1 Review
The Common Rail injection system with the EDC 7 control unit was introduced in the D0836 engine at
MAN in 2002; the engine of the D20 series then followed in 2004, and all the other series followed suit in
the subsequent years. To date, the EDC 7 control unit and the Common Rail injection system have been
continuously enhanced and optimised. The most important information about this can be found below.
2 Short descriptions
The generation of the injection pressure and the injection are decoupled in the Common Rail injection
system. The fuel for the individual cylinders comes from a shared accumulator (rail) which is constantly kept
at high pressure. The accumulator is pressurised by a high-pressure pump. This pressure can be changed to
suit the operating conditions in question.
Each cylinder in the engine is equipped with an injector which is controlled by a solenoid valve. The injection
volume is determined by the outlet cross-section of the injector, the solenoid valve opening duration and the
accumulator pressure. At MAN, hydraulic components are/have been fitted in which a system pressure of up
to 1800 bar can be achieved (status 07/2010). In future, rail pressures of up to 2500 bar and higher are
anticipated.
Separation of the injection pressurisation and injection functions allows a better injection characteristic and,
therefore, improves combustion development. The injection pressure may be selected freely from the maps
stored in the EDC 7 control unit. Multiple injections per working cycle, i.e. pre-injections, main injection and
possibly post-injections, are possible. The fuel volume, start of the injection and the injection are controlled
by extremely fast solenoid valves in the injectors.
3438PEen
Page 6 of 157
At MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, there are currently three variants of the Common Rail injection system with different
injection pressures in use:
Date: 07/2010
Variant 1:
EDC 7 C3 control unit, design of the Common Rail injection system for 1600 bar fuel system pressure.
At MAN, however, the first engines – such as the D0836LFL40, the D2876LF12 or the D28 V-engine – are
only operated with a Rail pressure of 1400 bar.
Variant 2:
EDC 7 C32 control unit, 1600 bar fuel system pressure. In use in EuroIV, e.g. in the D2066LF31 engine
Variant 3:
EDC 7 C32 control unit, 1800 bar fuel system pressure. In use e.g. in the engine D08 EuroV and D20
(e.g. D2066LF51) and D26 with EGR.

Main components of the Common Rail injection system
High-pressure pump
The volume-controlled high-pressure pump delivers as much fuel as required to the rail until the desired
fuel pressure (Rail pressure) is reached.
Rail
The Rail contains a defined accumulator volume at the fuel pressure required for the injection. The Rail
is connected individually to all the solenoid-valve-controlled injectors via high-pressure fuel lines.
A Rail pressure sensor is attached to the Rail to measure the fuel pressure.
Injector
Every injector in the Common Rail injection system is controlled by a quick-action solenoid valve.
By actuating the solenoid valve, the injectors can inject a defined volume of fuel from the Rail into the
combustion chambers of the engine. Multiple electrical actuation of the solenoid valve enables multiple
injections (up to 5 per working cycle).

2.2 EDC 7 control unit for the Common Rail injection system
The most important basic functions of the EDC 7 are shown below:
3438PEen
Page 9 of 157
• Exhaust gas temperature and exhaust gas management
• Charging pressure governing system
• Signal acquisition and calculation of operating variables
• Diagnosis and monitoring function
• On-Board Diagnosis (OBD) functionality, from Euro IV
• EDC internal temperature
The lowest and highest temperatures in the control unit are permanently stored.

