The brain of the electronic engine is the ECM. The ECM functions
as the governor and fuel system computer. The ECM receives all the
signals from the sensors and energizes the injector solenoids to
control timing and engine speed.

The power supply to the ECM and the system is provided by the 24
Volt machine battery. The principle components in this circuit are:
• Battery
• Key Start Switch
• Main Power Relay
• 15 Amp Breaker
• Ground Bolt
• ECM Connector
• Machine Interface Connector
If the supply voltage exceeds 32.5 Volts or is less than 9.0 Volts, a
diagnostic code is logged. (See the Troubleshooting Guide for
complete details on voltage event logging.)
The ECM supplies power for the injectors (105 to 120 Volts), analog
sensors (5 Volts), and digital sensors (8 Volts).
NOTE: The ECM must have supply voltage for the engine to
start. Also, if cranking voltage is below 7 Volts the engine will not
start.

Some EUI injectors have trim codes (bar codes and numerical codes)
marked on the injector. The numerical code must be entered into the
ECM using Cat ET. The purpose of this code is to ensure that all
injectors are matched as perfectly as possible in performance, both in
timing and fuel quantity. Other injectors may have a trim code file to
flash to the ECM.
The injector codes are programmed into the ECM using Cat ET and
the Calibrate Sensor Screen. Failure to enter the codes into a new
ECM may result in unequal timing and fuel delivery between
cylinders.
The EUI injector components are shown here. The main components
are:
• Cartridge valve
• Tappet
• Plunger and barrel
• Nozzle assembly
The pushrod and rocker are forcing the plunger down which displaces
the fuel below the plunger. Although there is flow, no pressure is
being generated at this time.
Unit 2 2-2-17 Machine Electronics
Lesson 2
The pushrod and rocker are still forcing the plunger down which
builds more pressure in the fuel below the plunger and opens the
nozzle check valve to inject the fuel into the combustion chamber.
Fuel injection is terminated when the power to the solenoid is
terminated and pressure is released.

The EUI A injector includes one solenoid which controls the fill/spill
valve. The EUI C injector includes two solenoids, stacked on top of
each other; one of the solenoids controls the fill/spill valve while the
other solenoid controls a new Direct Operated Check (DOC) valve.
Two wires are used to control each solenoid.
The fill/spill valve operates the same way in both the EUI A and EUI
C injectors. The fill/spill valve is normally open allowing fuel to fill
the injector and then spill back into the fuel rail. When the fill/spill
solenoid is energized, the fill/spill valve is closed and pressure builds
inside the injector. Once the pressure is greater than the Valve
Opening Pressure (VOP), fuel is injected into the cylinder.
In the EUI C injector, the second solenoid controlling the DOC valve
will energize and hold the nozzle check in the closed position which
prohibits fuel injection. This allows additional pressure to build inside
the injector. When the ECM has determined that sufficient pressure
has been developed inside the EUI C injector, the DOC solenoid is
de-energized and fuel injection occurs. Higher fuel injection pressure
increases the atomization of the fuel and results in cleaner, more
efficient combustion.

This diagram shows the timing control logic within the ECM.
Engine speed and fuel quantity (which relates to load) input signals
are received by the timing control. The coolant temperature signal
determines when the Cold Mode should be activated. These
combined input signals determine the start of fuel injection.
The timing control provides the optimum timing for all conditions.
The benefits of a "smart" timing control are:
• Reduced particulates and lower emissions
• Improved fuel consumption while still maintaining
performance
• Extended engine life
• Improved cold starting

The fuel transfer pump (arrow) pulls fuel from the tank, through the
primary filter, and sends the fuel to the injectors. The fuel transfer
pump contains a relief valve to protect the fuel system components
from excessive pressure. The relief valve is set higher that the fuel
pressure regulator.
The fuel transfer pump is driven by the front gear train.
This view shows injectors, injector sleeves and the fuel supply
passage. A larger volume of fuel passes through the injector than is
required for injection and combustion. This extra flow is used to cool
the injector which is normally surrounded by hot coolant.
From the rear of the cylinder head, fuel flows to the return side of the
secondary filter base, which contains the Fuel Pressure Regulator.
From the Fuel Pressure Regulator, fuel returns to the tank.

Fuel system maintenance is vital. Dirt or water can reduce the life of
the injector to a few hundred hours, causing unnecessary expense and
downtime. Most Caterpillar small and medium diesel engines require
a 2 micron filter. Failure to filter contaminants from the fuel to this
specification will reduce the life of the injector.
Troubleshooting injector failures should include a check for damage
caused by the entry of water or dirt. To prevent this kind of damage,
fuel should be filtered on delivery. A 10 micron primary filter with a
water separator and a two micron secondary filter should be installed.
Filters should NEVER be filled prior to installation.
