residues etc. are correctly properly for destruction.
The service manual describes work operations car-
ried out with the aid of Volvo Penta Special Tools,
where such have been developed. Volvo Penta Spe-
cial Tools are designed to ensure the safest and most
rational working methods possible. It is therefore the
responsibility of anyone using tools or working meth-
ods other than those we recommend to ensure that
no risk of personal injury or mechanical damage is
present, or that malfunction can result.

In some cases, special safety regulations and user


instructions may be in force for the tools and chemi-
cals mentioned in the Service Manual. These regu-
lations must always be followed, and no special
instructions regarding this are to be found in the Serv-
ice Manual.

By taking these basic precautions and using common


sense it will be possible to guard against most ele-
ments of risk. A clean workplace and a clean product
will eliminate many risks of personal injury and mal-
function.

Above all, when working on fuel systems, hydraulic


systems, lubrication systems, turbochargers, inlet
systems, bearings and seals, it is of the utmost impor-
tance that dirt and foreign objects are kept away, as
malfunctions or shortened service intervals may oth-
erwise result.

Component description
HCU / Control lever
The HCU in EVC-D is built into the control lever. The
HCU communicates with the PCU and the SUS / SCU
via the EVC bus.

The lever controls use a contactless position sensor to


transfer the levers angular movement. An optical sen-
sor is also used to acknowledge when the levers are
in neutral position.

The position sensor is a Hall sensor that uses two Hall


elements that are orthogonally placed within the sen-
sor. The sensor detects the absolute angular position
of a magnet that is located on the lever axis. When the
lever is turned the magnetic flux changes in both X and
Y in a sinusoidal way. Since the Hall elements are
orthogonally placed the output will be a sinus and cosi-
P0010668 nus wave. These signals are transformed by the inte-
grated DSP (Digital signal processing) circuit into lin-
ear angular information.

PCU*
The PCU can be engine mounted in some installations
or is mounted standalone. It communicates with the
engine and helm station control unit, HCU, via the
standard bus.
P0015344
* PCU = Powertrain Control Unit. There is a decal con-
taining the serial number and CHASSIS ID on the PCU.
The CHASSIS ID number must coincide with the
CHASSIS ID number on the decals on the engine.

SUS*
The SUS consists of a control unit and an electric
motor. The unit is located on the upper gear of the IPS.
Communicates with the SHCU and PCU via the stand-
ard bus.

* SUS = Servo Unit Steering. There is a decal contain-


ing the serial number and CHASSIS ID on the SUS.
The CHASSIS ID number must coincide with the
CHASSIS ID number on the decals on the engine.

hydraulic plate and is mounted near the transom
shield. It communicates with the PCU and HCU, via the
EVC bus.

* SCU = Steering Control Unit. There is a decal con-


taining the serial number and CHASSIS ID on the SCU.
The CHASSIS ID number must coincide with the

The CPM is the control module of the Active Corrrosion
Protection system (ACP). It is connected to the
M transom unit where the passive and active anodes are
CP located. The CPM communicates with the EVC system
via the J1587 bus. All data is presented via the multi-
link.

Inboard
Solenoid valves, Forwards – Reverse (T)
The solenoid valves (V) for gear shifting are located on
the reversing gear.
The valves are ordinary OFF–ON valves which allow
oil to pass to the correct clutch when ON. When suffi-
cient oil pressure has been built up, the clutch is acti-
vated (the oil pressure is raised gradually to give gentle
engagement). In the OFF position, the oil in the clutch
is emptied and the reversing gear goes into neutral.

Solenoid valve, trolling (U)


The solenoid valve is installed on the reversing gear.
The valve opens successively and releases oil to the
trolling valve in proportion to the control position.

Drive position sensor

DPH
The drive position sensor is located in a plastic cover
that is fitted on the steering cylinder. The sensor is
shaped like a pen and is fitted alongside the steering
cylinder. The steering cylinder piston is equipped with
two magnets. The drive position sensor is a magneto-
resistive sensor which means that the sensor resist-
ance will change when influenced by the magnets on
the cylinder piston.

Repair Instructions
General advice on working with EVC
engines
The following advice must be followed to avoid dam-
age to the engine control unit and other electronics.

IMPORTANT!
The system must be disconnected from system volt-
age by cutting the current with the main switch when
the engine control module connectors are discon-
nected or connected.
• Never disconnect the current with the main switches
when an engine is running.
• Never undo a battery cable when the engine is run-
ning.
• Turn the main switches off or disconnect the battery
cables during quick charging of the batteries.
NOTICE! During normal trickle charging, it is not
necessary to turn the main switches off.
• Only batteries may be used for start help. A help
start device can produce a very high voltage and
damage the control unit and other electronics.
• If a connector is disconnected from a sensor, be
very careful to avoid allowing the contact pins to
come into contact with oil, water or dirt.

