To keep the engine in top running condition it needs to be adjusted periodically. Knowing how to adjust it properly is every soldiers job.
NOTE: Inform the students of the following Terminal Learning Objective requirements. At the completion of this lesson, you [the student] will: Action: Conditions:

Terminal Learning Objective

Perform Diagnostics on the VTA-901T Diesel Engine. In a classroom environment given an applicable vehicle; general mechanic's tool kit; additional tools; TMDE; equipment as indicated in the technical manuals; a maintenance request or equipment inspection worksheet describing equipment malfunctions and other applicable publications.

Standards:

IAW applicable technical publications, procedures, and specifications. When this task is complete, the vehicle must be fully mission capable. 1. Complete the solution sheet as the group performs the task. Once the group has correctly performed a step, place a check in the column. 2. Ensure that each student participates. Rotate students so that all members of the group use references, tools, and perform the hands on steps of the task. If time permits, repeat the task with different members performing different steps. 3. Ensure that the group completes each performance step IAW applicable references. 4. If a safety violation occurs, stop the group, correct on the spot and restart the group. 5. If a student misses the practical exercise or a team needs training for longer than the PE allows, then conduct this training IAW TRADOC regulations. 6. Check all work, have students clean work area, and store equipment.

Safety Requirements

Hearing protection will be used when equipment is in operation. Safety goggles, should be worn while working under a vehicle. Hard hats will be worn when using an overhead lifting device. Remove all jewelry and I.D. tags before any work is started. Use safety stands while vehicle is in the raised position. Low - It is the instructor's responsibility to conduct a risk assessment prior to instruction using FM 100-14 as guidance. A copy of the risk management work sheet must be present at time of instruction.

Risk Assessment Level

Environmental Considerations

NOTE: It is the responsibility of all soldiers and DA civilians to protect the environment from damage.

When working with equipment, in the event of an accidental spill of hydraulic fluid, fuels, oils, solvents, acids, and coolants, the spill must be contained and cleaned up immediately. Floor dry sweep is the most effective material to contain and clean up environmental spills. The student will report the incident to the instructor immediately. The instructor will direct appropriate cleanup actions. All contaminated floor dry materials must be stored in a separate container. The container must be inspected by qualified environmental specialists to determine proper disposal procedures. Additional warnings and cautions concerning environmental hazards will be explained to you at the applicable point in later lessons.
Evaluation

Describe how the student must demonstrate accomplishment of the TLO. In lesson 63H34E07, Job Knowledge Test, the student must achieve at least a 70% score and complete the test within one hour.

(e) 800 RPM + idle (f) 2970 RPM +70 max governed speed (g) 2450 lb. Weight (h) PT (type D) fuel injector NOTE: NOTE: b. Refer students to TM 9-2815-219-34, page 1-4 to follow along. Show Slide 5. Location and Description of Major Components: (1) Aftercooler-The aftercooler cools the hot air from the turbocharger before it goes into the air intake manifold. This helps the engine operate more efficiently. (2) Turbocharger- The turbocharger, driven by exhaust gases, forces combustion air into the engine cylinders. This produces more horsepower for a given amount of fuel. (3) Vibration Damper- The vibration damper is mounted on the front of the crankshaft and helps absorb engine vibrations. (4) Oil pan- the oil pan is a one-piece, deep sump; aluminum casting that holds oil after it passes through the engine. (5) Air Intake Manifold- The left and right air intake manifolds carry compressed air from the aftercooler to the cylinder heads. NOTE: NOTE: Refer students to TM 9-2815-219-34, page 1-5 to follow along. Show Slide 6. (6) Transmission Fluid Cooler- The transmission fluid cooler is a water-oil heat exchanger. It cools the hydraulic fluid used in the vehicle transmission. (7) Fuel Pump- A pressure time (PT) air fuel control (AFC) pump delivers fuel to the cylinders according to engine speed. (8) Flywheel- The flywheel, mounted at the rear of the crankshaft, helps smooth engine power strokes. The starter ring gear fits around the rim of the flywheel. (9) Starter Motor- The starter motor engages the starter ring gear on the flywheel to start the engine. (10) Engine Oil Cooler- The engine oil cooler is a water-oil heat exchanger. It cools the engine lubricating oil. (11) Exhaust Manifolds- The left and right exhaust manifolds route exhaust gases from the cylinders to the turbocharger.

NOTE: NOTE:

Show Slide 7, and point out actual locations on engine. Show Slide 8 and 9. (12) Fuel Filter- Mounted on the engine access door

NOTE: c.

Show Slide 10. Differences between engines: There are two different types of engines used in the MLRS. The first is the Cummins V-type, Turbocharged, and After-cooled (VTA) -903 Tactical (T) 500 horsepower, used on base MLRS and earlier versions of the A1. The second type will be standard for MLRSA1 models and it is the Cummins V-type 600 horsepower or big cam engine. The differences all deal with horsepower. The changes are(1) 3 camshaft- used to increased torque. (2) Improved Intake System-coolant flows through the after cooler cooling the air making it denser. (3) Aerodynamic Exhaust System-provide less restriction for exhausts gases. (4) HT5C Turbocharger-larger turbo to facilitate increased airflow. (5) Engine Lubrication System- uses a 7 gallon pan to hold 1.5 more gallons of oil for cooling and lubricating, a 40 GPM oil pump which is more efficient, tube and fin oil cooler is added to cool engine oil, and oil is injected directly onto the bottom of piston to cool it better. (6) Cold Start System preheats fuel for better combustion.

