ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
The engines use fuel management systems with mechanical or electronic regulators (see table 1).
Used in Euro-2 engines, mechanical regulators of in-line injection pumps from BOSCH are built into the pump, their controls are shown in Figure 39.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
KAMAZ engines of Euro-3 level are equipped with electronic engine control systems (ECM), where instead of traditional injection pumps with a mechanical regulator, the following are used:
BOSCH injection pump type 7100 with electronic regulator;
High pressure fuel pump of JSC "YAZDA" type 337-23 with an electronic regulator.
The ECM is designed to control the cyclic supply of engine fuel depending on the engine operating modes, its temperature state, control characteristics and environmental parameters. The system provides the following functions:
Rationing of starting fuel supply;
Correction of cyclic supply depending on the charge air pressure;
Restriction of cyclic fuel supply when the limiting temperature of the coolant is reached;
Starter blocking relay control;
Shutting off the fuel supply in the "mountain brake" mode;
Cruise control function;
Restriction of the maximum speed of the car;
Providing an emergency stop of the engine;
Implementation of diagnostic functions and transmission of diagnostic information through the diagnostic connector via K-line and CAN;
Indication of a malfunction of the ECM by the “Check Engine” control lamp;
Ensuring interaction with other vehicle control systems;
Providing emergency warning and protection, etc.
A complete list of functions performed by the ECM is determined during the design of the product on which the engine is used.
The structure of the ESUD includes:
Electronic control unit (ECU);
Wiring harnesses complete with sensors, switches and connectors for connecting devices for diagnosing the system in operating conditions;
Actuators (high pressure fuel pump rack drive, engine emergency shutdown valve).
ECM elements and their purpose on KAMAZ engines with R7100 injection pump.
The placement of the system elements and the laying of the motor wiring harness are shown in Figure 44.
The system uses the following elements:
Crankshaft speed sensors (main and auxiliary)0 281 002 898 f. "Bosch" induction, used to measure the speed of the crankshaft and camshafts of the engine. The crankshaft speed sensor is installed in the hole made in the front cover. To form the sensor signals, a special front crankshaft counterweight with eight grooves is used as an inductor.
The camshaft speed sensor is installed in a special hole made in the flywheel housing. To form the sensor signals, a special wheel with sixteen grooves is used as an inductor.
0 281 002 209 f. "Bosch" is used to determine the temperature state of the engine. It is installed in the hole in the thermostat box of the engine cooling system. The sensor signal is used in the function of limiting the cyclic supply when the permissible engine temperature is exceeded with a warning to the diagnostic lamp and correction of the starting fuel supply depending on the temperature state of the engine.
Fuel temperature sensor0 281 002 209 f. "Bosch" is used to determine the temperature of the fuel, mounted in a special valve body installed at the inlet to the injection pump. Depending on its signal, the volume of cyclic fuel supply is adjusted.
Charge air pressure and temperature sensor0 281 002 576 F. "Bosch", installed in the connecting pipe, determines the temperature and air pressure in the intake manifolds of the engine. The air temperature and pressure values are needed to determine the air mass flow.
Electronic control unitMS6.1 f. "Bosch" provides reception and processing of signals from sensors and switches, transmitted information via the CAN bus. The ECU analyzes all incoming information about the operating parameters, the state of the engine and the car, processes it in accordance with the specified algorithms and controls the injection pump rail, while ensuring the injection of strictly metered portions of fuel. Through the CAN bus, it is possible to exchange signals with other vehicle systems, through the K-line, system diagnostics are carried out.
The electronic control unit is installed in the cab of the vehicle.
The actuating mechanisms of the system are the injection pump rail displacement electromagnet and the 24V retracting electromagnet of the engine emergency shutdown valve.
High pressure fuel pump rail solenoidwith a position sensor are used to set the injection pump rail to the position corresponding to the specified engine operation mode. The design and characteristics of the electromagnet provide high accuracy and speed, providing regulation of the motor depending on the working conditions.
Retractor electromagnet24V engine emergency stop valve is used to stop the fuel supply to the injection pump in case of emergency (for example, jamming of the injection pump rail, excessive crankshaft speed, etc.). It is installed in a special valve body together with a fuel temperature sensor.
Fuel pedalf. "TeleAexMorse" is installed in the cab of the product and serves to select the required mode of operation of the engine by the driver. The output voltage signal is transmitted to the electronic control unit, where it is converted into a fuel cycling value.
Diagnostic indicator lampengine (“Check Engine” lamp) installed on the instrument panel in the cab of the car, serves to control the operation of the engine and issue fault codes - blink codes.
