Faults that do not generate fault codes

The table below contains descriptions of faults that can occur without generating fault codes.
Note: Remember that the fuel system is just like an ordinary mechanical fuel system supplemented
with electronic control. The faults which can occur in a fuel system without EDC — e.g. defective
injectors — can also occur in vehicles with EDC.
Symptom Cause/Action
Poor engine pulling power, output Charge air pressure sensor is blocked. It will then react
and torque. slower to changes in the charge air pressure or the charge air
pressure sensor is stuck and giving a constant low charge air
pressure. This will make the engine feel sluggish when the
accelerator pedal is depressed. A fault code is not generated,
as the signal from the sensor always remains within
permitted limits.
Reversed cables on the charge air pressure sensor can give a
constant pressure signal within permitted limits.
Air leak on the suction side of the feed pump. Try renewing
the pipe and seals, as it is difficult to detect any leaks.

when this occurs, and no fault code is generated on account
of the short fuel shutoff time. This fault has been rectified in
control units manufactured from May 1997.

Fault codes — Working procedure
Fault codes
Working procedure
Try to form a comprehensive view of the
problem. Start by asking the driver the
following:
• Fault symptoms
• Conditions in which the fault occurs
• How often the fault occurs
• If the warning lamp came on when the fault
occurred
• If the warning lamp went out by itself
when the fault ceased
• If the driver has erased the fault codes
Then, present all the stored fault codes. Present
them either as flashing codes on the EDC
diagnostic switch or via Scania Diagnos.
Compare them and try to conclude the probable
cause of the fault before taking any other
measures. The fault codes are stored in the
order they were registered.

Fault codes — how to read them
How to read fault codes from the diagnostic lamp
How to read the fault codes from the diagnostic

lamp is described below.
You can see how to interpret the flashing codes
on the next page.
1 Switch on the power using the starter key.
2 Press the diagnostic switch and note the
number of short and long flashes. You have
now presented one of the fault codes.
3 Repeat point 2 until you have presented all
the fault codes. If the same fault code is
flashed several times, there may only be EDC

have been generated and how the faults can be
rectified. The fault codes are described in the
same manner in Scania Diagnos.

Fault code 11
Fault
At least one of the engine speed signals has
shown over 3000 rpm.
Cause
The EDC control unit has detected that the
frequency has been too high on at least one of
the signals applied to pins 21 and 22.
Remarks
The signal from the main engine speed sensor
or auxiliary engine speed sensor has displayed
more than 3,000 rpm. The setting solenoid
loses power (engine shut down) until both
engine speed signals indicate engine speed
below 3,000 rpm. Subsequently, the engine will
function normally.
This fault code is generated during incorrect
downshifting. The fault may also arise if there
is interference in the engine speed signal.
Action
Check and compare the signals from the main
engine speed sensor and the auxiliary engine
speed sensor.
Check any visible faults on the engine speed
sensors, connectors and wiring.
Then, erase the fault code memory and check
whether the fault code is generated again.

For safety reasons, the control unit always uses
the sensor giving the highest value if the
sensors indicate different speeds. Therefore it is
possible that a fault code may sometimes be
generated for the sensor that is actually giving
the correct value.
The fault may be due to incorrect clearance
between the sensor and ring gear.

(i.e. both the engine speed sensors are faulty),
the engine is switched off (the setting solenoid
is not supplied with power).

List of fault codes
Fault code 14
Fault
The signal from the coolant temperature sensor
has been implausible.
Cause
The voltage between the EDC control unit pins
53 and 13 has been too low or too high.
Remarks
The voltage was lower than 0,44 V (above
130°C) or higher than 4,94 V (below -40°C).
If the voltage is outside the permitted range, the
control unit uses a pre-programmed
temperature value (40 or 60°C).
temperature value (40 or 60°C, depending on
engine type).
As long as the fault is present, the cold starting
capacity of the engine is reduced and idle speed
cannot be adjusted. If the pre-programmed
temperature value is 40°C, the idle speed is
raised to 600 rpm. If the pre-programmed
temperature value is 60°C, the engine idling
speed is not raised; the engine is running at
normal idle speed even when cold.
Action
Check the signal from the coolant temperature
sensor.
Check that the coolant and charge air are about
the same temperature when the engine is cold.
Measure the resistance of the coolant
temperature sensor.
Check any visible faults on the coolant
temperature sensor, connectors and wiring.

