4. FAULT FINDING CASES / PREPARATION INFORMATION


4.1 YELLOW ENGINE MALFUNCTION ON DIP 0
The driver complains of a yellow
engine warning appearing on DIP. He
also complains of sporadic decreases
in engine performance.

Let the trainees create a drive recorder


report of the tests 'Evaluate the injector
back leak' and 'Evaluate the pump unit
performance'. Discuss these reports
after the fault finding cases have been
finished.

Definition
PCI stands for PACCAR Common rail Injection
and serves as the engine management system in
the CF and XF.
This manual describes the working principles,
controls and the hardware involved.
Main task
Its main task is to control the combustion process
in such a way that the engine achieves:
- the performance that matches the driver's
requests
- the lowest fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions rate
PCI and the Emission Aftertreatment System
(EAS) work together in reducing the emissions of
harmful exhaust gases.
Environmental legislation across the globe
continues to demand increases in engine
efficiency and emissions controls.

©
201911 1-1
PCI
Introduction

It aims to the decrease the emissions of Nitrogen


oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and carbon
dioxide (CO2).This has run the development of
PCI over the years.

1 Engine hardware optimisations and the


introduction of driver assist systems such as
Predictive Cruise Control (PCC) and Eco Mode
help increasing the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
This is a key factor contributing to the vehicle’s
CO2 emissions.
Applicability
PCI is found on vehicles equipped with either an
MX-11 or MX-13 engine, introduced in Europe in
2012.
These engines are the successors of the MX
engines equipped with the DAF Multi Controlled
Injection (DMCI) engine management system.
Variants
Two versions of the PCI engine management
system exist:
- PCI for vehicles equipped with SCR
technology
- PCI for vehicles equipped with DPF and
SCR technology
Technology
The following technologies are applied:
- Common rail fuel injection, working with
pressure levels up to 2500 bar
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
- Variable turbine geometry turbocharger
(VTG)
- Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
- Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
- Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
- Ammonia oxidation catalyst (AMOX)
The application of these technologies is
monitored, and corrected based on various
measurements and calculations.

2.1 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

G005911

Engine load control (1)


PCI determines the load on the engine via the
required torque.
This torque can be positive (propulsion), negative
(braking) or zero (roll, engine shutdown).
This torque request can come from:
- the driver, with the accelerator pedal or an
engine speed setting
- a vehicle system, such as Predictive Cruise
Control
- the brake system, in the form of a brake
torque
Fuel demand to deliver torque (2)
PCI calculates the required fuel amount from the
torque value, which serves as an input for the
common rail pressure control.
The amount of fuel injected into the cylinder
depends on fuel pressure and the actuation time
of the injector.
PCI must also determine when to start injecting
fuel, because mixture preparation is an important
factor regarding emissions.
Rail pressure control consists of:
- Effective stroke control on both common rail
pump units
- Discharge pressure level for the common rail
pressure release valve
- injection timing

The fuel demand corresponds to an oxygen level


required for complete combustion.
Oxygen level for complete combustion (3)
PCI must control the intake volume in such a way
that:
- it contains sufficient oxygen to burn all the
fuel
- the amount of oxygen left over after
combustion is as low as possible
Therefore, PCI controls both intake charge
pressure and the exhaust gas pressure.
These actions involve the following actuators:
- The VTG turbocharger, which controls the
intake charge and pre-turbine exhaust gas
pressure.
- The EGR valve, involved in controlling the
exhaust gas flow.
- The Back Pressure Valve (BPV), which also
influences the exhaust gas pressure.

To achieve the required filling rate with enough


oxygen, the system can perform the following
actions: 1
- Control the intake volume via the
turbocharger (A), which contains a lot of
oxygen.
- Control the exhaust gas flow to the intake
(B), which contains very low levels of
oxygen.
A%
The VTG turbocharger fulfils a double role in this, M205072
because it must provide sufficient intake charge
(independent of exhaust gas flow) while also
creating sufficient exhaust gas pressure before
the turbine.
The pressure differential between intake and
exhaust is important for EGR flow. Exhaust gas
pressure must be higher than the charge
pressure to enable flow.
Other factors that play a role are:
- exhaust gas flow, which determines the
effectiveness of the turbocharger and VTG
actuator positioning.
- Temperature levels in both the intake and
exhaust system.
- Requirements coming from EAS regarding
the processing of engine-out emissions.
PCI controls the actuators above according to its
calculations once has found out that the
requested can be realised while adhering to the
emissions regulations.

NOx & PM emissions


Nitrous oxides (NOx) and Particulate matter (PM)
are the emissions aspects most environmental
legislation focuses on.

