System Overview
SMCS - 1901-038; 1924
The engine is designed for electronic control of most engine operating functions. The electronic
system consists of an Electronic Control Module (ECM), the wiring harness, switches, sensors,
and fuel injectors. The engine ECM receives information from the sensors and the switches on the
engine. The engine ECM processes the information that is collected in order to make decisions on
control of the engine. By altering the fuel delivery with the fuel injectors, the engine ECM
controls the speed and the power that is produced by the engine.
Electronic Controls
Electronic Control Module
The ECM consists of two main components, the control computer (hardware) and the personality
module (flash file). The control computer consists of a microprocessor and electronic circuitry.
The flash file contains the engine's operational characteristics. The operating maps influence the
engine's performance.
Engine Governor
The engine ECM governs engine speed. The engine ECM and the personality module work
together by controlling the amount of fuel that is delivered by the injectors. Desired engine rpm is
determined by the throttle position sensor signal and certain sensor readings. Diagnostic codes
may derate the engine. Actual engine rpm is measured by the engine speed/timing signal.
Fuel Injection
The engine ECM controls the timing, the duration, and the pressure of the fuel that is injected. The
engine ECM varies the signals to the fuel injectors. Fuel is injected only while an injector solenoid
is energized by a 105 volt signal from the engine ECM. The timing of the injection signal
determines the engine timing. The length of the injection signal determines engine speed. By
controlling the timing and duration of the 105 volt signal, the ECM controls the engine speed.

Injection timing depends on the following conditions: desired engine rpm and load. The ECM
detects the top center of each cylinder. The ECM sends an injection signal at the desired time.
Cold mode is activated whenever the engine coolant temperature is below 70 °C (158 °F). Cold
mode remains active until the engine coolant temperature is warmer than 73 °C (163 °F).
FRC Limit
The flash file inside the engine ECM sets certain limits on the amount of fuel that can be injected.
The FRC limit is a limit that is based on the boost pressure. The boost pressure is calculated as the
difference in pressure between atmospheric pressure and turbocharger outlet pressure. The FRC
limit is used to control the air/fuel ratio for control of emissions. When the engine ECM senses a
higher boost pressure, the engine ECM increases the FRC limit. A higher boost pressure indicates
that there is more air in the cylinder. When the engine ECM increases the FRC limit, the engine
ECM allows more fuel into the cylinder.
The selection of "Multi-Torque" and "Dual Horsepower" is available through the Caterpillar
Electronic Technician (ET). If you select "Dual Horsepower", the engine ECM will use the low
power 1611 kW (2160 hp) torque map for all transmission gears. If you select "Multi-Torque", the
engine ECM will request the serial number of the transmission from the transmission ECM.
Note: If the transmission ECM does not communicate with the engine ECM, the engine
ECM will use the default 1611 kW (2160 hp) torque map. You may think that the low power
is an engine problem. The problem is really the failure of communications between the
transmission ECM and the engine ECM. The Cat ET will continue to display "Multi-

torque" on the Cat ET configuration screen in this circumstance. Power down the machine
and then restart the machine. The ECM will then reset the display to the default "Dual
Horsepower" configuration.
If the transmission ECM responds with the 793C transmission, then the engine ECM will use the
1611 kW (2160 hp) torque map for the "CONVERTER DRIVE". In the "DIRECT DRIVE" gears
1 through 5, the engine ECM will use a 1716 kW (2300 hp) torque map. In the "DIRECT DRIVE"
gear 6, the engine ECM will use a second 1716 kW (2300 hp) torque map with a different torque
shade.
When you select "Rating Number" a window will open up allowing you to select the 745 kW
(1000 hp) rating or the 686 kW (920 hp) rating. No password is required for this feature and no
transmission serial numbers are checked.
