The fault lamp will remain off for
approximately one second.
Immediately after the wait time, V-MAC III
will begin to flash a two-digit blink code. The
two digits of the code will be separated by a
one-second idle time (fault lamp off).
Each digit of the blink code may consist of
up to ten ON/OFF flashes. The ON and OFF
time for each flash will be one-fourth of a
second.
The ON flashes of the fault lamp must be
counted to determine the two-digit blink
code.

on most vehicles.
(3-8) In Step 6 the SID was accidentally set to SID 32. It should be SID 152, which was
corrected in Step 7.
(4-1) r FMI 1 — Vehicle speed does not agree with ABS vehicle speed.
r FMI 2 — Data expected from J1939 bus cannot be found.
r FMI 8 — Engine power greater than allowable without vehicle speed.
r FMI 11 — Calculated gear ratio is incorrect.
(6-5) EECU logs this fault if both J1587 and J1939 communications with the VECU have been
lost. Under these circumstances, the engine will shut down.
(6-6) EECU logs this fault if it has detected an internal problem.
(6-7) r FMI 2 — EECU logs FMI 2 if instructed by the VECU to perform its post-run
diagnostics and stop operation and has found that the electrical power has not
been shut off by the VECU.
r FMI 4 — EECU logs FMI 4 when an unspecified high-side drive is shorted (fan and
EGR mass flow supplies).

low (VGT supply).

(Code) or Step/Software
or Note Comments
(7-6) Logged if EECU determines that its own internal voltage is below a plausible limit but the
EECU continues to run. For example, if the voltage is below 4V, the microprocessor
could not run. Consequently, if the processor is running, there must be an internal
problem.
The EECU uses this voltage value for solenoid control. If the voltage measurement is
incorrect, poor engine performance may result. If this code is also accompanied by a 7-5
code, there is an external voltage problem.
(10-1) Reference voltage for Oxygen sensor (not used); Combustion Air Humidity-Temperature
sensor, and EGR position sensor (not used).

Position sensor.

Temperature sensor (not used), and EGR pressure (not used).
(10-4) Reference voltage for Fan Speed Hall Effect sensor.
PID 190, FMI 2, MID 128 For older software levels, the EECU logs this fault but does not broadcast it on the J1587
line if engine speed from one or more sensors exceeds 2500 rpm. This is a plausibility
check without a blink code. New software versions will broadcast this fault with a
corresponding blink code.
SID 151, MID 128 EECU is having a problem controlling certain portions of the solenoid current, but a more
exact diagnosis cannot be made by the EECU. Contact the V-MAC Support Software
Center at (800) 247-0039 EST.

Example 9 — Rear Load Refuse Packer with
Interlocks

This example deals with physical vs. non-physical


PTOs and demonstrates the use of interlocks to
gain the desired result.

A refuse truck could have a pump driven from a


rear engine or front engine PTO. However, in this
example, the PTO is driven off the side of the
transmission and is engaged via a switch in the
cab. Activating the switch physically engages the
PTO and also sends a signal to the PTO 1 input.
This pump can be engaged and used for packing-
on-the-fly. If needed, an engine speed limit
should be placed on PTO 1 to limit the engine
speed. Under normal circumstances, Cruise
control cannot be engaged when this PTO is on.

There is also a lever or switch (located at the side


or rear of the truck) which is used to run up the
engine speed to pack the garbage. The user
could try to wire this switch into PTO 1, but it
could interfere with the ability to pack-on-the-fly
(or pack-on-the-fly could cause the engine speed
to change). Instead, this switch will be wired into
PTO 2. Note that there is only one physical PTO
on the chassis although two PTO inputs are being
used. PTO 2 should only cause the engine speed
to increase if PTO 1 is also engaged; otherwise,
the pump will not operate. The user can also add
interlocks that have been discussed before, such
as a Neutral switch interlock, and require that the
service brake be on for a two-person operation.

Ignition Key Switch None If switch turns off or fails to open, the —
fuel turns off immediately. If switch
fails closed, the engine will not stop
with the key.
Inlet Air Temperature Sensor None Fault on PC screen. 2-3
J1587 J1939 No loss in functionality. Engine will not 6-3
start if both 6-3 and 6-4 are active or if
6-5 is active.
J1939 Communications Line J1587 (limited) Increase low idle speed to 900 rpm. 6-4
900 rpm isochronous governor. VSC
and Cruise control will not function.

even if the engine has not yet reached
the warmup temperature.
J1939 Communications Line None Communication with engine control 6-4
lost. No idle shutdown.
Shutdown Override Switch None Override cannot be performed. —
Throttle Position Sensor None If vehicle is not moving, shutdown will 5-1 or 5-2
occur at proper time.
Vehicle Speed Sensor None Idle shutdown will occur if the throttle 4-1
position sensor position is constant