30-2 Fault Tracing

30-2 Fault Tracing

General
Fault tracing in the EVC system
Tools:
88820047 VODIA, diagnostic tool

Check that the system has the correct power


supply.
The best way to retrieve diagnostic information from
the EVC system is to use the VODIA tool (3838619).
The VODIA tool shows the fault codes as text, and you
can retrieve information about each fault code.

Fault codes from the PCU, SUS / SCU and HCU can
be read from any helm station. In a twin installation, the
codes can only be read from the network, driveline, in
which the node is located.

When VODIA is connected to the port network, VODIA


can only show fault codes from the port PCU, and vice
versa for the starboard side.

The following must be done before fault


tracing continues, to avoid changing
functional sensors:
• If there is an active / inactive fault code
Remove the connector from the sensor. Check that
there is no oxidation and that the connector pins are
not damaged.
NOTICE! Some fault codes become inactive when
the engine is stopped. Start the engine to check
whether the fault code is still inactive with the engine
running.
• After an action with the connector
Put the connector* back. Check if the fault code
becomes inactive. Check faults that could be related
to that specific sensor. If the fault remains, measure
the cables and sensors to check them, as instructed.
NOTICE! * No grease in the connector.

30-2 Fault Tracing

Fault tracing of cables and


connectors
Tools:
88890074 Multimeter

IMPORTANT!
Cut the current with the main switch before the cables
are disconnected.

Check all connectors visually


• Look for oxidation which can impair contact in con-
nectors.
• Check that terminals are undamaged, that they are
correctly inserted into their connectors, and that the
cable is correctly terminated in the terminal.
• If possible, shake the cables and pull the connectors
during measurement to discover whether the cable
harness is damaged.
• Check that the cables are not damaged. Avoid
clamping cables in tight bends close to the connec-
tor.

It can be difficult to check whether there is a cable fault


in a cable when it is installed in the engine. For this
reason, always keep checked extension cables in the
fault-tracing equipment. Connect the extension cable
to one end of the cable that is to be checked and run
it back to the other end of the cable. This to allow each
conductor to be checked individually. After this, all the
pins can be checked.

1 Use multimeter 88890074 to check the cables. The


uninsulated parts of the conductors in the cables
should not be in contact.
Disconnect the cable at both ends and measure
the resistance between all pins to check for short
P0006690
circuit between conductors. The multimeter should
show infinite resistance between each pin. If the
A Y-split multilink resistance is less than infinite, there is a fault.
B Multilink break-out connector
2 Do a resistance check through each of the con-
ductors in the cable to detect if there is any open
circuit. Connect one probe to pin1 in one connector
and connect the other probe to pin1 in the connec-
tor in the other end of the cable (this don't apply to
all Y-splits. Some Y-splits have different pin con-
P0010669 figuration). The resistance should be approxi-
Multilink hub internal pin wiring. mately 0 ohm. Continue through all pins in the con-
nector.

30-2 Fault Tracing

If the CAN bus cables between the engine control unit


and the PCU need to be checked, the resistance can
also be checked when the cables are connected to the
other end.
1 Disconnect the PCU.
2 Measure the resistance between pin 17 (yellow/
white conductor and pin 7 (gray/yellow conductor)
against the engine control unit (EDC7).
Measurement points Nominal value
17 – 7 R ≈ 120 Ω

3 Repeat the measurement in the other direction.


Connect the PCU and disconnect the engine con-
trol unit.
4 Measure the resistance between pin 1 (yellow/
white conductor and pin 2 (gray/yellow conductor)
towards the PCU.
Measurement points Nominal value
1–2 R ≈ 120 Ω

30-2 Fault Tracing

Fault tracing of the EKS system


If the system does not unlock when a key is shown in
front of the EKS panel it could be for one of these rea-
sons:
• Main power off
• Port PCU has been replaced or reprogrammed
• Key failure / invalid key
• EKS panel failure
• EKS wiring failure
NOTICE! If it is a virgin system an auto configuration
must be performed so that the EKS panel is recognized
by the EVC system. Before an auto configuration is
done the EKS panel LEDs will not be lit but an auto
configuration can be performed.

Preconditions: A key is shown in front of the EKS panel.


