Cooling System
Charge Air Cooler
Charge A ir C ooler S ystem s are essential today to meet
em issions regulations. However, they also improve
power density, lower fuel consumption, and reduce ther
mal stresses on the engine by cooling the turbocharged
air before it enters the engine. The turbocharged air is
heated up to 200 C (400 F) or even higher as it enters
the charge cooler, and is cooled to around 40 C (100
F) when it leaves for the engine.
A ccum ulation of bugs and d irt in the finned areas of a

C harge A ir C ooler are known problems. If there is a
build up of any debris like road film, bugs, etc. in ju s t a
section of a charge air cooler, that section overheats and
torsional (twisting) stresses develop in the charge air
cooler core. The fin passage cleanliness may not be as W2000730
critical in an over-the-highway vehicle, but in construc Fig. 1: C harge air cooler
tion, logging and mining equipment, it can be.
B efore performing the actual leak test, make sure the

pressure regulator is functioning properly; see Cooling

Coolant Circulation in Engine

The coolant is forced through the system by a gear-
driven pump. The coolant enters the cylinder block
through a pipe and first passes the area where the oil
cooler is installed. The coolant is then distributed
through galleries in the cylinder block and cylinder head
to reach the cylinder liners and other parts o f the engine
before leaving the cylinder head through the therm ostat
housing. The illustration shows the engine during the
w arm -up period. The therm ostat is closed and the
coolant is flowing back to the coolant pump.
13
Thermostat
The engine is equipped with a therm ostat. The therm o
stat housing incorporates a sensor for coolant
tem perature. D uring engine w arm -up, the therm ostat is
closed, (see Fig. 4: Therm ostat closed , page 14) and
coolant flows from the cylinder head through the outer
section of the therm ostat back to the coolant pump.
W2003283
Fig. 4: Therm ostat closed
W hen the engine has reached operating tem perature

and the therm ostat is open (see Fig. 5: T herm ostat open,
page 14) , the outlet to the coolant pump is gradually
closed. The coolant now passes through the inner sec
tion of the therm ostat housing and then to the radiator.
W2003284
Fig. 5: Therm ostat open

Thermostat Housing
D12C
The therm ostat housing has been integrated into the
cylinder head.
The therm ostat (1) is located at the right front side of the
cylinder head and its seal ring (2) is accessible once the
connection housing (3) and therm ostat have been re
moved (see illustration, Fig. 6: Therm ostat Housing,
D12C, page 15).

Flushing Cooling System

The cooling system should always be cleaned when the
coolant is replaced.
Coolant is toxic; risk of poisoning. Do not drink

coolant. Use proper hand protection when handling.
Keep coolant out o f reach of children and animals.
Failure to follow these precautions can cause serious
illness or death.
Note: Always dispose of coolant according to Federal or

local regulations. Take all used coolant to a recycling or
waste collection center.
18
Expansion Tank
The expansion tank includes a pressure valve and a
coolant level sensor. The tank material is clear and has
maximum (MAX) and minimum (MIN) m arkings to allow
visual fluid level checks.

Draining Points
To drain the cooling system, all drain points should be
opened. In addition, the expansion tank cap should be
removed w hile the system is draining.
Draining points:
Radiator
C ylinder block
Oil cooler, transm ission (when installed)
C oolant pump
Note: In som e locations the draining point consists of a

quick-connect valve (1) covered with a rubber cap; see

is a quick-connect hose needed for draining. Fig. 13: Q uick-connect drain valve in bottom of radiator
Coolant Pump
The coolant pump is mounted to the timing gear plate
and is driven by the timing gears. The coolant pump in
cludes a one-piece carbon/ceram ic seal and a double
ball bearing for the pump shaft. The pump is equipped
with a shut-off valve (1) which prevents coolant from
draining out when changing the coolant filter; see Fig.
14: C oolant pump, page 20. To close the valve, the han
dle is turned to the horizontal position.
Note: The shut-off valve must always be in the open po

sition. That is, the handle should point vertically, except
when replacing the lines.
Fig. 14: C oolant pump
20
Coolant Filter
A coolant filter is mounted to the coolant pump. On D12
engines and an adapter is mounted to the pump with
lines to a rem ote-m ounted coolant filter situated on the
right side o f the engine.
Coolant filters used with standard coolant include an anti

corrosive agent, SCA (Supplem ental Coolant Additive),

Winterfront
Volvo Trucks North Am erica, Inc. does not recom mend
the use of winterfronts, shutters or any other shield in
front of the grille or radiator package under norm al cir
cumstances. These devices, if not used properly, can
cause higher exhaust tem peratures, power loss, exces
sive fan usage and a reduction in fuel economy.
Today's electronically controlled engines are designed to

operate in tem peratures w ithout a winterfront. Volvo
Trucks North Am erica, Inc. does not recom mend the use
of a w interfront while the vehicle is being driven. If a w in
terfront is used, it must conform to these specifications:
Note: Please see your local Volvo Truck Dealer for Volvo
recom mended winterfronts. If there is engine or related
damage that can be followed back to an im properly used
winterfront, the warranty is no longer valid for those parts.
V H D -Failure to remove the w interfront when tem pera

tures go above 1 5 F (-25 C.) could cause severe
damage to engine, charge-air-cooler and/or loss of fuel
economy. The grille cover should be able to let airflow
through to the charge-air-cooler at a uniform rate over
the entire area. This means that a single, small opening
in the w interfront is not acceptable. A ir passage must be
distributed evenly across the grille and no more than
85% can be covered.
V N -W interfronts are properly used for overnight parking

in the w inter or very cold tem peratures (b e lo w -5 F[-20
C]). In these cases, coolant and inlet manifold tem pera
tures must be carefully monitored and controlled.

Viscous Fan
The Viscous fan consists of a fan section and a drive
section connected by a visco-static clutch. The clutch
consists of a drive plate (6) which is mounted in a hous
ing (7); see Fig. 17: Fan, cross-section, page 23.
On each side of the drive plate (6) is an air gap. When

the fan is engaged, these gaps are filled with fluid. With
the fan in operation, the flow o f fluid in the fan hub takes
place in two different ways. The tem perature around the
bim etallic plate (2) determ ines which path the fluid takes
and thereby the degree to which the fan is engaged.
The control device regulates the am ount of fluid reaching

the drive cham ber to meet the cooling requirements. The
more fluid in the drive chamber, the less slip, thus re

sulting in higher fan speed. The fluid circulates between Fig. 15: Cooling fan
the storage and drive chambers. W hen the engine and
fan stop, the fluid runs out into the drive chamber, which
is why the fan is generally engaged during the first min
utes after starting the engine.

Crack(s) in cylinder head
Crack(s) in cylinder block
25
Coolant Leaks Through Overflow

Faulty pressure cap/relief valve
Engine running too hot
Expansion tank installed incorrectly
C ylinder block cracked
Liners pitted or cracked
Coolant losses, warm engine switched off
Coolant losses after having switched o ff a warm engine

are generally due to heavy load operation and subse
quent stopping w ithout allowing the engine first to run at
idling speed to cool down, or a faulty pressure cap valve.
Temperature Gauge, Checking

Remove the tem perature sensor from the therm ostat
housing and reconnect the electric connector. C onnect a
ground between the tem perature sensor and the cylinder
block. Subm erse the tem perature sensor in heated water.
Using a therm om eter, read off the tem perature. Compare
this reading with the reading o f the tem perature gauge.
Air Flow-through, Checking

Should higher than norm al coolant tem peratures be ob
served, the passage o f air through the charge air cooler,
A/C condenser and radiator must always be checked and
cleaned if necessary. Any obstruction must be removed.
In cases of more serious blockage, the radiator/charge

air cooler and A/C condenser must be removed entirely
and thoroughly cleaned, especially if the pollutant is oil
based.
If the fins of the radiator have been bent by flying stones

etc., straighten them with a fin comb.
Check that the rubber seals between the fan shroud and
the radiator, and in some cases between the radiator
and the front shroud, have not loosened or for any other
reason are not providing a good seal.
Polluted Coolant
If the coolant is polluted it could mean that there is an in
ternal leak (oil) or that the cooling system is clogged
(deposits). Check for leaks.
A clogged system is usually a result o f not changing the

coolant according to the specific change intervals or us
ing the wrong mixture of coolant and water, or that
polluted w ater has been used.

Fig. 111: Proper storage of fan
The temperature controlled fan is filled with a precise

amount of silicone fluid; this determines its functional
properties. When out of the vehicle, the temperature
controlled fan must always be stood vertically. If placed
horizontally, leakage will occur and the fan will lose its
properties. Before replacing a fan, always make sure
that the new fan has not leaked fluid. If fluid has leaked
out, special instruments are required to check both en

Fuel System
W2003243
Fig. 3: Fuel system, D12C
The Volvo D12 is an electronic engine designed to meet

todays high environmental standards. Meeting these
standards requires optim um combustion. This demands,
among other things, injecting the exact am ount of fuel
into the com bustion cham ber under very high pressure,
at precisely the correct time, depending on engine
speed, load, tem perature and other conditions.
Because totally m echanical injection system s cannot

meet these demands, the engine is equipped with an
electronically controlled injection system . An engine
electronic control unit (EECU) receives im pulses from
the accelerator pedal and a num ber of sensors on the
engine. The sensors read signals which govern the injec
tion procedure and send these signals to the EECU. The
fuel system has a built-in diagnostic system, which elec
tronically detects and traces any faults in the system.
Each cylinder has four valves. Individual differences

always occur between the cylinders in an internal com
bustion engine. The engine has a cylinder balancing
system, the purpose of which is to even out the am ounts
of fuel between the cylinders. C ylinder balancing takes
place with the engine running at idle speed, providing
certain preconditions have been met.

Unit Injectors
The fuel injection system of the D12 engine uses
electronically-governed unit injectors that are electrically
activated and m echanically driven via roller rocker arms
from the cam shaft lobe. They are vertically located In the
center between the four valves In the cylinder head for
each cylinder.
The electronic unit Injector (EUI) com bines an Injection

pump and an Injector. An EUI can operate at consider- <
ably higher Injection pressure than a conventional
Injector. The EUI consists of three main com ponents:
P u m p containing a cylinder and piston; this corre

sponds to the pump assem bly In an Injection pump.
In je c to r with nozzle body, nozzle needle and spring.
V alve h o u s in g with an electro-m agnetlcally con

trolled fuel valve.
The upper part of the electronic unit Injector, which In

cludes the com pression spring and valve housing, lies
above the cylinder head.
The center part of the electronic unit Injector, w here the

Intake and outlet holes for the fuel are located, lies In the
cylinder head fuel gallery. The electronic unit Injector
takes In fuel directly from the fuel gallery.
The lower part of the EUI is located in a copper sleeve T2006848

against the bottom of the cylinder head, sim ilar to a Fig. 6: Electronic unit injector (EUI)
standard injector.