NOTE: 2.

Conduct a check on learning and summarize the learning activity. Learning Step / Activity 2. Identify the characteristics and function of the CENTRY System. Method of Instruction: Instructor to Student Ratio: Time of Instruction: Media: NOTE: Conference / Discussion 1:16 20 mins Small Group Instruction (SGI)

Show Slide 11. a. CENTRY System: The Centry System is an all speed electronic engine fuel control system capable of precisely controlling the engine to a preset RPM by programming the Electronic Control Module. The Centry System has a built-in monitoring diagnostics that will alert the Operator/Maintainer via a fault lamp. The fault lamp will either flash or stay steady depending on the severity of the fault detected. The fault codes can be assessed using the fault lamp. More in-depth diagnosis can be performed with the troubleshooting procedures supplied in the MSD.

b. NOTE:

Components of CENTRY System:

Show Slide 12 and 13. (1) CENTRY PT Fuel Pump- includes the fuel block, which adapts the new Fuel Shut-Off Valve (FSOV). The Centry PT Pump provides the regulation of fuel through the input and assistance of the Rail Pressure Sensor (RPS) and Electronic Fuel Control (EFC) valve. The PT Pump is located in front of the power plant above the transmission interface assembly. (2) Electronic Fuel Control Valve (EFC)- Meters fuel into the engine proportional to a direct current voltage signal received from the ECM. The EFC Valve is located within the PT Pump. (3) Engine Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (RPS)- Converts engine fuel rail pressure into a proportional direct current voltage sensed by the ECM. The RPS is attached to the fuel block located on top of the PT Pump.

NOTE:

Show Slide 14 and 15. (4). Electronic Control Module (ECM)- Mounted to a bracket attached to the transmission Interface Assembly (IA). Additionally, this bracket provides mounting capabilities for the TPS and 3W100 to 3W101 connection. The ECM receives Throttle Position Sensor, Engine Speed Sensor, and Rail Pressure Sensor inputs. It uses sensor inputs and an application specific calibration, stored in memory, to provide an output to the EFC valve for fuel metering. (5). Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)- Mounted to the same bracket as the ECM. The TPS converts rotational displacement of a shaft, which is mechanically connected to the accelerator pedal, into a proportional direct current of voltage that is sensed by the ECM.

NOTE:

Show Slide 16 and 17. (6). Magnetic Pick Up/Engine Speed Sensor (ESS)- A dual inductive pickup provides a signal proportional to engine RPM to the ECM. The ESS is located on the right side of the flywheel housing.

NOTE:

Show Slide 18. (7). Wire Harness 1W100- this harness connects from J19 on the Improved Electronic Distribution Box (IEDB) to 3W100 (P1). Interfaces include J1 of 1W101 (FSCV Bypass Switch) and J1 of 3A100 (Fault Lamp).

NOTE:

Show Slide 19.

10

(8). Wire Harness 3W100- connects from J1 of 1W100 to J1 of 3W101. Interfaces include E1, E2, and E11 (Electronic Fuel Control Valve), P4 and P7 (Engine Speed Sensor), P2 (Magnetic Clutch Assembly), P3 (Fan Speed Control Valve), P9 and E4 (Data Link), P6 and E13 (Throttle Position Sensor), P8 (Rail Pressure Sensor) and J1 (TEC Transmission). NOTE: Show Slide 20 and 21. (9) Wire Harness 3W101- connects from P5 of 3W100 to P1 of ECM. 3W101 houses the sensor return line. NOTE: Show Slide 22 and 23. (10) Improved Electronic Distribution Box (IEDB)- additional connectors were added to the distribution box to accommodate. The CENTRY System. The connectors are the J14 through J19. J16 and J17 are not used at this time. NOTE: Show Slide 24 and 25. (11) CENTRY Fault Light and Switch- located inside the engine access door, the fault light and switch are used to display faults diagnosed by the CENTRY Fault System. This is accomplished by a series of blinking lights and pauses. NOTE: NOTE: Show Slide 26. Every time the Master Power switch is turned ON the yellow fault lamp will flash for one or two seconds as part of the normal powerup. If the lamp stays lit or starts flashing steady, there is an active fault code. It is imperative that when stopping the engine the user will use the fuel cutoff handle and NOT turn master power to the OFF position. Failure to do this will result in a loss of non-critical fault codes present in the ECM. c. Follow the Steps below to read a fault code: (1) Turn on Master Power Switch. (2) Depress diagnostic switch momentarily. (3) Read fault code. (4) Depress diagnostic switch momentarily. NOTE: If the same fault code repeats there is only one fault code. If a new fault code appears toggle the fault code switch until the original fault code reappears then all fault codes have been identified. (5) Read fault code. NOTE: Show Slides 27 thru 29 and discuss the fault codes.