After the ignition is turned on, the engine diagnostic lamp is tested, during which it lights up for three seconds. If the diagnostic lamp stays on or lights up when the engine is running, this means that a malfunction has occurred in the ECM and it is necessary to contact the service center to eliminate it. Fault information is stored in the ECU and can be read either with a diagnostic tool or with a diagnostic lamp. After the fault has been eliminated, the diagnostic lamp goes out.
Rice. 44 - Installing the wiring harness:
1 - crankshaft speed sensor (main), 2 - camshaft speed sensor (auxiliary), 3 - coolant temperature sensor, 4 - fuel temperature sensor, 5 - charge air pressure and temperature sensor, 6 - engine management system harness , 7 - solenoid of the injection pump rail, 8 - retracting solenoid 24V of the emergency stop valve
Engine diagnostics.
The diagnostic mode switch installed in the product cabin has three positions - middle (fixed), top and bottom (non-fixed). In the up and down positions, the ECM is in diagnostic mode.
Engine diagnostics is carried out by pressing and holding the switch in the upper or lower pressed position for more than 2 seconds. After releasing the switch, the diagnostic lamp flashes the blink code of the engine malfunction in the form of several long flashes (the first character of the blink code) and several short flashes (the second character of the blink code).
The next time you press the switch, the lamp will blink the blink code of the next malfunction. Thus, all faults stored in the electronic unit are output. After the last stored fault is output, the unit starts to output the first fault again.
To erase the fault blink codes output by the diagnostic lamp from the memory of the control unit, while the diagnostic mode switch is pressed, turn on the ignition and then hold the diagnostic mode switch for about 5 seconds.
Example- in case of a physical error in the charge air temperature sensor (blink code 32), the diagnostic lamp flashes 3 long flashes, a pause, 2 short flashes.

Elements of the ECM for KAMAZ engines with a V-shaped injection pump.
Sensors installed on the engine:
Two crankshaft speed sensors;
Coolant temperatures;
Fuel temperatures;
Charge air temperature;
Charge air pressure.
crankshaft speed sensor406.3847060-01 (JSC "Pegas") - induction, used to measure the speed of the engine crankshaft. It is installed in special holes in the flywheel housing. The flywheel rim teeth are used as an inductor to generate crankshaft speed signals. To ensure engine performance in the event of failure of one of the sensors, two speed sensors are used.
coolant temperature sensor192.3828 (JSC Avtoelectronics, Kaluga) is used and installed similarly to the ECM with the Bosch in-line pump.
Fuel temperature sensor192.3828 (JSC "Avtoelectronics", Kaluga) installed in the fuel channel of the injection pump, used to determine the temperature of the fuel. Depending on its signal, the volume of cyclic fuel supply is adjusted.
charge air temperature sensor192.3828 (JSC Avtoelectronics, Kaluga), installed in the connecting pipe, determines the air temperature in the engine intake manifolds.
charge air pressure sensor23.3855 (JSC Avtoelectronics, Kaluga) is mounted with a bracket on the connecting pipe of the engine air manifolds and connected to the intake manifold with a rubber sleeve.
The air temperature and pressure values are necessary to determine the mass air flow and, accordingly, the composition of the working mixture.
Electronic control unit50.3763 (JSC ChNPPP "Elara", Cheboksary) is installed in the cab of the car.
The ECU analyzes all incoming information about the operating parameters, about the state of the engine and the car, processes it in accordance with the specified algorithms and controls the injection pump rail, while ensuring the injection of strictly metered portions of fuel. Through the CAN bus, it is possible to exchange signals with other vehicle systems, through the K-line, system diagnostics are carried out.
Electromagnet rotary movement of injection pump rails(LLC "Association Rodina", Yoshkar-Ola) 18 (Figure 38) with position sensor 17 are used to install the injection pump rails in the position corresponding to the specified engine operation mode. The actuator is bolted to the top cover of the injection pump from the side of the oil cavity. An actuator position sensor is installed on the outer side of the cover. The upper cover of the injection pump is bolted to the pump housing through the gasket and ensures the tightness of the oil cavity of the pump. The design and characteristics of the electromagnet determine the high accuracy and speed, ensuring the regulation of the diesel engine depending on the working conditions.
fuel shut-off valve,designed to stop the engine by cutting off the fuel supply to the high-pressure fuel pump in the event of emergency situations (for example, exceeding the crankshaft speed), it is installed in the fuel system at the inlet to the high-pressure fuel pump.