1 PCI can influence engine- out emissions directly


via its controls and indirectly by creating the
optimal operating conditions for EAS.
NOx
A diesel engine has the tendency to run lean, as
it operates on an air excess by design.
This means that in every combustion cycle, there
is an oxygen amount that does not mix with fuel,
and therefore doesn't take part in combustion.
Nitrogen, also present in air, forms NOx with the
remaining oxygen. This happens in the high-
temperature environment just after combustion
starts.
PM
Particulate matter forms in situations in which fuel
cannot mix properly with the oxygen.
Causes for this can be:
- Improper atomisation, which limits the
mixture forming.
- Oxygen shortage

2.2 ENGINE MODES

The engine always runs in one of the following


modes:
1. (Euro 5 + Euro 6) Protection Mode
This mode is needed in case either the engine or
1
EAS has a fault and need protection or in extreme
ambient conditions.
This mode reduces particulate matter emissions
at the cost of relatively high engine out NOx.
Typically this engine mode does not use EGR.
It is also used for DPF regeneration under engine
operating conditions where applying EGR is not
possible.
In this mode, the EGR valve is closed and the
turbo (VTG) and Back Pressure Valve (BPV)
positions are variable.
2. (Euro 6) NOx Standard mode
This mode is used when the engine and Emission
Aftertreatment System warm up or when the SCR
efficiency is relatively low.
This mode reduces engine out NOx at the cost of
particulate matter.
In this mode the EGR valve position, Turbo (VTG)
position and Back Pressure Valve (BPV) position
are variable.
3. (Euro 5 + Euro 6) High efficiency mode
This mode is used when the SCR efficiency is
high.
This engine mode produces high engine out NOx
(which decreases via high conversion rate of the
SCR) but low particulate matter.
In this mode the EGR valve and Turbo (VTG)
positions are variable (less EGR than in Standard
mode).
4. (Euro 6) SCR Heating mode
This mode is used when the engine and Emission
Aftertreatment System are cold, typically
following a cold engine start.
The goal is to warm up the engine and Emission
Aftertreatment System as quickly as possible to
enable switching the engine mode to NSM or
HEM.
In this mode the EGR valve position and the
Turbo (VTG) position are variable. In addition, the
Back Pressure Valve (BPV) is used to increase
exhaust gas temperatures.

201911 2-5
PCI
System

5. (Euro 6) DPF regeneration mode


This mode is used to produce high exhaust gas
temperature to allow DPF regeneration under
normal engine operating conditions when EGR
can be used.
1 In this mode the EGR valve position and the
Turbo (VTG) position are variable. In addition, the
Back Pressure Valve (BPV) is used to increase
exhaust gas temperatures.
6. (Euro 6) Super high efficiency mode
This mode is used when the SCR temperature
and SCR conversion efficiency are higher than in
high efficiency mode.
This mode produces higher engine out NOx and
lower particulate matter than in high efficiency
mode. Goal: best fuel economy
In this mode the EGR valve and Turbo (VTG)
positions are variable (less EGR than in high
efficiency mode).
7. (Euro 5 + Euro 6) Engine braking mode
PCI enters this mode when it receives a request
to activate the engine brake.
In this mode the EGR valve is closed, the turbo
(VTG) position and the Back Pressure Valve
(BPV) are variable depending on the requested
brake performance.
What is the effect of early injection
timing?

What is in basic important to increase


the efficiency of the SCR?

What is in the effect on the exhaust gas


pressure before turbine, when the
engine brake is engaged?

Crankshaft sensor
The crankshaft sensor provides PCI with
information on the crankshaft position and speed.
This is an important input for PCI's calculations
1 on the required fuel quantity and timing.
The sensor produces an inductive alternating
signal based on a changing magnetic field.
The flywheel features three sections, each having
eighteen holes.
The sections are evenly spaced, with a distance
equivalent of two holes between them.
Each section, consisting of the interval and the
eighteen holes, covers two cylinders.

The common rail system relies on a continuous


supply of clean fuel.
The following components are involved:
- the fuel lift pump, which draws fuel from the tanks and transfers it to the common rail pump units via

1 -
-
the fuel filtration module.
the fuel filtration module, which filters debries and moisture from the fuel.
Two common rail pump units, which supply the common rail with high-pressure fuel.
- The common rail, which distributes the fuel over all injectors equally.
- The injectors, tasked with dispensing the fuel in a controlled way.
- The common rail pressure release valve, which allows PCI to control the fuel leak-off from the rail.

Fuel system sensors


The following sensors can be found:
- Fuel pressure sensor (F801)
- Fuel temperature sensor (F803)
- Common rail pressure sensor (F854)
The fuel temperature sensor (F801) and the fuel
temperature sensor (F803) are located in the
engine's fuel gallery.

- Indicator for the amount of fuel flowing to the
common rail pump units.
- Informs on fuel density, and is an input in
determining the fuel injection quantity and
injection timing.
The fuel flow to the common rail pump units
directly influences the fuel displacement to the
common rail.

Common rail pump units


The engine drives both common rail pump units
either via the camshaft (MX-13) or via a separate
shaft (MX-11).
PCI controls the rail pressure mainly via the
common rail pump units. 1
The plunger in the pump unit has a fixed
displacement.
PCI controls the effective fuel displacement by
energising the solenoid at a specific point in the
plunger's upward stroke, effectively controlling
the rail pressure build-up.
The effective fuel displacement can be reviewed
using the label "Common rail pump delivery
(actual) in DAVIE, as the calculations are made
continuously.

Common rail pressure release valve


1 Common rail 2 3
2 Release valve
3 Outlet connection

Tasks: 1
- Provide a secondary control mechanism for
rail pressure via fuel leak-off.
- Provide a mechanical pressure relief.
- Provide feedback on the actual rail pressure.
The release valve comprises an electromagnetic
coil connected to a needle, which closes off a
passage between the common rail (1) and the
outlet connection (3).
PCI controls the current flowing through the
magnetic coil, effectively controlling the pressure 1
level at which fuel can flow past the needle.
During normal operation (rail pressure control i406119
using the common rail pump units) the valve is
kept closed.
The discharge pressure of the release valve is
always kept 200 bar higher than the requested
rail pressure. When inactive, the valve has a
discharge pressure of approximately 300 bar.
PCI uses the current level as feedback on the rail
pressure and as a check on the common rail
pressure sensor (F854) signal.

