 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
V-MAC IV 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 brake operation, 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
ECUs. 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,
and the vehicle operator will be advised that a
fault has occurred by illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp. The module will also
initiate the engine shutdown procedure if the
system determines that the fault will 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.
Page 6
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 Instrument Cluster Module (ICM) is mounted
behind the driver's steering wheel and is the main
control center for dashboard functions.
The ICM is used to provide the operator with
information via gauges, indicator lamps and a
display. Via the three connectors on the rear of
the instrument cluster module, information from
the whole vehicle is received. Some information
is received from sensors directly connected to the
instrument panel, and some is received across
the J1708/1587 data link. The data link permits
other control units in the vehicle to send
messages to the instrument panel. The
instrument panel receives these messages,
processes them and then presents the
information in a suitable form to the operator. The
operator can use a control stalk on the steering
column to cycle through a set of menus to gain a
more detailed picture of the vehicle status.
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
Cap 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
Vehicle Speed (MPH) Sensor (VSS).
 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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
Clutch Switch
Differential Lock Switch
DRL Override Switch
Engine Brake Switches
Fan Override Switch
Ignition Key Switch
PTO Switches (if equipped)
Service and Park Brake Switches
Shutdown Override Switch
Speed Control Switches (Set/Decel,
Resume/Accel)
5th Wheel Slide Switch
The Engine Management System (EMS) Module
is bolted to a fuel cooled mounting plate which is
on the left side of the engine on the air intake
manifold. 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
Ambient (Barometric) Pressure Sensor
Boost Air Pressure (BAP) Sensor
Camshaft Position (Engine Position) Sensor
Cooling Fan Speed (CFS) Sensor
Crankshaft Position (Engine Speed) Sensor
Differential Pressure DPF Sensor
EGR Differential Pressure Sensor
EGR Temperature Sensor
Engine Coolant Level (ECL) Sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) Sensor
Engine Oil Level (EOL) Sensor
Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensor
Exhaust Temperature Sensor (DPF
Sensors)
Fuel Pressure Sensor
Intake Air Temperature And Humidity (IATH)
Sensor
Intake Manifold (Boost) Temperature Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Turbo Speed Sensor
Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) Position
Sensor
The Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) and
Engine Management System (EMS) Module are
dependent on each other to perform their specific
control functions. In addition to switch and sensor
data the broadcast of data between modules also
includes various calculations and conclusions
each module has developed, based on the input
information it has received.
Sensors
AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The Ambient Air Temperature Sensor 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 left front of the vehicle.

 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT)
SENSOR
The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is
located in the thermostat body 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.
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.
FILTER INLET THERMOCOUPLE (A3)
This thermocouple is used to measure exhaust
gas temperature at the inlet face of the DPF filter.
The amount of fuel injected by the atomization
module is metered based on the output of this
thermocouple to meet the required temperature
profile.
The filter inlet thermocouple is located on the side
of the DPF and is positioned before the DPF filter.
Page 9
 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FILTER OUTLET THERMOCOUPLE (A4)
This thermocouple is used to measure exhaust
gas temperature at the outlet face of the DPF
filter. The DPF ECU monitors this temperature
and uses it for system fault detection.
The filter outlet thermocouple is located on the
side of the DPF and is positioned after the DPF
filter.
FLAME THERMOCOUPLE (A2)
This thermocouple is used to measure exhaust
gas temperature within the flame region of the
DPF during regeneration. The DPF ECU monitors
this temperature to detect the existence of the
flame. Fault codes may result if the system is
unable to light the flame or if there are multiple
flame losses.
The flame thermocouple is located on the bottom
of the DPF.
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.
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.
Page 10
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.
MASTER AIR VALVE
The master air valve is located inside of the
atomization module and is controlled by the DPF
ECU. The valve opens when the engine starts
and closes when the engine shuts-down. The
compressed air supplied through this valve and is
used to keep the non-catalyzed DPF fuel nozzle
clean during normal operation. The master air
valve is also used to assist with fuel atomization
during regeneration.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION PORT
The serial communication port is a six or nine pin
connector used to access the system diagnostics
and reprogramming functions. This connector
conforms to the SAE standards and is located
under the dashboard to the left of the steering
column.
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 replaces the
mechanical linkage for fuel control. The sensor is
located under the accelerator pedal. The drive by
wire pedal is designed to provide a system that
feels similar to the standard type of accelerator
pedal and mechanical linkage. 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.
 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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.
VARIABLE TURBINE GEOMETRY (VTG)
POSITION SENSOR
The Variable Turbine Geometry 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.
