Diamond Logic™ II Control System.
The electronic control system features
an Engine Control Module (ECM)
and an Injector Drive Module (IDM).
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation
•
(EGR) valve is positioned by an
ECM controlled electric stepper motor. The system uses an EGR drive
module to communicate commands
from the ECM to the EGR valve.
VT 275 engines use two magnetic
•
pickup sensors to determine crankshaft speed and position and camshaft
position. Magnetic pick-up sensors
feature high reliability and accuracy.
•
control the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR), the EGR valve, the boost
control solenoid, the glow plug relay
and the inlet air heater relay. The ECM
also shares sensor data with the IDM
over communication links between the
two modules.
• The IDM is mounted on brackets cast
into the ECM. The ECM and IDM are
then mounted with vibration isolator
grommets to the control module assembly bracket on the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
IDM
The Injector Drive Module (IDM) re-
•
ceives sensor information from the
ECM over three communication links:
the CAN 2 link, the CMPO circuit,
and the CKPO circuit. The IDM uses
this information to calculate injection
timing and duration. The IDM controls injector operation through 48volt signals to the twin injector coils.

ECM
IDM X1
ECM X1
The ECM has four connectors. The
•
connectors are called X1 through X4
with ECM X1 being the top ECM connector as mounted on the truck. The
IDM has three connectors with IDM X1
being the top connector as mounted
on the truck. The ECM X1 and X2 connectors are for engine sensor inputs
and X3 and X4 are for chassis inputs.
The IDM X1 and X2 connectors are for
injector operation and X3 is for chassis
inputs and communication between
the ECM and IDM.
•
EGR valve position from the ECM over the engine CAN 2 link. The module then sends a series
of voltage and ground signals to the Motor U, V,
and W terminals of the EGR valve. The voltage
signals are Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
to control current flow to the motor field coils.
The module receives battery voltage and ground
•
through the 12-way engine-to-chassis connector. The module supplies a reference voltage to
three position sensors within the EGR valve.
The drive module uses the sensor signals to
determine the percent of valve opening.
•
lower side of the intake manifold and projects
through the manifold and into the inlet air stream.
The element warms the incoming air to aid
•
cold start and reduce emissions during warmup. The ECM turns the inlet air heater on for
a predetermined amount of time, based on
engine oil temperature, intake air temperature,
and barometric air pressure. The inlet air heater
can remain on while the engine is running to
reduce white smoke during engine warm-up.
Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) Valve
The IPR mounts to the high-pressure pump
•
and controls the amount of oil allowed to drain
from the high-pressure system. When the ECM
increases the IPR signal duty cycle, the valve
blocks the oil’s path to drain and pressure rises.
When the ECM reduces the duty cycle, a larger
volume of oil is allowed to drain from the system
and pressure is reduced. The valve contains a
pressure relief valve for the system that opens
if system pressure reaches 4500 psi. The IPR
is protected by a heat shield that must be reinstalled after servicing.
•
used to improve cold start operation,
reduce emissions and white smoke,
and improve engine warm-up. The IAH
relay is the taller of the two relays. The
IAH relay receives battery power from
the starter power-feed terminal and the
normally open terminal connects to the
element through the harness. One end
of the relay coil is grounded through
the engine 12-way connector. The relay closes when the coil receives voltage from the ECM.
Glow Plug Relay
Glow plugs are used to improve cold
•
engine starting. Glow plug operation
is controlled by the ECM through the
glow plug relay. The relay common
terminal is connected by jumper to
the common terminal of the Inlet Air
Heater relay. The normally open terminal connects to the glow plug harness.
One end of the relay coil is grounded
through the engine 12-way connector.
The relay is closed when the other end
of the coil receives voltage from the
ECM.

MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is
•
mounted with ductwork between the
turbocharger inlet and the air filter element. The sensor applies voltage to
a low resistance thermistor exposed
to the fresh air portion of the intake
charge. The MAF sensor circuitry measures the increase in voltage required
to offset the cooling effect of the air
flow over the thermistor. This voltage
is then converted into a variable frequency that is sent to the ECM. The
MAF value can be read with MasterDiagnostics® software in lb./min.

and power down process. When the
key is OFF, the ECM stays powered up
for a brief period. The ECM then powers down after internal housekeeping functions have been completed.
Key Power
The Run/Accessory position of the
•
Key Switch receives battery voltage
from the Power Distribution Center.
When the key is ON, the switch supplies battery voltage through fuse
F47 to ECM pin X3-3. Battery voltage
is available at all times through fuse
F38 to ECM relay pins 30 and 86.
Pin 86 supplies voltage to the relay coil.
•
Pin 85 connects the coil to pin X3-5
•
of the ECM.
When the key is ON, voltage supplied
•
to pin X3-3 signals the ECM that the
operator is going to start the engine.
The ECM then supplies a ground
circuit to pin X3-5. When this occurs, current flows through the ECM
relay coil and creates a magnetic
field causing the relay to latch. When
latched, the relay connects pin 30
to pin 87 and supplies current to the
ECM through pin X4-1 and X4-2.
Shut Down
When the key is OFF and voltage is
•
removed from ECM pin X3-3, the ECM
shuts down the engine but keeps the
ECM powered up briefly until the internal house keeping is completed.

key is OFF, the IDM stays powered up
for a brief period. The IDM then powers down after internal housekeeping functions have been completed.
IDM Power Up
The Key Switch receives battery volt-
•
age from the Power Distribution Center
(PDC. When the key is ON, the switch
supplies battery voltage through F-47
fuse and pin 9 of the engine 12-way
connector to pin X3-7 of the IDM.
Battery voltage is available through
•
the PDC F-34 fuse to IDM relay pin
30 and 86 at all times. Pin 85 supplies
voltage to the relay coil. Pin 85 takes
that voltage through pin 8 of the engine 12-way connector to pin X3-27
of the IDM. When the key is ON, voltage supplied to pin X3-7 signals the
IDM to provide a ground circuit to pin
X3-27. When this occurs, current flow-
ing through the IDM relay coil builds
a magnetic field that causes the relay
to latch. When latched, the relay connects pin 30 to pin 87 and supplies
current through pin 12 of the engine
in-line 12-way connector to pin X3-4,
X3-23, X3-24, and X3-25 of the IDM.
Four pins receive voltage to spread
the current draw over multiple pins.
IDM Logic
The IDM also requires voltage for the
•
internal logic circuit. When the IDM relay latches, pin 87 of the relay supplies
voltage to the IDM logic circuit through
fuse F-66 in the PDC. The fuse feeds
through pin 6 of the engine in-line 12way connector to the IDM pin X3-8.