The EECU calculates injection tim ing and the am ount of 2 Injector part
fuel to inject into the cylinder and transm its signals to the 3 Valve housing
electrom agnetically controlled fuel valve in the valve
housing. The length of the injection tim e determ ines the
am ount of fuel injected into the cylinder.

Injector Operational Phases

Fill Phase
During the filling phase, the pump plunger (2) is on its
way up, the cam shaft lobe is passing its highest point,
and the rocker arm is on its way toward the cam shaft ba
sic circle.
The fuel valve (1) is open, allowing fuel to flow into the
EUI from the lower fuel gallery (4). It flows into the cylin
der head and the EUI pump cylinder. Filling continues
until the pump plunger reaches its upper position.
Fig. 7: Filling phase
1 Fuel valve
2 Pump plunger
3 Fuel outlet (overflow)
4 Fuel gallery (inlet and outlet)
14
Spill Phase
The spill phase begins when the cam shaft turns to the
position at which the cam shaft lobe forces the rocker
arm to push the pump plunger (2) down.
The fuel can now flow through the fuel valve (1), through
the holes in the EUI and out through the fuel gallery (4).
The spill phase continues as long as the fuel valve (1) is
open.
Fig. 8: Spill phase
1 Fuel valve
2 Pump plunger
15
Injection Phase
The injection phase begins when the fuel valve (1)
closes. The cam shaft lobe and rocker arm continue to
press down the pump plunger (2) and injection occurs as
the route through the fuel valve closes. The injection
phase continues as long as the fuel valve (1) is closed.
T2006815
Fig. 9: Injection phase

Pressure Drop Phase

The injection phase ends when the fuel valve (1) opens
and pressure in the EUI drops below the nozzle opening
pressure. The fuel flows through the open fuel valve (1),
through the electronic unit injector holes and out through
the fuel gallery (4). Note that the fuel valve position
(closed or open) determ ines when the injection phase
begins and ends. The tim e during which the fuel valve is
closed determ ines the am ount of fuel injected at each
pump stroke.

D12A
One unit injector is used for the 345, 385, and 425
horsepower variants. The spray angle has been m odi
fied. These injectors are NOT interchangeable with the
D12 injectors.
D12B
The unit injectors on the D12B have a longer pum p
stroke length than earlier injectors on the D12A. They
are not interchangeable with other engine versions.
The engine electronic control unit (EECU) receives sig

nals both from the engine's own sensors and from the
vehicle control unit. The EECU then controls the unit in
jectors and determ ines the tim ing of the injection as well
as the am ount of fuel to be injected into the cylinders.
W ith the adaptation to the new vehicle electronics, the

throttle position sensor signal on the D12B is now linked
to the engine control unit via the vehicle control unit.
CAUTION
Using incorrect injectors (i.e. D12A injectors in a
D12B engine) can cause engine dam age and/or poor
performance. Injector identification can only be made
using the injector part num ber located on the injector
solenoid valve.
D12C
The D12C has new unit injectors, with 17 mm pump
stroke and higher injection pressure. The injector noz
zles are new, and have a different orifice pattern.
Unlike the D12A and D12B engines, the D12C cylinder

head only has one fuel galley for the unit injectors. This
m eans that only tw o sealing rings are needed for each
unit injector (the D12A and D12B use three rings).
Fuel enters at the rear of the cylinder head and exits out
the front.

The fuel feed pump (1) is mounted on the tim ing gear
plate and driven through a recess in the pump shaft by
the engine tim ing gears. It picks up fuel from the fuel tank
(7) through the fuel system EECU (2). Return fuel from
the cylinder head is also routed into the fuel feed pump.
A bleed line (3) goes from the fuel feed pump back to
the fuel tank, and is designed to continuously bleed the
system. From the fuel feed pump, fuel first passes
through the filter (8) and then into the cylinder head fuel
gallery (4). The fuel gallery surrounds the part of the EUI
(5) w here the fuel holes are placed. The system overflow
valve (6) is located in the fuel gallery outlet connection.
Leak-off fuel flows from the EUI back to the fuel gallery,
elim inating the need for an external fuel return.

Unlike the D12A, the EECU on th e D12B is fitted with
an external fuel cooling coil.

Bleed line Fuel filter
The fuel system 's supply pump (1) is attached to the tim
ing gear plate and is driven via a groove in the pump
shaft from the engine's tim ing gears.
The supply pump pulls fuel from the ta n k (7) through the
EECU's cooling coil, which cools the EECU. The return
fuel from the cylinder head is then blended with this fuel
and enters the supply pump. From the supply pump (1),
a bleed line (3) leads back to the fuel tank to provide
continuous venting for the system.
With the bleed line (3) as the only return line to the tank,
the only fuel passing through the EECU's cooling coil is
the am ount consumed by the engine.
From the supply pump (1), the fuel is forced through the
fuel filter (8) and then into the cylinder head fuel gallery
(4). The fuel gallery is designed so that it surrounds that
part o f the unit injectors (5) where the fuel holes are lo
cated.
The system 's overflow valve (6) is located in the fuel

gallery's outlet connection. The overflow valve regulates
the fuel system 's supply pressure. All fuel that exits the
overflow valve (leak-off fuel) is then blended with the fuel
entering the supply pump.

Fuel Filter
The system is equipped with a large fuel filter located on
the left-hand side of the engine. The filter insert consists
of a special corrugated filter paper with a high resistance
to w ater and very good filtering properties. In addition, a
fine-gauge net filter on the fuel suction line in the fuel
tank separates any possible solid impurities before the
fuel is pumped up into the system.

Fuel Feed Pump

The capacity of the pump has been adapted to give the
correct pressure and flow to the EUI. Filling the EUIs re
quires relatively high pressure. The flow must be large
enough to even out any fuel tem perature differences in
the cylinder head fuel gallery.

Fuel Feed Pump Replacement
Fig. 21: A = Radial Play
W hen replacing a D12 fuel supply pump for any reason,

the accessory drive m ust also be inspected. There
should be no radial or axial play in the accessory drive
shaft. Radial play is m ovem ent parallel (side to side) to
the face of the pulley. Do not confuse with backlash
which is measured by turning the pulley. Axial play is
m ovem ent perpendicular (in and out) to the face of the
pulley. Release the tension on the alternator and fan
belts before checking. This test is done by sim ply at
tem pting to move the accessory drive pulley by hand.
A CAUTION
Radial or axial play in the accessory drive shaft may
cause prem ature failure o f the fuel feed pump.

Hand Primer
The hand prim er is situated on the fuel filter bracket. It is
used to pump the fuel and bleed the system when the
engine is not running.

Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU)

The electronic control module is the central part of the
injection system. It is located on the left-hand side of the
engine. The EECU receives continuous inform ation from
the accelerator pedal and from several sensors on the
engine. It calculates the am ount and the tim e to inject
fuel into the cylinders. Electrical wiring to the EUI fuel
valves transm its control signals to the injectors.
The EECU uses the flywheel sensor to monitor engine

rotation and engine speed variations during a revolution.
This allows the EECU to ensure that each EUI receives
exactly the correct am ount of fuel. The EECU stores in
form ation when a fault occurs or if som ething in the
system is abnorm al. Occassional faults are also stored
and can be traced at a later stage.

Troubleshooting
Fuel System, Fault Tracing
C orrect fault diagnosis is essential to accurate engine re
pair. The complex design of the engine (that is, with a
cylinder head that covers all the cylinders, overhead
g e a rw he el-drive n camshaft, and EUI) makes the cylin
der head removal on the D12 a com prehensive w ork
operation. Fault tracing in the fuel system requires thor
ough knowledge on how the system functions, as one
does not have the opportunity as with a conventional fuel
system of seeing and checking directly on the engine.
As the EECU receives all the information electronically

from the different sensors, the EECU must gather all the
inform ation when the engine is started and then check
that the inform ation is correct. This means the D12 en
gine does not start on the first crankshaft revolution, but
requires two revolutions in order for the control unit to set
the correct values. It is im portant that the starter motor
revolutions are not too slow, as slow starter m otor speed
is interpreted by the control unit that the crankshaft does
not rotate and, as a result, the injector fuel valves do not
receive the appropriate signals to release fuel.
The crankshaft must rotate at a minim um of 75 rpm to

ensure that the engine starts. To facilitate fault tracing in
the fuel system, D12 is equipped with a diagnostic sys
tem w hich makes it possible to localize faults in the fuel
system w ithout having to perform extensive dismantling
work.
W ith the fault codes stored in the control unit, it is possi

ble, through the diagnostic system, to quickly establish
w hich fault or faults have occurred.
Fault Codes
It is im portant to delete a fault code from the diagnostic
system after the fault code has been corrected and be
fore the truck leaves the w orkshop. Fault codes
remain in the system until they are removed. They
do not autom atically clear w hen the fault has been
corrected.

system at several points:
suction side fuel supply lines

pick-up in the fuel tank
prim ary fuel filter
copper sleeve to injector seat
injector tip

Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function
Design and Function

Preheater
Selected versions o f the D12 are equipped with a pre
heater. Its purpose is to warm air in the intake manifold
when starting the engine. This heated air eases starting
at very low tem peratures and reduces engine smoking
when starting a cold engine. The following conditions are
required to engage the preheater:
The parking brake must be applied.
The power take-off must not be engaged.
The preheater does not engage at coolant tem peratures

over 1 0 C ( 5 0 F). A t a coolant tem perature of 1 0 C
( 5 0 F), the preheating tim e is 25 seconds. A t coolant T2006975
tem peratures below - 1 0 C ( 0 F), the preheating tim e is Fig. 1: Preheater
55 seconds. Preheating tim e increases linearly between
1 0 C ( 5 0 F) and - 1 0 C ( 0 F).
The post-heating tim e is always the sam e as the pre

heating time.
D12C
The D12C is equipped with a new preheater. The func
tion of the starting heater is sim ilar for both vehicle
variants, but the location of the relay differs. The pre
heater on both engine variants is grounded to the engine
block through the intake manifold.
W2003281
Fig. 2: Preheater, D12C
9
Engines without Preheater

On engines not equipped with a preheater, engine
coolant tem perature determ ines the point at which fuel
injection begins while starting. The crankshaft rotates an
extra num ber of turns to increase cylinder tem perature
before fuel injection begins. This gives more reliable
starting and reduces exhaust em issions during cold
starts down to about - 1 5 C ( 5 F). This means that the
crankshaft may need to rotate about 3 -4 rotations before
fuel injection begins and the engine fires.
An exhaust pressure governor is activated during start

up.