2.3.2 Injection start control
The injection start has considerable influence over the power, fuel consumption, noise emissions and
exhaust gas behaviour. The setpoint for the injection start is determined by the engine speed and the
required injection volume. The values for the injection start are stored in maps.
This module covers the calculation of the injection start for the following:
• Pre-injection
• Main injection
• Post-injection
Apart from the engine speed and injection volume, the following factors among others also influence the
calculation of the injection start:
• Coolant temperature
• Charge-air temperature
• Atmospheric pressure
• EGR rate
• Engine start phase

2.3.6.2 Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Reduction of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gas is an essential precondition for achieving compliance
with currently valid emission regulations.
The exhaust gas recirculation is a measure for reducing the NOx shares in the exhaust gas.
With exhaust gas recirculation, part of the exhaust gas is added to the inducted air volume to further reduce
the combustion temperature. This measure increases the specific heat capacity of the intake air and reduces
the oxygen content.
Over the years, the control/governing of the external exhaust gas recirculation has been enhanced so that
there are now three versions in use at MAN:
• Non-controlled exhaust gas recirculation (from EDC 7 C3 V24)
The EGR adjusting cylinder is actuated by the EDC 7 control unit. The EGR is deactivated under
certain temperature conditions, firstly to prevent the condensation of sulphurous acids at low charge
air temperatures and secondly to prevent excessive heating of the charge air by the recirculated
exhaust gas. The EGR adjusting cylinder has a built-in dry-reed contact which monitors the EGR
shut-off flap position, to detect whether the EGR shut-off flap is open or closed.
The non-controlled exhaust gas recirculation is used in the D08, D20, D26 and D28 engine series
with EuroII, EuroIII and EuroIV (classification pending).
• Position- and lambda-controlled exhaust gas recirculation (from EDC 7 C32 V43)
In order to reliably comply with the more stringent NOx limit values applicable from EuroV, an even
more precise EGR governing system is required. This is achieved by storing an EGR rate instead
of a flap angle in the engine map for each operating condition.
The oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas flow is measured using a oxygen sensor built into
the exhaust pipe and the actual EGR rate is calculated from this. The term “lambda probe” is also
referred to as “oxygen sensor” in MAN-cats. This value is compared with the specified values of the
EDC 7 control unit and, in the event of discrepancies, it is regulated in a control circuit with the EGR
adjusting cylinder.
The lambda-controlled exhaust gas recirculation is used in the D08, D20 and D26 engine series with
EuroV or EEV and OBD2.
3438PEen
Page 13 of 157
Due to the variety of series and types for engines with the Common Rail injection system and the different
versions of exhaust gas recirculation systems, you will find below reference values that are crucial for the
enabling and/or disabling of the exhaust gas recirculation.
The exhaust gas recirculation is blocked and/or the EGR shut-off valve is closed:
• at a coolant temperature below approx. 60 °C or over approx. 95 °C
• at a charge-air temperature after the intercooler below approx. 10 °C or over approx. 70 °C
• at an engine speed below approx. 1100 rpm
• in the partial load range
• during acceleration or in engine braking mode
Further information can be found in the system description T 18, Rail injection, among other sources.

2.3.6.3 Engine protection functions
To protect the engine against mechanical and/or thermal overloads, the engine torque, i.e. the fuel injection
volume, is reduced when certain operating circumstances occur, when specified sensor actual values are
exceeded or when certain functions are deactivated.
Below, you will find a list of the factors which may limit the engine torque in the context of engine protection
functions.
Note:
Engine protection functions may lead to a considerable reduction in power. This may lead to a modified
driving style which could in turn lead to increased fuel consumption. These factors should therefore be taken
into account when searching for causes in the event of complaints about power output and fuel consumption.
Reasons for a possible reduction in the fuel injection volume (across all engine series and emission
classes):
• Ambient air temperature is in the range between approx. + 30 and + 55 °C
• Ambient air temperature is in the range between approx. + 30 and + 45 °C
in vehicles additionally equipped with cooling equipment (radiator and intercooler) for countries with
ambient air temperature above approx. 35 °C. The term “ambient air temperature” is also referred to
as air temperature and external temperature in MAN-cats.
• Coolant temperature higher than approx. 98 °C
• Exhaust gas recirculation has been blocked (in engines with exhaust gas recirculation) and coolant
temperature is higher than approx. 98 °C and/or mixture temperature (intake air and exhaust) in the
air distributor pipe (intake manifold) is higher than approx. 80 °C
• As protection for the SCR catalytic converter or the PM catalytic converter or with a diesel oxidation
catalytic converter at exhaust gas temperatures higher than 560 °C.