Pedal moduleKDBA 453621.003 (CJSC Avtokomplekt, Arzamas) is required to select the required engine operation mode by the driver. The output voltage signal is transmitted to the electronic control unit, where it is converted into the required value of the cyclic fuel supply.
The placement of the elements of the system and the laying of the motor bundle of wires on the engine are shown in Figure 45.
Engine Diagnostic Warning Lamp(“Check Engine” lamp), as in other systems, serves to monitor engine operation and issue fault codes - blink codes.
Diagnostics and error management of the ECM system.
System diagnostics is performed using a scanner-tester or a personal computer. In this case, OBD II error codes are generated, presented in Table 5.
Diagnosis of some errors can be carried out even in the absence of a scanner-tester, for which it is necessary to briefly press the "Diagnostics / Reset errors" button on the product control panel once. If there are errors in the system, then the first error code will be displayed with a light (Check Engine light). To determine the code of the next error, after the end of the display of the current error, press the "Diagnostics / Reset errors" button on the control panel again, etc.
Each code consists of eight consecutive flashes of different durations of the light bulb. A short flash (about 0.2 seconds) corresponds to "0", a long flash (0.6 seconds) corresponds to "1". Supported codes are listed in the "Blink" field of Table 5. The first blink corresponds to the right digit of the given numbers.

Many of us have encountered such a problem as turning on the engine icon (Check engine ...), the appearance of which scares car drivers. We offer you 5 of the most common reasons why the check engine light on the dashboard lights up.
The appearance of the engine indicator icon occurs, as a rule, without warning. The reason for the appearance of the Check engine cannot be immediately understood. Even if the car has auto diagnostics (for example, in cars such as,), which scans all car systems for errors and, if any, displays a decryption on the information panel, the reasons for the appearance of an engine check will not be deciphered.
For most drivers, the appearance of this warning icon on the instrument panel means the need to urgently go to a car repair shop to diagnose and fix the cause of the "Check Engine" warning sign. But in fact, in most cases, when the "Check" indication appears, you can, and in some cases, possibly, eliminate the cause yourself without a trip to a car service, which will save you money.
1. Replace the oxygen sensor (lambda probe)
The oxygen sensor in your car is part of the exhaust aftertreatment system that monitors how much oxygen has not been burned in the engine's combustion chamber. This sensor helps to control the fuel consumption of the car. A malfunctioning oxygen sensor (lambda probe) means that the car computer is not receiving correct data, which can significantly increase fuel consumption and reduce engine power. Most cars have 2 to 4 oxygen sensors. If you have a home automotive error scanner, then by connecting it to the car, you can easily find out which sensor needs to be replaced.
For what reason does the oxygen sensor in the car become unusable: Over time, the sensor becomes covered with a layer of used and engine oil (oil soot), which reduces the accuracy of reading the sensor readings to regulate the gasoline mixture and distribute the optimal one. A malfunction of the oxygen sensor in a car leads not only to, but also to an increased content of harmful CO2 substances in the exhaust.
What needs to be done: If you do not change a faulty car oxygen sensor, this can lead to the failure of your car's catalyst (may burst), which will result in an expensive repair. The cost of new catalysts is very high due to the content of precious alloys. On some cars, there are several catalysts, the cost of which can reach up to 90,000 rubles. So do not pull with the replacement of the sensor. Although the replacement of the sensor and its cost is not very small, but it is not commensurate with the cost of the exhaust gas converter system. You can also save on replacement costs by doing it yourself. Many car manuals have detailed instructions on how to replace the oxygen sensor yourself. If you know where the oxygen sensor is located, then it will not be difficult for you to disconnect the faulty "lambda probe" and replace it with a new one. Remember that you can’t pull with the replacement of this important element!
2. Check the fuel filler cap
Many drivers, in most cases, when the "check engine" indication appears, they will think of serious problems in the car's engine, but will not even think to check the tightness of the fuel system, which may be broken due to a defect or insufficiently tightened fuel filler cap. This is a very common reason for the "Check" engine icon to appear.
Reason for the error: Leakage of the fuel system due to the passage of air by the fuel filler cap will increase the fuel consumption of the vehicle, to which the vehicle diagnostic system will issue an engine error by turning on the “Check engine” indication on the instrument panel of the vehicle.
What needs to be done: If, when the "Check" indication appears, your car does not lose power, and there are no sound signs of engine damage (engine knocking, hum, squeaking, etc.), then first of all check the tightness of the gas tank. Your gas tank cap may be cracked or not tight enough. If the cap was not tightened enough, after tightening it all the way, continue driving the car for a while to see if the engine error disappears. To prevent the appearance of an engine check for this reason, regularly check the fuel filler cap. Remember that periodically the cover must be replaced with a new one!
