Installation Of An Automatic Retarder System{3100}

Usage:

785 (8GB)

Introduction

This Special Instruction will supply the necessary information to install an Automatic Retarder System (ARC) on a 785 Truck with a Manual Unit Injection (MUI) engine or a truck which has been retrofitted with an Electronic Unit Injection (EUI) engine conversion. THIS INSTRUCTION SHOULD BE KEPT WITH THE TRUCK. The parts and assembly procedure will not be available in any other publication.

Do not perform any procedure outlined in this publication, or order any parts, until you read and understand the information contained within.

NOTE: Make sure to purchase the parts for your truck only. Carefully read the NOTES following the parts list.

NOTE: If both the EUI Conversion and ARC is to be installed, the EUI Conversion must be done first. It is important to keep the ARC box coded properly based upon engine style and transmission control box. During EUI conversion, a new transmission control box (EPTC-II) is installed. It is necessary for specific coding of the ARC control box to reflect these changes.

Operation and Test

Normal Operation

When the vehicle key is turned to "RUN" or "START", the engine overspeed indicator should power up. The "RED" lamp will flash rapidly, not longer than two seconds. During this time the control module is testing itself internally. After this test, all four lamps will light for four seconds. This is known as the "LAMP TEST". When the lamp test is completed, the indicator goes into "Normal Mode".

Normal Mode Operation

During normal mode operation the system will continuously monitor the engine speed sensor, the oil pressure switch, test switch and the vehicle harness code. No alarm is sounded in this mode. The system changes from this mode during one of the following conditions:

1. If engine speed exceeds the defined limit (see Harness Code Identification) the system enters "ALARM MODE".
2. If the test button is depressed the system enters "TEST MODE".
3. If an invalid harness code exists the system enters "FAULT MODE".
4. If the oil pressure switch has been closed for five seconds and no engine speed signal is present, the control enters "FAULT MODE".

Alarm Mode

In alarm mode, the warning alarm should produce a steady tone and the warning lamp will light.

* Lamp # 1, Lamp # 2 and Lamp # 3 should be "ON".
* Lamp # 4 should be "OFF".

The system will remain in alarm mode until the engine speed is reduced below the defined value to terminate alarm mode (see Harness Code Identification).

Test Mode

In test mode, the warning alarm should produce a steady tone and the warning lamp will light. Lamp # 2 will be "ON". Lamp # 4 should be "OFF". Lamps # 1 and # 3 may be "ON" or "OFF", depending on engine speed and oil pressure. The system will remain in test mode until the test button is released or the system is forced into alarm mode by high engine speed.

Fault Mode

In fault mode, the warning alarm will sound "two beeps" every two seconds and the warning lamp will flash two times every two seconds.

* If Lamps # 2, 3 and 4 are flashing once per second, the vehicle harness code is invalid. The system will remain in this mode until a valid vehicle harness code is present.
* If no lamps are flashing, the engine speed sensor or harness is defective. This can be verified by checking Lamp # 1. Lamp # 1 will be "OFF" if no speed signal is present or if the engine is not operating.

Setting The Defined Alarm Speed

In Case of Difficulty

The Engine Overspeed Control is equipped with diagnostic lamps to provide assistance with system troubleshooting. The lamps are arranged as given below. The functions are as follows:

Lamp # 1 - Green

When "ON" or flashing: indicates the presence of an engine speed signal (except during a lamp test or harness code fault).

Lamp # 2 - Green

When "ON": indicates that the alarm and lamp have been activated (except during a lamp test or harness code fault).

Lamp # 3 - Green

When "ON": indicates that the engine oil pressure switch is closed (except during a lamp test or harness code fault).

Lamp # 4 - Red

When flashing rapidly for an extended period: indicates that the control has diagnosed an internal problem. The control should be replaced. It is normal for this lamp to flash briefly (less than two seconds) when the control is first powered up. It may also flash once per second if a harness fault is detected.

1047117 Harness Assembly

The ARC retro harness is used whether updating a truck which has been converted to an EUI engine or retaining an existing MUI engine. Certain connections will be made depending upon the type of engine.

The following paragraphs will explain the procedure for cab wiring based upon the truck configuration.

Instrument Panel Connection


Existing


Retrofit

Disconnect the existing connections on the retarding lamp (454-GN and 123-WH). Wrap and tie back these wires to avoid shorting. Connect the ARC retro harness 454-GN and 202-BK leads to the retarding lamp.


8W0584 Wiring Group (For Reference Only)

Disconnect 454-GN and 200-BK from the existing manual retarder switch (Reference 8W0584 Wiring Group). Wrap and tie back these wires to avoid shorting. Connect the ARC retro harness D992-PU and 202-BK to the manual retarder switch.

Connect the ARC retro harness D991-OR and 202-BK leads to the 9W0263 Auto Retard Switch Assembly which is part of the 3E8978 Valve Group.

Connect the ARC retro harness two pin sure seal breakout marked #1 to the 3E8691 number 1 supply shutoff valve group which is part of the 3E8978 Valve Group. Place the connection into the 9G9150 Sure Seal Clip.

Connect the ARC retro harness two pin sure seal breakout marked #2 to the 3E8691 number 2 pressure control valve group which is part of the 3E8978 Valve Group. Place the connection into the 9G9150 Sure Seal Clip.

035

EUI trucks do not need the engine overspeed control group since this function is handled by the engine electronic control module. An over speed warning lamp is still necessary. During the EUI conversion process, this warning lamp was installed and necessary modifications were made concerning the overspeed system (See SEHS955 4 Cab and Chassis EUI Retrofit).

When a truck has been converted to an EUI engine, the 405-GY (engine oil pressure) wire circuit is powered by the engine control box through the EUI retro harness assembly. Therefore, only the 450-YL (engine speed) wire of the ARC retro harness needs to be connected to the system.

This connection is now made through the EUI retro harness by connecting the two pin (450-YL and 405-GY) sure seal of the ARC retro harness to a two pin (450-YL only) sure seal connector of the EUI retro harness. Refer to SEHS9554 Cab And Chassis Electronic Unit Injector Retrofit.

NOTE: If the EUI conversion process is being made after an ARC retrofit, follow all instructions concerning the EUI conversion. Make sure the final connection of the ARC retro system follows those instructions discussed for EUI trucks in this publication.
