A data link (CAN bus) links the nodes to each other.
CAN (“Controller Area Network”) is an industrial
standard for distributed systems.
The CAN bus consists of a pair of copper conductors
which are twisted 30 times per meter. The nodes
communicate via the CAN bus and they form a network
together, which exchanges information and benefits
from each other’s services.
The CAN bus is a serial bus and is the primary control
bus.

Fault tracing of cables and

connectors
Tools:
88890074 Multimeter
Measuring the engine cables

Two types of measurement are done on the engine
cable harness, both resistance measurement and
voltage measurement.
The measurements are done to ensure that no open

circuits or short circuits occur.
If there is an open circuit, the resistance is infinite, and

if there is a short circuit, it is close to zero. The
resistance values given in the workshop manual are
approximate, and should be regarded as guidelines.
NOTICE! The engine must be shut off and the current

disconnected with the main switch, to ensure that the
measured values are correct during resistance
measurement.
All resistance measurements are done at +20°C (+68

°F) and with a cold engine.
Check all connectors visually

Check the following:
Look for oxidation which can impair contact in
connectors.
Check that terminals are undamaged, that they are

correctly inserted into their connectors, and that the
cable is correctly terminated in the terminal.
If possible, shake the cables and pull the connectors

during measurement to discover whether the cable
harness is damaged.
Check that the cables are not damaged. Avoid

clamping cables in tight bends close to the connector.
Contact problems
Intermittent contact or temporary recurring faults can
be difficult to fault trace, and are frequently caused by
oxidation, vibration or poorly terminated cables.
Wear can also cause faults. For this reason, avoid

disconnecting a connector unless it is necessary.
Other contact problems can be caused by damage to

pins, sockets and connectors etc.
Shake cables and pull connectors during

measurement, to find where the cable is damaged.
Contact resistance and oxidation

Resistance in connectors, cables and junctions should
be 0 Ω. A certain amount of resistance will occur,
however, because of oxidation in connectors.
18 47704208 01-2019 © AB VOLVO PENTA

30-0 General
If this resistance is too great, malfunctions occur. The

amount of resistance that can be tolerated before
malfunctions occur varies, depending on the load in the
circuit.
Open circuit
Possible reasons for faults could be chafed or broken
cables, or connectors which have come undone.
Use the wiring schedule to check the cables which are

relevant to the function. Start off with the most probable
cable in the circuit.

• Disconnect the relevant connector at each end of
the cable harness.
• Use multimeter 9812519 to measure the resistance
between the ends of the cable. Nominal value ~ 0
Ω.
• If possible, shake the cables and pull the connectors
during measurement to discover whether the cable
harness is damaged. Look out for pushbacks in the
connector.
• Check the next cable system in the wiring schedule
if no fault has been found.
Short circuit
Possible reasons for faults could be short circuit
between cables.
Use the wiring schedule to check the cables which are

relevant to the function. Start off with the most probable
cable in the circuit.

• Disconnect the relevant connector at each end of
the cable harness.
• Use multimeter 9812519 to measure the resistance
between all ends of the cable. Nominal value ~

Manual fault tracing in bus cables

Tools:
88890074 Multimeter
IMPORTANT!
Cut the current with the main switch before the cables
are disconnected.
Use the multimeter to check the bus cables. The

conductors in the bus cables should not be in contact
with each other.
Disconnect a bus cable at each end and measure the
resistance between the pins to check this. The
multimeter should show infinite resistance between
each pin. If the resistance is less than infinite, there is
a fault.
It can be difficult to check whether there is a cable fault
in the bus cable when it is installed in the boat. For this
reason, always keep checked bus extension cables in
the fault-tracing equipment.
Connect the extension cable to one end of the boat’s
bus cable and run it back to the other end of the bus
cable, to allow each conductor to be checked
individually. After this, all the pins can be checked.
If the CAN bus cables between the engine ECU and
the PCU need to be checked, the resistance can also
be checked when the cables are connected to the
other end.
1 Disconnect the PCU.