Fault
The signal from the charge air temperature
sensor has been implausible.
Cause
The voltage between the EDC control unit

130°C) or higher than 4.94 V (below -40°C).
temperature value (40°C).
As long as the fault is present, the engine
responds more slowly than normal to throttle
actuation in cold conditions. This is because
the smoke limiter is not operating correctly.
Action
Check the signal from the charge air
temperature sensor.
Check that the coolant and charge air are about
the same temperature when the engine is cold.
Measure the resistance of the charge air
temperature sensor.

are about the same pressure when the engine is
off.
Check any visible faults on the charge air
pressure sensor, connectors and wiring.

List of fault codes
Fault code 21
Fault
The signal from the control for cruise control
was implausible.
Cause
Voltage too low or too high between
pins 44 and 13. May also be an impermissible
voltage level between the different functions:
ACC, RES, RET, ON and OFF.
Remarks
The cruise control, hand throttle and engine
idling speed adjustment will not function as
long as the fault is present.
The control unit interprets voltage level as
follows:
0.67-1.03 V, ACC
1.50-1.89 V, RES
2.37-2.82 V, RET
3.20-3.57 V, ON
3.57-4.40 V, OFF
The fault code is generated in the event of
voltage levels outside these ranges.
Certain vehicles are not fitted with a control for
cruise control. On these vehicles, a resistor is
installed between pins 13 and 44 instead of the
control for the cruise control. The control unit
interprets the voltage level as control for cruise
control position ON.
Action
Check the control, connectors and wiring.

List of fault codes
Fault code 22
Fault
The brake pedal switches have supplied
conflicting signals on the position of the pedal.
One switch has indicated that the pedal was
released while the other switch has indicated
that it was depressed.
Cause
Pins 24 and 43 have both been earthed at the
same time or they have both been without an
earth connection at the same time.
Remarks
Both brake pedal switches have been closed or
been open at the same time for more than five
minutes.
The cruise control, hand throttle and engine
idling speed adjustment will not function as
long as the fault is present.
This fault may be due to incorrect adjustment
of the switches or because the nut has been
over-tightened, causing the switch to stick.
Action
Check the switches, the connectors and wiring.

List of fault codes
Fault code 24
Fault
Signals indicating that the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal have both been depressed
at the same time.
Cause
Input voltage on pin 27 too high at the same
time as pin 24 has been earthed or pin 43 has
not been earthed.
Remarks
The accelerator pedal and brake pedal must
have been depressed at the same time for more
than 20 consecutive brake applications for the
fault code to be generated. The purpose of the
fault code is to detect whether the accelerator
pedal fails to return as it should, because of a
faulty return spring, for example.
The input voltage on pin 27 has been above
0.45 V at the same time as the brake pedal has
been depressed.
A fault in the brake pedal switches generates
fault code 22. Fault code 25, 41 or 42 is
generated if there is a fault in the accelerator
pedal sensor's throttle actuation switch or
potentiometer.
Action
Check the movement of the accelerator pedal.

Cause
Input voltage on pin 27 too low or too high.
Input voltage on pin 27 too low at the same
time as pin 39 is earthed. Alternatively, input
voltage on pin 27 too high at the same time as
pin 39 is not earthed.
Remarks
If the fault is due to an implausible voltage
from the potentiometer, the following will
apply:
The voltage from the potentiometer was below
0.25 V or in excess of 4.00 V.
The vehicle can be driven to the nearest
workshop in limp home mode using the throttle
actuation switch. In limp home mode, releasing
the accelerator pedal gives engine idling speed
and depressing it (throttle actuation switch
closed) gives half full throttle.
The cruise control can be used when the road
speed exceeds 35 km/h.
Throttle actuation is reduced to engine idling
speed when this fault arises. The engine torque
is limited.
If the fault is due to an implausible difference
between the potentiometer and the throttle
actuation switch, the following applies:
The voltage from the potentiometer was lower
than 0.49 V while the throttle actuation switch
was closed. Alternatively, the voltage was in
excess of 0.90 V while the throttle actuation

