(1) Actuator for the bypass valve

(2) Bypass valve

The master ECM monitors the boost pressure sensor. The master ECM uses a map to determine the desired boost pressure for the operating conditions. The master ECM compares the actual boost pressure to the desired boost pressure. The master ECM sends a command signal to actuator (1) in order to modulate the boost pressure. This causes the actuator to move a shaft that is connected to a plate inside bypass valve (2) .

The bypass valve is connected before the throttle. Tubing is connected from the bypass valve to the inlets for the turbocharger compressors. When the bypass valve is opened, the compressed air/fuel mixture is diverted through the tubing away from the throttle. This reduces the boost pressure.

The master ECM is capable of modulating the bypass valve from a fully closed position to a fully opened position.

The compressor bypass group is also operated during engine shutdown. This reduces the opportunity for a turbocharger surge during engine shutdown. Additionally, any air/fuel mixture that may have been trapped in the tubing is purged.

CAN Data Link

The master ECM and the actuator communicate via the CAN data link. The master ECM sends a command signal to the actuator. The actuator sends the following information to the master ECM: actuator position, CCM heartbeat, software version and internal fault diagnosis.

If the master ECM cannot communicate with the actuator, the master ECM activates a 1720-09 diagnostic code and the engine is shut down. A 1720-09 diagnostic code is probably caused by a problem with an electrical connector or a harness. The next likely cause is a problem with the actuator. The least likely cause is a problem with the master ECM.

Terminating resistors must be connected to each end of the CAN data link. The terminating resistors improve the communication between the devices. If there is an intermittent diagnostic code for any of the devices that are connected to the CAN data link, be sure to check the terminating resistor that is inside the terminal box. Also, check the jumper wire that is connected between terminals P and R on the connector for the fuel metering valve. Make repairs, when possible. Replace parts, if necessary.

Identification on the CAN Data Link

When the actuator for the bypass valve is powered up, the actuator looks for a ground on terminal D. If there is a ground on terminal D, the actuator will have a unique identification on the CAN data link.

If there is no ground on terminal D and the actuator is powered up, the actuator for the bypass valve and the throttle actuator will have the same identification. The ECM will not communicate with the actuator for the bypass valve. Instead, the ECM will activate a 1720-09 diagnostic code. The engine will not start.

The electrical connector for the actuator is designed so that the terminals for electrical power are connected before terminal D. For this reason, electrical power must be removed before the connector for the actuator is connected.

Sleep Mode

The actuator for the bypass valve is in sleep mode until terminals P60-C and P60-H are connected. During sleep mode, the actuator consumes less electrical power in order to conserve battery power. The terminals are connected via the contacts of a relay that is inside the terminal box for the master ECM. The relay activates whenever the engine control is not in the OFF mode. If the actuator does not respond, check the circuit for the sleep mode. Make repairs, if necessary.

All connectors, pins, and sockets are connected properly. The connectors and the wiring do not have corrosion, abrasion, or pinch points.

Results:

  • OK - The components are in good condition with proper connections. Proceed to Test Step 2.

  • Not OK - The components are not in good condition and/or at least one connection is improper.

    Repair: Perform the necessary repairs and/or replace parts, if necessary. Ensure that all of the seals are properly installed. Ensure that the connectors are properly engaged. Verify that the repair has eliminated the original problem.

    STOP

Test Step 2. Check for a Diagnostic Code

  1. Connect the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.

  1. Restore the electrical power to the engine. Set the engine control to the STOP mode.

  1. Use Cat ET in order to determine if a 1720-09 diagnostic code is active.

Expected Result:

The 1720-09 code is not active.

Results:

  • OK - The 1720-09 code is not active. The communication between the master ECM and the actuator for the bypass valve appears to be OK at this time. However, diagnostic codes may be logged.

    Repair: If you are troubleshooting an intermittent problem, refer to Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors".Terminating resistors must be connected to each end of the CAN data link. The terminating resistors improve the communication between the devices. If there is an intermittent diagnostic code for any of the devices that are connected to the CAN data link, be sure to check the terminating resistor that is inside the terminal box. Also check the jumper wire that is connected between terminals P and R on the connector for the fuel metering valve. Make repairs, when possible. Replace parts, if necessary.

    STOP

  • Not OK (Active 1720-09) - The master ECM has detected a problem with the communication between the master ECM and the actuator for the bypass valve. Proceed to Test Step 3.

    P1-50     Terminal "A" (CAN data link −)    
    P1-42     Terminal "M" (CAN data link +)    

Expected Result:

The continuity of the circuits between the terminals is good.

Results:

  • OK - The continuity of the circuits between the terminals is good. Proceed to Test Step 5.

  • Not OK - At least one of the continuity checks indicates an open circuit. There is an open circuit for the CAN data link between the actuator for the bypass valve and the master ECM.

    Repair: The open circuit could be caused by a poor electrical connection in a connector. Alternatively, the open circuit could be caused by one of the following components:

    • The harness inside the terminal box

    • The harness between the terminal box and the throttle actuator

    • The harness between the throttle actuator and the actuator for the bypass valve

    • The fuel metering valve

    • The throttle actuator

    Make repairs, when possible. Replace parts, if necessary.

    STOP

Test Step 5. Check the CAN Data Link for a Short Circuit

  1. Disconnect the P2 connector.

  1. Use a multimeter to check for continuity between the points that are listed in Table 2. During each measurement, wiggle the harnesses in order to check for an intermittent problem with the harness. Be sure to wiggle the harness near each of the connectors. Be sure to wiggle the harness near the fuel metering valve and the throttle actuator.

    • The harness between the terminal box and the throttle actuator

    • The harness between the throttle actuator and the actuator for the bypass valve

    • The fuel metering valve

    • The throttle actuator

    Make repairs, when possible. Replace parts, if necessary.

    STOP

Test Step 6. Check for a Diagnostic Code

  1. Restore the electrical power to the engine. Set the engine control to the STOP mode.

  1. Use Cat ET in order to determine if a 1720-09 diagnostic code is active.

Expected Result:

The 1720-09 code is not active.

Results:

  • OK - The 1720-09 code is not active. The problem seems to be resolved. The initial diagnostic code was probably caused by a poor electrical connection.

    Repair: If there is an intermittent problem that is causing the code to be logged, refer to Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors".

    STOP

  • Not OK - The 1720-09 code is active.

    Repair: The active 1720-09 code could be caused by one of the following components:

    • The master ECM

    • The throttle actuator

    • The actuator for the bypass valve

    • The fuel metering valve

    It is unlikely that any of the components that are listed above have failed. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the 1720-09 code remains active, perform the following procedure:

    1. Temporarily install a new master ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Replacing the ECM". If the problem is resolved with the new ECM, install the original ECM and verify that the problem returns. If the new ECM operates correctly and the original ECM does not operate correctly, replace the original ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Replacing the ECM". If the problem is not resolved with a new ECM, install the original ECM. Continue with this procedure.

    1. Temporarily install a new throttle actuator. If the new throttle actuator operates correctly, the problem is resolved. If the new throttle actuator does not operate correctly, install the original throttle actuator and continue with this procedure.

    1. Temporarily install a new actuator for the bypass valve. If the new actuator for the bypass valve operates correctly, the problem is resolved. If the new actuator for the bypass valve does not operate correctly, install the original actuator for the bypass valve and continue with this procedure.

    1. Temporarily install a new fuel metering valve. If the new fuel metering valve operates correctly, the problem is resolved. If the new fuel metering valve does not operate correctly, install the original fuel metering valve. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors".
