2300/2800 Series Engine Wiring Harness

„ The Harness is protected by a plastic tubing

„ It is mechanically fixed to the engine via clips, to keep
the harness secure and away from potential damage
„ All connectors are ‘keyed’ to ensure correct orientation
„ The seals do not require any lubricant

2300/2800 Series Engine Wiring Harness

„ We have a very ‘Fault Tolerant’ extremely reliable

system. Inevitably after many years service, faults may
occur
„ Traditionally, if the problem is ‘Electrical’, wiring/
connectors are most likely to be the cause
„ Shorts/open circuits/high resistance connections, can be
caused by any combination of corrosion/abrasion/
burning/vibration/fatigue and ‘liquid ingress’
„ Make sure all seals are correctly positioned. Blanking
plugs must be fitted on any unused pins, to prevent any
liquid ingress

OEM/Customer Side, Power Connections

„ The injector solenoids are controlled by a 110v DC pulse

(110 Volt DC is a dangerous voltage)
„ All Battery positive and negative connections to the ECM,
should be connected to prevent Voltage drop
„ It is recommended that ECM power cables be connected
directly to battery positive and negative – but it is
acceptable to pick a supply up from the starter
„ Correct cable sizes should be always be used

Connectors

„ Always use high quality connectors (Gold/Nickel Plated)

„ Keep connections to a minimum
„ Make sure all rubber seals are correctly fitted
„ Remember…

Bad connections cause

resistance!

Resistance causes voltage

drop!

To happen to an ECM!

Ignition Key Switch
„ This switch may be used for a controlled engine stop. The ignition
switch does not switch off power to the ECM. The ECM remains
connected to the battery via a fuse/circuit breaker, even when the
ignition is switched off. Can also be used to reset faults. The
Electronic Service Tool (EST) cannot communicate with the ECM
when the Ignition switch is off.
Injection Disabled
„ If you want to stop the engine, use the ‘Injection Disabled’. This
allows communication with the service tool (EST) to continue.
Emergency Shut-down
„ This button, interrupts the main battery power supply to the ECM and
stops the engine. Not Recommended, Don’t forget the ECM is a

2800 Series Engine Protection
There are three alarm levels provided which are defined as:
„ Level 1 - Operator Warning
To warn the operator or machine control system of a possible
condition within the ECM control system that requires the operators
attention.
„ Level 2 – Action (called De-rate or Alert)
To inform the operator or machine control system to take action to
enable the proper control of the system (i.e. to externally de-rate or
reduce speed). This is normally used by the OEM to stop the engine.
„ Level 3 – Shutdown
To inform the operator or machine control system that the ECM has
shutdown due to an operating condition reaching an unacceptable
level; or if in the critical override condition, that the product is now
operating in a condition outside of its scope of supply and may cause
injury or be damaged in such a way as to invalidate the warranty

Injection Disable/Critical Override
„ When critical over ride has been enabled in the service tool - the switch when 'open'
allows the protection to be over ridden, the switch when closed enables the normal
protection - the diagram reads the opposite. The idea was that if you've enabled a
feature to over ride protection and the wire drops off then the fail safe results in you
being able to run to destruction, which is what you want to do - ie protect the patient,
not kill the patient because of a broken wire!
„ In the ‘Remote Control’ configuration, the ‘Injection Disabled’ input will be open or
close to stop and start the engine
(The Ignition switch will be on all the time)

2800 Series Critical Override
„ If the particular operation of the engine is in a critical application (i.e. safety
critical standby generator) the protection system can be overridden to
ensure the continuation of the electricity supply during engine fault
conditions
„ The critical override will be set by a switch input from the OEM. The critical
override input shall be enabled in the service tool via a Factory password
„ When activated the ECM will log the condition and continue to run the engine
in all fault conditions with the exception of Over-speed shutdown and
Emergency shutdown. If the engine enters a fault condition the ECM will log
the event in memory
„ To clear logged shutdown events that occur when the ECM is operating in
Critical Override, a Factory password is required
„ It should be noted that any warranty given on the engine becomes
void if the engine is run in a fault condition with the critical override
enabled as the engine could run to destruction

Speed/Timing Calibration

„ This Procedure is only necessary if the following

Diagnostic Code is present:

261-13 Engine Timing Calibration Required

„ If the ECM has been replaced and you are unable to take
data from existing ECM, or if repairs have been
completed to the engine drive train/replaced sensors
„ The engine must be running at 1100 rpm for ECM
calibration

Crankshaft Timing Notch
„ The crankcase notch is accessed by removing the access plug
„ The timing probe is then installed in this location
„ Use a small screwdriver to locate timing notch when installing the
probe to ensure that the probe is
not installed too far into the
engine resulting in damage
to the probe
„ Crankshaft calibration machined
groove position is 60O back
from correct timing mark

(8O out on crank timing = 4O out on camshaft )

ECM Timing Calibration Probe
This view of the Timing Calibration Probe (magnetic pickup) shows how
the air gap (clearance) is established between the probe and the face of
the crankshaft counterweight.
With piston top dead centre (TDC) position located at the flywheel,
but not locked, rotate the engine anti-clockwise approximately 3” to 4”
of damper movement. Remove the timing probe blanking plug to
locate the machined slot in the crankshaft counterweight.
The timing probe will be damaged if the engine is rotated with
the probe in the slot or if it is hit by the counterweight.
Insert the Timing Calibration Probe into the block until it touches the
machined face of the crankshaft [Link], retract the probe
1 mm (.040 in.) to provide a running clearance.

ECM Timing Calibration Probe (cont/d)
If the probe clearance is not set correctly, erratic performance or failure
of the timing calibration sequence can occur, or the probe may be
damaged.
The calibration offset range is limited to ±3 crankshaft [Link] the
timing is out of range, calibration is aborted. The previous value will be
retained and a diagnostic message will be logged.

Timing Calibration Probe Installation

1mm (0.040in)

The probe measures the angular position of the crankshaft and compares this
to the measurement coming from the Camshaft Speed/Timing Sensor.
The ECM then makes a correction or calibration if necessary

2300/2800 Series Cold Start Mode
Timing Advance
„ Additional timing advance is used in cold weather to compensate for
the increased ignition delay of cold fuel and cold air
„ Several conditions exist in cold engines which cause increased white
smoke from incomplete combustion
Conditions
„ The inlet air is cold, and does not get as hot under compression as
normal ambient temperatures
„ The fuel is cold and does not ignite as easily
„ Ignition delay, (the actual time it takes for the fuel to start burning)
is increased
„ The piston, cylinder wall and head are cold, which draws heat from
the compressed air close to the metal surfaces
„ The cold fuel does not burn as rapidly

2800 Series Governor Stability
„ Establish how much governor instability (ie rpm above and below rated speed)
„ (Increasing governor proportional gain - hunt duration will increase)
„ (Decreasing governor proportional gain - hunt duration will decrease)
„ Adjustments
„ 20 rpm below rated speed - adjust min stability and reduce proportional gain
„ 20 rpm above rated speed - adjust max stability and reduce proportional gain
„ Typical 2806
„ Governor prop gain 26,214 (range 1 - 39999)
„ Governor max stability factor - 3146
„ Governor min stability factor - 1573
„ Type in value ‘O’ and configuration will return to its default value
Note: Altering these values can affect steady state and transient engine
speed/response
