Introduction
This document describes the basics of the vehicle electronic system. The purpose is to provide a quick start and briefly
describes functions, components and communication types. For more detailed information on the system, please refer
to the function, component and system descriptions published in Impact.
Electrical Architecture
The value Truck Architecture consists of 3 mandatory ECUs (Electronics Control Units) and Optional ECUs depending
on Truck variant. All the ECUs are connected & communicate with CAN network. After Market/ OBD Tools can be
connected to the network via OBD connector for diagnosing ECUs / software download to ECUs.
Components
Detailed description of each component can be found in each component section.

Programmable ECUs:
Integrated Electronic Control Unit (IECU): IECU performs and controls the vehicle related functionality.
Engine Management System (EMS): EMS performs and controls the Engine related functionality.
Telematics Gate Way (TGW): Telematics ECU is optional ECU. Trucks with telematics variant only will have this ECU.
Software download cannot be done to these ECUs. For any update in the software complete ECU needs to be
replaced.
Antilock Brake System (ABS): ABS is optional ECU. Trucks with Anti-Lock Braking variant only will have this ECU.
After treatment Control Module (ACM): SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) Variant Trucks.

Audio:
Audio system is standalone unit.
Flasher:
Flasher Unit control the signal lights. It supports diagnostics in signal lights and sends the information to Instrument
cluster.
Power
The power distribution topology shows the power supply to the different loads in the vehicle.
There are two distribution centres:
There is a main switch to cut off the battery supply to the various loads outside cab.
Based on the position of key, four Voltage lines are available.

3.
4. Kl 61 – Input when alternator charges
All these voltage lines are available at the FRC and all loads except pre heater.
The power to the pre heater is supplied directly from the battery box and fuse box through a dedicated fuse.
Diagnostics
ECUs in the truck have self-diagnostic and reporting capability.
The diagnostics information can be accesses through
1. In vehicle diagnostics(IVD)
2. On-board diagnostics (OBD)
3. Telematics
In vehicle diagnostics:
In vehicle diagnostics can be performed through Instrument cluster. The actions that can be performed via Instrument
cluster are limited.
On-board diagnostics:
The service technician can connect PC with the diagnostic tool (VOLVO: Volvo Tech Tool, VTNA: Premium Tech Tool)
and perform all the diagnostic actions on the ECU.
Telematics:
Sending, receiving and storing diagnostics information via telecommunication devices. Diagnostics through telematics
is limited to telematics variant trucks..