Tasks:
- Dispense the correct amount of fuel into the
cylinders.
- Assist in fuel atomisation by dispensing the
fuel evenly across the cylinder.
To inject fuel, the injector needle is lifted off the 1
nozzle. Fuel can then flow into the cylinder.
PCI energises the magnetic coil (2) to pull the
needle control valve (3) off the return passage in
the needle control valve assembly (4).
The return passage is connected to the injector's
fuel return.
When no fuel is injected, pressurised fuel and the
plunger spring keep the needle pressed against
the nozzle.
The fuel acts on the plunger (6), which is in
contact with the needle.
Opening the passage to the fuel return connects
the area above the plunger (6) to fuel return.
The pressurised fuel acting on the needle (8)
overcomes the plunger spring (7).
Once PCI stops energising the magnetic coil, the
spring in the stator assembly pushes the needle
control valve down.
Fuel is allowed to flow to the area above the
plunger (6).
The pressurised fuel and the plunger spring push
the needle against the nozzle.

PCI uses these values to determine the amount,
composition and density of the fresh air drawn in
from outside.
Together with the measurements coming from
the other sensors in the inlet system, PCI can
determine the oxygen concentration drawn in by
the engine.

- the required EGR flow
- Adequate fuel amount
- engine-out soot and NOx emissions i401972-2

The sensors located in the MX engine's exhaust


help PCI control the exhaust gas flow and
composition.
Once the exhaust gas enters the exhaust
manifold, a portion of it is either recirculated or
discharged to EAS.
PCI must make sure that the required EGR flow
can take place, while also having adequate
control of the intake charge.
Combined, the sensors have the following tasks:
- Determining the exhaust gas volume
- Determining the division between EGR flow
and discharge flow
- Monitoring the conditions for intake charge
control
- Determining the exhaust gas composition
- Monitoring the conditions for EGR flow
- Monitoring conditions in the exhaust system
- Environmental protection, such as exhaust
leaks or component damage
The following sensors are described:
- Pressure sensor after BPV (F823)
- Pressure sensor before turbine (F826)
- Temperature sensor after BPV (F853)
- NOx sensor (F844)

©
201911 3-15
PCI
Components

Pressure sensor after BPV (F823)


This sensor measures the pressure level in the
exhaust pipe connected to EAS, just after the
BPV.
1 The exhaust gas pressure level at this point
provides feedback on the position of the BPV.
The pressure level has a correlation with the
exhaust gas volume. Therefore this sensor is also
used to correct the values coming from the NOx
sensor (F844).
The sensor can also be used to monitor the
pressure drop across the turbocharger when the
BPV is opened.
A low-pressure level after the BPV (when
opened) corresponds to a high-pressure drop
across the turbocharger.
Combined with a high pressure before the
turbine, this indicates a high engine-out exhaust
gas temperature.
Pressure sensor before turbine (F826)
This sensor informs PCI on the actual exhaust
manifold pressure.
This value plays an important role in EGR flow
control and intake charge control.
The sensor is mounted at a distance from the
manifold to protect it from the heat.
The actual measuring point is just after the
collector, before the EGR branch.
The following factors influence exhaust gas
pressure:
- Exhaust gas volume, as a product of
combustion
- Engine speed
- Turbocharger nozzle ring position
- BPV position
- EGR position
PCI needs this information to:
- determine if the required amount of EGR can
be achieved
- determine if the required filling rate can be
achieved using the current VTG actuator
position
- determine if the BPV requires repositioning

PCI
Components

Temperature sensor after BPV (F853)


The sensor data is used for the following:
- Determining the temperature of the exhaust
gas flowing to EAS
- Determining the exhaust gas composition,
specifically the NOx concentration, when the 1
NOx sensor (F844) is not ready
- Calculation of the exhaust gas temperature
before the turbine
NOx sensor before catalyst (F844)
The NOx sensor's working principle resides on an
electrochemical process in which the NOx is
broken down into nitrogen and oxygen, using
catalytic electrodes.
This sensor has a dedicated control unit, which
monitors the current flowing through the sensor's
electrodes and energises the internal heater
element.
It is a two-step process, in which the electrical
current required to remove oxygen from the NOx
is a reference for lambda and NOx concentration.
Tasks:
- Determine the oxygen percentage in the
exhaust gas.
- Determine the nitrogen oxide content in the
exhaust gas.
- Serves as an input for monitoring SCR
efficiency
- Serves as an input for determining the

The VTG actuator controls the position of the C
nozzle ring, which contains vanes.
The nozzle ring determines how much energy in
the exhaust gas is used to propel the turbine
rotor.
This is done by directing the exhaust gas to the
trailing edge of the turbine rotor or around it.
The nozzle ring closes off most of the turbine
housing when fully extended, directing the
exhaust gas into the contact with the turbine
rotor.
This increases the pressure before the turbine
rotor and the turbine shaft speed.

