General
The fuel system also includes an electronic

control system. The control system includes
principally the control unit and solenoid valves
as well as sensors and other control units. More
information about the electronic control system
can be found in the EDC section. The EDC
system described in this booklet is known as S6.
The fuel system is divided into two separate

banks. Cylinders 1, 2 and 3 form the front bank
and cylinders 4, 5 and 6 form the rear bank.
cardiagn.com
Due to the ignition sequence in a straight
6-cylinder engine (1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4), one unit
injector in the front bank and one unit injector in
the rear bank will be open simultaneously. In
order to distribute fuel to one unit injector at a
time, the system is divided, with solenoid valves
that distribute fuel to the respective bank.
The system is an open system, meaning that the
nozzle is open during the charging phase. This
means that combustion gases pass through the
unit injector, through the return line and down to
the tank. A certain quantity of combustion gases
may be noticed in the tank, which is entirely
normal. There may also be some build-up of
carbon deposits in the system.

03:04-05 5
General
Fuel path
The feed pump draws fuel from the fuel tank
through two suction lines. There is a check valve
in the fuel tank to prevent the fuel running back.
The feed pump forces the fuel through the fuel
filter and the fuel shut-off valve. Then into the
fuel duct in the valve housing and via the
solenoid valves into the fuel manifold.
The task of the fuel shut-off valve is to close off
the fuel supply to the engine when the engine is
switched off or if a fault has occurred.
The valve housing contains an overflow valve to
regulate the fuel supply pressure. If the supply
pressure is too high, the overflow valve opens
and the excess fuel runs back to the suction side
of the feed pump.
cardiagn.com
The valve housing also includes the solenoid
valves that regulate the fuel to the unit injectors.
Two solenoid valves regulate fuel for
combustion. Two solenoid valves regulate fuel
for injection timing. The valve housing also
contains two pressure dampers to even out
pressure variations in the supply pressure.
The fuel is distributed through the fuel manifold
to the unit injectors in the respective cylinder
head. The fuel manifold is divided into two
separate parts, one supplying the front bank and
one supplying the rear bank with fuel.
The EDC control unit controls when the unit
injectors are to inject the fuel into the cylinders.
The fuel used for injection timing is forced back
to the tank through two return lines.
The fuel remaining between the solenoid valves
and the unit injectors when the engine is
switched off is heated by the remaining heat of
the engine. To prevent fuel from being forced
into the unit injector, the overpressure arising is
evacuated back through a check valve in the
solenoid valve, then through a nozzle in the
valve housing back to the tank.

General
Fuel quantity and injection timing
The fuel pressure in the system is kept constant

by means of an overflow valve. The fuel
pressure during running should be
approximately 17 bar.
EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) is the
electronic control system that determines how
much fuel the unit injector is to inject into the
cylinder as well as when the unit injector is to
inject the fuel.
Fuel for combustion and for injection timing is
distributed to the unit injectors by means of
solenoid valves. Two solenoid valves regulate
cardiagn.com
fuel for combustion and two solenoid valves
regulate fuel for injection timing, one of each for
the respective bank.
The pulse length (i.e. the time the solenoid
valves are open) regulates the fuel volume to the
unit injectors. The pressure is kept constant and
the time is regulated. The pulse length is
determined by the EDC control unit.
The control unit is the brain of the EDC system.
The control unit processes the information from
both the sensors and the components that are
part of the EDC system and also from the
control units in other systems. When the control
unit has processed the information, it sends
signals to the solenoid valves, which in turn
control the fuel volume to the unit injectors.

03:04-05 9
Components in the fuel system
Feed pump
The feed pump is of the gear pump type. The
feed pump is located at the rear end of the
pneumatic compressor and is driven by the
compressor crankshaft.
Its capacity is adapted to deliver the right
pressure and flow rate to all unit injectors.
On the underside of the feed pump is an
overflow aperture that functions as a leakage
indicator.

Fuel filter
The fuel filter is an insert filter with one filter
element. The filter element is secured in the lid
and when the filter is removed, the filter housing
drains automatically. The fuel filter contains an
overflow valve that opens at approximately
26.2 bar. The overflow valve opens if the filter is
blocked and directs the fuel back to the tank.
This means that the fuel pressure in the valve
housing falls, resulting in reduced engine power.
The fuel also returns via this path when the fuel
shut-off valve closes off the fuel supply.

Fuel manifold
The fuel manifold directs the fuel into the unit
injectors for each cylinder head. The fuel
manifold is divided into two separate parts, one
supplying fuel to the front bank, cylinders 1-3,
and one supplying fuel to the rear bank,
cylinders 4-6. Return fuel from the unit injectors
is collected in a common duct in the fuel
manifold.

