General information General information EMS 2 – Engine Management System (engine control system) EMS 2 is an electronic system with CAN communication (Controller Area Network) for controlling diesel engines. The system has been developed by Volvo and includes fuel regulation and diagnostic functions. The system comprises a control unit, six injectors, a number of sensors that supply the control unit with values and connectors for diagnostics and functional checks.

General information DCU (Display Control Unit) The DCU is a digital instrument panel that communi- cates with the engine control unit via the CAN link. The DCU has several functions, such as: Engine control – Start, stop, engine speed regulation, pre-heating, etc.

A number of symptoms and possible causes of engine malfunctions are described in the table below. Always con- tact your Volvo Penta dealer if any problems occur that you cannot solve yourself. WARNING! Read through the safety instructions for care and service in chapter “Safety information” before you start working.
