified above, the cus-

tomer and workshop have found that renewing
the ECA unit solved the problem.

For Scania to be able to solve quality problems,

the problem must be clear during inspection. It
is important that the workshop troubleshoots ve-
hicles and ECA units systematically before
units are renewed. As much information as pos-
sible should then be sent to Scania.

With this TI, Scania wants to facilitate and im-

prove troubleshooting of the ECA unit, and to
provide a link between different fault codes and
quality problems that have been found in the
past.

Variant Codes:(1A and 1323E and 3575B) or (1B and 1323E and 3575B)

ECA function test using SDP3
Test the functionality of the ECA unit by carry-
ing out the Function test in SDP3.
The results shown are:
• The piston stroke is correct.
• The piston stroke is too short.
• The piston stroke is too long.
• No movement is possible.
If an incorrect piston stroke is found, check the
following:
• Check the fluid level in the ECA reservoir.
• Check for fluid leakage on ECA.
After renewal of ECA unit
It is important that the following calibrations
are performed in SDP3 after the ECA has been
renewed:
• Clutch adjustment.
• Setting of total clutch disc thickness.

Parts to the Scania factory
If parts are needed by the Scania factory, it is
important to send as much information as pos-
sible about the problem. If the ECA cable har-
ness is also renewed, this should be sent with
the ECA unit to the Scania factory.
Types of fault which do not re-
quire the ECA unit to be renewed
immediately
Clutch vibrations
If the problem is with clutch vibrations, renew
the parts in accordance with TI 04-15 04 27.
Gear changing problems with a specific
gear
Carry out an in-depth analysis of the gearbox.
For example, check the synchromesh, planetary
gear or the teeth.
Slipping clutch
Check that the latest OPC software is installed,
see TI 05-16 02 10.

Troubleshooting
Read any active or inactive fault codes using
SDP3. Save the vehicle information before any
fault codes are deleted.

Fault code 50000 – Fault type 1

Cause

Burnt circuit board components.

Action

See campaign TC 15 04 01.

Vehicles affected

Vehicles according to campaign.

Fault code 50000 – Fault type 2

Cause
Poorly inserted contact (A). Fault codes 50100
and 50110 may also be generated for this fault.

Action

Pull out the contact (A).

Press the insert out 0.5-0.7 mm using a screw-

driver for example. See illustration.

Press the contact in again.

Check if the fault code is still active.

When renewing the ECA unit, the pins,

1 898 960, on the cable harness to contact (A)
should be renewed as they may be corroded.

Vehicles affected

All.

Cause Cause

Poorly inserted contact (B). Incorrectly fitted plugs in contact (B), which
may allow water to enter.
Action

Pull out the contact and press it in properly
again. See AMI 05-023.

Fault code 50140

Cause

A warning to the driver that the clutch is cur-

rently wearing a lot.

Action

None. This is a common fault code which is

generated on most vehicles at some time. It is
not a fault with the ECA unit. If the fault code
is generated when you are experiencing clutch
slippage, make sure that the latest OPC soft-
ware has been installed in accordance with TI
05-16 02 10.

Vehicles affected

All.
