DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
V-MAC IV SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The V-MAC IV System uses three electronic
control modules; the Engine Management
System (EMS) Module, Instrument Cluster
Module (ICM) and the Vehicle Electronic Control
Unit (VECU). Together, these modules operate
and communicate through the J1939 high speed
serial data line to control a variety of engine and
vehicle cab functions. The Engine Management
System (EMS) Module controls fuel timing and
delivery, fan operation, engine protection
functions, engine brake operation, the EGR valve,
and the turbocharger nozzle. The Vehicle
Electronic Control Unit (VECU) controls engine
speed, cruise control functions, accessory relay
controls and idle shutdown functions. The Vehicle
Electronic Control Unit also performs the trip
recorder functions. The Instrument Cluster
Module (ICM) primarily displays operational
parameters and communicates these to the other
ECU's. All have the capability to communicate
over the J1587 low speed data lines primarily for
programming, diagnostics and data reporting.
In addition to their control functions, the modules
have on-board diagnostic capabilities. The
on-board diagnostics are designed to detect
faults or abnormal conditions that are not within
normal operating parameters. When the system
detects a fault or abnormal condition, the fault will
be logged in one or both of the modules' memory,
and the vehicle operator will be advised that a
fault has occurred by illumination of the Electronic
Malfunction Lamp (EML). The module will also
initiate the engine shutdown procedure if the
system determines that the fault will severely
damage the engine.
Additional data and diagnostic tests are available
when a diagnostic computer is connected to the
Serial Communication Port.
The Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) is
mounted on a panel below the top dash access
panel in the center of the dash on conventional
models. The VECU is a microprocessor based
controller programmed to perform several
functions, these include:
앫Driver Controls
앫Vehicle and engine speed controls
앫Starter control
앫Cap Power
앫Idle controls
앫Broadcasting data on the serial data lines
앫Trip data logging
앫Diagnostic fault logging and password
processing
The VECU performs these functions by
monitoring the signals from sensors and
switches, and data received over the serial data
lines from the other ECU's. The VECU directly
monitors the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Vehicle Speed (MPH) Sensor (VSS).
The VECU also monitors the position or state of a
number of switches to perform its control and
diagnostic functions. They are:
앫A/C Pressure Switch
앫Air Suspension Height Control Switch
앫Clutch Switch
In some situations when a fault is detected, the
system will enter the "limp home" mode. The limp
home mode allows continued vehicle operation
but the system may substitute a sensor or signal
value that may result in poor performance. In
some instances, the system will continue to
function but engine power may be limited to
protect the engine and vehicle. Fault codes
logged in the system memory can later be read,
to aid in diagnosing the faults, with a diagnostic
computer or through the instrument cluster. When
diagnosing an intermittent code or condition, it is
necessary to use a diagnostic computer
connected to the Serial Communication Port.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Engine Management System (EMS) Module
is bolted to a fuel cooled mounting plate which is
on the left side of the engine on the air intake
manifold. The EMS is a microprocessor based
controller programmed to perform fuel injection
quantity and timing control, diagnostic fault
logging, and to broadcast data to other modules.
The fuel quantity and injection timing to each
cylinder is precisely controlled to obtain optimal
fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions in
all driving situations.
The EMS controls the operation of the Electronic
Unit Injectors (EUIs), engine brake solenoid, EGR
valve, turbocharger nozzle position, and cooling
fan clutch based on input information it receives
over the serial data lines and from the following
sensors:
앫Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
앫Ambient (Barometric) Pressure Sensor
앫Boost Air Pressure (BAP) Sensor
앫Camshaft Position (Engine Position) Sensor
앫Cooling Fan Speed (CFS) Sensor
The Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) and
Engine Management System (EMS) Module are
dependent on each other to perform their specific
control functions. In addition to switch and sensor
data the broadcast of data between modules also
includes various calculations and conclusions
each module has developed, based on the input
information it has received.