The EGR pressure difference sensor (F751)
consists of two pressure sensors in one housing 4 3
and a venturi through which the exhaust gas
flows (3).
The difference between both measurements is a
reference for the exhaust gas flow.
The EGR pressure difference sensor (F751) is
limited to 125°C in operational use. To prevent
overheating, the EGR pressure difference sensor
(F751) is connected to the coolant system via i401976-2
connections 1 and 4.
Tasks:
- Determine the actual flow of exhaust gas
flowing to the inlet manifold.
PCI uses this sensor to correct its calculations on
the EGR flow (based on exhaust gas
temperature, EGR valve position and pre-turbine
pressure).

Cooling system components
The coolant temperature sensor (F566) emits a
signal that indicates the temperature of the
coolant and, therefore, indirectly the engine
temperature.
Coolant temperature sensor (F566)
PCI uses the coolant temperature value for the
following tasks:
- calculation of the quantity of injected fuel,
injection timing and a number of injection
events
- control of the number of injection events
- calculation of on/off actuation of the fan
clutch
- Display of the coolant temperature on the
DIP
- display of warnings to the driver concerning
high coolant temperature
- limitation of the engine torque when the
temperature is too high
- limitation of the maximum engine speed
when the engine is cold (for a short time)
- fast idle speed control
- cold starting aid

1 PCI locks or releases the fuel supply to the
engine based on the signals coming from the
immobiliser ECU (D426).
The identification procedure between immobiliser
and ignition key starts as soon as the key is
inserted into the ignition.
The immobiliser sends a message to PCI once
the key is recognised and authorised, which in
turns releases the fuel supply and enables starter
motor usage.
After multiple start attempts, the starter motor
protection can be active. This function prevents
starter motor overload.

PCI requires information about the position of the


pistons and the combustion cycle stage of each
of the pistons to determine the injection timing.
The crankshaft sensor (F552) and camshaft
sensor (F559) signals contain unique signal
forms, capable of indicating not only the rotational
speed but also the current position.
The procedure starts when the electronic control
unit detects the first hole at the beginning of a
flywheel segment.
At that moment the ECU starts counting the
crankshaft pulses.

PCI
Control functions

In between the 14th and 15th pulses it checks the


camshaft signal (F558) for the synchronisation
pulse.
If no camshaft signal is detected, the counting
procedure is restarted after the first hole on the
next segment of the crankshaft. 1
Fuel pressure build-up
The fuel lift pump starts supplying fuel to the fuel
gallery as soon as the engine starts turning over.
Pressure increases as the engine speed
increases.
This pump relies on a continuous fuel flow from
the fuel tank. Without adequate fuel flow, the A
common rail pump units cannot build up common
rail pressure.
The fuel pressure sensor (F803) measures the
fuel pressure in the fuel gallery.

PCI controls the common rail pressure level by:


- adjusting the timing of the pump event in the
2 3
pump units
- controlling the current flowing through the
pressure release valve, influencing its
discharge pressure
1
PCI has dedicated operating states for common
rail pressure control.
The following operating states are defined:
- Filling rail
- Pump unit only
- Pressure release valve only
The plunger in the pump unit has a fixed
displacement. PCI controls how much of the
displacement is pumped to the rail. 1
PCI controls the effective fuel displacement by
energising the solenoid at a specific point in the i406119
plunger's upward stroke, effectively controlling
the rail pressure build-up.
The effective fuel displacement is expressed as a
percentage of the maximum displacement.
The effective fuel displacement can be reviewed
using the label "Common rail pump delivery
(actual) in DAVIE, as the calculations are made
continuously.

Rail pressure control in case of malfunction


- Rail pressure limitation
In case of malfunction, the system must be able
to keep the engine running. PCI can switch to rail
pressure control via the common rail pressure
release valve.
In operating state 'Release valve only':
- the effective fuel displacement of the pump
units is no longer corrected.
- the system no longer controls the fuel flow
rate to the rail, but the fuel flow ratefrom the
rail.

4.3 VEHICLE & ENGINE SPEED CONTROL

PCI can control the engine speed either based on


the driver's request or an external request coming

1 from another vehicle system.


The torque request, as described in 'General
system description', can also come other
systems.
PCI converts this to a fuel demand and specific
actuator settings.
Idle control has the following aspects:
- idle control under normal operating
conditions
- fast idle control
- Engine Speed Control
- engine protection during idle
Idle control
Engine idle shutdown timer
When the engine idle shutdown timer is enabled,
the PCI electronic control unit will shut down the
engine after a predefined amount of time.
A timer in the electronic control unit starts
incrementing as soon as the activation conditions
are met.
An indication is given to warn the driver that the
engine shuts down due to an engine idle
shutdown timer event.
- the vehicle speed must be 0 km/h
- engine is at idle
- park brake is engaged
- a stationary regeneration is not active
- coolant temperature above minimum
temperature
In reverse gear
The engine idle speed drops from 550 RPM to
500 RPM, upon shifting to reverse in a manual
gearbox equipped vehicle.
Fast idle control
The purpose of this function is to set a constant,
temporary engine speed higher than the idling
speed.
Fast idle control can be used to increase the
engine speed and to fill the air supply system
faster and warming up of the engine.
This function can only be used when the vehicle
is parked. Fast idle control can be used in
combination with the accelerator pedal.
Fast idle control can be engaged by using the
steering wheel switches.

