EECU electric circuit(Old)
Communication between the control units go via two data buses.
The two data buses have different functions. One is used for the control signals of system and is
designated SAE J1939.
The other databus, SAE J1708, is used for information and diagnostics. The link also functions as a back
up for the other databus if this for any reason does not function.
The Engine Management System (EMS) consists of a control unit (EECU) mounted to the engine, sensors
and a wiring harness. The EECU, Engine Electronic Control Unit, is connects to both the data bus SAE
J1939 and SAE J1708.
The unit receives signals from the Vehicle Control Unit, VECU.
It sends signals to control various functions on the engine and communicates with other control units via
the databuses.

Lubrication system schematic
This is a schematic description of the lubricating system.
When the engine starts the gear driven pump forces the lubricating oil in to the filter housing. At low oil
temperature, for example when cold starting in the winter the bypass valve for the oil cooler will open so
the oil will reach the engine faster. From the full flow filters the oil is distributed to the bypass filter and
the engine block gallery then to all the engine lubricating points.
The turbo charger is lubricated with oil directly from the bypass filter.
The air compressor is lubricated via an external hose from the filter housing.
Oil return from the cylinder head
There are three oil return holes drilled through the cylinder head and block.
Oil pressure reducing
The regulator valve regulates the engine oil pressure and excess oil is led back to the sump.
Piston cooling
The valve for piston cooling is pressure sensitive and opens just above the normal idling pressure. The oil
is led in to the lengthways channel in the block and sprayed via nozzle, one for each piston, onto the
inside of the piston.
By-pass filter Overflow
The overflow valve for the bypass filter opens if the filter becomes blocked to ensure turbo lubrication.
Full flow filter Overflow
The overflow valve for the full flow filter opens if the filter becomes blocked to ensure engine
lubrication. Oil cooler bypass
When the engine starts and the oil temperature is low (low viscosity), the oil cooling bypass valve opens.
This is to lubricate the engine faster during cold start. When the oil temperature is stabilized (viscosity)
the valve closes and the oil passes through the oil cooler.
Fuel system principle
The fuel flow and valve function is schematically described. Light red means suction and dark red means
feed pressure.
The fuel is sucked up by the feeder pump (1) through the strainer (7) in the tank fitting, past the nonreturn valve (6).The non-return valve opens and the fuel flows to the control unit and goes through the
cooling loop (5) ( if the control unit (4) has cooling ) up to the overflow valve (8) and from there, together
with the return fuel which passes through the overflow valve to the feeder pump suction side.
The feeder pump (1) forces the fuel to the filter housing, past both of the non-return valves (10) for the
hand pump (2) and at the same time valve (12) opens for the return fuel to the tank. If there is some air
in the system it will automatically be bleeded.
After through the filter (3), to the cylinder head lengthways channel to feed the injectors (9).
The overflow valve (8) maintains a constant pressure for the fuel feed to the injectors (9) and opens at the
pressure of 3,5 to 4,5 bar.
The pressure regulating valve (11) in the pump opens to reduce the pressure in the pump for example
during engine braking when the fuel injection is cut off.
Picture text:
Unit injector
The unit injector
The unit injector is driven by the engine camshaft via a rocker arm. Simply put, a unit injector is a
combination of an injection pump and a conventional injector and it consists of three main sections:
the pump section(1)
the valve section with the solenoid(2)
the injection section(3)
The pump piston pumps a constant quantity of fuel back and forth through the injector and there is no
injection as long as the injector solenoid keeps the valve open.
1. Filling phase
This occurs the entire time that the pump piston is on the way up. The fuel valve is open since there is no
voltage applied to the solenoid valve. Fuel can therefore be sucked from the feeder channel, past the
open valve and into the pump cylinder.
2. Spilling phase
The pump piston is on the way down. As long as there is no voltage to the solenoid valve, the fuel valve is
open and the fuel flows back in return to the feeder channel.
3. Injection phase
The pump piston is still on the way down. Now the solenoid valve has received voltage from the control
unit. The valve cone is lifted and the valve closes. Since fuel cannot pass through the valve, a pressure is
quickly built up which lifts the nozzle needle and injection occurs.
Injection continues as long as the valve is closed and the pump piston is on the way down.
The injection timing and fuel quantity is determined by the length of the electrical pulse. It is the control
unit which determines the pulse size via the information it receives from the control system.
4. Pressure reducing phase
The pump piston is still on the way down. The control unit ends the electrical pulse when the engine has
received the amount of fuel needed at that instant. The fuel valve opens and the fuel can once again flow
past in return to the feed channel. The pressure then drops quickly and the nozzle needle closes.