Engine Brake
Fig. 3: D12 Engine
1 Camshaft Rocker arm

2 Shutter Control valve
3 Exhaust pressure governor Shim
The Volvo Engine Brake (VEB) is a combination o f two

brake systems: the exhaust brake and the compression
brake.
E x h a u s t b rake
The exhaust pressure governor uses a shutter mounted
in the exhaust outlet from the turbocharger. This shutter,
connected to the exhaust pressure governor plunger,
can restrict the exhaust gas flow. This creates a braking
effect during the exhaust stroke when the exhaust gases
cannot evacuate freely and create an overpressure be
tween the pistons and the shutter.
C o m p re s s io n b ra ke
During the engine com pression stroke and combustion
(operating) stroke, the controlled opening of the exhaust
valves creates an overpressure in the combustion cham
ber. This, in turn, produces a braking effect on the
crankshaft.
The cam shaft on an engine with a com pression brake

has tw o extra lobes on each exhaust cam profile. The
lifting height of the extra lobes is very low w hen com
pared to the norm al exhaust lobes. To enable the extra
lobes to open the exhaust valves, the exhaust rocker
arm s are arranged in a m anner by which the valve clear
ance can be reduced during the braking sequence.
S h im S h im s are available in thickness invtervals of 0.05

mm (0.0002 in). Sizes range from 2 .0 -2 .4 mm (0.08
0.094 in) and from 3 .2 -3 .9 5 m m (0.126-0.156 in).
Thickness is stam ped on the shims.
11
D12C
The VEB solenoid has been moved to the center of the
rocker shaft. The oil supply is internal, rather than having
the external piping visible.
Control Valve
The control valve is mounted on the cylinder head under
the valve cover, and is connected to the oil system
ahead of the rocker arm shaft. Its purpose is to reduce
the oil pressure to the rocker arms w hile the engine is
operating (com pression brake not activated).
There is always full system oil pressure to the control

valve intake (1) because the intake is connected via a
pipe to the lube oil gallery in the cylinder block. The oil
pressure to the rocker arm shaft can be increased via a
solenoid valve (2) mounted on the control valve, from ap
proximately 100 kPa (14.5 psi) while the engine is
operating, to more than 200 kPa (29 psi) during com
pression braking.
W hile the engine is operating, the oil pressure is reduced

after the control valve by the plunger (3) being held in
balance by the force of a spring (4) and the oil pressure
in the oil cham ber (6) on the opposite side of the plunger.
W hen the solenoid valve is activated, the oil cham ber (6)
is drained and the spring (4) presses the plunger (3) to
its end position. The plunger com pletely opens the oil
outlet (5) to increase oil pressure to the rocker arm shaft.

Camshaft on Engine with Compression Brake

The cam shaft on an engine with a com pression brake
has an induction lobe (1) and a decom pression lobe (2)
in addition to the normal exhaust lobe (3) on each
cam profile for the exhaust valves.
The induction and decom pression lobe lifting height is

0.8 mm (0.032 in.) above the basic circle, which is equiv
alent to approxim ately 1.1 mm (0.043 in.) at the valve
bridge.
The induction lobe is positioned so that it opens the ex

haust valves at the end o f the intake stroke and holds
them open until the beginning of the com pression stroke.
The decom pression lobe is positioned so that it opens

the exhaust valves at the end of the com pression stroke.
In order for the induction and decom pression lobes to

open the exhaust valves, the valve clearance must be re
duced to zero by the activation of the non-return valve
and plunger located in the rocker arm for the exhaust Fig. 5: Cam Shaft Profile
valves.
1 Induction lobe
2 Decompression lobe
3 Exhaust lobe

Exhaust Rocker Arms

The exhaust rocker arm s on an engine with a com pres
sion brake are larger than those on a conventional
engine.
The rocker arm includes a non-return valve (2) and a

plunger (3) with a pressure limiting valve, the purpose of
which is to regulate the oil flow during com pression brak
ing.
The rocker arm is held in its position against the valve

bridge with the help of a spring tab (1).
W2003502
The valve clearance is greater than that on an engine Fig. 6: Rocker arm assembly, side view:
w ithout a com pression brake, because the induction and
decom pression lobes must not open the exhaust valves 1 Spring tab
w hile the engine is in normal operating mode (com pres 2 Non-return valve
sion brake not activated). 3 Rocker arm plunger
4 Shims
Valve adjustm ent is carried out with shim s which are
placed on the valve bridge.
N ote: A maximum o f two shim s are allowed to obtain

proper valve clearance.
Non-Return Valve
The engine brake has a non-return valve, consisting of a
plunger (1), spring (2) and a ball (3) in the rocker arm.
When oil from the rocker arm shaft enters the valve, the
movem ent of the plunger is determ ined by the spring
force and the oil pressure.
When the oil pressure is low approxim ately 100 kPa

(14.5 psi); the control valve is in its normal engine oper
ating position the plunger (1) will not move out of its
rest position because the oil pressure is not sufficient to
overcom e the spring force. The plunger pin prevents the
ball (3) from entering the seating area, and the oil can
then flow freely through the valve in both directions.
W hen the control valve takes up the position for com

pression braking, the oil pressure increases to the
non-return valve. The spring force in the non-return valve 5
is such that when the oil pressure exceeds approxi T2006834
mately 200 kPa (29 psi), the spring force is overcom e Fig. 7: Rocker arm assembly, top view:
and the plunger (1) moves so that it no longer influences
the ball (3). The spring (5) presses the ball (3) against 1 Plunger
the seat and prevents the oil contained above the 2 Spring
plunger (4) from flowing past the ball (3). This form s high 3 Ball
oil pressure above the plunger (4). 4 Rocker arm plunger
5 Spring
14
Rocker Arm Plunger

The purpose o f the rocker arm plunger is to elim inate all
valve clearance during the com pression braking.
Engine Operation
W hen the engine is operating (com pression brake not
activated), there is reduced oil pressure approx. 100
kPa (14.5 psi) via the control valve to the rocker arm
shaft and the rocker arm non-return valve (1) is open. Oil
can flow freely through the non-return valve in both di
rections. A s a result, no oil pressure is built up between
the rocker arm plunger (2) and the rocker arm.
The set valve clearance is great enough to prevent the

cam shaft induction and decom pression lobes from open
ing the exhaust valves.
The valve m echanism operates the same as on an en

gine w ithout a com pression brake; in other words, only
the exhaust lobe opens the exhaust valves.
T2006828
Fig. 8: Rocker Arm Plunger
1 Non-return valve
2 Rocker arm plunger
Compression Braking
D uring com pression braking, the control valve does not
reduce the oil pressure, so an oil pressure o f at least
200 kPa (29 psi) is delivered to the rocker arm shaft.
The pressure in the rocker arm non-return valve (1) be

com es so great that the plunger in the non-return valve
is moved out o f its rest position, and the ball now func
tions as a non-return valve. Pressure is built up between
the rocker arm plunger (2) and the rocker arm. The
plunger is pressed out and presses the rocker arm roller
against the lobes on the camshaft. In this way, the valve
clearance is elim inated and the lifting height on the in
duction and decom pression lobes is sufficient to open
the exhaust valves.
The rocker arm plunger is fitted with a pressure limiting

valve (3). W hen the oil pressure between the rocker arm
plunger and the rocker arm becom es too great, the pres
sure limiting valve opens and oil can exit through the
hole in the bottom o f the plunger. The opening pressure
of the pressure limiting valve is governed by the force of
the valve spring.

Control System
The engine brake is connected to the throttle pedal and
is activated w hen the pedal is com pletely released, ac
cording to the selection made with the engine brake
switch on the instrum ent panel.
The selection made with this switch also regulates en

gine braking activated by the cruise control.
N ote: The engine brake functions as long as the engine

control system has received signals from engine sensors
indicating that the required preconditions for engine
braking have been met. For example, the engine speed
must be greater than 1100 rpm, the vehicle speed must
be greater than 12 km/h (7.5 mph), and the engine tem
perature m ust be above 70 C (160 F).
The switch has three positions: F ig 10: Switch fo r engine brake
0 No engine brake engaged
1 Exhaust brake, EPG
2 Exhaust brake and com pression brake, VEB
Exhaust Brake
When exhaust braking, the exhaust pressure governor
(EPG) is activated with a control pressure of approxi
mately 750 kPa (110 psi). A t this point, the shutter is
forced out of the EPG and into the shutter housing. This
restricts the flow of exhaust gases out of the cylinders,
as the shutter blocks the outlet from the turbocharger.
Restricting the flow of exhaust gases form s an air cush

ion between the shutter and the piston crowns. During
the exhaust stroke, this air cushion provides a braking
effect on the pistons as the exhaust valves are then
opened.
The higher the engine speed during the exhaust braking,

the greater the braking effect.

w ith th e c o m p re s s io n brake. In the com pression brake
induction phase, the exhaust brake creates an overpres
sure in the exhaust manifold, making the com pression
brake more efficient.
In d u c tio n ph a se
The induction phase begins at the end of the intake
stroke and continues slightly into the com pression stroke.
The piston travels towards its bottom dead center posi

tion and the cam shaft induction lobe opens the exhaust
valves for the tim e required to fill the cylinder with the
overpressure created by the exhaust brake in the ex
haust manifold.
W hen the induction lobe closes the exhaust valves, the

cylinder has an overpressure at the start of the com pres
sion stroke.
This overpressure considerably increases the com pres

sion during the com pression stroke, w hich in turn
creates a powerful braking effect during the upward
movem ent of the piston.
Fig. 12: C harging phase
D e c o m p re s s io n ph a se
A t the end of the com pression stroke, when the piston is
nearing its top dead center position, the cam shaft
decom pression lobe opens the exhaust valves and re
leases the pressure out of the cylinder.
S hortly before the bottom dead center position, the ex

haust valves are opened by the ordinary exhaust lobe.
D uring the exhaust stroke, the counterpressure is cre

ated in the exhaust manifold which, in turn, has a
braking effect because the exhaust pressure governor
shutter is still restricting the flow of exhaust gases out of
the turbocharger.