PCI
Control functions

The first press increases the engine speed by


100 rpm.
The engine speed can then be increased or
lowered in 25 rpm steps, to a pre-programmed
minimum or maximum speed set in PCI.
To return the engine to idle speed, fast idle
1
control can be switched off by using switch 'OFF'.
Fast idle control can only be activated if:
1. the park brake is applied and
2. the foot brake is not applied and
3. the gearbox is in neutral and
4. stationary regeneration is not active and
5. the clutch is not applied
Fast idle control is deactivated if:
1. the park brake is not applied or
2. the cruise control switch is in position 'OFF'
or
3. the foot brake is applied or
4. the clutch is applied or
5. the gearbox is not in neutral
Engine protection during idle
To avoid low oil pressures due to larger bearing
clearances, there is a drop to idle protection, to
maintain sufficient oil pressure.

Engines with normal bearing clearance have


sufficient margin to drop to idle, even at maximum
oil temperature.
Engines with larger bearing clearance do not
experience any problems with the oil pressure as
long as the oil temperature is normal.
However, the combination of larger bearing
clearances and high oil temperatures could result
in a too low oil pressure.
In this situation the engine idle speed must adapt.
When the engine speed increases, the oil
pressure increases too.
Idle speed can be increased temporarily
(maximum 600 rpm) when low oil pressure is
observed.
NOTE: The drop to idle protection
events are logged in PCI the events can
be readout by DAVIE.

The mileage and date and time stamp of the


latest three activations of drop to idle protection
including the corresponding oil temperature are
logged.
NOTE: The drop to idle protection
events does not set a DTC or warn the
driver.

4.4 EGR CONTROL

On the eCampus site, the


ePresentation 'Exhaust Gas

1 Recirculation (EGR)' is available to


support the explanation included in this
training manual.

A = EGR valve module


Air management system (Applicable
B = VTG turbo charger specification week < 2017-25)

EGR is used to reduce NOx emissions by A


controlling the amount of oxygen in the inlet B
manifold.
The EGR control calculates the amount of
oxygen in the fresh air entering the cylinders and
in the exhaust gases leaving the cylinders.
This measurement is used to calculate the
position of the EGR valve and the VTG when
EGR is being used.
The EGR control can deactivate the EGR by
closing the EGR valve if a fault is active or if other
conditions are not met.
This is to prevent high particulate matter
emissions and to reduce thermal stress on the G005872

engine and its components.


If there is an emission-related fault present in the
PCI system that results in shutdown of the EGR
system, the engine power is limited.

4.5 NOX CONTROL

The NOx control monitor monitors the difference


between the engine out NOx commanded value
and the actual measured value.
The commanded NOx value is calculated from:
1
- The injection quantity
- Engine speed
- Intake temperature
- Atmospheric pressure
- Ambient pressure
- Coolant temperature
- Relative humidity
The lambda sensor output provides feedback to
the NOx controller to correct the commanded
value.
Closed loop control function NOx sensors
The basic quantity of AdBlue that is injected
depends on the engine speed, the engine torque
and the exhaust gas temperature.
When the NOx sensor before the catalyst has
measured a certain mass of NOx, then the
quantity of NOx out of the catalyst is measured.
EAS calculates the expected NOx quantity with
the NOx measurement before the catalyst and
the conversion efficiency of the catalyst.
When the actual NOx quantity deviates from the
expected NOx quantity the injected AdBlue
quantity is adapted between its limits. In EAS two
NOx level limits are programmed.
The first limit is used for activation of the MIL lamp
and the yellow warning, the second limit is used
for derating of the engine.

and serves as the engine management system in
the LF, CF and XF.
This manual describes the fourth generation of
the system, found on CF and XF.
Main task
The EAS-4 system provides aftertreatment of
exhaust gases to reduce harmful emissions.
The system must fulfil this task:
- under all operating conditions
- while maintaining proper driveability
- while properly discharging the processed
exhaust gas
- without affecting engine performance

EAS-4
Introduction

Applicability
The fourth generation of EAS was introduced in
Europe in 2017, as a successor to EAS-3, dating
from 2012.
The system can be found in all CF and XF
vehicles equipped with either an MX-11 or MX-13
engine.

2 Unlike EAS-3, this system is available in two


different variants.
Variants
Two versions of the system exist:
- EAS-4 with SCR technology
- EAS-4 with DPF and SCR technology
Technology
The following technologies are applied within this
system:
- Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
- Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

The AdBlue tank, lines and pump module (L172)
are heated with engine coolant, while the AdBlue
heats the AdBlue dosing valve (L174) itself.
The pump module (L172) ensures constant flow
in the AdBlue circuit (B, C, and D).
When necessary, the AdBlue dosing module
(L174) injects AdBlue in the EAS-4 unit.
NOTE:
- The constant flow in the AdBlue

2. SYSTEM
2.1 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst

The catalyst consists of a carrier material with a


wash coating added to the active surface, which
increases the surface of the active material.
2
The active materials, such as platinum, rhodium,
palladium, vanadium pentoxide and other base
metals, are added to the carrier.
The gas flows through the catalyst and the
chemical reactions take place on the surface.
The density, porosity and active catalyst material
determine the efficiency and the speed of the
chemical reactions. i401987

Catalyst dimensions reflect that the exhaust


gases must have time for the chemical reaction to
take place on its surface.
The catalyst material used in the DOC is a
combination of platinum and Palladium.
Platinum is used as the oxidation material.
Palladium, which does not oxidise CO, has an
important stabilising function in the oxidation
process and reduces the catalyst ageing process.
Temperatures
Temperature is an important parameter for the
functioning of a catalytic process. The higher the
temperature, the faster the process.
Task:
- Oxidation of CO and HC (to CO2 and H2O).
- Oxidation of CO and HC (to CO2 and H2O).
- Oxidation of NO to NO2 for DPF soot
conversion (passive regeneration) and
increased reaction in the SCR.
- Increase of exhaust gas temperature for
DPF regeneration (with HC oxidation).

