Engine Control System
The “Premium Tech Tool” (PTT) is the preferred tool for
performing diagnostic work. Contact your local dealer
for more information.
System Overview
Five electronic control modules are used; the Engine
Management System (EMS) Module, Instrument Cluster
Module (ICM), Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU),
Transmission Electronic Control Unit (TECU) and
the Gear Selector Electronic Control Unit (GSECU).
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 brakeoperation, the EGR valve, and the
turbocharger nozzle. The Vehicle Electronic Control Unit
(VECU) controls cruise control functions, accessory relay
controls and idle shutdown 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
normal 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, the vehicle operator will be advised
that a fault has occurred by illumination a malfunction
indicator lamp and a message in the driver information
display, if equipped. The module may initiate the engine
shutdown procedure if the system determines that the
fault could damage the engine.
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 display,if equipped. When diagnosing
an intermittent code or condition, it may be necessary
to use a diagnostic computer connected to the Serial
Communication Port.
Additional data and diagnostic tests are available
when a diagnostic computer is connected to the Serial
Communication Port.
For diagnostic software, contact your local dealer.
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:
Driver controls
•
Vehicle and engine speed controls
•
Starter control
•
Cab power
•
Idle controls
•
Broadcasting data on the serial data lines
•
Trip data logging
•
Diagnostic 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
and Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
The VECU also monitors the position or state of a number
of switches to perform its control and diagnostic functions.
They are:
A/C Pressure Switch
•
Air Suspension Height Control Switch
•
Differential Lock Switch
•
Engine Brake Switches
•
Ignition Key Switch
•
PTO Switches (if equipped)
•
Service and Park Brake Switches
•
Speed Control Switches (Set/Decel, Resume/Accel)
•

Group 28Design and Function
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:
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

Group 28Design and Function
Sensors
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
The Ambient Air TemperatureSensor 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
front of the vehicle.
D
Ambient (Atmospheric) Pressure Sensor
The Ambient (Atmospheric) 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 (Atmospheric) Pressure Sensor is built into
the Engine Management System (EMS) Module.
Camshaft 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 fan drive housing rotates past a magnet in 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.
3
Group 28Design and Function
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.
The Crankshaft Position (Engine Speed) Sensor also
indicates when the crankshaft is at the top dead center
position.
D
Differential Pressure DP 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 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 or right 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 driver will be notified of the low
coolant level.
The Engine Coolant Level (ECL) Sensor is located in the
cooling system reservoir tank.
4
Group 28Design and Function
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is located 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.
D
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 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.
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.
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 Sensors are located in the
DPF assembly.
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 housing.
5
Group 28Design and Function
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.
D
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 in the intake manifold.
Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor
The Intake Manifold 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 Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor is located on the air
inlet pipe before the intake manifold.
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 is located above the
accelerator pedal. 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 informs the EMS of the turbo
shaft speed. The sensor does not read from the vanes,
but reads from the shaft. The Engine Management
System (EMS) Module uses this signal in conjunction with
the VGT 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.

System Overview
The I-Shift transmission is a technologically advanced
automated mechanical transmission, designed
specifically to work in conjunction with Volvo’s new family
of heavy-duty diesel engines. In order to work as a total
package, the I-Shift is programmed with each engines’
efficiency map and is offered with different software
options to fulfill each operators needs.
All variants of the Volvo I-Shift have 12 forward speeds
and up to 4 reverse speeds depending on programming.
It is a single countershaft transmission built up with a
splitter section, a main section with three forward and one
reversegear, and a range gear section. It is an automated
mechanical transmission and uses synchronizers in its
splitter and range gears but not in the main section. The
main section utilizes a countershaft brake to mesh gears
and equalize shaft speeds as needed. A single disc
automated clutch system is utilized. The I-Shift is a "two
pedal" transmission and does not require a clutch pedal.
The I-Shift uses compressed air and electrical solenoids
to perform shift functions, clutch control and countershaft
brake functions. All of these functions are timed and
controlled by the Transmission Electronic Control Unit
(TECU). A dedicated air tank is needed on the vehicle to
supply air for these components. The air is plumbed to
the transmission via a supply line and is distributed to the
other components internally. The air control solenoids are
housed in the Transmission Control Housing and in the
Clutch Control Valve Assembly.
All Volvo Truck models will be available with this
transmission including the VT, VN Series & VHD
vocational trucks. Four I-Shift models will be offered
to support the power ranges of the engines as well as
offering different gear arrangements:

Main Shaft Speed Sensor(s)
The speed sensors are located on the control housing
and measure the speed of the main shaft and the speed
of the countershaft.
The main shaft speed sensor is a electronic sensor with a
hall element. Using a hall element makes it possible to
measure the rotation speed and rotation direction of the
shaft.
The countershaft speed sensor is an inductive sensor.
Knowing the speed of the countershaft makes it possible
to calculate the precise speed of every gear in the
transmission.
The speed sensor(s) are located in the transmission on
the lower portion of the control housing.

Lubrication System
The transmission is lubricated through a combination of
pressure from an oil pump and splashing. The oil is led
into the main shaft to lubricate and cool the range gears,
the input shaft and main shaft bearings. The countershaft
brake and output shaft bearings, are also lubricated. The
lubrication system has two overflow valves. One valve
ensures that the transmission is lubricated if the filter gets
blocked while the other prevents excessive pressure in
the system, e.g. during cold start. The valves are made
up of a compression spring and a valve peg.

System Overview
The gear selector is attached to the drivers seat and can
be folded away to aid in entering the cabin. There are two
available selector configurations, a basic and a premium.
The selector in the vehicle is dependant on which program
package level the vehicle is built with. Both selectors
have gear positions of R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive),
and M (Manual). With the selector in the drive position
the transmission will shift as an automatic, performing
gear selections and shifting without driver input. When in
the manual position, the driver either selects the gears
using the gear selector button (premium selector) or will
lock the gear that the transmission is presently operating
in and hold that gear until the selector is placed in the
drive position again (basic selector). With the basic
selector, if the manual position is engaged at a stop the
vehicle will start in first and hold that gear. The basic
selector isn’t equipped with a gear selector button or a
economy/performance dive mode button. In situations
where the I-Shift is unintentionally left in gear with the
parking brake applied, the TECU will automatically go to
neutral when the key switch is turned off. This is done
to avoid the transmission getting stuck in gear due to
drive line "torque up". There is a gear selector electronic
control unit (GSECU) that is located in the center of the
dash. The GSECU receives signals from the selector and
interprets these signals into communication information
that is transmitted to the TECU.
Selector Folding
The gear selector is capable of folding forward to aid in
cab entry and is also used to identify which software level
that is programmed in the Transmission Electronic Control
Unit (TECU). With the selector in the neutral position