List of fault codes
Fault code 26
Fault
No road speed signal or it is implausible.
Cause
Input signal to pin 51 is absent, showing
implausibly high road speed, has too high a
frequency or has too low or too high a voltage
level.
Remarks
The signal from the tachograph indicated a
road speed in excess of 150 km/h. Cruise
control, hand throttle and engine idling speed
adjustment do not function.
When this fault is present, the control unit uses
a pre-programmed road speed value (15 km/h).
This fault code is also generated in the event of
an open circuit or short circuit in the cable
between the tachograph and the control unit.
The road speed signal voltage is an internal
voltage level in the control unit. It cannot be
measured with a multimeter.
Action
Check the function of the tachograph on the
disc or during a test drive. If the tachograph is
functioning correctly, check the wiring

List of fault codes
Fault code 27
Fault
No vehicle speed signal or implausibly high

Cause
The signal to pin 51 is not present or the
vehicle speed calculated by the control unit is
implausibly high.
Remarks
The fault code is generated if there is an open-
circuit in the lead between the tachograph and
control unit.
Control units manufactured from February
1998 only generate the fault code when the
engine is running.

The fault code may also be generated by
external electrical interference.
The fault code is generated if there is a
short-circuit to +24 V or chassis earth in the
cable between the tachograph and control unit.

Fault
The injection timing cannot be correctly set.
Cause
The deviation in time between the signal to
pin 32 (needle movement sensor) and the signal
to pin 21 (main engine speed sensor) is outside
its permitted range.
Remarks
The fault may be due to:
1. Low fuel pressure or incorrectly filled
injection pump (air in fuel).
2. Seizing injection pump (prestroke sleeve,
prestroke shaft or setting solenoid).
3. Too low opening pressure on the injector
with needle movement sensor (during exhaust
braking).
4. Incorrect pump basic setting or fault in the
pump transmission.
5. The control unit driver stage has stopped
functioning.

The fault code can only occur in engines with
variable injection timing. The fault may arise in
conjunction with fault codes 33, 44 and 45.
Action
Search for air leaks into the fuel system on both
the suction and pressure sides.
Check the function of the overflow valve.
Check the fuel valve for loose connection.
Check the injection timing setting solenoid,
connectors and wiring.
Check the basic setting of the pump and the
mechanical components.

List of fault codes
Fault code 32
Fault
The control rack cannot be correctly set. The
reading (actual value) from the control rack
position sensor does not correspond with the
position the control unit is attempting to set
(nominal value).
Cause
The signal from pins 1 and 2 (setting solenoid,
fuel volume) does not correspond to the signal
to pins 9, 10 and 11 (control rack position
sensor).
Remarks
The fault can be caused by the control rack
seizing or a defective setting solenoid.
In vehicles manufactured up to and including
March 1997, the most common cause of the
fault is a short-circuit in the wiring between the
engine and the cab. Improved wiring was
introduced in March 1997.
The setting solenoid is not supplied with power
(the engine is switched off). If the fault
disappears by itself, the power supply must be
switched off and on (shutdown test) before the
control unit can interpret the function as
normal.
Control units manufactured from April 1996
are improved and thus not as quick to generate
fault code 32.
Action
Check the setting solenoid, the connectors and
wiring. Check the control rack movement.
In the event of problems with fault code 32 and
sudden engine stoppage in vehicles
manufactured up to and including March 1997,
it is necessary first to switch to the improved
wiring.

Fault
The fault code may be generated for two
reasons:
1. Implausible resistance in the circuit for the
needle movement sensor.
2. Implausible deviation in the needle
movement sensor signal compared with the
engine speed.
Cause
1. The control unit has detected that the
resistance in the circuit between pins 32 and 17
was too low or too high.
2. The frequency of the signal to pin 32 has
deviated from the engine speed to pin 21.
Remarks

The fault code can only occur on engines with
conjunction with fault code 31.
Air in the fuel system may cause the nozzle
needle to open incorrectly, for example, after
renewing the fuel filter.
The fault may be due to the nozzle needle
seizing.
If the indicator lamp lights during exhaust
braking, the opening pressure of the injector
with the needle movement sensor has probably
been too low.