EAS-4
System

Diesel Particulate Filter


Closed Diesel Particulate Filter
Euro 6 vehicles use a closed wall-flow filter,
wherein the exhaust gases are forced to flow
through a porous wall.
This results in a reduction of particulates of up to
90 per cent, compared to installations without a
DPF.
2 In general, this filter fills up during normal driving,
resulting in a higher back pressure and increased
fuel consumption.
Periodically the soot must be removed from the
filter; this is achieved through passive and active
regeneration. i401988

With sufficient temperature and NO2 in the DOC/


DPF the soot burns passively (depends strongly
on duty cycle of the vehicle).
A delta pressure sensor ,measures the soot level
and compares it with the soot level model.
EAS requests active regeneration at a certain
soot level or when a time of approximately 100
hrs is reached.
After that the engine switches into regeneration
mode.
The fuel doser starts injecting fuel when the DOC
inlet temperature above 250 ºC. The injected fuel
creates heat over the DOC.
The soot in the DPF burns at a temperature of
around 500 to 540 ºC.
When the filter is clean, the doser stops and the
system cools down.
The engine switches back to normal operation
mode.
SCR-technology
The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
catalyst, which is integrated into the exhaust
silencer, contains two ceramic elements installed
in parallel.

©
2-2 201911
EAS-4
System

A carrier material (2) which holds the active


catalytic agent (3) is applied to the element (1). 1
2
The surface of the carrier material is very rough
and so the effective area on which the chemical 3
reaction takes place is very large.
Function
The function of the SCR catalyst is to reduce the
NOx produced by the engine to the level that
meets current legislation. 1 2
2
After dosing before the catalyst, the AdBlue (NH3
+ H2O) breaks down into ammonia (NH3) and 3
carbon dioxide (CO2).
The materials in the catalyst attract ammonia
(NH3).
1
The nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases (NOx)
consist of 90% nitrogen monoxide (NO) and 10% 2
nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
The exhaust gas flow through the catalyst comes 3
into contact with the ammonia (NH3) and the
resulting reaction converts the NOx into nitrogen i400705
(N2) and water (H2O).
AMOX-technology
The release of unreacted ammonia from the SCR
catalyst surface into the atmosphere is referred to
as ammonia slip.
The purpose of the AMOX catalyst, which is
located behind the SCR catalyst, is to oxidise the
NH3 converting it into nitrogen (N2) and water
(H2O).
AdBlue
AdBlue is used as a reduction agent in the SCR
part of the EAS system.
AdBlue is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colourless,
odourless and water-soluble liquid.
It consists of 32.5% urea and 67.5%
demineralised water.
Special additives are not permitted.
If AdBlue comes into contact with painted or
aluminium surfaces when filling the tank, rinse
the affected area immediately with plenty of
water.
AdBlue must meet the specifications according to
DIN 70070.
High temperatures
If AdBlue is heated in the tank to 50°C over a long
period of time, the decomposing AdBlue can
produce ammonia vapours.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent odour.

©
201911 2-3
EAS-4
System

For this reason, avoid inhaling possible ammonia


vapours escaping when unscrewing the AdBlue
filler cap.
These concentrations of ammonia vapours are
neither toxic nor hazardous to health.
Low temperatures
AdBlue freezes at temperatures of approximately
2 -11°C.
Measuring urea concentration in AdBlue
The urea concentration in AdBlue can be
measured with a refractometer.
After carefully cleaning the prism and lift-up lid
with a soft, lint-free cloth, put some drops of the 3
sample on the prism (1).
By closing the lift-up lid (2), the sample is 2
distributed evenly.
Point the refractometer to a light or bright
background, so it is easier to recognise the scale 1
and the bright-dark border.
Rotate the eyepiece (3) until the scale is sharp to
the observer. The measured value of the sample
can be read out at the bright-dark border.
G000630

Refractometer scale according to ISO 22241-1


(DIN 70070) indicated for urea solution with
32.5%. The allowable deviation at 68°F (20°C) is 33
between 31.8% and 33.3%. 31

30
Special additives 29
28
Do not add any special additives to AdBlue and 27
26
do not dilute AdBlue with tap water. 25
24
23
This can destroy the Emission Aftertreatment 22

System (EAS). 20

Any damage caused by the use of such additives


or tap water invalidates liability for material 15

Purity
G000629
The AdBlue purity is essential to avoid
malfunctions of the Emission Aftertreatment
System (EAS).
If AdBlue is pumped out of a tank for repair, the
tank cannot be refilled with the extracted liquid,
as its purity is no longer guaranteed.

dosing valve atomises the AdBlue and distributes
the AdBlue thoroughly in the exhaust gas flow.
Due to the location of the dosing valve, the dosing
valve must be cooled down. AdBlue circulation is
applied to cool the unit.
The AdBlue is evenly sprayed into the exhaust
gas flow before the diffuser to create a
homogeneous mixture.
The EAS-4 ECU (D442) activates the dosing

3.6 FUEL DOSING MODULE

1 Coolant return

3 Coolant supply
2 3
The fuel dosing module (L124) is mounted after

2 the Back Pressure Valve. During regeneration,


the fuel dosing module injects fuel into the
exhaust pipe before the Diesel Oxidation
Catalyst. This is to raise the temperature of the
exhaust gas after the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst to
the temperature at which the soot is 'burned' in 1
the DPF by the oxygen in the exhaust gases. The
fuel dosing module is activated with a duty cycle
so the amount of injected fuel can be regulated to
keep the DPF at the correct temperature. The fuel
is supplied at connection (2).