are various additional functions integrated in the control unit which can assist the workshop when repairing
the engine.
• Engine test functions
- Actuator test

- Rev-up test
- Cylinder shut-off test
- High-pressure test
- Pressure-limiting valve open test (In MAN-cats, also referred to as opening test for
pressure-limiting valve.)

2.6 Data exchange with other control units (CAN data-bus architecture)
Upon the introduction of OBD, a change in the CAN data-bus architecture became necessary for technical
reasons. The background involved, among other factors, the diagnostic access using MAN-cats II.

CAN terminating resistor, EDC 7 C32 control unit
With the introduction of the new CAN data-bus architecture and the EDC 7 C32 control units, the engine
CAN databus and the OBD CAN data bus can no longer be monitored as before with the 120 Ohm
terminating resistor.
The terminating resistors have been replaced internally in the EDC 7 C32 control unit with switchable
terminating resistors. This means that the engine CAN data bus and/or the OBD CAN data bus can no longer
be tested as before directly on the vehicle management computer (FFR) and/or the AdBlue control unit in the
supply module when the control units are connected. 120 Ohm is measured instead of the expected 60 Ohm,
and the system then incorrectly concludes that faulty wiring or a faulty control unit is present.
Measurements can therefore only be performed when the EDC control unit is disconnected, the ignition is
switched off and the test box is connected or using the oscilloscope (ScopeMeter)!

3 Component description/operation
Information about the components that are not described here can be found in the system description of
the Rail injection for the Common Rail injection system with the control unit EDC 7 (see also Section 7.2).
The socket assignments of the various control units can be researched in the EDC 7 system description and
in MAN-cats II in the information portal in the system information details under EDC 7 Bosch Overview and
assignment control unit plugs.

3.2 Rail
The Rail is responsible for storing fuel at high pressure. The storage volume of the Rail is designed to
dampen pressure fluctuations that arise due to the fuel transfer of the high-pressure pump and the injection.
As an additional measure for damping pressure fluctuations, throttles are pressed into the high-pressure
sockets for the injector.
The volume of the Rail is calculated so that the pressure can be maintained at a virtually constant level even
when relatively large volumes of fuel are removed. This ensures that the injection pressure remains constant
when the injectors are opened.
The pressure-limiting valve and the Rail pressure sensor are attached to the rail. The term “pressure-limiting
valve” is also referred to as “pressure limiter” in MAN-cats.
At MAN, Rails are/have been fitted that are coordinated with the various versions of the Common Rail
injection system and that are designed for the injection pressures of 1400 bar, 1600 bar and currently
1800 bar.
In the course of technical enhancements, the production processes for the Rail have been converted
from the earlier forged steel (EuroIII) to a tube made of welded steel (EuroIV, EuroV, EEV).
Moreover, the pressure-limiting valve has been integrated into the Rail and so now externally forms a
unit with the rail.
Pressure-limiting valve
Note:
There is a risk of confusion due to the identical
appearance of the pressure-limiting valves for
1600 bar and 1800 bar fuel system pressure!
Please therefore ensure when replacing that the
pressure-limiting valve for the correct fuel system
pressure (1600 bar or 1800 bar) is fitted. Pressure-limiting valve