Cause
The control unit has detected that the signal at
pins 9, 10 or 11 was too irregular.
Remarks
This fault code is generated if there have been
at least 3 occurances of loose connections
within 10 seconds. If the fault disappears by
itself, the power supply must be switched off
and on before the indicator lamp will go out.
The fault code should provide a reminder that
the vehicle should be taken to the workshop for
repair.
The fault may arise in conjunction with fault

List of fault codes
Fault code 37
Fault
Signal from the emergency shutdown switch.
Cause
Pin 25 on the control unit was earthed.
Remarks
If the vehicle is stationary, the engine is
switched off. When the vehicle is being driven,
the engine speed drops to idling speed. This
allows the use of power steering etc.
The fault code is generated every time the
emergency shutdown switch is used. Therefore
the system is usually fault free. However, this
fault code may be useful if there is a wiring
fault between the control unit and the
emergency shutdown switch.
This fault code is used only on control units
manufactured up to and including April 1996.
Newer control units do not generate a fault
code when the emergency stop switch is used.
Action
Check the switch, the connectors and wiring.

time as pin is earthed. The voltage to pin 27 is
too high while pin 39 is not earthed.
Remarks
The voltage was below 0.49 V while the
throttle actuation switch was closed.
Alternatively, the voltage was in excess of
0.90 V while the throttle actuation switch was
open.
actuation switch. In limp home mode, if the
accelerator pedal is released the engine
operates at the set idle speed. If the throttle
pedal is depressed (throttle actuation switch
closed) the engine operates at 750 rpm. The
cruise control can be used when the road speed
exceeds 35 km/h.
Action
Check the potentiometer. Compare the
potentiometer and throttle actuation switch.
Check the connectors and wiring.
Search for air leaks in the fuel system. On both
the suction side and the pressure side.

List of fault codes
Fault code 43
Fault
Fault in the CAN communication circuit.
Cause
Internal fault in the EDC control unit
Remarks
The fault does not affect the function of the
engine. However the other control units receive
no engine information. Other systems (such as
ABS/TC, EBS and Opticruise) cannot take
control of engine operation.
If the CAN circuit starts to function properly
again, the EDC control unit will first have to
carry out a shutdown test before it can regard
the fault as inactive.
Action
Erase the fault code memory and check
Renew the EDC control unit if the fault code is
generated again.

List of fault codes
Fault code 44
Fault
The number of pulses from the needle
movement sensor was more than expected
compared with engine speed.
Cause
The frequency of the signal to pin 32 has
deviated from the engine speed to pin 21.
Remarks
active.
The fault code can only occur in engines with
If the indicator lamp lights during exhaust
braking, the opening pressure of the injector
with the needle movement sensor has probably
been too low.
Action
Search for air leaks inside the fuel injection
system on both the suction and pressure sides.

List of fault codes
Fault code 45
Fault
The number of pulses from the needle
movement sensor was less than expected
compared with engine speed.
Cause
The frequency of the signal to pin 32 has
deviated from the engine speed signal to
pin 21.
Remarks
active.
Air in the fuel system may cause the nozzle
needle to open incorrectly, for example, after
renewing the fuel filter.
The fault may be due to the nozzle needle
seizing.
Action
Check the injectors.

List of fault codes
Fault code 46
Fault
Implausible resistance in the circuit for the
needle movement sensor.
Cause
The control unit has detected that the resistance
in the circuit between pins 32 and 17 was too
low or too high.
Remarks
active.
variable injection timing.
Action

List of fault codes
Fault code 61
Fault
The EDC control unit has been interrupted
before the shutdown test was finished.
Cause
The input voltage on pins 15 and 16 has
disappeared too early.
Remarks
During the shutdown test, the EDC control unit
carries out a operational test after the power is
switched off using the key.
The engine torque is limited if the shutdown
test is interrupted 10 consecutive times. The
fault is assumed to have been rectified as soon
as the EDC control unit is able to perform a
shutdown test without interruption.
The engine must always be switched off using
the key. If a battery master switch is fitted, it
must not be switched off before the warning
lamp goes out.
Action
Check that the warning lamp is on for a short
period after the power is switched off using the
key.
Check connectors and wiring to the EDC
control unit pins 15, 16 and 46. The voltage
supply may be interrupted if extra equipment
has been connected.