This description explains the operating principle. 1


The fuel dosing module actually mounted on the
vehicle may differ from this description.
Fuel from the fuel intake module enters the fuel
2
dosing module via bore (A). The needle (6) is
partly hollow and fuel enters the chamber (C) via 3
bore (B). 4
The injector needle (6) is pressed onto the needle 5
seat (7) by the retainer spring (3). When the B
electronic control unit energises the coil (2) of the
dosing module, the armature (5) will be lifted 6
against the retainer spring pressure (3). As a
result, the needle (6) is lifted and the fuel from
C
chamber (C), which flows via bore (D), will be
injected. 7 D
The amount of injected fuel depends on the fuel i401681

pressure and the duty cycle activation of the fuel


dosing module.
Effect of the output signal on the system
- Doses fuel into the exhaust;
- thus raising the temperature of the exhaust
gas to 'burn' soot in the DPF.

- the PM sensor (F914) consists of an
electronic control unit and a sensor element
- the electronic control unit communicates with
the EAS-4 ECU via A-CAN
- the sensor contains a heater circuit and a
sensor circuit
Operation
The sensor element consists of two electrodes,
which are heeated to 785°C to burn off soot
deposited on the sensor.
A clean sensor element has a very high
resistance value.
Resulting in ~0 mA current measured through the
electrodes.
Soot particles in the exhaust gasses pass the
sensor and deposit on the sensor electrodes.
As soot is conductive, a small current starts to
flow through the two sensor electrodes.
The current measured by the sensor represents a
certain amount of soot in the exhaust gas.

Pressure buildup process


When the ignition is switched on, the EAS-4 ECU
receives a CAN message from the AdBlue tank
level sensor. The system enters the startup
phase:
1. the pump module starts running when the
tank temperature sensor measures a
temperature above -5°C.
2. the pump module starts to build up the
pressure to approximately 8.5 bar.
3. when the target pressure of 8.5 bar is
reached, the system is ready to inject AdBlue

Pressure control in startup phase


A pressure governer controls the pump speed. It
uses the output of an internal pressure sensor in
the AdBlue dosing valve.
The system makes ten attempts to build up
pressure. If it doesn't succeed, it switches to the
after-run phase and an active fault is set.

2 AdBlue heating process


There are three operating states of the heating
AdBlue tank (+line) heating control
- 1. Defrosting state.
- 2. Maintenance Heating state
- 3. OFF state
Defrosting state is used to thaw frozen
components (tank, lines, and pump module
(L172)).
The controller is in defrost operating state based
on AdBlue tank sensor (F873) (temperature)
Maintenance heating means heating during
operation.
Maintenance heating is used to keep the
components from refreezing once being thawed.
The controller is in maintenance heating
operating state based on AdBlue tank sensor
(F873) (temperature)
OFF state is used when there is no risk of
(re)freezing and no heating is needed and based
on AdBlue tank sensor (F873) (temperature)

PM sensor control
Sensor operation is controlled in three stages:
1. Sensor pre-heating and dew point strategy:
When the engine is started the sensor is
heated to 200°C.
The dewpoint is reached when the exhaust
gas temperature after catalyst is >200°C for
60 seconds.
2. Sensor regeneration (cleaning):
The sensor is heated to 785°C [1445°F], for
2
50 seconds. This burns off the accumulated
soot on the sensor element.
3. DPF efficiency monitor:
The DPF efficiency monitor starts when the
temperature of the PM sensor is <400°C.
During a predefined period soot is
accumulated on the sensor.
At the end of this period the DPF efficiency
monitor determines if the amount of soot is
within the predefined limits.
After DPF efficiency monitoring, the sensor
is heated to a temperature above or equal to
the exhaust gas temperature after catalyst.

Soot levels

The DPF can reach different soot levels


depending on the soot level calculation. There
are four different soot levels. The higher the soot
level, the more soot is collected in the DPF.
Mobile regeneration Stationary regeneration
Soot collection phase Possible (when the soot load is Not possible
(DAVIE: normal) above a threshold value)
Soot level 1 (DAVIE: low) Possible Possible
Soot level 2 (DAVIE: medium) Possible Possible
Soot level 3 (DAVIE: high) Possible Possible
Soot level 4 (DAVIE: severe) Not possible Not possible

When the ignition is switched off, the level for the


amount of soot that is collected is stored in the
EAS electronic control unit.

4.5 REGENERATION

The DPF filters the soot particles from the


exhaust gas.
The collected soot is removed from the filter
(regenerated) in three different ways.