Exhaust Pressure Governor

The exhaust pressure governor(EPG ) acts as an exhaust
brake when slowing the vehicle down. It also speeds en
gine w arm -up by applying a load to the engine during
idle and warm-up. Engine load is created by the (EPG)
throttling the flow of exhaust gases, causing the engine
to w o rk against a backpressure. This increases com bus
tion tem perature and shortens the w arm -up period.
On engines w ithout a pre-heater, the (EPG) is activated

before the starter motor is engaged. For engines with a
pre-heater, the (EPG) is activated after pre-heating,
start-up and post-heating have taken place.
The (EPG) is activated by a control pressure of about

200 kPa (29 psi), by a combi relay when it is used during T2006948
starting and warm-up. W hen used for engine braking, Fig. 17: Exhaust pressure governor (EPG)
the exhaust pressure governor is controlled by a single
tw o-position switch if the engine is equipped with an ex
haust brake only, and by dual tw o-position switches if the
engine is equipped with a Volvo Engine Brake, or VEB
(both exhaust brake and com pression brake).
Engines with Exhaust Brake Only

Two-position switch (ON/OFF)
W ith the switch in the ON position, the exhaust pressure

governor is activated by a control pressure of approx.
750 kPa (110 psi) subject to the following conditions:
A ccelerator pedal fully up.
Clutch pedal fully up.
Engine speed above 1100 rpm.
Boost pressure below 52 kPa (7.5 psi).
W hen using cruise control and preselected road

speed is exceeded by 7 km/h (4 mph) (disengage
ment at 4 km/h (3 mph) over preselected speed).

ABS not activated (continuous control).
Fig. 19: Exhaust brake switch for VN/VHD
19
Engines with VEB

W hen the engine brake ON/O FF switch is in the ON po
sition, the engine brake is activated according to the
position of the engine brake HI/LO switch.
W ith the HI/LO switch in the LO position, only the ex

haust pressure governor is activated and is subject to
the sam e conditions as for engines with an exhaust
brake only.
W ith the HI/LO switch in the HI position, the VEB is

activated (both the exhaust pressure governor and com
pression brake are switched on).
In addition to satisfying exhaust brake prerequisites, the

following conditions must be met:
Coolant tem perature above 70C (158F).
Vehicle speed must be greater than 12 km/h Fig. 20: Engine brake switches for W G and AC
(7.5 mph).
Dual tw o-position switches:
Engine tem perature must be above 43C (110F).

D12C
The EPG on the D12C has a new air valve. The valve is
located on the right, rear edge of the engine block and is
controlled by current from the EECU. There are two
on/off valves and two reduction valves in the valve body.
T2012788
Fig. 22: Exhaust Pressure Governor, D12C

EPG Control Valve

The exhaust pressure governor is controlled by a valve
that regulates air pressure to the EPG.
The exhaust pressure governor operates using two dif

ferent pressures:
When the exhaust pressure governor is activated

during starting and keeping the engine warm, the
control valve provides a control pressure of approxi
mately 200 kPa (29 psi).
When the exhaust pressure governor is activated for

engine braking, the control valve provides a control
pressure of approxim ately 750 kPa (110 psi).
D12A
The D12A is provided with two solenoid valves, one for
controlling the starting and engine warm ing pressure
and one for controlling the pressure fo r engine braking.
Both solenoid valves are located in a bracket on the
cylinder head.
D12B
The D12B is provided with an EPG control valve that
W2002624
controls both the starting and engine warm ing pressure,
Fig. 23: EPG control valve, D12B
and the pressure for engine braking. The valve is located
at the lower rear edge on the right-hand side of the cylin
der block.

Air Restriction Indicator

There are several types of restriction indicators which
can be mounted in certain locations, such as on the air
cleaner duct o r on/above the instrum ent panel. The air
restriction indicator mounted on the instrum ent panel
perm its continuous m onitoring o f the gauge.
W hen either the flag or piston-type restriction gauge is

mounted directly on the air cleaner, the piston is usually
drawn downward into view as the elem ent loads with dirt.
It locks into full view only after the restriction (caused by
a dirty elem ent) reaches the rated value of the indicator. Fig. 24: A ir restriction indicator WX, W G , AC(dash

Turbocharger
The turbocharger is driven by the exhaust gases from
the engine passing through the turbine housing on their
way out into the exhaust system.
The flow of exhaust gases causes the turbine wheel in

side the turbine housing to rotate. On the same shaft as
the turbine wheel is a com pressor wheel. The com pres
sor wheel is mounted in a housing which is connected
between the air cleaner and the intake manifold.
W hen the com pressor wheel starts to rotate, air is drawn

in from the air cleaner, com pressed and forced into the
cylinders of the engine but not before it has been
cooled down after passing through the charge air cooler.

Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Air Restriction Indicator, Checking
Low restriction readings may be difficult to identify. They
can result from a damaged elem ent gasket, ruptured
element, incorrectly installed elem ent or a leak in the en
gine air intake ducts and piping. W hen servicing the air
cleaner, make sure to check for these. A w ater m anom e
te r may also be used to check for service. A m axim um of
25 in. o f w ater (20 in. o f w ater measured at air cleaner
body outlet) is the limit of elem ent service and indicates
a need for replacement.
On turbocharged engines, connect the m anom eter to the

air intake pipe, one to tw o pipe diam eters upstream from
the turbocharger inlet, in a straight section of pipe. Tur
bocharged engines should be under full load long
enough to allow the turbocharger to reach maximum
speed.
N ote: Dust conditions and accum ulated mileage deter

mine the interval for replacing the air cleaner element.
The air cleaner should be inspected every 24,000 km
(15,000 m iles) and replaced as necessary. The air
cleaner elem ent should be replaced at least once a year
regardless of service or restriction indicator readings.

Oil Pump
The oil pump is a gear pump set in motion by an inter
mediate gear in the synchronized gearing. The pump is
made up of two gears that are turned in a w ell-sealed
casing. W hen gears turn, the oil is transported between
its teeth and the walls o f the pump casing. W hen the
teeth are geared, the oil is pumped out and inserted in
the lubrication system.
Oil Filter
One o f the purposes of the oil lubrication to clean up im
purities on the engine lubrication points and on the
bearings surface. The oil, then, accum ulates dirt that
needs to be cleaned up before it goes back to the lubri
cation points. The oil is roughly filtered while passing
through the oil manifold filter. In order to get rid of the
dirt particles, the D12C engine lubrication system is
equipped with three filters.
The oil filters are made up o f replaceable filtering ele

ments.
All the oil coming through the pump passes through the
filters before entering the engine.
Piston Cooling
W hen the engine is running, there usually is a buildup of
heat in the piston that, in some cases, needs an extra
cooling. The piston cooling is set in motion when the oil
pressure gets so high that the piston cooling valve in the
cylinder block opens up. The oil is then forced through
the engine block drilled galleries into the injection noz
zles o f piston cooling, one for each piston. The oil is
then pulverized on the bottom of the piston.

Conventional Control Systems

In principle, a conventional control system is constructed
so that one or several of the vehicle's com ponents have
their own control units that receive signals from different
sensors. Each control unit serves its own com ponent and
sends signals to other control units via electrical wires.
An example of this is the engine control unit that re

ceives signals from different sensors on the engine, as
well as from other control units on the vehicle. The ac
celerator pedal position, the clutch pedal position, the
speed signal, engaged power take-off etc., are sent to
the engine electronic control unit (EECU) via w ires from
different sensors and contacts.
The system must have one or more com m unication

ports, to which tools can be connected for programming
as well as for reading inform ation and any fault codes.
In the future, the vehicle's sub-com ponents will require

several specific control units and the vehicle electronics
will therefore become even more complex. In the long T3008752
run this will limit the ability of conventional control sys
tem s to fulfill their tasks.
37
Data Link System

Volvo's vehicle electronics are constructed on the princi
ple that all com m unications between the control units in
the system are accom plished via two data links:
the J1939 Control Data Link

and the J1587/1708 Information Data Link
The vehicle's main com ponents have their own control

units that are connected to one or both links in order to
be able to com m unicate with each other.
Here is how the system w orks on a vehicle equipped

with a Volvo engine: w hen the driver wants to increase
the vehicle's speed, a signal is sent from the accelerator
position sensor to the vehicle electronic control unit
(VECU). The signal is then transferred via the data link
to the engine electronic control unit (EECU).
The EECU com m unicates with its own sensors to verify

that the conditions exist to perm it increased acceleration.
If the conditions are met, it carries out the VEC U 's re
quest.
The EECU com m unicates with the other control units via
the data links, either by requesting or by receiving direct
inform ation that all prerequisites are met in order to be
able to carry out the request.
If an error should occur in any o f the systems, a signal is

sent out on the J1587/1708 information data link, which
makes it possible to read the inform ation, either on the
driver's instrum ent cluster, or via a PC or diagnostic tool
(i.e. Pro-Link, VCADS or VCADS Pro) connected to the
diagnostic connector.
The data link system provides an extrem ely flexible solu

tion with great potential for expansion.
/ j \ CAUTION
No modifications or connections should be made to
wires 406 (yellow), 407 (green) or 408 (shielded).
These wires carry the high-speed com m unications be
tween the electronic system s in the vehicle. Any
modification, connection to, or damage to these
wires can result in the failure of the vehicle's elec
tronic systems.
38
Data Links, Design and Function

Data links are one way of transferring information be
tween various components. In conventional systems,
analog signals have mostly been used.
Analog signals mean that different voltage levels repre

sent different values. A simplified example o f analog
signals could be:
1 volt = 1 0 C
2 volts = 2 0 C
3 volts = 3 0 C
Data links use digital comm unication. This means that

the voltage only varies between tw o different values, ei
th e r high or low. By combining these high and low
signals various values can be described.
The diagram shows an oscilloscope image w here the

voltage of the data link is measured. As can be seen
from the diagram, a large part o f the tim e the link is
silent but at tim es a num ber o f fast pulses are sent. A
group o f pulses is called a message.
The enlarged portion of the diagram shows that each

message consists o f a combination of high and low volt
age levels.
W3003957
The following sections describe w hat type o f information
this m essage contains.
39
Messages and Information Content