List of fault codes
Fault code 62
Fault
Engine speed does not fall quickly enough
when the engine is switched off.
Cause
The frequency of the engine speed signals to
pins 21 and 22 is not reduced quickly enough
when there is no longer any voltage on pin 47.
Remarks
Engine speed must decrease by at least
150 rpm in 4 seconds.
(the engine is switched off). Torque is limited
the next time the engine is started. Normal
torque is resumed if engine speed falls at the
correct rate once when the engine is switched
off.
The probable cause of fault is air in the fuel
system or internal leakage in the fuel valve.
code 63.
Action
Check that there is no voltage supply to the fuel
valve as soon as the power supply is switched
off using the key.
The fuel valve is supplied with voltage again
when engine speed has dropped to 350 rpm.
The valve is then supplied with voltage until
the shutdown test is complete (i.e. the indicator
lamp goes out).
Search for air leakage in the fuel system on the
line between the fuel valve and feed pump.
Check the overflow valve.

List of fault codes
Fault code 63
Fault
Open or short circuit in the circuit controlled by
the control unit driver stage.
Cause
Open or short circuit to earth in the lead to
pin 14.
Remarks
The fuel valve closes and the engine stops. The
engine runs unevenly if there are loose
connections.
If the fault disappears by itself, the power
supply must be switched off and on (shutdown
test) before the control unit can interpret the
function as normal.
code 62.
Action
Check the connectors, wiring and fuel valve.

List of fault codes
Fault code 64
Fault
The EDC control unit receives voltage even
though the voltage is switched off with the
ignition key.
Cause
Input voltage applied to pins 15 and 16
although no input voltage on pin 47.
Remarks
There is still power to the supply relay after the
shutdown test is complete.
The warning lamp is on continuously despite
the power being switched off. The function of
the engine is not affected, i.e. the engine can be
restarted.
If the warning lamp is on, the supply relay must
be removed before the EDC control unit
connector can be disconnected.
Action
Remove the supply relay.
If the warning lamp is still on, the wiring to
pins 15 and 16 is probably short-circuited to
+24 V.
If the warning lamp goes out, you can measure
the resistance in the wire to pin 46 to see if it is
short-circuited to earth. If it is not
short-circuited, the relay is probably defective.
In which case, renew the relay.

List of fault codes
Fault code 81
Fault
Internal fault in the EDC control unit.
Cause
The two microprocessors of the control unit
have lost contact with each other.
Remarks
(the engine is switched off).
Action
Renew the EDC control unit.

List of fault codes
Fault code 82
Fault
The EDC control unit has detected a fault
during the shutdown test.
The position of the control rack deviates from
the pre-programmed position.
Cause
The signal from pins 1 and 2 (setting solenoid,
fuel volume) does not correspond to the signal
to pins 9, 10 and 11 (control rack position
sensor).
Remarks
During the shutdown test, the control unit sets
the control rack to a pre-programmed position.
The position sensor is able to read this position.
The current to the setting solenoid is then shut
off.
Engine torque is limited the next time the
engine is started if the control unit detects any
faults during this test.
The fault is probably outside the control unit if
fault code 82 is generated in conjunction with
fault codes 32, 35 or 36.
However, if fault code 82 is generated on its
own, this indicates an internal fault in the
control unit.
Action
Check whether there are any other fault codes,
e.g. 32, 35 and 36. If so, rectify these faults
first. The control unit must be renewed if fault
code 82 is generated on its own.

List of fault codes
Fault code 83
Fault
Internal fault in the EDC control unit
Cause
The control unit has detected that the fault code
memory is not functioning correctly.
Remarks
The fault does not affect engine function.
Action