cold starts. The ECM turns on the
glow plugs prior to engine cranking to
increase the temperature of the cylinders. Glow plug operation is controlled
by the ECM through the glow plug relay. The glow plugs have full voltage
if battery voltage is normal, or pulse
width modulated to control the current if battery voltage is above normal.
The ECM calculates glow plug ontime
based on coolant temperature and
barometric pressure. The required time
to warm up the cylinders decreases as
engine coolant temperature increases.
Warm up time decreases as barometric air pressure increases. The glow
plugs may continue to be energized
after start-up to reduce emissions.
Relay Operation
The glow plug relay receives battery
•
voltage to its common terminal from
the starter power-feed terminal. The
normally open terminal connects to
the individual glow plugs through the
glow plug harness. One end of the
relay coil is always grounded through
pin 4 of the engine 12-way connector.
The ECM supplies 12 volts to the other
end of the coil through ECM pin X117 in order to close the relay contacts.
Glow Plug Lamp
The glow plug lamp is used as a
•
wait-to-start indicator. The ECM
lights the glow plug lamp at glow
plug activation to signal the operator
to wait for the cylinders to warm up.
Both lamp operation and the glow plug
•
operation are based on BAP and ECT
values but are independent of each other.
The glow plug operation may
•
continue after the lamp is off.
Glow Plug Diagnostics
Glow plug diagnostics are used to
•
determine if the relay is operating cor-
rectly when commanded on. An additional wire on the relay’s normally
open terminal connects to ECM pin
X1-21. This circuit, GPD, allows the
ECM to monitor the relay operation.
The glow plugs can be turned on using
•
the KOEO Glow Plug/Inlet Air Heater
Test. The test can only be activated
twice per key cycle.
•
(IAH) element mounted in the front of
the intake manifold. The IAH is used to
improve cold start operation, reduce
emissions and white smoke, and improve engine warm-up. When the key
is ON, the ECM determines if the element should be activated and for how
long, based on barometric pressure
and engine oil temperature. On time
is limited to prevent heater element
damage and to prevent damage to the
intake manifold. The heater relay delivers full voltage to the element if battery voltage is normal, or the relay is
pulsed by the ECM to control the current if battery voltage is above normal.
If the battery voltage is so low that
the starter motor operation may be affected, the inlet air heater is disabled.
Relay Operation
The IAH relay receives battery power
•
from the starter power feed terminal.
The normally open terminal connects
to the element through the harness.
One end of the relay coil is always
grounded through pin 4 of the engine
12-way connector. The other end of
the coil receives 12 volts from ECM
pin X1-18 to close the relay contacts.
Inlet Air Heater Diagnostics
An additional wire on the normally
•
open terminal connects to ECM pin
X2-11. This diagnostic circuit allows
the ECM to determine if the IAH relay is
on when commanded on by the ECM.
The Inlet Air Heater can be turned on
•
using the KOEO Glow Plug/Inlet Air
Heater Test. The test can only be activated twice per key cycle. The ECM
will delay the Inlet Air Heater operation
for three seconds after the test is activated.
•
the mass of the fresh air portion of the
intake air charge. To reduce Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOx), a portion of the fresh
air charge is displaced with cooled
exhaust gases. The ECM calculates
the total engine gas flow based on
MAT, MAP and RPM. The ECM then
determines the required EGR percent based on the current engine
operating conditions. At this point,
the ECM commands the exhaust portion of the total charge through the
EGR valve while monitoring the fresh
air portion through the MAF sensor.
Sensor Construction
The sensor housing contains two
•
sensors, the MAF sensor and the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor.
The MAF sensor contains a heated
element placed in the air stream. The
amount of electrical power needed
to maintain the element at the proper
temperature depends directly on the
•
voltage divider circuits. A thermistor
and a fixed resistor make up one voltage divider circuit, and the heated element and a fixed resistor make up the
other voltage divider circuit. The two
voltage divider circuits are combined
into a bridge circuit with a common
power supply and a common ground.
During operation, when voltage is ap-
•
plied to the bridge, the temperature
of the heated element increases and
the resistance decreases. This affects the output of the divider circuit.
The thermistor side is affected only
•
by ambient air temperature. The divider voltages are compared and
the input voltage to the bridge
is increased or decreased until both divider voltages are equal.
An increase or decrease in air-
•
flow will change the ratio between
the divider voltages, which results
in a change to the supply voltage.
The signal controller circuit measures
•
the voltage to the bridge and, based
on that value, sends a frequency signal
to the ECM.