Different voltage levels are represented by the different
numbers in the binary num ber system. The binary num 0 10 10 10 1
ber system has only tw o numbers, one and zero.
The ones are norm ally represented by a high voltage

and the zeros by a low voltage. mi rr nn
Each binary num ber is called a bit. This m essage con
sists of four groups of binary numbers. Each group of
W3003956
eight bits makes up a byte, a decimal num ber from 0
255 with information, as well as a start bit and a stop bit.
The purpose of the start and stop bits is to function as

markers for where that group of data begins and ends.
In the diagram above only the start and stop bits are la
beled. The other information is shaded.
Example
The diagram shows the information content in the four
different parts of the message. The start and stop bits
are shaded since they do not contain any information.
The box in the diagram shows the different binary and

decimal values which com prise the message.
Note: The inform ation is sent over the data link with the
least bit first in the binary numbers. The normal way to
notate binary numbers is shown in the box in the
diagram.
40
W2003293
Message 1 4 4 -0 9 1 -0 0 0 -24 0 in this example, has the following meaning:
A MID 144 The message comes from the Vehicle ECU.
B PID 091 The message states the accelerator pedal position percentage.
C Data 000 The accelerator pedal is in the completely released position.
000 is a data component, which in this case states how much the accelerator pedal has been
pressed down. The value can vary between 000 for a completely released pedal and 255 for a com
pletely pressed down accelerator pedal.
D Check 240 The checksum is used as a check that the message is reasonable.
41
Diagnostic Message Description

The Society o f Autom otive Engineers (SAE) and the Am erican Trucking Association
(ATA) have developed a standardized list of diagnostic messages, or fault codes. These
diagnostic m essages are used to com m unicate information about problems detected
by an electronic control unit's (ECU's) self-diagnostic program. In addition to the
industry-standard SAE codes, Volvo has developed a list of diagnostic messages that
are unique to Volvo applications. Generally, diagnostic messages and their descriptions
are listed in the service manual for each respective ECU and in the user manual for di
agnostic tools.
MID MID is an acronym for M essage Identification Description. MIDs are SAE stan
dardized codes used to identify individual electronic control units.
PID PID is an acronym for Param eter Identification Description. PIDs are SAE stan
dardized codes used to identify param eters or values.
PPID PPID is an acronym for P roprietary Param eter Identification Description. PPIDs
are Volvo's unique codes used to identify param eters or values.
SID SID is an acronym for Subsystem Identification Description. SIDs are SAE stan
dardized codes used to identify components.
PSID PSID is an acronym for P roprietary Subsystem Identification Description. PSIDs

are Volvo's unique codes used to identify components.
FMI FMI is an acronym for Failure Mode Identifier. FMIs are SAE standardized codes
used to identify a type of failure.
42
Data Link Communication

General
Com m unication between the different ECUs takes place
via the two data links: the J1939 control data link and
the J1587/1708 inform ation data link.
The diagram shows how the control units, the diagnostic

connector, and the instrum ent cluster are connected in
principle.
The instrument cluster, the engine ECU and the diag

nostic connector are always included in the system.
The system may include other control units, depending
on the vehicle type, engine type and optional equipment.
43
SAE J1939 Control Data Link

The system 's control signals are sent via this link.
The J1939 link is very fast, operating at 250,000 bits per

second. This operating speed allows the system to func
tion more effectively and adapt quickly to changing
conditions and vehicle requirements.
The link com plies with SAE standards, and consists of

three twisted wires: a green wire (407), a yellow wire
(406) and in early deisgns a shield wire (408-optional).
The twisted wire set (40 turns per meter) is used to pro
tect the link from electrical interference.
/ j \ CAUTION
No modifications or connections should be made to
wires 406 (yellow), 407 (green) or 408 (shielded).
These wires carry the high-speed com m unications be
tronic systems.
44
Terminating Resistor
W3002905
Terminating resistors are w ired into each end of the
J1939 data link. One is located near the ABS ECU and
the other near the engine ECU. On Volvo engines, the
term inating resistor at the engine ECU end is located in
side the EECU.
If you m easure 120 ohm (+/- 10 ohm) between circuits

406 and 407, then there is only one term inatig resistor.
Check to determ ine which is missing and reconnect it.
Note: W ith Volvo engines, one term inating resistor is

within the engine ECU. The other is poitioned at the end
of the J1939 network, typically at the ABS ECU. The one
within the ECU is not accessible and should not be at
fault.
If you m easure less than 60 ohm, only two term inating

resistors are used in a vehicle. Never install three in one
truck. If more than two term inating resistors exist in the
J1939 circuit, dam age to the ECU electronics can occur
over time. You can easily check to see if you have two
resistors by m easuring the resistance between circuits
406 and 407 with the ignition OFF. The correct resis
tance is 60 .
The purpose of these resistors is to prevent data link

signal reflections. They must remain connected for the
system to function properly.
45
SAE J1587/1708 Information Data Link

Information and diagnostic signals are sent via this
link. The link also functions as a backup should the
J1939 control data link fail to function for any reason.
SAE J1708 is a standard that specifies hardware and a

databus speed of 9600 bits per second. SAE J1587 is a
protocol that provides a standard method for exchanging
inform ation between microprocessors.
The J1587 link consists of tw o w ires (400 and 401) that

are twisted around each other approx. 30 turns per me
ter. The tw isted-pair wires are to protect the link against
electrical interference.
/ j \ CAUTION
If a circuit must be added to the electrical system, and
will carry high currents or frequencies, route it in a lo
cation AWAY from wires 400 and 401 to prevent
mutual inductance from interfering with data link func
tions.
/ j \ CAUTION
W ires 400 and 401 MUST NOT be cut or spliced for
any connections. These wires are used for the trans
mission of data for diagnostic m essages and gauges.
M odifying this circuit can cause these functions to fail.
SAE J1922 Data Link

For a short period o f tim e some vehicles w ere produced
which used the J1922 data link. The J1922 data link was
developed as an interim standard until the J1939 control
data link was established. The J1922 link operates on
J1708 defined hardware and is used like a control link
for com m unication between engine, transm ission and
ABS ECUs.
The J1922 link consists of tw o w ires (404 and 405) that

are twisted around each other approx. 30 turns per me
ter. The tw isted-pair wires are to protect the link against
electrical interference.
46
Diagnostic Connector
W8001310
The diagnostic connector is a round Deutsch connector
located in the driver's side kick panel. The diagnostic
connector is connected to the J1587/1708 information
link and gives the system a way to com m unicate with an
external P C or diagnostic tool.
W ith a P C or diagnostic tool connected, fault codes can

be read from all the control units. This is im portant in
fault tracing to carry out basic checks of all the vital
parts of the vehicle's electronics.
Som e program m ing can also be done via the diagnostic

connector.
The standard diagnostic connector is a 6 -p in Deutsch. A

newer 9 -p in Deutsch version has been introduced on
certain vehicle/engine variants. The new 9 -p in connector
connects to both the J1939 and J1587/1708 data links.

Pro-Driver Display
Various m anufacturers offer com m unication equipm ent

designed to allow drivers to keep log book records elec
tronically, m aintain com m unication with the home office,
m onitor and record vehicle operations, and many other
functions. Currently these com m unication devices are
connected to the J1587/1708 Information Data Link.
Newer and more sophisticated versions of these devices
may also connect to the J1939 Control Data Link. Note:
No provisions have currently been made to add com m u
nication equipm ent to the J1939 link in afterm arket
adaptations.
/ j \ CAUTION
No m odifications or connections should be made to
w ires 406 (yellow), 407 (green) or 408 (shielded).
These w ires carry the high-speed com m unications be
tronic systems.
Provisions are made for adding afterm arket com m unica

tion devices to the J1587/1708 link via connectors in the
w iring harness.
Some of the com m unication devices currently used in

Volvo trucks include Road Relay, Pro-Driver, Qualcomm
and Highway Master.
48
Instrument Cluster
The instrum ent cluster used on Volvo vehicles uses both

data link signals and hardwired sensors depending on
the vehicle/engine variant and instrum ent configuration.
A graphic display screen is integrated into the instrum ent
cluster to provide additional features and vehicle system
inform ation not available from other gauges. Diagnostic
codes can also be retrieved and displayed. The instru
ment cluster is connected to the J1587/1708 information
data link.

Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU)
The vehicle electronic control unit (VECU) is part of the

integrated vehicle electronics. The VECU is located in the
cab, but its specific mounting location varies by model.
The main function of the VECU is to collect data from

different cab control units and then to pass this data to
other ECUs in the system (prim arily to the engine ECU).

ON/OFF Engine Cooling Fan

The EECU receives the input from the engine coolant
tem perature sensor to turn on the cooling fan at 115 C
(202 F). The fan will remain engaged until the engine
coolant drops to 90 C (195 F).
The ON/O FF cooling fan can also be engaged by the

EECU if it receives a signal from the air conditioning sys
tem s APADS module. W hen the A/C system pressure
reaches 20.5 bar (300 psi) the APADS module will send
a signal to the EECU to engage the cooling fan. The on
tim e of the cooling fan is controlled by the APADS m od
ule.
Ifth e EECU does not receive any coolant tem perature

data, the fan is engaged for a m inim um of 30 seconds.
The fan will stay engaged until valid coolant tem perature
data is received and the coolant tem perature drops be
low 90 C (195 F).
Converting Engine Oil Pressure Signal

The EECU takes an analog signal from a pressure trans
ducer and broadcasts the signal on the SAE J1587 data
link.
Engine Information and Warning Lamp-On Dash

Engine Oil Pressure
The EECU will make the A STOP lamp light and the
icon in the display light up if the oil pressure is < 41
3 kPa (6 1.2 psi). Also a warning signal sounds
if the engine is running.
Engine Coolant Level
The EECU will make the A STOP lamp light stay on
(solid) if the low coolant level sensor detects a low
coolant level condition. The low coolant level condi
tion is active only after 5 seconds o f a constant
signal from the low level sensor.
Engine Coolant Temperature
The EECU will make the A STOP lamp light illumi
nate and gauge LED illuminate, plus the icon in the
display if a high coolant tem perature from the en
gine ECU is received.
Engine Oil Temperature
If the Engine oil tem perature becomes too high an
inform ation m essage is shown autom atically with
the text HIGH. A t the same tim e the yellow AIN FO
lamp under the display lights up. The engine may
also derate, if it is set up to do so in the engine
ECU programming. The tem perature which activates
this warning varies for different engines. This
tem perature is set in the engine ECU. For Volvo en
gines, it is 275 F (135 C).
Note: If the engine is running and the stop lamp comes

on you will get a buzzer or warning signal.
53
Electronic Unit Injectors

The engine has six unit injectors, one for each cylinder.
Each Electronic Unit Injector , or EUI, is a com bination

of injection pump and injector, but operates at a consid
erably higher pressure than a standard injector.
Each unit injector is m ounted vertically in the cylinder

head at each cylinder, centered between the four valves.
The com pressive force for the unit injector is developed
by a lobe on the overhead camshaft. It is then trans
ferred by a rocker arm to the injector.
The injection angle and the am ount of fuel to be injected

into the cylinder is determ ined by the EECU, which
transm its signals to the electrom agnetically controlled
fuel valve in the unit injector valve housing.
/ j \ DANGER
Make sure to turn the ignition key off before working
on the electronic unit injectors. This elim inates the
possibility of electric shock which may result in per
sonal injury or death.
Electronic unit injector
Calculating Fuel Quantities