2 Measure the resistance between pin XX (yellow/
white conductor and pin XX (grey/ yellow
conductor) against the engine ECU.
Measurement points Nominal value
CAN H – CAN L R ≈ 120 Ω

Design and Function

Component description
Air inlet pressure / Intake manifold

temperature sensor
The air inlet pressure and the intake manifold
temperature are measured by a combined sensor
located in the inlet manifold on the left side of the
engine.
The sensor is supplied by a 5 V reference voltage from
the engine ECU.
The air inlet pressure sensor measures the absolute

pressure, which is the sum of the air inlet pressure and
atmospheric pressure (300 kPa (43.5 psi) thus
corresponds to an air inlet pressure of 200 kPa (29.0
psi) when atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa (14.5 psi)).
P0017489 The pressure signal is a voltage signal which is
proportional to the absolute pressure.
The intake manifold temperature sensor consists of a

nonlinear resistor, whose resistance varies with the
intake manifold temperature. The resistance falls as
the temperature rises.
Coolant water temperature sensor

The sensor is located on the exhaust manifold, on the
right side of the engine. The sensor consists of a non-
linear resistor, whose resistance varies with the
coolant temperature.
The resistance falls as the coolant temperature rises.

The engine ECU monitors an internal voltage drop that
changes when the resistance of the sensor changes.

30-0 General
Fuel temperature sensor

The sensor is mounted on the bracket for the
secondary fuel filter on the right side of the engine.
The sensor consists of a non-linear resistor, whose
resistance varies with the fuel temperature.
The resistance falls as the fuel temperature rises.

The engine ECU monitors an internal voltage drop that
changes when the resistance of the sensor changes.
P0017491
Cam sensor (engine position)

The camshaft position sensor is located at the rear on
the right side of the cylinder head and is identical with
the engine speed sensor. The sensor is inductive, and
reads off a toothed wheel on the exhaust camshaft.
The toothed wheel has one tooth per cylinder plus a

synchronisation tooth, i.e: five teeth on the D4 engines
(four of which are located inside one interval) and,
seven teeth on the D6 engines (six of which are located
inside one interval).
The impulses from the cam position sensor provide the

engine ECU with nformation about the cylinder which
is next in line for fuel injection.
P0017492
Flywheel sensor (engine speed)

The sensor is located on top of the flywheel housing
and is identical with the camshaft position sensor. The
sensor is inductive.
It reads the crankshaft position and speed by means

of 58 small holes drilled on the outer radius of the
flywheel, plus a distance without holes.
The output signal from the sensor is a sinus wave

whose amplitude and frequency depends of the engine
revolution. Once a revolution the amplitude and
frequency drops momentarily to zero which gives the
engine ECU information of the crankshaft position.
The sinus waved signal is read by the engine ECU,

P0017493
which calculates the injection advance and the amount
of fuel to be injected.

Oil pressure sensor

Oil pressure is measured by a pressure sensor
installed in the engine block on the left side of the
engine.
The sensor measures the oil pressure in the main oil

gallery. The sensor is supplied by a 5 V reference
voltage from the engine ECU.
The pressure signal is a voltage signal which is

proportional to the engine oil pressure.
P0017494
Water in fuel switch

The water in fuel switch consists of a measurement
probe containing two measurement points,
galvanically isolated by a layer of insulation. The
measurement probe is in contact with the fuel.
When there is no water in the fuel, the resistance

between the measurement points is very high. If there
is any water in the fuel, the resistance drops.
P0017495
Rail pressure sensor

The sensor is mounted on the left of the engine, at the
front of the distribution manifold (“rail”) which
distributes fuel to the injectors. The sensor is supplied
by a 5 V reference voltage from the engine ECU.
The rail pressure sensor senses the fuel pressure and

converts this to a voltage which is registered by the
engine ECU.