chassis mounted electric fuel pump. At
key-on, the ECM will operate the fuel
pump for up to 60 seconds to prime
the system. Priming allows the pump to
pressurize the system and to allow air in
the system to bleed out through an orifice between the filter housing and the
fuel return circuit. When the engine is
in run mode, the pump will operate continuously. If the engine dies or is shut
down, or if it is not started within 60
seconds, the ECM will stop the pump.
Circuit Operation
To operate the pump, the ECM provides
•
a ground at ECM pin X3-9 to latch the
fuel pump relay. The relay takes power
from fuse F40 and provides it to pin 1
of the pump connector. The ECM monitors the relay’s operation through ECM
pin X4-15. Battery voltage should be
present at X4-15 when the relay is commanded on. If the ECM does not detect the voltage, a DTC will be logged.
•
ule (HFCM) contains a fuel heater.
When the key is ON, the key switch
provides power to pin 1 of the heater connector through fuse 65. The
heater element contains a thermostat
that controls the heater operation.
Water-In-Fuel Sensor
The pump module contains a Water-
•
In-Fuel (WIF) sensor. The WIF sensor
receives voltage from fuse 65. If the
filter detects water, the sensor sends
the voltage to ECM pin X3-1. The ECM
then activates the dash WIF lamp.
Engine Coolant Level
The Engine Coolant Level (ECL) sen-
•
sor uses a floating ball and a magnetic
switch. When the coolant level is full,
the float will rise and the magnet will
pull the ECL contacts open. When
the level falls, the contacts close.
ECM Pin X3-4 supplies a 5v signal to
•
pin A of the ECL sensor. Pin B of the
sensor connector is grounded through
the chassis harness. When the level is
OK, the switch is open and the ECM
will see five volts on the circuit. If the
level is low, the switch is closed and
the circuit is grounded. With the circuit
grounded the voltage goes to zero.
The ECM can not detect an open or
•
short circuit in the ECL system but
does continuously monitors the circuit
for in-range faults. When the ECM detects a voltage between 3.4 and 4.3 it
is assumed there is a circuit failure and
an in-range fault, DTC 236 will be set.
This failure can be caused by a high resistance connection or an intermittent
short to ground.
•
nents built into one housing: the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APS)
and the Idle Validation Switch (IVS).
The APS is a potentiometer type sen-
•
sor. The ECM supplies a reference
voltage (Vref) and ground to the potentiometer and the sensor sends a voltage signal back to the ECM indicating
the pedal position. The idle validation
switch receives 12 volts from the chassis harness and signals the ECM when
the pedal is in the idle position. If the
ECM detects an APS signal out of
range high or low, the ECM will ignore
the APS signal and operate at low idle.
If a disagreement in the state of IVS
•
and APS is detected by the ECM, and
the ECM determines that the IVS is at
fault, the ECM will allow a maximum of
50% of APS. If the ECM cannot de-
termine that the IVS is at fault, the engine will be restricted to low idle only.
Barometric Absolute Pressure
(BAP) sensor
The BAP sensor is mounted in the cab.
•
The BAP sensor provides altitude information to the ECM, so fuel quantity and
timing, glow plug on time, intake heater
on time, and the operation of the Boost
Control Solenoid can be adjusted to
compensate for air density changes.
Cruise Control
Cruise control operation is controlled
•
through the ECM. Two switches in the
cab are used to signal the operator’s
intention for speed control. The Cruise
On/Off (COO) switch sends a voltage
signal to ECM pin X4-6. With the COO
switch on, the operator can use the
Set (SCS) and resume (RES) switch
to control the vehicle speed.

three independent communication
links. The three links are CMPO, CKPO,
and CAN 2. In addition to communications with the IDM, the ECM also sends
engine information over the CAN 1
link to the vehicle’s instrument cluster
and the 9-pin Diagnostic connector.
Cam Position Output (CMPO)
The CMPO signal is a 0-12V digital sig-

nal used to communicate the camshaft
position to the IDM. The CMPO signal
is a square wave signal derived from the
information contained in the camshaft
position sensor’s AC voltage signal.
The ECM generates the CMPO signal
by pulling down (switching to ground) a
single wire 12V circuit that originates in
the IDM. The IDM reads the signal and
uses it for injector timing calculations.
Crank Position Output (CKPO)
The CKPO signal is a 0-12V digital sig-
•
nal used to communicate the crankshaft
position and speed to the IDM. The
CKPO signal is a square wave signal
derived from the information contained
in the crankshaft position sensor’s
AC voltage signal. The ECM generates the CKPO signal by pulling down
(switching to ground) a single wire
12V circuit that originates in the IDM.
CKPO is used by the IDM for injector
timing and fuel quantity calculations.

