Lamp:Red Reason:Engine misfire has been detected in cylinder number 5. Effect:Possible reduced engine performance. Circuit Description:The exhaust gas pressure sensor is used to measure exhaust gas pressure in the exhaust manifold. This information is used by the Engine Control Module (ECM) to control emissions and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve operation. The ECM provides a 5 volt supply to the exhaust gas pressure sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The exhaust gas pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the exhaust gas pressure sensor signal circuit. This...

The ECM provides a 5 volt supply to the exhaust gas pressure sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The exhaust gas pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the exhaust gas pressure sensor signal circuit. This sensor signal voltage changes, based on the pressure in the exhaust manifold.

Circuit DescriptionThe ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor sensor and is used to measure the temperature of the ambient air. The engine control module (ECM) uses this temperature reading to optimize engine performance, and determine if heating of the SCR system is required. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the ambient air temperature signal circuit. The ECM monitors the change in voltage caused by changes in the resistance of the sensor to determine the ambient air temperature. Component LocationThe mounting location for the ambient air temperature sensor is OEM dependent. Refer to the appropriate OEM...

Circuit DescriptionThe variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) is electronically activated by the VGT actuator. The VGT actuator is a smart device and receives information via the J1939 data link from the primary engine control module (ECM). The VGT actuator performs its own diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the primary engine ECM, using the J1939 data link. The ECM then decodes the error message and converts it to a fault code. Component LocationThe VGT actuator is located on the turbocharger bearing housing. Conditions for Running the DiagnosticsThis diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the...