Fuel system
The fuel is drawn with help of the fuel feed pump (1) through the tank unit (2), via fuel pre- filter (4) and
water separator (5) into the fuel filter housing (3).
The fuel is then routed through the engine ECUs cooling loop (6) to the overflow valve (7), where the
fuel from the tank is mixed with the fuel returned from the fuel channel (8) in the cylinder head, and then
forward to the suction side of the fuel feed pump (1). The fuel feed pump (1) press fuel to the fuel filter
housing (3), through the main filter (9) to the cylinder head fuel channel (8). This channel provides every
unit injector (10) with fuel via a ring formed passage around every unit injector in the cylinder head. The
overflow valve (7) regulates the fuel feed pressure to the unit injectors.
Fuel feed pump valves
The fuel feed pump has two valves: Safety valve (11), which allows fuel to flow back to suction side when
the fuel pressure become too high e.g. when the fuel filter is clogged. Check valve (12) opens when the
hand pump in the filter housing (13) is used.
Automatic deaeration
If air has entered the system, automatic deaeration occurs when the engine is started. The air is pushed
through the deaeration valve (14) down to the tank via the fuel return hose (15) from cylinder head.
Deaeration of fuel filters when changing filters is controlled by the valves (19), (25) and (14) in the filter
housing.
Manual hand pump
The manual hand pump (13) in the filter housing is used to pump fuel (non-running engine), when the fuel
system is empty. The check valve (24) for the hand pump is placed within the fuel filter housing.
Manual water drain
WIF (water in fuel) sensor (16) will via the ECU give an indication on the instrument panel. This indicates
that it is necessary to manually drain the water-separator (5) using the drain valve (18).
Miscellaneous
(20) Fuel pressure measuring point used for fault localization
(21) Pressure indicator
(22) Optional bowl heater

NOx reduction solution is provided by Internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (IEGR) which is altering engine
valve lift.

Delphi E3 function(Tier-3)
1. Neither the spill valve (SV) nor the needle control valve (NCV) solenoid is electrically activated. The
return spring is forcing the SV to its upper position and the NCV to its lower position. In this position the
SV is open and the fuel are routed from the pump chamber back into the low pressure fuel feed line and
no internal pressure build-up occurs in the high pressure fuel line. In this position the NCV is closed
connecting the needle backing chamber with the high pressure fuel line, but as the SV is open there is no
pressure build behind the needle.
2. The SV solenoid is electrically activated and the SV is pulled downwards closing the connection to the
low pressure feed line. In this position the SV is closed and all fuel is forced from the pump chamber via
the high pressure fuel line. The fuel pressure increases acting on the injection needle lift area. The NCV is
still not activated (still closed) connecting the needle backing chamber with the high pressure fuel line,
why the needle can not be lifted.
3. The SV is still closed and the fuel pressure is still increasing. When the desired pressure is achieved, the
NCV is activated (opened), closing the high-pressure line connection to the backing chamber of the needle
and at the same time connecting the chamber to the low pressure line. The pressure on the lift side, now
higher than required to overcome the closing force from the needle closing spring, opens the needle and
injection occurs until the NCV is closed or until the SV is opened.
In this way the needle opening pressure can be varied between the preset NOP of the spring and the
maximum pumping pressure. Practically the levels used are between 250 to 1800 bars, to be compared
with a common nozzle, using 250 to 350 bar opening pressure.

A. The spill valve is electrically activated and closes; fuel is forced from the pump chamber via the high
pressure fuel line acting on the injection needle lift area.
B. The fuel pressure increases and reaches the pressure required to overcome the closing force from the
needle closing spring, but as the NCV is still open the needle can not lift.
C. The fuel pressure reaches the desired needle opening pressure.
D. The NCV is electrically activated and opens; the fuel pressure in the needle backing chamber is
evacuated allowing the needle to lift.
E. The injection needle is lifted.
F. The fuel amount required is now injected and the NCV is deactivated, closed. The needle backing
chamber is now again connected to the high pressure fuel line and the needle is forced to close.
G. The needle closes and injection ends.
H. As the SV is still closed the pressure continues to increase as long as the pump piston is moving
downwards.
I. The spill valve is deactivated, opened. The fuel is routed into the low pressure feed line.
J. The fuel pressure is evacuated to the low pressure feed line via the open SV.