Sensors
AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The Ambient Air Temperature Sensor is used to
detect the outside air temperature. The sensor
modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The
modified signal returns to the ECM as the
ambient air temperature. The sensor uses a
thermistor that is sensitive to the change in
temperature. The electrical resistance of the
thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
The Ambient Air Temperature Sensor is located
in the left front of the vehicle.

AMBIENT (BAROMETRIC) PRESSURE
SENSOR
The Ambient (Barometric) Pressure Sensor
contains a pressure sensitive diaphragm and an
electrical amplifier. Mechanical pressure applied
to the diaphragm causes the diaphragm to deflect
and the amplifier to produce an electrical signal
proportional to the deflection.
The Ambient (Barometric) Pressure Sensor is
built into the Engine Management System (EMS)
Module.
BOOST AIR PRESSURE (BAP) SENSOR
The Boost Air Pressure Sensor contains a
pressure sensitive diaphragm and an electrical
amplifier. Mechanical pressure applied to the
diaphragm causes the diaphragm to deflect and
the amplifier to produce an electrical signal
proportional to the deflection.
The Boost Air Pressure Sensor is threaded into
the top and to the rear of the intake manifold on
the left side of the engine.
Page 7
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CAMSHAFT POSITION (ENGINE POSITION)
SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (Engine Position) Sensor
is located in the rear face of the timing gear cover
at the rear of the engine, near the bottom of the
valve cover. It uses magnetic induction to
generate a pulsed electrical signal. It senses the
passage of seven (7) timing bumps on the edge
of the camshaft dampener. Six of the holes
correspond to the phasing of the electronic unit
injectors, while the seventh hole indicates the top
dead center position.
COOLING FAN SPEED (CFS) SENSOR
On engines with an electronically controlled
viscous fan drive, the electronic fan drive contains
a Hall effect speed sensor. When the engine is
running, a series of vanes in the the fan drive
housing rotates past a magnet in the the fan drive
solenoid generating a pulsed voltage signal. The
Engine Management System (EMS) Module
monitors the status if the air conditioning system
and signals from the Engine Coolant Temperature
(ECT) Sensor, the Engine Oil Temperature (EOT)
Sensor, and the Engine Speed/Timing
(RPM/TDC) Sensor and calculates the optimal
cooling fan speed.
The Cooling Fan Speed Sensor is located in the
fan drive on the front of the engine.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (ENGINE SPEED)
SENSOR
The Crankshaft Position (Engine Speed) Sensor
uses magnetic induction to generate a pulsed
electrical signal. Notches are machined into the
edge of the flywheel. When one of the notches
passes close to the sensor, electric pulses result.
two ports. Measurement of the pressure before
and after the DPF is used to calculate diesel filter
regeneration.
The Differential Pressure DPF Sensor is located
on the side of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
EGR DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR
The EGR differential pressure sensor is used for
flow measurement of the Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) valve. This sensor has two
pressure ports and senses the difference in
pressure between the two ports. Measurement of
the pressure before and after the EGR valve is
used to calculate EGR flow.
The EGR Differential Pressure Sensor is located
on the left side of the engine.
EGR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The EGR temperature sensor detects exhaust
gas temperature for EGR system. The sensor
modifies a voltage signal from the control unit.
The modified signal returns to the control unit as
the exhaust temperature of the EGR system to
confirm EGR operation. The sensor uses a
thermistor that is sensitive to the change in
temperature.
The EGR Temperature Sensor is located near the
EGR valve.
ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL (ECL) SENSOR
The Engine Coolant Level (ECL) Sensor is a
switch. If engine coolant level falls below a
calibrated point the contacts open and the the
driver will be notified of the low coolant level.
The Crankshaft Position (Engine Speed) Sensor
also indicates when the crankshaft is at the top
dead center position. The sensor recognizes the
end of one of the group of 18 notches and aligns
that to the top dead center mark on the Engine
Position (EP) Sensor.