The EECU calculates the quantity of fuel to be injected
into a cylinder. This calculation provides the period of
tim e during which the fuel valve is closed (when the fuel
valve is closed, fuel is injected into the cylinder). Factors
that determ ine how much fuel to inject into a cylinder are:
Requested fuel amount
Limitation of fuel amount
Flywheel
There are 54 notches cut into the flywheel; these are
read by the speed sensor for the flywheel. W ith the help
of these notches, the EECU can set the correct injection
angle and calculate the tim e which gives the correct fuel
amount.
The notches are divided into three groups, with 18

notches in each group. There is a flat area between
each group of notches equivalent to 18. A flat area and
18 notches is equivalent to 1 2 0 on the flywheel, or a
third of a full turn. The area between each notch equals
6 on the flywheel.
Flywheel
54
Cam Sensor Wheel

The cam sensor wheel has six teeth (one tooth for each
unit injector) evenly spaced at 60 center-to-center, plus
an extra tooth, placed 15 before the tooth that indicates
cylinder num ber 1.
The EECU uses these teeth to determ ine w hich injector

is in line for injection. In other words, each tooth (teeth
1 -6 ) represents the start of a cylinder operating phase
(does not apply to the extra tooth).
Flywheel and Cam Sensor Wheel

The ratio between the flywheel and cam sensor is 2:1.
This means that when the flywheel has rotated two
turns, the cam sensor wheel has rotated one turn or
when the flywheel has rotated 3 0 , the cam sensor
w heel has rotated 15 and so on.
55
Injector Operational Phases

The operational phase of the num ber 1 cylinder is given
in the following example. Fuel is injected at 7 before top
dead center (BTDC) (the injection angle may vary be
tw een 1 8 BTDC and 6 after top dead center).
The cam sensor reacts to the extra tooth on the cam

sensor wheel. This informs the control unit that the next
tooth in turn (tooth 1) indicates the num ber 1 cylinder.
T2007100
Locating number 1 cylinder
A top dead center (TDC)
The cam sensor wheel detects tooth 1 and the flywheel

sensor reaches a flat area on the flywheel at the same
time.
At this point, the piston is on its way upward in the cylin

der and no fuel is injected into the cylinder.
T2007101
Engine speed calculated
A top dead center (TDC)
The sensor detects the first notch after a flat area on the
flywheel. Using the engine speed calculation, the EECU
can determ ine:
W hen to begin injecting fuel into the num ber 1 cylin

der. This gives selected injection angle (7 BTDC in
the example).
W hen to stop injecting fuel into the num ber 1 cylin

der. This gives the selected fuel amount. Calculating injection angle
A TDC
B 7 BTDC (injection begins)
C ATDC (injection stops)
56
From the first notch after a flat area, the EECU ad

vances the angle from w hich it is to begin injecting fuel
into the cylinder and on to the angle w here it is to stop
injecting fuel into the cylinder. If the calculated angles do
not agree with the notches on the flywheel, the EECU
m easures the tim e between the last notches to rectify
the angles.
Because the EECU m ust calculate the engine speed

during 120, the engine speed calculation for each cylin
der occurs one step ahead at all times. In other words,
during the operational phase for one cylinder, the EECU
calculates engine speed for the next cylinder and so on.
This procedure is repeated for the next cylinder in the

same m anner as described for the num ber 1 cylinder.
Note: Note that the calculation of the injection angle and

fuel am ount takes place continuously, regardless of the
operational phase o f the cylinders.
Cylinder Balancing
The EECU can provide each cylinder with a different
quantity o f fuel to make the engine run more sm oothly at
idling speeds. A t higher speeds, there are no problems
with smooth running and all cylinders receive the same
am ount o f fuel. If the variation in fuel quantity between
different cylinders is too great during cylinder balancing,
the EUI, which deviates most, triggers a fault code from
31 to 36. This indicates that there m ust be a fault in the
cylinder in question.
For cylinder balancing to take place, the following condi

tions must be satisfied:
Idling speed must be below 650 rpm.

Fuel requirem ent must be below a specific rating.
Idling adjustm ent function m ust not be active.
PTO not active.
Cruise control mode not active.
A ccelerator pedal in idling position.
C oolant tem perature must be above 50 C (122 F).
Vehicle m ust be at a standstill.
No fault codes in existence.
57
Other Functions
The EECU guides the EUIs based on the following con
trol functions.
Smoke limitation To prevent injecting too much fuel

into the cylinder, the EECU checks:
Boost pressure
Engine speed
Boost air tem perature
PTO engine speed The engine can be kept at a con

stant rpm level that is at least 100 rpm greater than low
idle and less than high idle.
Cruise control The engine can be set to maintain a

constant speed between 48 km/h (30 mph) and 140
km/h (87 mph). For the cruise control mode to function,
the following conditions must be satisfied:
Cruise control in ON position.
Brake pedal m ust not be depressed.
Clutch pedal must not be depressed.
Speed limitation The EECU can be programmed to

limit the m aximum speed up to 140 km/h (87 mph). A
fault on the sensor signal and/or a faulty cable to the
EECU generates a fault code.
Differentiated speed limitation This mode is avail

able as an option. It limits the speed to various levels
depending on the gear selected. In other words, each
gear has a maximum speed.
58
Engine protection To a certain extent, the EECU can

also protect the engine by:
Reducing engine speed at low coolant tem peratures

(cold engine cranking): W hen coolant tem perature is
lower than 50 C (122 F), engine speed is limited
during a specific tim e to 1000 rpm im m ediately after
starting. At -2 0 C (-4 F) and lower, this period is
16 seconds, and above 50 C (122 F) the period is
0 second. This function allows oil pressure to build
up before engine speeds become too high.
Engine speed during cold cranking
Reducing engine output at high coolant tem pera

tures (during engine operation): Should coolant
tem perature exceed 102 C (216 F), the maximum
fuel provision is reduced by a certain percentage of
its original rating and the coolant tem perature w arn
ing lamp lights up. If the coolant tem perature
becomes excessively high, the engine will gradually
reduce power to 50%. W hen coolant tem perature
has dropped below 100 C (212 F), m aximum fuel
provision is perm itted again and the coolant tem per
ature warning lamp goes out.
Engine speed during operation
The safety signal is an optional system that enables the

EECU too switch off the engine. The EECU can be pro
gram m ed to provide three levels of engine protection:
No engine protection (fire engine)
Engine protection
Extended engine protection
59
Idle shutdown This function is available as an option.

It switches off the engine after it has run at idling speed
for a specific time. This tim e can be set to between 1
and 40 minutes. The engine will be switched o ff if the fol
lowing conditions are met:
Vehicle speed is 0.
Parking brake is applied.
Engine running at idle speed.
Coolant tem perature is above 45 C (113 F).
Cold starts, idling Idling speed is autom atically

boosted to heat the engine more quickly from a cold start
when coolant tem perature is below a specific level. W hen
this mode is activated, idling speed is boosted to 650
rpm. W hen coolant tem perature has reached 30 C (86
F), idling speed drops steadily to its norm al level which
is reached at a coolant tem perature of 45 C (113 F).
60
Starting the engine
Before any fuel can be injected into the cylinders, the

EECU must have had a sufficient am ount of tim e to
carry out the first calculations on injection angles and
fuel quantities. This tim e is equivalent to two engine rev
olutions.
VEB (VOLVO engine brake)
The VEB consists o f an exhaust brake and a com pres

sion brake. The EECU activates the VEB when the
following conditions are satisfied:
A ccelerator pedal at idling position (fuel injection

m ust not occur).
Engine speed must exceed 1200 rpm.
Boost pressure m ust be lower than 152 kPa (22 psi)

(overpressure).
PTO not activated.
Vehicle speed is greater than 3.2 km/h (2 mph).
ABS not activated.
Engine coolant tem perature is greater than 40 2

C (104 5 F).
Engine oil tem perature is greater then 55 C (130

F).
The VEB may be activated when the cruise control is in

use. For this to take place, the following condition must
be satisfied:
Vehicle road speed m ust exceed the set speed of

the cruise control by between 5 and 30 km/h (4 and
20 mph), depending on w hat level has been pro
gram med into the EECU.
61

ABS Brake System ECU
The ABS ECU continuously m onitors wheel speed and

helps to control braking in exterm e situations. It also
helps prevent w heel spin in vehicles equipped with trac
tion control system s (ATC or TCS).
The ABS ECU is connected to the J1939 control data

link and the J1587/1708 inform ation data link.
Note: Early production model ABS ECUs may be con

nected to the J1587/1708 and J1922 data link or have
no data link connection at all.
For detailed inform ation about ABS system s see the ap

propriate service literature for the type of ABS system
used on the vehicle.
63
SRS Airbag ECU
The Supplem ental Restraint System (SRS) ECU senses

frontal collisions with two rapid deceleration sensors.
The SRS ECU will deploy the airbag module in the
steering wheel if a collision of sufficient force and dura
tion is detected.
The SRS ECU is connected to the J1587/1708 inform a

tion data link. For detailed inform ation about the SRS
see S u p p le m e n t a l R e s t r a in t S y s t e m ( S R S ) , V N L , V N M ,
Volvo service publication num ber PV776-TS P 21771/1.
Note: The SRS system is not available on all models.
64
Transmission ECU
The transm ission electronic control unit (ECU) receives

signals directly from switches and sensors and via the
data links. Based on those inputs, the transm ission ECU
controls transm ission operation via solenoid valves and
switches. The transm ission ECU also supplies system
status and diagnostic information.
The transm ission ECU is connected to both the J1939

control data link and the J1587/1708 inform ation data
link.
Note: Early production model transm ission ECUs may

be connected to the J1587/1708 and J1922 data links.
F or detailed inform ation about transm ission ECUs see

the service literature for that particular transm ission.
65
Breakout Boxes and Harnesses

The harness adapters are used to gain access to the
EECU, the VECU, the throttle pedal and certain other
sensors on the engine, w hile the circuit is intact. This al
lows the technician and vehicle to take m easurem ents
on functional circuits.
Example:
The 36-pin breakout box allows the technician to

measure resistance and voltage on the EECUs EA con
nector (which covers the engine mounted com ponents)
and the EB connector (which covers the rem aining com
ponents involved).
/ l \ CAUTION
Check that the proper cable and connector location is
observed and used while connectin to the ECU.
Ohterwise, dam age to the ECU or tool will occur.

