Typical example
(5) Ground to battery
(6) Ground to engine block
(7) Primary position for grounding
Correct grounding for the engine electrical system is
necessary for optimum engine performance and
reliability. Incorrect grounding will result in
uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and in unreliable
electrical circuit paths.
Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can result in
damage to engine components.
Engines that are installed without engine-to-frame
ground straps can be damaged by electrical
discharge.
To ensure the engine and the engine electrical
systems function correctly, an engine-to-frame
ground strap with a direct path to the battery must be
used. This path may be provided by way of a direct
engine ground to the frame.
The connections for the grounds should be tight and
free of corrosion. The engine alternator must be
grounded to the negative "-" battery terminal with a
wire adequate to handle the full charging current of
the alternator.
The power supply connections and the ground
connections for the engine electronics should always
be from the isolator to the battery.
Engine Electronics
Tampering with the electronic system installation
or the OEM wiring installation can be dangerous
and could result in personal injury or death and/
or engine damage.
Electrical Shock Hazard. The electronic unit injec-
tors use DC voltage. The ECM sends this voltage
to the electronic unit injectors. Do not come in
contact with the harness connector for the elec-
tronic unit injectors while the engine is operating.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
This engine has a comprehensive, programmable
Engine Monitoring System. The Electronic Control
g02315900
Module (ECM) has the ability to monitor the engine
operating conditions. If any of the engine parameters
extend outside an allowable range, the ECM will
initiate an immediate action.
The following actions are available for engine
monitoring control:
• Warning
• Derate
• Shutdown
The following monitored engine operating conditions
and components have the ability to limit engine
speed and/or the engine power:
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine Oil Pressure
• Engine Speed
• Intake Manifold Air Temperature
• Engine Intake Throttle Valve Fault
• Wastegate Regulator
• Supply Voltage to Sensors
• Fuel Pressure in Manifold (Rail)
•