Symptom: The system does not unlock.
Possible reason: • Main switch off.
• Invalid key ID (key ID not stored in the PCU).
• Port PCU has been replaced or reprogrammed.
• Internal failure in the key.
• Internal failure in the EKS panel.
• Bad connection, open circuit or short circuit in the EKS panel wiring har-
ness.
Suitable action: 1 Check main switch status.
2 Try with another key that been previously added to the system.
If more than one EKS panel is in the system, try the key in front of the other
EKS panel. This to exclude panel failure.
3 If port PCU has been replaced or reprogrammed, perform the “Add first
key” operation.
4 Try with another EKS panel.
Since the key ID is stored within the PCU the EKS panel can be changed
without system changes, no auto configuration is needed.
5 Change the EKS wiring harness.
6 Perfom the “E-key virginize” operation to virginize the system and add new
keys to the system.

30-2 Fault Tracing

DTC categories
The DTC category describes what type of system that is affected by the DTC. Typical EVC system categories
are: EVC bus communication, EVC bus power, System mismatch, Programming etc.
In the WSM almost all DTCs have a DTC category connected to the DTC. This could be helpful if the system has
multiple DTCs to see which systems that are affected and trying to find the primary set DTC and the root cause.
Eg. A system has multiple DTCs from HCU, PCU and SUS. All DTCs fits in the category “System mismatch”. This
shows that the nodes in the system says the same thing: There is a hardware (configuration) or software mismatch
within the system. This is the root cause.

DTC category: Transmission system
Fault code explanation: The gear shift actuator can not reach requested gear shift position.
Fault indication: Red alarm status.
Fault stored in memory: Yes.
Symptom: Engine shutdown.
Conditions for fault code: Deviation between the requested gear shift set point and current position.
The selector fork does not reach expected endpoint within specified time limit.
DTL = 200 milliseconds
Possible reason: • The gear shift wire runs too hard or was connected to the selector fork
before the actuator had found its starting position.
• Bad wiring between the gear shift actuator and the PCU.
• Fault in the actuator output driver in the PCU.
Suitable action: 1 Be sure to use Volvo Penta's recommended low friction gear shift wire.
Disconnect the gear shift wire from the actuator and check that the gear
shift wire runs as smoothly as possible. While the wire is disconnected
let the actuator find its starting position by turning the start key to posi-
tion 1.
Change between forward, reverse and neutral and check if the actuator
behaves properly.
The actuator will make a jump to its starting position. Turn the starting
key to position 0 and connect the gear shift wire.
2 Perform a Vodia log test.
Logging parameter Transmission range attained changes status
between D, N, R when the new position is reached. So if the actuator
does not reach its position the parameter will not change status.
Logging parameter Shift actuator position relative to pot supply shows
the actuator position with a feedback voltage value.

Hydraulic oil temperature sensor


The hydraulic temperature sensor consists of a ther-
mistor which forms a closed circuit with the SCU. The
thermistor resistor changes in a non-linear manner,
depending on the hydraulic oil temperature. The SCU
pin 3 provides the thermistor with a reference voltage
of +5 Volt.

When the hydraulic oil is cold, the thermistor resistance


is high. As the hydraulic oil warms up, the resistance
in the thermistor drops and the voltage drop across it
drops.

Steering solenoids
An electromagnetically controlled 3-position (open
starboard, open port, closed) proportional valve
located in the valve plate controls the hydraulic flow
through the valve plate to the steering cylinders located
at the drive. There are two solenoids controlling the
valve position, one starboard solenoid and one port
solenoid. The starboard steering solenoid controls
when to let the hydraulic flow through to the port steer-
ing cylinder located at the drive.

When the starboard steering solenoid is activated the


hydraulic pressure makes the the port steering cylinder
push the drive to starboard and the boat will turn to
starboard. The control signal from the SCU to the
steering solenoid is a PWM (pulse width modulated)
signal. When ignition is on and the engine is stopped
the SCU is checking the steering solenoids by putting
out a small current through the steering solenoids.
The voltage between pin 14 and pin 42 at the SCU is
normally high when STBD steering solenoid is acti-
vated.
The voltage between pin 13 and pin 28 at the SCU is
normally high when PORT steering solenoid is acti-
vated.

at the drive. When turning the ignition key from 0 to 1
the service solenoid is activated and opens a hydraulic
circuit between the steering cylinders and makes it
possible to move the drive by pushing it by hand. As
soon as the engine is started the service solenoid is
closed.