Engine start and stop circuit
If battery disconnection switch is off position, we cannot use the whole of electric system.
When master switch (Battery disconnection switch) is ON, we can use Room lamp, diesel heater, fuel filler
pump, DC-DC converter, Auto greasing system without the key.
When the start switch is ON position,
BR signal turn on the battery relay. From now, we can supply the power to the whole of electric system.
ACC signal send ON signal to VECU, air-conditioner and energize EMS power relay. And Power supplied to
instrument panel pass through the charge- warning lamp and goes to alternator terminal D and
magnetizes the field coil.
When the start switch is START position,
R2 signal goes to V-ECU to inform the key position and C signal activate safety start relay so power from
battery can drive the starter. From this, alternator can produce electric power. W signal from alternator
indicates engine status to the instrument panel IC.
Start inter-Lock function
If safety start relay has some level of signal from alternator or safety lever, it cannot have ground
connection to activate this relay.
There are two diodes that are related with battery relay.
One is used for time delay function of VECU during the stop condition.
The other is used to protect electric system from electrical surge.

Mounted on the battery cover.
If battery disconnect switch is turned to the ON position, the automatic greasing (option), fuel filler pump
and room lamp are available even when the start switch is in the OFF position.

Battery relay & Safety start relay
1. Battery relay
This is main relay for electric system.
The relay turns the battery current ON or OFF, according to low power signals received from the start
switch. Use of the relay permits the start switch to control the power of the batteries with a small capacity
wire.
When you replace this component, pay attention to the +/- signs on the relay.
Wrong connection can cause early failure of relay.
2. Safety start relay
When trying to restart the engine while the engine is running, or if the start switch is in the START position
after the engine is activated, the relay cuts off the current to the starter motor to protect it.
Picture text:
Alternator
The alternator generates current to activate all the electrical systems, and the extra current charges the
battery.
The current from D+ flows to the safety start relay to cut off the operation of starter motor and prevent
accidentally re-engaging the starter.
After the engine starting, the battery charge warning lamp is turned off because the signal from "D+"
remove voltage difference at lamp.

Power shift valve
The valve regulates the secondary servo hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic pump regulators to control the
swash plate angle and allowable pump output.
The secondary servo hydraulic pressure varies in proportion to the current value at the proportional
solenoid valve.
The proportional solenoid valve spool vibrates continuously to maintain the secondary servo hydraulic
pressure, and is very sensitive to contamination due to the close tolerances of the spool/valve body. In the
event of a malfunction, always inspect the valve for contamination before replacing it.

V-ECU
There are two connectors for VECU.
JA connector has 70 pins and JB has 16 pins.
When you replace the VECU, you have to check the part number of VECU because you need to run the
conversion kit of VCADS Pro if failed VECU is old one.

Engine speed and work mode control
In control system, we can have 10-step engine speed and 5 work-modes.
By rotating engine speed control switch, Engine rpm and work-mode is set at the same time. You can see
the specification at the next page.
This function allows the operator to select the engine speed and work mode according to working condition
and to optimise the machine performance and fuel efficiency.
Principle is simple. Excavator converts the mechanical power from engine to hydraulic power using
hydraulic pump. So engine power should be bigger than pump consuming power. If not, engine could be
stall or stop.
The V-ECU always receives the current engine speed from the E-ECU . It balances engine horsepower and
pump consuming power by changing output current to power-shift valve. Power-shift valve is kind of
proportional valve using PWM signal. By controlling power-shift valve, we can change the swash plate
angle and finally change pump flow rate. So system can keep pump torque maintain lower than engine
torque at the selected engine speed.
(1) In I (Idle)& F (Fine) mode, current is fixed at specified value regardless of engine load condition. That
means engine output is bigger enough compared to pump input power.
In P (Power max.), H (Heavy duty), G (General) mode,
(2) If engine is not loaded, it uses the specified current value at each engine speed.
(3) When engine is loaded, VECU increase the current of power-shift valve to decrease the consuming
power of pump.

Engine and pump control specification
USA market do not have P mode.