3.3 Injector
The injectors are integrated in the cylinder head and have the same function as the nozzle and nozzle holder
in conventional injection systems. The injector has the following tasks:
• Blind hole nozzle
• Hydraulic servo system
• Solenoid valve
Function of the injectors
The forces required to open and close the nozzle needle cannot be generated just with a solenoid valve. For
this reason, the nozzle needle is controlled indirectly via a hydraulic force booster system. When the solenoid
valve is closed, the same pressure is present in the entire chamber volume as in the rail. The nozzle needle
is pressed into position by a spring.
When the solenoid valve is opened, fuel flows from the valve control chamber into the fuel return line. The
inlet restrictor prevents complete pressure compensation, and the pressure in the valve control chamber
falls. The excess pressure in the chamber volume raises the nozzle needle against the spring force of the
nozzle spring and the injection begins.
The solenoid valve is no longer activated and closes the opening to the fuel return line. As the pressure in
the valve control chamber increases, so does the force applied to the control pistons. As a result, the nozzle
needle is closed and the injection ends.
The injectors are sealed from the combustion chamber by a copper sealing washer.
The injectors are attached with tensioning elements in the cylinder head. Depending on the design of the
injection nozzles, the injectors are suitable for straight/angled installation.

Overview of new and replacement injectors
At present, there are not only new parts for injectors but also replacement injectors available. They have
been prepared in the context of factory repairs. In the process, all wear parts are replaced by new parts,
regardless of their degree of wear, and all reusable parts are thoroughly cleaned, checked extremely
precisely that they are in full working order, reworked or replaced by new parts.

3.4 High-pressure pump
The high-pressure pump is the interface between the low-pressure circuit and the high-pressure circuit of
the fuel system.
Its task is to always provide sufficient compressed fuel in all operating ranges. This also includes the
provision of a fuel reserve that is required for a fast starting procedure and a rapid pressure increase
in the rail.
The high-pressure pump constantly generates the system pressure for the rail.
Two versions of the CP 3.4 high-pressure pump are fitted at MAN with differing low-pressure circuits:
• High-pressure pump, lubricated with engine oil, and with external hot/cold circuit
• High-pressure pump, lubricated with fuel, and with internal hot/cold circuit
It is possible to determine which version of the high-pressure pump and of the low-pressure circuit are fitted
by inspecting the fuel lines in the area of the Fuel Service Center (KSC), among other possibilities. In the
event of possible function and/or leakage checks, it is necessary to take the different versions of the
low-pressure system into account. See Section 3.4.1 for examples of the D20 engine series.
• CP3.4 High-pressure pump, lubricated with engine oil, 1600 bar fuel system pressure, e.g.
D20 engines with the emission class EuroIII
• CP3.4+ High-pressure pump, lubricated with fuel, 1600 bar fuel system pressure, e.g. D20, D26
engines with the emission class EuroIV
• CP3.4H+ High-pressure pump, lubricated with fuel, 1800 bar fuel system pressure, e.g. for D20,
D26 engines with the emission classes EuroV and/or EEV

3.5 Fuel Service Center (KSC)
A Fuel Service Center is used on Common Rail engines.
The KSC combines the fuel pre-filter, the hand primer pump, the main filter and a permanent vent in one
compact component, optionally with or without heating element.
A fuel pressure sensor is mounted on the housing of the Fuel Service Center to monitor the fuel pressure in
the low-pressure circuit. The filter area is around 50% larger and finer than with conventional filters. The fuel
pre-filter can be washed.
There is a 0.3 mm bore at the highest point inside the Fuel Service Center. This permits continuous venting
of the fuel low-pressure system (permanent venting).
Components and connections of the Fuel Service Center:

3.5.1 Fuel filter replacement
When changing the filter, the same level of cleanliness must be ensured as for exchanging an injector,
for example.
Drain cock
D2868LF
• Open the filter cover fully and remove together with the filter insert.
In the D284x V-type engines, also remove, clean and re-insert the filter housing
• Check that the vent hole for permanent venting is free (clean).
• Close the drain screw at the bottom of the filter or the drain cock (D2868LF) again.
• Important: Do not clean the inside of the filter housing, because there is a great risk that dirt
will pass to the clean side while the filter insert is missing.
• Fit a new filter insert in the filter cover.
• Renew the sealing ring of the filter cover and grease lightly.
• Fit filter cover and screw tight. Tightening torque 25 Nm.
• Using the hand primer pump, pump until resistance can be felt and the overflow valve on the
high-pressure pump opens.