The voltage between pin 10 and pin 25 at the SCU is


normally high when the service solenoid is activated.
The control signal from the SCU to the service solenoid

Drive position sensors


DPH
On each DPH drive there are two drive position sen-
sors. One on the port side of the drive and one on the
starboard side of the drive. The drive position sensor
is located in a plastic cover that is fitted on the steering
cylinder. The sensor is shaped like a pen and is fitted
alongside the steering cylinder. The steering cylinder
piston is equipped with two magnets The drive position
sensor is a magnetoresistive sensor which means that
the sensor resistance will change when influenced by
the magnets on the cylinder piston. When the drive
turns one sensor resistance will fall while the other
sensor resistance will raise. When the resistance in the
sensors changes the output voltage from the sensors
also changes.

DPS
On each DPS drive there are two drive position sen-
sors. The DPS drive has one steering cylinder with two
drive position sensors fitted along the cylinder side,
one at top and one at bottom. The sensor is shaped
like a pen and is fitted alongside the steering cylinder.
The steering cylinder piston is equipped with two mag-
nets The drive position sensor is a magnetical resistive
sensor which means that the sensor resistance will
change when influenced by the magnets on the cylin-
der piston. When the drive turns both sensors resist-
ance will change and the output voltage from the sen-
sors also changes.

Circuit description
The drive position sensor is an active sensor i.e. the
sensor must have supply voltage. Pin X3:8 on the SCU
provides the sensor with a voltage of +5 V. Pin X3:37
in the SCU is connected to the sensor negative wire.
The output signal from the drive position sensor to pin

Multilink bus
The multilink bus is a 2 wire, twisted pair, differential,
proprietary bus. It consists of a display/panel/interface
power supply with negative supply on X5:4 and posi-

L bus uses X5:1 and X5:2, the CAN H bus uses X5:3
and X5:5. From the HCUs point of view the CAN bus
uses pin 2 and pin 5 as bus output and pin 1 and pin 3
is used for bus input to the HCU. The communication
speed is 250 kbit/s.
The multilink bus handles information between the
drive trains such as engine rpm synchronization and
display/panel/interface data.
In the twin HCU/lever unit the syncronization data
between the drivelines are exchanged internally
between the HCUs while the display/panel data is
transferred through the multilink bus.

In a triple or quad installation when a stand alone HCU


is used syncronization data is transferred through pin

The aux network is used to exchange information in
and around the engine room. The multisensor, the
CPM and other engine room based units are con-
nected to this network.
Depended of which unit to connect, an adapter y-split
must be used between the unit and the aux bus.

The aux bus is powered by an external power supply


or by the PCU. The autoconfiguration of the system
decides which alternative to be used. If the bus is
externally powered, pin 1 is used.
If the PCU is the supplier, pin 6 is used. If the PCU is
used, the bus is powered up when ignition on.

Transmission oil and temperature


The transmission oil temperature and the transmission
oil pressure sensor is a combined sensor. The sensor
is an active sensor, i.e. the sensor must be connected
to a supply voltage.
Pin 15 on the PCU provides pin 1 on the sensor with
supply voltage of +5 V. Pin 4 on the sensor is con-
nected to battery negative via pin 45 on the PCU.
The output signal from the transmission oil pressure
sensor pin 2 on the sensor to pin 64 on the PCU, is a
voltage signal that is proportional to the transmission
oil pressure.

The transmission oil temperature sensor consists of a


thermistor which forms a closed circuit with an internal
P0016849 reference resistor in the PCU. Depending on the trans-
mission oil temperature, the thermistor changes its
resistance value in a non-linear manner.
The PCU puts out current through the thermistor and
measures the voltage drop over the thermistor via PCU
pin 45 and pin 66. Pin 4 on the sensor is connected to
battery negative via pin 45 on the PCU.
When the oil is cold, the thermistor resistance is high
and the PCU senses a high voltage drop. As the oil
warms up, the resistance in the thermistor drops and
the voltage drop across it alters.

Inboard:
The slip/low speed solenoid and the propeller shaft
speed sensor is connected to the PCU. The solenoid
is connected to the PCU pin 7, high side output, and
pin 9, low side output. The PCU is controlling the sol-
enoid output condition by using a PWM signal.
The propeller shaft speed is monitored by the PCU
using an inductive speed sensor, that monitors a tooth
wheel, connected to pin 49 and pin 45. The output sig-
nal from the propeller shaft speed sensor is used by
the PCU to calculate the degree of slip.
P0016854

IPS:
The propeller shaft speed is monitored by the PCU
using an active phase sensor, that monitors a tooth
wheel. When the shaft rotates, the sensor receives an
impulse each time there is an airgap in the tooth wheel.
The output from the sensor is a square wave which
frequency is proportional to the engine rpm.
The speed sensor is powered by 5 V by the PCU pin
15 and pin 45. The output signal from the propeller
shaft speed sensor is used by the PCU, pin 49 and pin
12, to calculate the degree of slip.