F-mode operation
F-mode is used for lifting heavy material or finishing touch.
Machine needs slow speed and large lifting force to satisfy these conditions.
When control switch is in F mode,
- VECU turns off power to travel speed solenoid. That means travel speed is fixed to low speed regardless
of travel speed select switch position.
- VECU energize power boost solenoid to increase main relief set pressure by 10%.
- VECU turns on power to boom-arm conflux cut-off solenoid. Then boom & arm use only 1 pump flow for
slow speed.
Picture text:
Emergency control
This function is for emergency operation when malfunction of data bus or V-ECU has occurred.
1. When there is communication error, E-ECU realizes this condition and automatically goes to the
emergency mode. If emergency switch is in neutral position, engine speed will be emergency low speed
and maximum current will be supplied to power-shift valve from V-ECU.
2. When there is communication error, E-ECU realizes this condition and automatically goes to the
emergency mode. If emergency switch is up position, engine speed will be emergency high speed and
power-shift valve current is set to the value that corresponds to 85% of the maximum pump input torque
from V-ECU.
3. When malfunction of V-ECU, Emergency switch control the engine speed and Auto-Manual switch decide
power shift current with resistor box. Machine can use 85% of the maximum pump input torque.
4. Emergency switch have emergency stop function when engine is still running after turning off the keyswitch.
** Emergency low-high speed can be adjusted by VCADS Pro.
Picture text:
Auto-return to idle
Without any movement of machine, engine speed automatically goes down to I1 mode. This increase fuel
economy and decrease noise. After engine has decelerated, if the operator changes one of input signals,
then engine speed return to the previous speed.
Default time delay is 5 second. This can be adjusted form 3 to 10 seconds by VCADS Pro.
Picture text:
Power boost operation
1. In travel-only mode, we have power boost function to increase travel performance(EC330B/EC360B
only).
**Power boost is not needed for travel-only mode in EC460B.
2. In F-mode, machine has power boost function.
3. When selection switch is boost or shear position, by pushing RH joystick button we can use power boost
function for 9 seconds. We call this one touch power boost. This is useful function when machine confront
the heavy-load.

Hydraulic oil cooler fan control
Hydraulic oil cooler use independent pump and motor for fan driving.
Fan speed has two steps (low and high) according to the temperature of hydraulic oil. If temperature goes
up to 70 degree, V-ECU turns on solenoid then fan motor speed become high. If temperature goes down
to 50 degree, V-ECU turns off solenoid then fan motor speed become low.
Picture text:
Automatic travel speed control
(1)When machine stands still, machine needs more brake torque during digging to prevent machine
drifting toward because of reaction force from bucket. V-ECU realize the stop condition from travel pilot
pressure switch, then V-ECU cut off the power to the travel speed solenoid regardless of the position of
travel speed selection switch.
(2)High speed
(3)F-mode control
Picture text:
Safe start and stop control
The optimal condition of engine start and stop is automatically set by this function. The engine can be
protected from damages that may occur at engine start and stop condition.
1. During starting engine, Engine rpm is fixed to low idle (I2) regardless of engine rpm control switch
position to protect engine from sudden rpm increase in cold period or other situation.
2. During starting, if safety lever is up, this signal disengage starter to prevent from sudden movement of
hydraulic function.
3. After starting, any attachment operation or speed control switch operation makes engine return to the
speed set by rpm control switch.
4. When start switch is turned off,
- Start switch signal is transferred to E-ECU.
- Important data are saved to ECUs.
- EMS power cut off relay is off.
- V-ECU cut-off power to battery relay.
- Whole system power will be off.
Picture text:
Pump flow control
At job site, customer uses various kind of optional attachment like hammer, shear etc. Every attachment
has their unique operating specification especially in flow. Our machine can satisfy this request by using
flow control switch and flow control proportional valve.
1. When operator adjust flow control switch, display automatically shows the flow value at the present
engine rpm.
2. When operator uses the option attachment, the pilot pressure switch will be activated. V-ECU receives
this signal and then start to controls the flow control valve according to flow control switch position. If the
pilot switch is off position, there is no output current from V-ECU. That means flow control function is
engaged only during the working of optional attachment.

Instrument panel
The instrument panel shows the information received from the sensors and switches of the machine to
alert the operator of any abnormality.
The instrument is adjustable for operator viewing angle and is illuminated for night work.
All light bulbs should be checked daily and replaced if burnt-out because the indicators alert the operator
of a failure in the machine.
The panel contains a coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, hour meter and alert indicators to show
machine conditions.
The instrument panel utilizes a plug-in printed circuit board (PCB) to facilitate replacement and
troubleshooting. If a failure is suspected always check the plug-in connection.
This is common parts with wheel excavator.
Picture text:
Instrument panel operation
1. Lamp and buzzer check procedure
Before starting the engine, if you turn the start switch to the ON position all lamps are turned ON for 3
seconds. At the same time the buzzer is operated 2 times with the cycle of 1.0 second ON and 1.0 second
OFF.
Check if all indicator lights come on, and if not, check for burnt-out light bulbs, and the plugin
connectors (connector A, B) of the printed circuit board.
2. Central warning and buzzer sound
W signal indicates engine status whether engine is running or not.
IC in the instrument panel receives warning signal and this W signal and then decides that this situation is
warning case or not.
For example, when we turn the key switch from OFF to ON, we can see only charge warning lamp and
engine oil low pressure without central warning and buzzer sound because there is no signal from
alternator W terminal.
3. Quick fit release operation
4. Quick fit re-engage operation