VECU Overview
The Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) receives
inputs and generates output signals for functions associ
ated with cab devices. It also converts inform ation into
digital data to be broadcast over the J1587/1708 Infor
mation Link and the J1939 Control Link.
N ote: The VECU may also be referred to as the Cab

C ontroller on the graphics display o f the VN series dash
and in some Volvo publications.
VECU Programming
Each VECU is program m ed with specific vehicle
perform ance characteristics corresponding to custom er-
ordered options for that particular vehicle. This dataset is
stored in the VECU m em ory, making the VECU unique
to each vehicle.
For this reason, it is not possible to swap a suspected

faulty VECU with one from another vehicle w ithout repro
gram m ing the replacem ent VECU.
R eplacem ent VEC U s are program m ed using the VCADS

Pro tool. Program m ing is based on the particular dataset
that matches the vehicle; datasets are stored in the
Volvo Data Adm inistration (VDA) database. Authorized
technicians can update and/or alter software datasets,
change custom er parameters, and perform campaigns.
For more inform ation about the proper operation o f the

VCADS Pro tool and VECU programming, please refer
to Information on VCADS Pro in Group O. This manual
is also available as a pdf file within VCADS Pro tool lo
cated under Help.
N ote: C ustom er param eter changes are not stored in

the VDA database. Therefore, after a replacem ent VECU
is program m ed for the vehicle, it will have to be cus
tom ized to include those custom er alterations.
67
VECU Functions
The following functions are monitored or controlled by
the VECU. Only the functions needed for each specific
vehicle/engine application are wired and programmed
into the VECU.
Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal signals travel first to the VECU
and are transferred to the Engine Electronic Control Unit
(EECU) via the J1939 Control Link.
If there is a fault in the J1939 Control Link, the accelera

to r pedal signal travels to the EECU via the J587/1708
Information Link. The vehicle can also be driven in the
limp hom e mode is there is a fault in both links. In this
situation, the idle validation switch is used to determ ine
when the accelerator pedal is pressed; then, the VECU
sends a buffered idle validation switch signal (via hard
w ire) to the EECU.
Second Accelerator Pedal

If the vehicle is equipped with a second accelerator
pedal, the second accelerator pedal signals travel first to
the VECU and are transferred to the Engine Electronic
Control Unit (EECU) via the J1939 Control Link.
A road speed limit may be programmed into the VECU

to limit vehicle speed when the second accelerator pedal
is being used. Second accelerator pedal road speed limit
can be programmed using the VCADS Pro tool.
Speedometer
The speed signal comes from a sensor on the transm is
sion or as a digital signal, if an electronically-controlled
transm ission (Allison) is used. The VECU then sends the
vehicle speed signal on both the J1939 Control Link and
J1587/1708 Information Link. The signal on the J1939
Control Link is used to control vehicle operation. The
signal on the J1587/1708 Information Link is collected by
the instrum ent cluster and is displayed on the
speedometer.
Cruise Control
The VECU receives signals from the cruise control
switch and sends signals to the EECU via the J1939
Control Link. Cruise control param eters can be pro
grammed with the VCADS Pro too.
68
Power Take-Off (PTO)

PTO functions are controlled by the VECU through the
cruise control switch. Basic or optional PTO param eters
can be programmed with the VCADS Pro tool.
Ignition Switch
Ignition switch positions are recognized by the VECU,
w hich transfers the ignition switch position inform ation to
the EECU.
Idle Shut-Down
Tim ed engine shut-off can be controlled by the VECU as
a custom er option. Idle shut-down tim e can be pro
gram med with the VCADS Pro tool.
Engine Brake
The control for the engine brake (including the exhaust
pressure governor [EPG] and com pression brake [VCB],
if installed) are monitored by the VECU. A t the request
o f the ABS ECU, the VECU can de-activate the engine
brake.
Windshield Wipers
W indshield w iper function on the VN and VHD (with
Volvo engine) is controlled by the VECU using signals
received from the w iper switch.
Calibration Number
The calibration num ber (K factor) is a m easurem ent of
Drivetrain Constant Pulses per M ile and is used by the
VECU to determ ine vehicle speed and distance traveled.
The calibration num ber is calculated by multiplying tire
revolutions per mile x rear axle ratio x num ber of
teeth on the transm ission output shaft chopper w heel.
The calibration num ber is programmed into the VECU

using the VCADS Pro tool.
69
Optional Engine Speed Limit

Optional engine speed limit is the maximum speed at
which the engine can be operated with the vehicle at
zero road speed and the PTO mode engaged. Optional
engine speed limit param eters can be programmed with
the VCADS Pro tool.
Optional Vehicle Speed Limit

Optional vehicle speed limit allows for an optional switch
to limit vehicle speed. Typically, this switch is operated
on the vehicle by someone other than the driver, such as
a garbage collector who rides on the back o f the vehicle.
Optional vehicle speed limit param eters can be pro
grammed with the VCADS Pro tool.
Note: Basic vehicle speed limit is set by the EECU.
Shut-Down Request
Optional engine shut-down request is made via a remote
mounted switch (the ignition switch is the basic engine
shut-down request). A fter the VECU receives the shut
down request, the request is sent to the EECU via the
J1939 Control Link. Shut-down request is enabled using
the VCADS Pro tool.
Note: The engine shut-down request function should not

be considered or used as an em ergency shut-down.
Torque Limit
Torque limit 1 and 2 are used to limit drive line torque.
Torque limit param eters can be programmed with the
VCADS Pro tool.
Engine Fan Request

The VECU receives the request for engine fan operation
from either a manual switch or a high pressure A/C re
frigerant switch. The VECU then transfers the request to
the EECU via the J1939 Control Link.
Brake/Clutch Status Switches

The VECU recognizes the position o f the brake, clutch,
and parking brake. Various VECU functions (i.e. cruise
control or PTO) operate only w hen these switches are in
the proper position.
70
Safety Warnings/Cautions
Always w e a r approved eye protection.
To avoid personal injury and damage to the vehicle,

always refer to and follow the vehicle m anufacturers
W ARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and service procedures.

Reading/Clearing Fault Codes

Fault codes can be read and cleared using the VCADS
Pro tool or the Pro-Link tool with Volvo application car
tridge. See the appropriate service inform ation for details
on reading and clearing fault codes using VCADS Pro or
Pro-Link tools.
On V N -series vehicles, fault codes also can be accessed,

read, and cleared via the instrum ent cluster graphic dis
play. Clearing fault codes is password protected. For
information, see Instrum entation VN, from 3/99 and
VHD, Volvo Service Publication P V 776 -T S P 1 3 9 7 9 0 .
The Data Link Instrum ent cluster used W X -series vehi

Measurement at the Components Connector, to the VECU

In this procedure, the com ponent Is disconnected and
m easurem ents are made at specific pin locations on the
w iring harness end of the connector. Measurements
usually Involve supply, ground, and signal w ire connec
tions through the w iring harness and VECU.
Breakout boxes or harnesses may be used to assist in

taking m easurements. M easurem ents outside expected
values may indicate faults in the w iring or in the VECU
itself
Check of Component
In this procedure, the com ponent is disconnected and
m easurem ents are made at specific pin locations on the
com ponent w iring harness or directly to the component.
The com ponent is usually a sensor or switch; it is identi
fied at the beginning of each check.
Breakout boxes or harnesses may be used to assist in

taking m easurements. M easurem ents outside expected
values may indicate faults in the com ponent or in the
w iring to the component.
89
Check of the Subsystem

In this procedure, the VECU is disconnected, a breakout
box is connected between the VECU and w iring harness,
and m easurem ents are made at specific pin locations on
the breakout box. This check is made to measure the
voltage that is present at the VECU with the circuit intact.
M easurem ents outside expected values may indicate

faults in the com ponent, wiring, o r VECU.
Tests Using the VCADS Pro Tool

The VCAD S Pro tool is a W indows95-based PC tool
that is used to program, test, and read inform ation from
the VECU and EECU.
A num ber of real tim e tests can be perform ed by con

necting the VCAD S Pro tool to the vehicles diagnostic
connector. If a test in the VCAD S Pro tool may be of
benefit when troubleshooting a specific fault code, that
test will be referenced in the section titled, A ppropriate
tests in the VCAD S Pro tool.
N ote: Not all tests will apply to all vehicle variants. W hen
starting VCAD S Pro, menu selections for various vehi
cles and engines are entered. Only those tests that
apply will be available fo r selection.

be grounded through the EECU. Preheating is standard on the D7C engine with one
preheat relay/element. Preheating is optional on the D12B engine with tw o preheat re
lays/elements.

Design and Function

Engine Brake
W2000702
1 Camshaft 3 Exhaust Pressure Governor 5 Control valve
2 Shutter 4 Rocker arm 6 Oil pipe
The Volvo Engine Brake consists of tw o different sys

tems, the e x h a u s t b ra ke and the c o m p re s s io n brake.
In the VEB, both system s operate at the same time.
Exhaust Brake
The exhaust pressure governor includes a shutter,
m ounted in the exhaust side of the turbocharger. This
shutter, which is connected to the exhaust pressure gov
ernor plunger, restricts the exhaust gas flow when
activated. Braking is achieved during the exhaust stroke
by the backpressure created w hen the exhaust gas flow
is blocked.
Compression Brake
The com pression brake controls the opening of exhaust
valves during the engine com pression and combustion
(operating) stroke. This creates backpressure in the
com bustion cham ber which, in turn, has a braking effect.
On engines with com pression brakes, the cam shaft has

tw o extra lobes on each exhaust cam profile. The lift
height of the extra lobes is very low compared to that of
norm al exhaust lobes. To enable the extra lobes to open
the exhaust valves, the exhaust rocker arm s are ar
ranged in a manner which reduces valve clearance
during the braking sequence.