Gear shift actuator


The gear shift actuator contains an electric motor that
drives the selector fork and a potentiometer that func-
tions as a position sensor. There is a potentiometer
supply voltage, pin 2(-) and pin 5(+) in the gear shift
actuator connector, of about +4 V. The feedback signal
on pin 4 in the connector is a voltage signal. In neutral,
the feedback signal voltage is about +1.9 V. When the
selector fork is in its end positions, the feedback signal
voltage is either +0.5 V or about +3.3 V.

The electric motor that drives the selector fork receives


its power from the PCU. The voltage output to the
P0016848 motor in the gear shift actuator from the PCU is battery
voltage. The direction in which the motor moves (the
selector fork moves) depends on the polarity of pins 1
and pin 3 in the gear shift actuator connector (A).

The negative power supply to the potentiometer is not


equal to battery negative. The voltage drop between
the negative power supply to the potentiometer and
battery negative is about 0.5 V.

valve pin 2 which indicates valve open. PCU pin 53 is
connected to CWES valve pin 4 which indicates valve
closed.

30-2 Fault Tracing

DPS gateway
The GPS node is communicating with the EVC system
via the DPS gateway. The GPS node communicates
with the DPS gateway via a CAN bus. The DPS gate-
way converts the GPS information to be used by the
multilink bus.
The GPS node bus consists of a power supply with
negative supply pin 4 and positive supply on pin 6.
CAN L bus uses pin 2 and CAN H bus uses pin 5. There
P0015717 is also a shield connected to pin 3.

Joystick
The joystick is used as input to the steering pin and
docking functions. The movement of the joystick is
monitored by three different sensors. One for the hor-
izontal movement, one for the vertical movement and
one the monitors the turning angle of the joystick. All
three sensors output signals are voltage signals. The
voltage signals are between 0-5 volt depended of the
joystick movement. These signals are then translated
into CAN messages which are sent through the steer-
ing control bus to the HCU.
All joystick data that is exchanged on the steering con-
trol bus is transmitted to both drivelines as redundant
data, i.e. the data in both drivelines should be the
same.
Each driveline HCU transmits its set of joystick signals,
synchronization information, to the other driveline HCU
via the sync bus. The HCU compares the values.

NMEA
NMEA is a communication standard used in marine
applications such as plotters, navigational instruments
etc.
It is based on CAN technology. The communication
speed is 250 kbit/s. The NMEA network requires a 120
ohm termination resistor at each end of the netwok.
Maximum distance for any device connected to the
network is 6 m.
Supply voltage for NMEA is +12 V.

IMPORTANT!
The NMEA bus must always be properly terminated.
No NMEA bus connector must be left open.

VP autopilot connection
The VP autopilot system contains of an autopilot dis-
play and a CCU (course computer unit). Both units are
connected to the multilink for interaction with the EVC
system. The NMEA network is used for communication
between the display and the CCU.

IMPORTANT!
The NMEA bus must always be properly terminated.
No NMEA bus connector must be left open.

CPM
The ACP system uses an active anode protection sys-
tem to protect the drive legs. By controlling, managing,
a DC current, the system maintains a targeted potential
difference between the drive legs and a Ag/AgCl ref-
erence electrode. The drive legs become a cathode in
an electrochemical process. For optimal protection the
CPM keeps the potential of the drive legs at approx.
-450 mV with the Ag/AgCl electrode as negative refer-
ence.

The CPM is connected to the J1587 bus via the diag-


nosis connector or via the customer interface and to
the multilink. The service tool and the PCU communi-
cates with the CPM via the J1587 bus. All ACP infor-
mation presented in the EVC system is sent through
the multilink.

CPM configuration
The CPM is connected to the J1587 via the diagnosis
connector or via the customer interface and to the mul-
tilink. The service tool and the PCU communicates with
the CPM via J1587.
All ACP information presented in the panel or display
is sent through the multilink.

NOTICE! The CPM must be installed and auto config-


ured to the port side network. If installed and auto con-
figured to starboard side network it will not work prop-
erly.

Use Vodia to check/change the CPM


chassis ID
1 Connect the VODIA tool to the diagnostic connector
on the outer port engine.
2 Perform the "ACP Chassis ID Check" operation,
found under section "Electric Systems & Instru-
ments".
3 Verify that the PCU Chassis ID displayed is equal
to the New CPM Chassis ID, then confirm by press-
ing OK.
If the PCU Chassis ID and the New CPM Chassis
ID displayed are not equal, change the New CPM
Chassis ID to concur with the PCU Chassis ID
before confirming.