pin A of the ECL sensor. Pin B of the
sensor connector is grounded through
the chassis harness. When the level is
OK, the switch is open and the ECM
will see five volts on the circuit. If the
level is low, the switch is closed and
the circuit is grounded. With the circuit
grounded the voltage goes to zero.
The ECM can not detect an open or
•
short circuit in the ECL system but
does continuously monitors the circuit
for in-range faults. When the ECM detects a voltage between 3.4 and 4.3 it
is assumed there is a circuit failure and
an in-range fault, DTC 236 will be set.
This failure can be caused by a high resistance connection or an intermittent
short to ground.
•
A/C clutch. The ECM receives an
A/C demand signal from the chassis, and engages the A/C clutch.
A/C Demand
The A/C demand signal originates
•
at the ECM as a reference voltage
on X3-10. The ECM supplies 5 volts
to pin 10 and considers clutch engagement when the voltage is pulled
low (shorted to ground) by the A/C
on/off switch in the dash located
A/C Control Head. The low-pressure
switch (LPSW), high-pressure switch
(HPSW), and the thermostat switch
(T-STAT SW) are in series in the
A/C demand circuit. If the compressor
head pressure rises above 430 psi,
the high-pressure switch opens and
the demand signal will be 5V. If pressure on the low side of the compressor goes below 7 psi, the low-pressure
switch will open and the demand signal will be 5V. The last switch is the
thermostat control in the A/C Control
Head. If the thermostat is positioned
so that in-cab temperature demands
are satisfied, the thermostat will open
and the demand signal will be 5V.
A/C Control
If the A/C demand signal is
pulled low, the ECM pulls the
AC Control circuit low at pin
X3-22. When pin 22 is low, a ground
is provided for the A/C Clutch Relay.
The relay latches and battery voltage
is provided to the A/C clutch through
pin 5 of the engine 12-way connector.
Switches
The thermostatic switch (T-STAT
SW) monitors evaporator core
temperature to prevent freezing
and to regulate cab temperatures.
The low pressure switch (LPSW)
prevents compressor damage
in the event of a refrigerant leak.
The high pressure cutoff Switch
(HPSW) interrupts compressor operation in the event of high system pressures.

filter, two-stage turbocharger, charge air cooler, intake manifold, Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) cooler and EGR valve. The mass air flow
sensor, the intake air temperature sensor, the
manifold air temperature sensor, the manifold
absolute pressure sensor, and the EGR valve
position sensors within the EGR valve are all
inputs from the system to the ECM. The ECM
controls the system through the EGR valve,
and the turbocharger boost control solenoid.
System Operation
The VT 275 uses a regulated two-stage tur-
•
bocharger to boost the volume of air flowing
into the cylinders. The system consists of two
turbochargers with exhaust flow through the
units controlled by the turbocharger boost
control solenoid. The smaller of the two turbochargers is identified as the high-pressure
turbocharger and is sized to provide boost
for low to medium speeds. The larger turbo-
charger is the low-pressure turbo
and is sized to work in tandem with
the high-pressure unit to provide the
boost and air flow needed for highspeed, high-load engine conditions.
Air passes through the air filter ele-
•
ment and the mass air flow sensor
to enter the compressor of the lowpressure turbocharger. Air that leaves
the low-pressure compressor flows
through the crossover tube to the
compressor inlet of the high-pressure
turbocharger. Air from the compressor
goes to the Charge Air Cooler (CAC).
The CAC is mounted in front of the ra-
•
diator. The cooler is an air-to-air heat
exchanger that uses airflow to remove
heat energy from the pressurized intake charge. Reducing the temperature of the air increases the charge
density, which results in a more efficient engine with quicker engine
response and reduced emissions.
After the CAC, the air flows through
•
piping to the intake manifold where
it is distributed to the cylinders.
Exhaust flow from the cylinders exits
•
the exhaust manifolds and spools up
the high-pressure turbine. The exhaust
passes through the high-pressure turbine and enters the low-pressure turbine. The exhaust gases then exit the
turbine and flow out the exhaust system.
A bypass valve controls the exhaust
•
flow through a passage that allows a
portion of the exhaust to bypass the
high-pressure turbine and go directly
to the low-pressure turbine. Part of the
exhaust gas that leaves the left bank
exhaust manifold is diverted to the
EGR cooler. Heat energy is removed
from the exhaust while in the cooler
and transferred to the engine’s coolant. The cooled exhaust gases then
flow through a short internal passage
in the intake manifold to the EGR valve.
The EGR valve meters a portion of the
cooled exhaust gases into the intake
manifold where the exhaust displaces
a portion of the fresh air charge.

