CPC2+ Wiring
Section 3.2
Common Powertrain Controller 2+
The Common Powertrain Controller2 (CPC2+) has three 18–pin connectors and one 21–pin connector.
The following sections contain the connector pin-outs for truck, vocational, and fire truck applications.
The CPC2+ is the interface between the MCM2 and the vehicle/equipment for engine control and
manages other vehicle/equipment functions. See Figure "The Common Powertrain Controller" .
The OEM is responsible for mounting this part in an enclosed, protected environment. The mounting
bracket is the responsibility of the OEM. There must be maximum physical separation of the VIH from
other vehicle/equipment electrical systems. Other electrical system wires should ideally be at least three
feet away from the VIH and should not be parallel to the VIH. This will eliminate coupling
electromagnetic energy from other systems into the VIH. See Figure "CPC2+ Dimensions" for the
CPC2+ dimensions.

Section 3.2.1.2
Water Intrusion
The CPC2+ is not water tight and cannot be subject to water spray. It must be mounted in an enclosed,
protected environment.
Section 3.2.2
CPC2+ Vehicle Interface harness
The four vehicle connectors are designed to accept 18 AWG wires for all circuits.
The conductor must be annealed copper, not aluminum, and must comply with the industry standard
SAE J1128 document.
Color code the wires as shown in the schematics. If the wires used are the same color, hot stamp the
cavity number on the wires.

Note: The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) must be a twisted pair. The twists are a minimum of 39 turns per
meter and are required to minimize electromagnetic field coupling.
Note: J1939 cable is required for the J1939 datalink wires. Refer to SAE J1939–11 spec for specific
requirements.
The low speed proprietary Powertrain-CAN link between the MCM2, CPC2+, and the ACM2 must be a
twisted shielded cable with 0.75 mm diameter wire (approximately 20 AWG), bundle shielded with
drain wire and 30 twists per meter. The insulation is rated to 105°C. Termination resistors for the
Powertrain-CAN link are located in the CPC2+ and MCM2.
z The ACM2 requires battery power to power down after ignition is OFF.
z ACM2 must not be wired through to disconnect switch.
Section 3.2.2.1
Frequency Input
The CPC2+ has one frequency input on the VIH that can accept a variable reluctance sensor. A typical
frequency input functions is the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Requirements for a variable reluctance
signal interface are listed in Table "Variable Reluctance Signal Interface" .
Parameter Range
Input Amplitude Range V Peak to Peak
Input Frequency Range 0 to 10,000 Hz
Section 3.2.2.2
Digital Inputs
These inputs are in low state by providing a connection to battery ground and placed in high state by
providing an open circuit.
Note: Use switches that will not oxidize with the passage of time and environmental factors due to the
low source current.
Section 3.2.2.3
Digital Outputs
There are 15 digital outputs located on the CPC2+. The high power outputs are listed in Table "High
Power Outputs" and the low power outputs are listed in Table "Low Power Outputs" .

Total power harness resistance is determined by shorting together the eight terminals in the ECU
connector, and then measuring the resistance from the battery (+) to battery (-) terminal at the maximum
operating temperature (105°C). Disconnect the harness from the batteries before measuring the
resistance.
Section 3.2.3.6
Communications – SAE J1939 Data Link
SAE J1939 Data Link+, SAE J1939 Data Link-, and SAE J1939 Data Link Shield are used as the J1939
communication link. J1939 cable is required for the J1939 data link. Termination resistors are required
per the SAE specification. Refer to SAE J1939–11 for specific requirements.
Communications to a Scan Tool: All OBD control modules (e.g., engine, auxiliary emission control
module) on a single vehicle shall use the same protocol for communication of required emission-related
messages from on-board to off-board network communications to a scan tool meeting SAE J1978
specifications or designed to communicate with an SAE J1939 network.
The OBD system shall use the following standardized protocol: SAE J1939. This protocol may only be
used on vehicles with diesel engines.
Vehicle Identification Number: All vehicles shall have the vehicle identification number (VIN) available
in a standardized format through the standardized data link connector in accordance with SAE
J1979/J1939 specifications. Only one electronic control unit per vehicle shall report the VIN to an SAE
J1978/J1939 scan tool.
If the VIN is reprogrammed, all emission-related diagnostic information identified shall be erased in
conjunction with reprogramming of the VIN.
NOTICE:
The communication system operation will degenerate if the wrong cable is used.
The CPC2+ connector pin assignments for SAE J1939 are listed in Table "J1939 CPC2+ to VIH
Connector Pin Assignments" .
The following SAE documents cover the SAE J1939 Data Link. Contact the Society of Automotive
Engineers to obtain documents, refer to Appendix C for their address.

Communications – Proprietary Powertrian-CAN Data Link
The proprietary Powertrain-CAN link between the MCM2, CPC2+, and the ACM2 must be a twisted
shielded cable with 0.75 mm diameter wire (approximately 20 AWG), bundle shielded with drain wire
and 30 twists per meter. The insulation is rated to 105°C. Termination resistors for the Powertrain-CAN

Power Supply – 12 Volt System
Normal operating voltage on a 12 V system for the CPC2+ and MCM2 is 11-16 VDC.
NOTICE:
Operating the CPC2+ or MCM2 over the voltage limits of 16 volts will cause damage to the CPC2+ or MCM2.
Operating the CPC2+ and/or MCM2 between 8 and 11 volts may result in degraded engine operation.
(Transient operation in this range during engine starting is considered normal for 12 volt systems.)

NOTICE:
Reversing polarity will cause damage to the CPC2+ and/or MCM2 if the Power Harness is not properly fused.
Note: All output loads, ignition and CPC2+ power must be powered from the same battery voltage
source.

Average Current Draw
The maximum average current draw is listed in Table "Maximum Average Current Draw" . This

Note: Switches must remain closed for 30 seconds after ignition is off for the MCM2 and CPC2+ to
write non-volatile data.
Note: It is recommended that both the positive (+) and negative (-) battery leads be disconnected.
Note: Disconnecting positive power is not sufficient to isolate the CPC2+ for welding purposes.
NOTICE:
When welding, the following must be done to avoid damage to the electronic controls or the engine:
z Both the positive (+) and negative (-) battery leads must be disconnected before welding.
z The welding ground wire must be in close proximity to welding location - the engine must never be used
as a grounding point.
z Welding on the engine or engine mounted components is NEVER recommended.
Note: The alternator should be connected directly to the battery for isolation purposes.

Power Service Literature Page 26 of 27
A Battery (+) fuse and an ignition circuit fuse must be provided by the vehicle wiring harness. Blade-
type automotive fuses are normally utilized; however, manual or automatic reset circuit breakers which
meet the following requirements are also acceptable. The fuse voltage rating must be compatible with
the CPC2+ – MCM2's maximum operating voltage of 16 volts.
FIRE
To avoid injury from fire, additional loads should not be placed on existing circuits. Additional loads
may blow the fuse (or trip the circuit breaker) and cause the circuit to overheat and burn.
FIRE
To avoid injury from fire, do not replace an existing fuse with a larger amperage fuse. The increased
current may overheat the wiring, causing the insulation and surrounding materials to burn.
The ignition fuse current rating must be sized for the loads utilized in each application; however, a rating
of between 5 and 10 amps is usually sufficient.
The Battery (+) fuse current rating must satisfy two criteria:
Bussmann ATC-30 and Delphi Packard Electric Systems MaxiFuse 30 amp rated fuses or equivalent
will satisfy these requirements. Acceptable blow times versus current and temperature derating
characteristics are listed in Table "Fuse Current and Blow Time" and Table "Fuse Temperature and
Current" .