Unit injector
Unit injector
General
There is a unit injector for each cylinder. The
unit injector is driven by the camshaft. The drive
is transferred from the camshaft via a roller
tappet, pushrod and rocker arm to the unit
injector.
Three fuel ducts lead to the unit injector: one
duct for fuel for combustion, one duct for fuel
for injection timing and one return duct.
The duct for fuel for combustion contains a
check valve to prevent the combustion gases
from returning through this duct.
The unit injector has a mechanical stop at its
cardiagn.com
highest position, meaning that when the rocker
arm is at its highest position there is some play
in the drive train. This facilitates lubrication and
minimises wear in the drive train.
The nozzle is open during the charging phase.
There is no spring loaded needle to close the
nozzle under a certain pressure. After injection,
the unit injector is closed mechanically by
means of the camshaft. The unit injector is then
kept closed by the camshaft until the next
charging phase.
The unit injector must have a certain closing
force. If the closing force is too low, the unit
injector will not close completely and
combustion gases will enter the unit injector,
resulting in increased build-up of carbon
deposits in the fuel system. This means that the
service life of the fuel filter will be shortened.

The unit injector is in closed position, the

camshaft cam pushes together the pistons in the
unit injector via the roller tappet, the push rod
and the rocker arm so that the lower piston is
pressed against the seat of the nozzle.
The unit injector is closed both for filling fuel

The three pistons move downwards together.
Any leaking fuel is evacuated via the leak fuel
duct. The lower piston compresses the air in the
nozzle and injection begins when the lower
piston has compressed the fuel-air mixture in the
nozzle completely.

Injection is complete. The lower piston is at its

lowest position. The camshaft continues to press
down the upper piston via the rocker arm, and
the upper piston, in turn, presses down the
middle piston so that the drain duct is exposed.
The fuel for injection timing is drained when the
upper piston opens the passage to the tank via
the return duct. The camshaft closes the unit
injector mechanically by means of the outer cam
lobe. In this position, the contained pressure is
also relieved above the seat via the duct in the
lower piston and drains back to the tank via the
return duct.

Solenoid valves
There are four solenoid valves. Two fuel volume 1 2 3 4
solenoid valves and two injection timing

The solenoid valves are located on a valve
housing outside the rocker covers. This means
that there are no electrical cables in the rocker
covers and that the solenoid valves are easily
accessible when renewing them.
The EDC control unit controls the solenoid
valves using a PWM signal of +24 V (more
detailed information on PWM signals can be
found in the section on PWM signals). The
119 315
solenoid valve is initially supplied with a
voltage of 120 V which drops to 24 V. The

Fuel shut-off valve V102
The task of the fuel shut-off valve is to close off

the fuel supply to the engine. The fuel shut-off
valve is controlled by the EDC control unit. It
closes off the fuel supply when the engine is
switched off or if the EDC control unit has
detected any faults that result in the engine
being switched off. The fuel shut-off valve
receives a voltage of +12 V when the engine is
running. The valve is open when voltage is
applied and closed when there is no voltage.
When starting the engine, the control system
requires a signal from the engine speed sensor
that the engine is turning before voltage is

applied to the fuel shut-off valve.
cardiagn.com
The EDC system performs a shut-off check
when the engine is switched off. If there are any
faults in the fuel shut-off valve, preventing it Fuel shut-off valve location

Engine speed sensors T74 and T75
There are two engine speed sensors in the EDC

system, engine speed sensor 1 and engine speed
sensor 2. The sensors are inductive. This means
that they only produce signals when the engine 1
is turning. The signal strength varies
significantly depending on the air gap between
the sensors and the flywheel as well as on the 2
engine speed. The EDC system performs an
assessment of the signal strength at different
engine speeds. If the signal strength becomes
B 119 318
too low, a fault code is generated.
Both engine speed sensor 1 and engine speed
sensor 2 read off the position of the flywheel.
cardiagn.com
This means that the system cannot determine 1 Engine speed sensor 1, T74
which of the two possible revolutions the engine 2 Engine speed sensor 2, T75
is at, i.e. whether cylinder 1 or cylinder 6 is at
ignition position for example. Every time the
engine is stopped and the voltage cut off, the
engine position is stored. Next time the voltage
is switched on, the stored position of the engine
is used to determine which revolution the engine
is at. When the engine has started, a system
check is performed to verify that the stored
position is correct.