on the air filter housing. The gauge allows the operator to check the condition without removing the filter. The
restriction gauge can be reset by
pushing the yellow button on the end.
Note: The filter restriction gauge bel-
•
lows will lock in position if restriction
exceeds 26 inches of water. The filter
should be replaced and the gauge reset.
The filter element should be replaced if

ed electric fuel pump. The pump is
mounted with the fuel heater and primary filter in the Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module (HFCM). The fuel
pump relay, which is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC), is
controlled and monitored by the ECM.
Water separated from the fuel in the
•
HFCM is detected by the Water-inFuel (WIF) sensor. The sensor is an
input to the ECM, which controls the
WIF dash lamp through the CAN 1 link.
The HFCM has both an electric fuel
•
heater and a temperature controlled
recirculation valve. The valve regulates
recirculation through the system to
assist the heater in warming the fuel.
The secondary filter and fuel pressure
regulator valve are mounted on the engine.
The fuel pump, fuel heater, pressure relief valve,
•
Water-in-Fuel (WIF) sensor, recirculation valve,
water drain and primary filter are all located
in the Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module
(HFCM). The secondary filter, pressure regulator and banjo bolts are mounted on the engine.
The ECM uses the fuel pump relay to activate
•
the fuel pump at key-on. Fuel drawn from the
tank contacts the electric fuel heater, passes
through the one-way check valve, and enters
the filter where water is separated. Fuel passes
through the filter media and enters the pump inlet
while water settles to the bottom of the housing
until the level of water activates the WIF sensor.
Pressurized fuel from the pump is routed to the
engine-mounted filter. Fuel flows through the
filter, then through individual steel lines to the
cylinder heads. Each line is attached to the cylinder head with a banjo bolt. Each bolt contains
an orifice and a check valve. Once in the head
passages, fuel is distributed to the injectors.
FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
Fuel is exposed to the pressure regulator
•
in the secondary filter housing. The regulator returns excess fuel to the HFCM where
it is directed to either the fuel tank or the
pump inlet, depending on fuel temperature.
Both filter elements push open a fuel passage
•
valve when inserted into their respective housings. Without the filter in place, fuel will not
flow through the system. The engine could start
without the filter, but will not run properly.
Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module (HFCM)
The Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module con-
•
tains the fuel pump, fuel filter, WIF sensor,
heater and the recirculation control valve. The
water drain valve and all fuel connections are
mounted on the module cover. The lower connection on the pump end of the module is the
suction side to the tank and the lower connection on the filter side is pressure to the enginemounted filter.
The HFCM contains a 10-micron primary fuel filter. The
•
replaceable filter element opens a fuel passage in the
end of the pump when the filter is inserted into the housing. Without the filter in place, sufficient fuel will not
pass through the system for correct engine operation.
Fuel from the tank is exposed to the electric fuel heater as
•
it enters the HFCM module. The heater is controlled by the
Key Switch start/run circuit and is selfregulating. The heater
comes on when fuel temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and
goes off at 80°F (27°C). Return fuel from the engine is recirculated to the suction side of the filter until the fuel temperature is sufficient to cause the recirculation valve to close.
After the valve closes, all returned fuel is directed back to
the tank.
Secondary Fuel Filter
The secondary filter is a top-loaded, engine-mounted fuel
•
filter. Fuel enters the filter housing under pressure from the
fuel pump through the inlet line and banjo bolt. Fuel passes
through the 4-micron filter element and through the filter
stand pipe to enter the two fuel lines to the cylinder heads.
FILTER HOUSING
The filter standpipe contains a valve that is opened by the
•
filter when it is installed in the housing. Without the filter in
place, sufficient fuel will not pass through the system for correct engine operation.
Measure Fuel Pressure
The engine will not perform correctly with low fuel pressure.