3. Car exhaust catalyst
The car catalyst helps the car to make the exhaust gases of the engine more environmentally friendly. It converts carbon monoxide and other harmful substances into harmless compounds. If your exhaust gas catalyst has become unusable, you will notice this not only when the engine icon (check) appears, but long before that, when the car's power drops by 2 times. For example, when you press the gas pedal, the car, as before, will not have good acceleration dynamics.
What can cause a car catalytic converter to fail: if you regularly service your car, in accordance with the maintenance regulations of the car company, then the catalyst should not fail. The main reason for the failure of the catalyst is the untimely replacement of a faulty oxygen sensor, as well as the irregular replacement of spark plugs at the end of their expiration date. When the oxygen sensor or spark plugs fail, the conversion of carbon monoxide in the catalyst to harmless chemical elements stops, which leads to overheating of the catalyst, which can fail because of this.
What needs to be done: If your catalytic converter has become unusable, then you cannot drive a car, as the engine will not work correctly, warning about this by indicating the engine icon (check) on the dashboard. Also, you will have very much increased fuel consumption, and there will be no engine thrust. Although the replacement of the catalyst is a very expensive repair, there is nowhere to go from the repair. Although there is an alternative in replacing the catalyst with a flame arrester, but this is not a 100 percent option. Unfortunately, if you are not an experienced auto mechanic, then you cannot replace a faulty exhaust gas catalyst yourself. In any case, you will have to contact the auto repair shop. Remember that timely replacement of oxygen sensors and spark plugs protects your catalytic converter from damage!
4. Replace mass air flow sensor
The mass air flow sensor regulates how much air must be added to the gasoline mixture for optimum ignition of the fuel. The sensor constantly informs the car's computer about the amount of oxygen supplied. A defective mass air flow sensor increases fuel consumption, increases CO2 levels in the exhaust gas, and reduces engine power and ride quality. Also, with a faulty sensor, poor acceleration dynamics are observed. In cold weather, a car with a faulty sensor does not start well.
What are the reasons for the failure of the mass air flow sensor: Most sensor failures occur due to improper installation of the air filter during its scheduled replacement. Also, if the air filter is not changed regularly, as required by the vehicle maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer, the mass air flow sensor may fail.
What needs to be done: Theoretically, you can drive for a long time with a broken mass air flow sensor (several weeks or months). But you will notice that the longer you drive, the more fuel consumption increases. Replacing the sensor in a car service is not so expensive, since the work itself does not take much time and is quite simple. The main costs are associated with the cost of the sensor, which for some car models can be 11,000-14,000 rubles if it is an original sensor or up to 6,000 rubles if it is an analog substitute. Self-replacing the sensor is very simple. But due to the low cost of replacing the sensor, you can entrust this work to a master in a car service. Remember that it is necessary to change the air filter regularly, following the vehicle maintenance regulations!
5. Replacing spark plugs and high voltage wires
Spark plugs in a car are the main parts for igniting the fuel mixture. With faulty spark plugs, there is an incorrect spark supply to ignite the gasoline mixture. Faulty plugs often have no spark or an incorrect spark interval, resulting in improper engine operation. If the spark plugs do not work properly during acceleration, especially from a standstill, you may feel slight jolts.
What are the reasons for the failure of spark plugs: Most spark plugs in pre-1996 vehicles need to be changed every 25,000-30,000 kilometers. In newer cars, spark plugs last more than 150,000 km. However, these scheduled spark plug replacement times may be reduced due to various factors related to fuel quality and driving style.
What needs to be done: If your candles have not been changed for a long time, or if you feel ignition-related failures in the engine, then you should immediately replace them with new ones without delay. Do not try to save money on late replacement of spark plugs, as the cost of candles is not very expensive, as well as the work of replacing them. By changing old spark plugs, you will improve engine performance and reduce vehicle fuel consumption. It is quite easy to change the spark plugs yourself. Basically, they are easily accessible under the hood of the car. You need an ordinary spark plug wrench to unscrew the spark plugs from the engine. It is also advisable to monitor the condition of the high-voltage wires, as over time they can become unusable and pass electricity that is transmitted to the spark plugs, which will reduce the strength of the spark. Remember that regularly changing your spark plugs, in accordance with your vehicle's maintenance schedule, keeps your exhaust catalyst from breaking down and improves engine performance!