Coolant level switch

The coolant level in the engine is monitored by a level
switch and is a magnetic influenced switch.
The coolant level switch is installed in the bottom of the

expansion tank which is located at the front of the
engine. The level switch has two output states: open/
closed.
The level switch consists of two sections, the actual

switch and a magnetic float which is built into the
expansion tank. The switch senses the position of the
magnetic float. When the coolant level drops, the float
operates the monitor and a closed circuit is formed.
P0017500
Stop relay
The stop relay is located under the top cover. The stop
relay is used when an external stop button is used or
if a fire alarm system is used.
When the relay is pulled the voltage input to the engine

ECU pin 89 is cut and the engine will shut down.
If the relay is triggered, the PCU will set fault codes for
missing communication with MID 128.
P0017497
Voltage converter
An engine with a 12 V system is equipped with a
DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter stabilize the
voltage supplied to the engine ECU during the cranking
sequence. The DC/DC converter also supplies the
EVC system.
Circuit breaker
The engine and the EVC system have a fully automatic
over-voltage protector built into the voltage converter.
If there is an intermittent fault, re-setting is done
automatically.

Magnetically controlled proportional

valve (MPROP)
The magnetically controlled proportional valve
(MPROP), which is located in the high pressure pump,
regulates the rail pressure.
The MPROP valve operates to ensure that the correct

rail pressure is retained despite varying engine speed
and loading. The MPROP regulates the fuel flow
through the high pressure pump. Higher flow through
the MPROP equals higher fuel pressure in the rail.
The control signal from the engine ECU to the MPROP

valve is a PWM (pulse width modulated) signal.
P0017499
The fuel flow through the valve is regulated by the
PWM signal.
The width of the signal decides the flow. A wider signal

gives less flow. The valve is currentless during the
cranking sequence which will give maximum pressure.
No current, open circuit, to the MPROP valve gives full

fuel flow and the high pressure pump generates
maximum pressure. In that case the pressure relief
valve will open and dump the fuel pressure in the rail.
Fuses
The engine has two over-voltage protection circuit
breakers.
The 50 A circuit breaker (1) is for the power trim pump

and the 20 A circuit breaker (2) is for the engine ECU.
These are reset by pressing the button on the over-
voltage protection circuit breaker.

Circuit description
The pressure relief valve (safety valve) protects the
system from excessive rail pressure. The valve opens
and reduces the rail pressure by releasing fuel to the
return pipe.
The valve is a two-stage valve. Stage one opens at

about 190 MPa (1900 bar / 27560 psi) and stage 2
maintains the pressure at about 60 MPa (600 bar /
8700 psi).
The engine ECU has a pressure relief valve monitoring

function that detects if the pressure relief valve has
opened or not. If an excessive pressure is maintained
in the system the engine ECU tries to force the
pressure relief valve to open by a pressure shock. If it
fails the engine is shutdown.
The pressure relief valve is located in the opposite end

of the rail as to the rail pressure sensor.

Checking the coolant level switch

Description: A magnetic influenced level switch is monitoring the engine coolant level.
Special tools: 88890074 Multimeter
Measurement procedure: NOTICE! The coolant level switch can be removed without having to drain the
coolant.
1 Turn the main switch off.
2 Undo the expansion tank and hang it up (without undoing any unions).
Undo the connector and remove the level switch from the expansion tank.
3 Use multimeter 88890074 to do resistance measurement against the
switch. Connect the multimeter to the two pins of the switch. The multimeter
should show OL.
4 Move a magnet along the switch and observe the resistance value. The
resistance should drop to approx. 0 Ohm.
Checking the camshaft sensor /

engine speed sensor
Description: The camshaft sensor / engine speed sensor is an inductive sensor.
Special tools: • 885675 Break-out cable
• 88890074 Multimeter
Measurement procedure: 1 Turn the main switch off.
2 Undo the connector from the sensor and remove the sensor from the
cylinder head or the flywheel housing.
NOTICE! Check that the sensor does not have any external damage, or
any swarf, which has got stuck on it.
3 Connect adapter cable 885675 to the sensor.
NOTICE! Do not connect the other end of the adapter cable to the engine
cable harness, since this can cause a measurement error.
4 Use multimeter 88890074 for resistance measurement.
5 Use multimeter 88890074 for an AC voltage measurement.
Move a metal object rapidly back and forwards not more than 1 mm in front
of the sensor. Check that the multimeter gives a reading.