•
Fuel pressure can be measured at the secondary filter housing
by removing the fuel pressure test port plug and install the ICP
System Test Adapter (ZTSE4594) (1). Connect the Fuel Pressure Gauge (ZTSE4681) (2) to the ICP System Test Adapter.
Turn the Key Switch to the ON position and measure the fuel
pressure. The following pressure minimums should be met:
Cranking 20 psi
Idle 50 psi
High Idle/No load 50 psi
Full load @ rated speed 50 psi
If fuel pressure does not meet the minimum, verify there is
•
fuel in the tank and the pump is running. Then check for fuel
aeration, primary and secondary filter condition, pump inlet
restriction, pump deadhead pressure, and pressure regulator operation.
The engine will not operate correctly with aerated fuel. Aera-
•
tion can be checked visually using a clear hose and valve.
With the Key Switch in the ON position, open the valve
•
(3) to allow fuel to flow into a clean container. Observe the
fuel flow (4). Opening the system to install the hose will allow some air to enter the system. This air will be visible in
the fuel flow initially but should clear within a few seconds.
3
If the fuel continues to show signs of aeration, check the
•
suction side of the system for air leaks.
Measure Fuel Pump Discharge Pressure
Determine the ability of the fuel pump to develop pressure by
•
isolating the fuel pump from the engine-mounted regulator.
Remove the banjo bolt (5) on the pressure line at the
•
secondary fuel filter and insert the bolt through the back
of the fitting so that the bolt faces away from the engine. Install the Fuel Pressure Test Adapter (ZTSE4696)
(6) and tighten the bolt. Attach a 0-160 psi Fuel Pressure Gauge (ZTSE4681) (2) to the test adapter. The fuel
pump and its internal pressure regulator are now isolated from the engine-mounted fuel pressure regulator.
Turn the Key Switch to the ON position and measure the fuel
•
pressure while the pump is running. Pump discharge pressure should reach 80 psi. If the pressure is low, check for a
plugged primary filter and/or high pump inlet restriction.