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE DPF SENSOR
The differential pressure sensor is used for flow
measurement of the Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF). This sensor has two pressure ports and
senses the difference in pressure between the
Page 8
The Engine Coolant Level (ECL) Sensor is
located in the upper radiator tank or in the cooling
system overflow tank.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT)
SENSOR
The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is
located in the thermostat body at the front of the
engine. The sensor will indicate a high coolant
temperature caused by problems like radiator
blockage, thermostat failure, heavy load, or high
ambient temperatures. This sensor is also used
for cold start enhancement and for fan clutch
engagement.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (EOP) SENSOR
The Engine Oil Pressure Sensor contains a
pressure sensitive diaphragm and a electrical
amplifier. Mechanical pressure applied to the
diaphragm causes the diaphragm to deflect and
the amplifier to produce an electrical signal
proportional to the deflection.
The Engine Oil Pressure Sensor is located on top
of the oil filter assembly. The sensor monitors
engine oil pressure to warn of lubrication system
failure.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL (EOL) SENSOR
The Engine Oil Level Sensor is located in the oil
pan. As the level varies the current required to
maintain a heat dissipation rate varies.
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR
The Engine Oil Temperature Sensor is a
thermistor whose resistance varies inversely to
temperature. The sensor has a negative
temperature coefficient, which means the sensor
resistance will decrease as the engine oil
temperature increases.
The Engine Oil Temperature Sensor is located in
the oil pan.
FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR
The fuel pressure sensor contains a diaphragm
that senses fuel pressure. A pressure change
causes the diaphragm to flex, inducing a stress or
strain in the diaphragm. The resistor values in the
sensor change in proportion to the stress applied
to the diaphragm and produces an electrical
output.
The Fuel Pressure Sensor is located on top of the
fuel filter adapter.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
(IATH) SENSOR
The Intake Air Temperature and Humidity (IATH)
Sensor contains a thermistor and a capacitive
sensor. The resistance of the thermistor varies
inversely to temperature. The output of the
capacitive sensor increases as the humidity of
the surrounding air increases. By monitoring the
signals from both portions of the sensor, the
Engine Management System (EMS) Module
calculates the temperature and humidity of the air
passing through the air filter housing.
The Intake Air Temperature and Humidity (IATH)
Sensor is located in the air intake tube just
downstream from the air filter canister.
EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSOR (DPF
SENSORS)
The exhaust gas temperature sensor detects
exhaust gas temperature for DPF protection as
well as DPF regeneration control. The sensor
modifies a voltage signal from the control unit.
The modified signal returns to the control unit as
the exhaust temperature at that specific location
of the exhaust. The sensor uses a thermistor that
is sensitive to the change in temperature.
The Exhaust Temperature Sensor is located in
the exhaust pipe, just downstream from the
turbocharger.
INTAKE MANIFOLD (BOOST) TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The Intake Manifold (Boost) Temperature Sensor
is a thermistor whose resistance varies inversely
to temperature. The sensor has a negative
temperature coefficient, which means the sensor
resistance will decrease as the inlet air
temperature increases.
The Intake Manifold (Boost) Temperature Sensor
is located on the intake manifold. The sensor
signal is used to control engine timing to prevent
the formation of white smoke during engine
warm-up. Intake air temperature information is
also used to prevent misfire under light load
conditions.
Page 9
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR
The Throttle Position Sensor is a potentiometer
that is mechanically linked to the accelerator
pedal. A potentiometer is a variable resistor
whose resistance will change as the pedal is
pressed. As the resistance changes, the signal
voltage of the sensor changes indicating the
accelerator pedal position.
The Throttle Position Sensor replaces the
mechanical linkage for fuel control. The sensor is
located under the accelerator pedal. The “drive by
wire” pedal is designed to provide a system that
“feels” similar to the standard type of accelerator
pedal and mechanical linkage. The sensor is
designed to improve the driver's control by
reducing sensitivity to chassis motion. This
sensor provides the driver's fuel request input to
the VECU.