Control Valve (VEB)
T2007789
Fig. 1: Engine in operation, the control valve solenoid valve not activated
T2007788
Fig. 2: V E B engine braking, the control valve solenoid valve activated
8
The control valve is mounted on the cylinder head under

the valve cover and is connected to the oil system ahead
of the rocker arm shaft. Its purpose is to reduce oil pres
sure to the rocker arm s while the engine is operating.
There is always full system oil pressure to the control
valve inlet (1). A pipe connects the inlet to the lube oil
gallery in the cylinder block. Oil pressure to the rocker
arm shaft can be increased by a solenoid valve (2)
mounted on the control valve, from about 100 kPa (14.5
psi) w hile the engine is operating to over 200 kPa (29
psi) during com pression braking.
During engine operation, the springs' force and oil pres

sure in the oil cham ber hold the control valve plunger in
balance. This action reduces oil pressure.
W hen the solenoid valve is activated, the oil cham ber (6)
is drained and the spring (4) presses the plunger (3) to
its end position. The plunger com pletely opens the oil
outlet (5) and the oil pressure to the rocker arm shaft is
increased.

Camshaft (VEB)
On engines with a com pression brake, the cam shaft has
an induction lobe (1) and decom pression lobe (2) in ad
dition to the normal exhaust lobe (3) on each cam profile
for the exhaust valves. The induction and decom pression
lobe lift height is 0.8 mm (0.032 in.) above the basic cir
cle, which is equivalent to about 1.1 mm (0.043 in.) at
the valve bridge. The induction lobe is positioned to
open the exhaust valves at the end of the intake stroke
and hold them open at the beginning of the compression
stroke. The decom pression lobe is positioned to open
the exhaust valves at the end of the com pression stroke.
The valve clearance must be zero for the induction and

decom pression lobes to open the exhaust valves.

Exhaust Rocker Arms (VEB)

The exhaust rocker arm s on an engine with a com pres
sion brake are larger than those of a conventional
engine.
The rocker arm is equipped with a non-return valve and

a plunger with a pressure-lim iting valve. Its purpose is to
regulate oil flow during com pression braking.
Spring-tab pressure holds the rocker arm at the rest po

sition against the valve bridge.
Valve clearance is greater on an engine w ithout a com

pression brake, as the induction and decom pression
lobes m ust not open the exhaust valves while the engine
is operating.

Non-Return Valve (VEB)

There is a non-return valve, consisting of a plunger (1),
spring (2) and ball (3) in the rocker arm. W hen oil from
the rocker arm shaft is forced into the valve, the spring
force and the oil pressure determ ine movem ent of the
plunger.
W hen the oil pressure is low, about 100 kPa (14.5 psi),
the control valve is in its engine operating position. Dur
ing this time, the plunger (1) will not move out of its rest
position because the oil pressure cannot overcom e the
spring force. The plunger pin prevents the ball (3) from
seating and the oil can flow freely through the valve in
both directions. W2000704
Fig. 6: Non-return valve during engine operation
W hen the control valve takes up the position fo r com
pression braking, oil pressure to the non-return valve
increases. The spring force in the non-return valve is
such that w hen the oil pressure exceeds about 200 kPa
(29 psi), it overcom es the spring force and moves the
plunger (1) to w here it no longer controls the ball (3).
The spring (5) forces the ball against its seat and the oil
contained above the plunger (4) cannot flow past the ball
(3). As a result, high oil pressure is form ed above the
plunger (4).

Rocker Arm Plunger

The purpose of the plunger is to zero-set the valve clear
ance during com pression braking.
Engine Operation
W hen the engine is operating, there is reduced oil pres
sure through the control valve to the rocker arm shaft,
and the rocker arm non-return valve (1) is open. Oil can
flow freely through the non-return valve in both direc
tions. Therefore, no oil pressure is built up between the
rocker arm plunger (2) and the rocker arm.
The set valve clearances are great enough to prevent

the cam shaft induction and decom pression lobes from
opening the exhaust valves.
The valve mechanism operates as it w ould on an engine

w ithout a com pression brake. That is, only the exhaust
lobe opens the exhaust valves.
T2006828
Fig. 8: Rocker arm plunger during engine operation
1 Non-return valve
Compression Braking
During com pression braking, an oil pressure of at least
200 kPa (29 psi) is delivered to the rocker arm shaft as
the control valve does not reduce the oil pressure.
The pressure in the rocker arm non-return valve (1) in

creases enough to move the plunger in the non-return
valve from its rest position, and the ball now functions as
a non-return valve. Pressure builds up between the
rocker arm plunger (2) and the rocker arm. The plunger
moves out and forces the rocker arm roller against the
lobes on the camshaft. The valve clearance is eliminated
and the lift height on the induction and decom pression
lobes is sufficient to open the exhaust valves. The rocker
arm plunger is equipped with a pressure-lim iting valve
(3). W hen oil pressure between the rocker arm plunger
and the rocker arm becomes too high, the pressure-
limiting valve opens and oil can exit through the hole in
the bottom of the plunger. The opening pressure of the
pressure-lim iting valve is governed by the force of the
valve spring.

Engine Braking
Control System, D12 and D12 A
W ith the com plete release of the accelerator pedal, the
engine brake is activated according to the selection made
on the dash board, but only if certain conditions are met:
A ccelerator pedal must be fully released (fuel injec

tion must not occur).
Engine speed must be greater than 1100 rpm.
Boost pressure must be lower than 150 kPa (22 psi).
C onstant engine speed mode (PTO) must not be

activated.
Engine brake disabled, input must not be activated

(ABS).
Vehicle speed must be greater than 3.2 km/h (2

mph).
Engine tem perature must be higher than the follow

p/n 3985349 6 7 C (158F)
As an additional option, the engine brake may be en

abled autom atically if the vehicle exceeds a specified
cruise control limit. If this option is selected, the engine
brake may be applied at a selectable speed from 6.4 to
32 km/h (4 to 20 mph) above the cruise control set
speed.
12
Switches
On the dash the switches for the engine brake have dif
ferent configurations. W ith the tw o dual-position
switches, the brake system is activated by placing one of
the switches in ON position. The HI/LO switch, in the HI
position, selects both the exhaust brake and the com
pression brake (Volvo engine brake or VEB). In the LO
position, only the exhaust brake is selected.
W3002827
Fig. 11: D ual-position switches for Engine brake
The engine brake switches are on som e truck models re

placed by a single three-position switch. As with the
switches above it also regulates the engine brake for the
cruise control.
The three position switch has the following selection:
1 No engine brake engaged

2 Exhaust brake, EPG Fig. 12: Three-position switch for engine brake
3 Exhaust brake and com pression brake
Exhaust Brake
D uring exhaust braking, control pressure of about 752
kPa (109 psi) activates the exhaust pressure governor.
The exhaust pressure governor plunger is activated and
the shutter connected to the plunger restricts the flow of
exhaust gases out of the cylinders.
Restricting the flow of exhaust gases creates a back

pressure between the shutter and the piston crowns.
This provides a braking effect on the pistons as the ex
haust valves open.
The higher the engine speed during exhaust braking, the

greater the braking effect.
T2006832
13
Compression Brake
T he e x h a u s t b ra ke is a lw a ys e n g a g e d w ith th e c o m
p re s s io n b ra ke . This is because the com pression brake
induction phase fully utilizes the backpressure created
by the exhaust brake in the exhaust manifold.
Induction Phase
The induction phase begins at the end of the intake
stroke and continues slightly into the com pression stroke.
The piston travels downward toward bottom dead center

and the cam shaft induction lobe opens the exhaust
valves long enough to fill the cylinder with the backpres
sure created by the exhaust brake in the exhaust
manifold.
W hen the induction lobe closes the exhaust valves, the

cylinder has a backpressure at the start of the com pres
sion stroke. This backpressure increases com pression
considerably during the com pression stroke which, in
turn, creates a powerful braking effect when the piston
moves upward.
Fig. 14: Induction phase
Decompression pPhase
At the end of the com pression stroke, as the piston ap
proaches top dead center, the cam shaft decom pression
lobe opens the exhaust valves and releases the pressure
from the cylinder. Shortly before bottom dead center, the
ordinary exhaust lobe opens the exhaust valves. During
the exhaust stroke, a backpressure is created in the ex
haust manifold. This has a braking effect because the
exhaust pressure governor shutter is closed.

VEB Troubleshooting, Order to

Follow
If the fault remains after correcting any indicated fault
codes, and the engine and electrical system function
normally, troubleshooting should be performed in the fol
lowing order:
1
Begin troubleshooting by attem pting to establish which of
the brake system s is faulty (exhaust brake, compression
brake, or both systems).
2
Verify that the following preconditions for e x h a u s t b ra k
in g are satisfied, with the switch(es) on the instrum ent
panel in the O N /LO W (exhaust brake only) positions.
A ccelerator pedal position at 0% (idle position)

Clutch pedal not depressed
Engine speed should be greater than 1100 RPM
PTO not activated
Vehicle speed should be greater than
3 km/h (2 mph).
A nti-lock Braking System (ABS) not activated.
Boost pressure less than 150 kPa (22 psi).
N ote: The exhaust brake will engage only w hen all of

these preconditions are satisfied.
N ote: W hen the exhaust pressure governor (EPG) is ac

tivated in conjunction with starting, running the engine
warm, and keeping the engine warm, other preconditions
apply.
3
Verify that the following preconditions for V EB (e x h a u s t
b ra k in g and c o m p re s s io n b ra k in g ) are satisfied, with
the switches on the instrum ent panel in the ON/HI (ex
haust brake and com pression brake, VEB) positions.
A ccelerator pedal position at 0% (idle position)

Clutch pedal not depressed
Engine speed should be over 1100 RPM
PTO not activated
Vehicle speed should be greater than 3 km/h
(2 mph).
A nti-lock Braking System (ABS) not activated.
The coolant tem perature should be over 43 C
(110F), otherwise only the exhaust brake will be
engaged.
Boost pressure less than 150 kPa (22 psi).
N ote: An additional option is to have the VEB enable au

tom atically if the vehicle exceeds a specified cruise
control limit. If this option is selected, the VEB will auto
m atically engage at a selectable speed approxim ately
6.4 to 32 km/h (4 to 20 mph) above the set cruise con
trol speed.