2
Measure Fuel Inlet Restriction
High inlet restriction can starve the suction side
•
of the fuel pump and cause low fuel pressure.
With the Key Switch in the OFF position, remove the wa-
•
ter drain plug from the fuel pump. Install the Fuel Inlet
Restriction Adapter (ZTSE4698) in place of the plug.
Connect the 0-30 in/hg pressure gauge to the adapter with a shut off valve in the OFF position between
the pump and the Fuel Pressure Gauge (ZTSE4681).
Turn the Key Switch to the ON position. With the
•
fuel pump running, open the valve to the 0-30 in/
hg pressure gauge and record the restriction.
If inlet restriction causes a gauge reading of greater than
•
6 in/Hg, check the lines from the fuel tank to the pump for
restrictions.
The oil filter is a canister style filter located on top of the engine.
•
System Operation
Oil that is sprayed through the piston cooling jets is
•
used in order to reduce the piston crown temperatures.
Oil discharged from the oil pump enters the oil cooler cover.
•
If the oil is cold and thick the cooler bypass valve directs the
oil directly to the oil filter. After passing through the filter, oil
returns to the cooler cover assembly and is directed to the
crankcase passages where oil is directed to the crankshaft
main bearings, camshaft, lifters, piston cooling jets, and the
valve train components.
Oil Filter Bypass
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The filter bypass valve is located at
•
the top of the filter standpipe. The
top of the oil filter element has a
hole that matches the location of the
valve. Unfiltered oil surrounds the filter, including the top of the filter and
the bypass valve. The valve opens if
there is a pressure difference of 32
psi between the outside of the paper filter material, which is unfiltered
oil, and the inside of the filter paper.
Oil Filter
The VT 275 uses a cartridge style oil
•
filter located on top of the engine.

filter drain valve opens to allow oil to
drain from the filter housing, through
the adapter, and back to the oil pan. The
oil filter element snaps onto the lid. This
allows the filter element to be extracted without contact with the element.
Note: The oil filter lid should be re-
•
moved before draining the oil from the

•
the front cover and draws coolant from
the radiator via the coolant inlet on the
front cover. The water pump pushes
coolant through two ports on the front
cover to matching ports on the crankcase. Coolant flows through the crankcase and cylinder passages, then returns to the front cover. Coolant is
then directed to the thermostat where
coolant flows to either the bypass port
or the radiator, depending on the coolant temperature. Coolant leaving the
water pump is also directed to the oil
cooler where it travels between the
plates of the oil cooler and then to the
EGR cooler.
•
the water pump. Coolant is discharged
from the pump to the crankcase coolant jackets. Coolant is also routed
from the front cover through a crankcase passage to the oil cooler cover.
Return coolant from the crankcase
•
coolant jackets is directed to the thermostat by the front cover. If the thermostat is open, coolant flows to the
radiator to be cooled. If the thermostat
is closed, coolant is returned to the
water pump via a bypass circuit in the
front cover.
Service Intervals
The VT 275 is designed to
•
use Extended Life Coolants.
Extended life coolant can be identified
•
by its red/orange color in contrast to
conventional green or blue antifreeze.
The service interval is 5 years, 300,000
•
miles or 12,000 hours if the chemical extender is added at 30 months,
150,000 miles, or 6000 hours.

Purpose: Verify the engine has the correct oil level for injector operation.
Tools: None.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, death, or vehicle damage, refer to the Safety Information in the beginning of
this book before working on the vehicle.
NOTE: Never check the oil level when the engine is running or immediately after engine shutdown; the reading will
be inaccurate. Allow 15 minute drain down time, before checking oil level.
NOTE: If the oil level is too low, the fuel injectors will not work correctly. If the oil level is above the operating range,
the engine has been incorrectly serviced, fuel is in the oil, or coolant is in the oil.
1. Check Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level with the vehicle on parked on level ground after the engine has been off for at
1.
least 15 minute. Check for the following if the oil level is incorrect:
Low oil level.
•
Oil leak.
•
Oil consumption.
•
Incorrect servicing.
•
High oil level.
•
Fuel in oil.
•
Coolant in oil.
•
Incorrect oil level gauge.
•
2. Check Oil for Contamination
Check the oil for the thickening. Oil contaminated with long life coolant will cause thickening or
1.
coagulation.
Does oil have a diesel fuel odor?
2.
Check engine service records for correct oil grade and viscosity for ambient operating temperatures.
3.
See "Lubrication Requirements" in the Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual (for engineís model
4.
number and model year). Confirm that oil meets correct API category.
CAUTION: Do not use 15W-40 oil below -7 ºC (20 ºF). Long oil drain intervals can increase oil viscosity; thicker oil
will make engine cranking and starting more difficult below freezing temperatures.