TURBO SPEED SENSOR
The Turbo Speed Sensor uses magnetic
induction to generate a pulsed voltage signal.
When the turbocharger vanes pass close to the
sensor, a pulsed voltage signal is generated. The
Engine Management System (EMS) Module uses
this signal in conjunction with the VTG position
sensor signal to control the speed of the
turbocharger and therefore optimize the intake
manifold pressure.
The Turbo Speed Sensor is mounted in the center
of the turbocharger.
The Variable Geometry Turbocharger Smart
Remote Actuator (VGT SRA) takes the position
commands from the EMS, moves the nozzle of
the turbocharger to the desired position, and
performs all of the diagnostics and self checks on
the actuator.

Circuit Description: The Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) Sensor is a thermistor. The
resistance of the ECT Sensor changes inversely
to the temperature of the engine coolant. When
the coolant is cold, the sensor resistance is high.
As the temperature of the coolant increases, the
sensor resistance decreases. The Engine

voltage drop across the ECT Sensor. The coolant
temperature signal is used to calculate fuel
injection and to evaluate operating conditions of
the engine coolant temperature. Examples of
conditions that may cause high coolant
temperature are: thermostat failure, fan failure,
heavy load, high ambient temperatures and
radiator blockage.

Temperature (ECT) Sensor is a thermistor. The
resistance of the ECT Sensor changes inversely
to the temperature of the engine coolant. When
the coolant is cold, the sensor resistance is high.
As the temperature of the coolant increases, the
sensor resistance decreases. The Engine
Management System (EMS) Module monitors the
voltage drop across the ECT Sensor. The coolant
temperature signal is used to calculate fuel
injection and to evaluate operating conditions of
the engine coolant temperature. Examples of
conditions that may cause high coolant
temperature are: thermostat failure, fan failure,
heavy load, high ambient temperatures and
radiator blockage.

Circuit Description: The Crank Speed Sensor is
an inductive sensor that will generate a variable
voltage signal when the sensor's magnetic field is
excited. The Crank Speed Sensor is installed
near the flywheel. When the engine is running the
flywheel's teeth rotate past the sensor's tip and
voltage pulses are generated. The Engine
Management System (EMS Module) monitors the
frequency of the signal generated by the Crank
Speed Sensor and calculates the engine RPM.
The air gap between the sensor tip and the
flywheel teeth can influence the sensor's output
signal and should be checked if SID 22 is set or is
setting intermittently.

Parameter Identification (PID): S33
Message Identification (MID): 128
Circuit Description (On/Off Fan): The Fan
Clutch Solenoid controls the operation of the
cooling fan by using a solenoid. The Fan Clutch
Solenoid is supplied battery voltage and is
grounded by the Engine Management System
(EMS) Module. When the EMS System Module
determines fan operation is needed, based on
coolant temperature, intake air temperature or
A/C load, the EMS Module will de-energize the
Fan Clutch Solenoid allowing the fan clutch to
engage.
Circuit Description (Electronic Viscous Fan):
The Electronic Fan Drive contains a solenoid that
controls the flow of fluid between reservoirs in the
fan drive housing and cover. The EMS Module
provides power to the solenoid and controls
solenoid operation to optimize fan speed, based
on coolant temperature, intake air temperature
and A/C load.
Location: The On/Off Fan Clutch Solenoid is
located on the lower left side of the radiator
shroud. The Electronic Fan Drive is bolted to the
drive pulley on the front of the engine.
Additional Symptoms: Higher than normal
coolant temperatures, poor air conditioning
performance or lower than normal coolant
temperatures may be experienced.
If a customer complains that the fan clutch does
not disengage and code SID 33 has not been
logged in the EMS Module, the problem may be
due to a mechanical failure in the chassis air
system.
The fan can engage without warning. Hands,
arms and personal items can easily be
entangled in the belts or fan blades. Keep
arms, hair, clothing, jewelry, etc. clear from
the fan and belts when the engine is running.