The EDC control unit receives signals from both

engine speed sensors. If the control unit receives
a faulty signal or no signal at all from any of the
engine speed sensors, the engine torque is

The interval between two of the holes is greater
that that between the remaining holes. When the
control unit senses that the larger interval passes

Charge air pressure sensor weather, as the EDC control unit thinks that the
air is warmer than it really is.
The charge air pressure sensor detects the
absolute pressure in the intake manifold, i.e. the
atmospheric pressure plus the positive pressure
provided by the turbocharger.
The EDC control unit uses the signal from the
sensor to limit the fuel volume when the charge
air pressure is under a certain level. The lower
the pressure, the less fuel the control unit allows
out to the unit injectors. Black smoke is avoided
in this way.
sensor. The signal voltage is directly
proportional to the charge air pressure. High
pressure gives high voltage and vice versa.
Depending on factors such as throttle actuation,
cardiagn.com
engine speed, engine acceleration and charge air
temperature, the control unit will expect a
certain value for the charge air pressure. The
deviation between the current charge air
pressure and the pressure expected by the
control unit can be read off from the Scania
Diagnos.
If there are any faults with the signal, the control
unit will operate according to a pre-programmed
pressure value.
As a safety precaution, the engine torque is then
limited.
Charge air temperature sensor

The sensor for charge air temperature senses the
temperature in the intake manifold. The EDC
control unit uses the signal from the sensor to
finely adjust the fuel quantity so that black
smoke is not produced. The warmer the charge
air, the less fuel the control unit allows out to the
unit injectors.
The sensor is of the NTC type, with means that
the resistance is temperature dependent. If the
temperature increases, the resistance in the
sensor drops.
If the voltage is outside a certain range, the
control unit will operate according to a pre-
programmed temperature value.
The engine will then react more slowly than
normal when actuating the throttle in cold

Coolant temperature sensor T33
The coolant temperature sensor affects the fuel

volume and injection timing when starting the
engine and when the engine is cold. It also
affects the engine idling speed and maximum

Function of the EDC control unit
The EDC control unit collects information
which is processes into signals that control the
fuel volume and injection timing solenoid
valves.
We know that the electrical system of the
vehicle has a system voltage of +24 V and is
earthed via the chassis.
The control unit converts the system voltage to a
lower voltage of approximately 5 V, which it
supplies to sensors, etc. These sensors are
always earthed through the control unit.
The control unit can be configured using Scania
Programmer. For example, a maximum speed
can be set up.
Every time the control unit is configured, the
date and VCI identification number are stored in
the memory of the control unit. This is the
equivalent of security sealing.

Warning lamp for EDC, W27

The EDC control unit sends information to the
coordinator about whether the indicator lamp
should be lit or not.

The indicator lamp lights for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on to ensure that it
works.
When the engine is switched off, the indicator
lamp comes on while the EDC control unit
carries out a functional check of the EDC
system. When the check is complete, the lamp
goes out.
When the engine is running, the warning lamp
should normally be off. If there is a fault in the
EDC system, the warning lamp comes on.
If the indicator lamp flashes continuously and
the vehicle cannot be started, a serious fault has
occurred in the control unit. It will then be
impossible to establish contact with the control
unit. The control unit must be renewed.

• Torque is limited.
• The defective unit injector (cylinder) is
turned off.
• When idling, the engine runs at a slightly
higher engine speed than normal.
• The engine is switched off.
• The engine will be forced to idle.
The control unit carries out the above measures
in order to prevent the fault causing expensive
damage and at worst leading to uncontrolled
throttle actuation.
If the engine is not turned off, the vehicle can
often be driven to a workshop. It should be
remembered, however, that the system has
smaller safety margins than normal, especially if
engine output is reduced.

Shutdown test
Every time the engine is switched off, the EDC
control unit carries out a special test of the EDC
system. While this shutdown test is running, the
warning lamp is lit. When the check is complete,
the following occurs: The control unit switches
off and the lamp goes out. The control unit
receives battery voltage all the time.
If the control unit discovers a fault during the
shutdown test, the warning lamp will come on
the next time the engine is started, even if the
fault is no longer present. The control unit must
carry out a fault free shutdown test before the
warning lamp goes out.

Fault codes
When the control unit discovers a fault, or
something which it interprets as abnormal, it
generates a fault code. The warning system can
generate approximately 125 different fault
codes. In the EDC S6, one flashing code is the
equivalent of several different fault codes. More
information about this can be found in the

CAN is an abbreviation of Controller Area
Network. CAN communication is used to reduce
the number of cables in the vehicle and at the
same time increase reliability. The
communication circuit consists of two cables,
CAN H (High) and CAN L (Low).

Several different systems are connected to these

two cables and in this way form a network.
CAN communication is used for example
between EDC, ABS/TC, EBS, the retarder,
Opticruise and the coordinator.
In simple terms, CAN communication is rather
like radio. The data messages that travel along a
CAN cable can be compared to radio waves that
travel through the air.
When we listen to the radio, the receiver is
tuned so that only one station can be heard at a
time. This is the only station we hear, despite the
fact that many other radio stations are
broadcasting at the same time.
A control unit does approximately the same with
the messages that travel through a CAN cable. It