2
The collected soot level in the DPF is shown on
the DIP-5 at the driver's request.
There are three regeneration modes
- Passive regeneration
- Active regeneration
- Stationary regeneration
i401988

Passive regeneration
If the temperature of the exhaust system rises
above a certain level during vehicle use, the soot
is burned automatically in the DPF.
Passive regeneration is preferred because it
does not require additional fuel.
The platinum coating on the surface of the Diesel
Oxidation Catalyst causes nitrogen monoxide
(NO) to react chemically with the oxygen (O2) in
the exhaust gas.
This results in the level of NO being reduced and
the level of NO2 being increased. The chemical
reaction depends upon temperature.
- The lowest temperature at which this
reaction starts is ±200°C
- At temperatures above 325°C the burning of
soot becomes a continuous process; at
temperatures above 650°C damage to the
DPF is a possibility.
The NO2 reacts with the carbon in the DPF. The
carbon (soot) particles are burned by the NO2,
creating nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
If the exhaust gas temperature is low NO2 is not
produced and the soot level in the DPF will
increase.
Active regeneration
When the soot level is above a certain level, the
EAS must burn the collected soot actively.
A fuel dosing valve injects an extra amount of fuel
directly into the exhaust gas stream, causing the
temperature to rise to around 575°C.
At these high temperatures O2 in the exhaust gas
burns the collected soot (C + O2 = CO2).

©
201911 4-13
EAS-4
Control functions

This process takes place under the normal


operating conditions of the vehicle and lasts
about 30 minutes.
This process takes place without driver
intervention.
Stationary regeneration
Soot levels in the DPF build up, when the vehicle
2 is operated under unfavourable conditions in
which passive or active regeneration cannot take
place.
When a certain level is reached, a warning
appears on DIP-5 asking the driver to perform a
stationary regeneration.
This process can take up to 60 minutes. During
this time the vehicle cannot be operated, and the
vehicle must be parked in a safe place with the
handbrake applied.
The engine speed is set to a higher RPM during
the regeneration process.
HC desorb
If the DPF is loaded with HCs, they must be
actively removed to prevent damage to the DPF.
This is likely to happen when the DPF cannot
actively regenerate, for example, after long
periods of being idle (overnight).
A timer is started after a certain engine idle time
and DOC temperature.
When the timer reaches that particular time, a
DIP-5 message appears requesting an active
regeneration.
Under normal operating conditions the collected
HCs would be removed during passive
regeneration and mobile active regeneration.
The driver must start the HC desorb procedure by
pushing the DPF enable switch.
In HC desorb mode, the target temperature is
kept low (at approximately 150-200°C) to
evaporate HC as opposed to burning off the HC.
This is to prevent the DPF temperature
increasing to a point where the HCs would ignite.
HC desorb takes approximately 10 minutes.
If the driver drives off and ignores the DIP-5
warning, a second red warning is displayed and a
DTC is set.

Regeneration via DAVIE


The main purpose of this test is to clean the
Diesel Particulate Filter of soot and to monitor the
regeneration process.
During this test the following values are
displayed:
- Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration status
- Particulate regeneration dosing command
-
-
Regeneration stage
Soot fill monitor status

- Regeneration target temperature
- Temperature before the DOC
- Temperature after the DOC
- Temperature after the DPF
This test is a fully automated test. It is always
possible to abort the test.
Ineffective Regeneration
For certain City type duty cycles it is impossible to
complete a successful DPF regeneration
- Exhaust gas temperature too low
- Continuously trying to regenerate
Increases fuel consumption by the fuel
dosing module
Increases engine-out soot (transient
behaviour)
Affects lifetime of the DPF
- 'Ineffective Regeneration Adjustment Factor'
To avoid this continuous attempt at DPF
regeneration, an ineffective adjustment
factor has been calibrated
Under calibratable conditions (time to meet
target temperature) the next DPF
regeneration will be postponed

Regeneration starts on demand of this sensor or


time-based.
Over time the DPF is filled until the DIP info
reaches a level from where a regeneration is
required.
The soot predictor demands the regeneration.
In this case an active regeneration burns all the
soot. the DIP info resets accordingly to clean.
The DPF pressure sensor still registers a slight
pressure difference due to remaining ash.
This process repeats itself continuously in which
more and more ash blocks the DPF.
The time needed to reach a pressure level that
triggers a new regeneration is shortened by the
remaining ash.
Due to this the time between regenerations gets
shorter and shorter.
Please keep in mind that the restriction is only
noticeable with sufficient exhaust gas flow.

Infuences of exhaust gas flow regarding heat


development for regeneration
Step 1
A exhaust temperature before DOC (F838)
B exhaust temperature before DPF (F839)

Fuel is injected over the DOC in an attempt to


raise the exhaust gas temperature.
driving conditions show a relatively high engine 2
speed and exhaust gas temperatures are
relatively low.
The DOC is extensively heated but the time the
exhaust gasses remain in the DOC is short.
This situation results in not enough time to i406145
transfer the heat to the exhaust gasses.
As a result of this an active regeneration can be
interrupted or not being started in the first place.
Eventually the driver is forced to perform a
stationary regeneration because the conditions
needed are not met.
Step 2
A exhaust temperature before DOC (F838)
B exhaust temperature before DPF (F839)

Fuel is injected over the DOC in an attempt to


raise the exhaust gas temperature.
driving conditions show a moderated engine
speed and exhaust gas temperatures are
relatively low.
The DOC is extensively heated and the time the
exhaust gasses remain in the DOC is sufficient.
This situation results in enough time to transfer
the heat to the exhaust gasses.

The HEST indicator informs the driver that a
regeneration is in progress.
The exhaust gas temperature reaches levels that