3.6 Pressure-limiting valve (DBV)
The two-stage pressure-limiting valve is mounted on or in the Rail and functions as a safety valve with
pressure limitation.
A drain orifice is opened if the Rail pressure is too high.
In normal operating state, a spring presses the piston into a valve seat so that the Rail remains closed.
The piston is pressed open against the spring by the Rail pressure only if the maximum system pressure
is exceeded.

3.7 Proportional valve (ZME)
The proportional valve and high-pressure pump are matched to one another in production. Therefore always
use a replacement proportional valve for test purposes. Never use the proportional valve of another
high-pressure pump (for example from another vehicle).
A functioning proportional valve controls in a very narrow range, i.e. the % value indicated in the Monitoring
of MAN-cats II only fluctuates by a few tenths of a percentage point at idling speed. If the value jumps by
several % points, it must be assumed that the proportional valve is jamming.
The values of the proportional valve can be checked in the Monitoring under Rail control (proportional valve)
In MAN-cats, the term "Rail control (proportional valve)" is also referred to as Rail control (proportioning
unit).Î Output value Rail pressure controller. See Section 6.2.1.4.
Note:
The standard proportional valve is not available as a replacement part.
This means in practice that the workshop checks on the high-pressure pump which standard proportional
valve is fitted, in order to deduce the appropriate replacement proportional valve (see table).
The Bosch part numbers listed in the table will help in finding the correct replacement proportional valve.

3.8 Display messages and check lamps

3.10 Identification of hardware and software control units:
Before starting the work, e.g. updating the control unit, use MAN-cats II to identify which hardware and
software is installed in the vehicle.
For this purpose, select the following menu items in the main menu of MAN-cats II:
Diagnosis Î Engine/Exhaust gas aftertreatment Î EDC Î Control unit identification
These details could be useful for later work, therefore you should make a note of them or print the screen.
• System designation In MAN-cats, the term "System designation" is also referred to as Control
unit name. – Code 0x97:
In the EDC 7 system, the designation of the engine type is stored under System designation.
For example, the change of the engine type could be checked here after flashing the control unit. This
could be the case when changing the engine type from no torque reduction in an OBD error case to an
engine type with torque reduction in an OBD error case.

• Withdraw torque limiting In MAN-cats, the term "Withdraw torque limiting" is also referred to as
Withdraw torque limit. – code 0x83:
Use/availability in following software versions:
• From EDC 7 C32 V32
In the course of OBD monitoring, errors are detected that may, in various cases, lead to torque limiting
and activation of the “Exhaust gas aftertreatment” check lamp.
After a successful repair, the workshop has the option of resetting the torque limiting. This represents a
deep intervention into the system and is documented with the date and workshop code (identification
number, fingerprint) in code 0x83!
See also Section 6.2.4.1, Withdraw torque limiting.
• Emission certification In MAN-cats, the term "Emission certification" is also referred to as
Exhaust certification. – code 0x96:
Code 0x96 documents the emission class, e.g. EEV, E4 (EuroIV), etc. and the level of the On-Board
Diagnosis e.g. OBD1, OBD1b or OBD2.
• Manufacturer software version In MAN-cats, the term "Manufacturer software version" is also
referred to as Control unit version number. – code 0x95:
Here, the software version implemented in the control unit is displayed. A change to the software
version, e.g. after flashing the control unit, may be checked here.
Various engine test functions and the structure (illustration) of various Monitoring windows within

5 Function parameters (FUP)
A function parameter set is a configuration element in the vehicle data file. It includes one or more
parameters (also from different control units) for activating a specific vehicle functionality and for
adjustment to the current vehicle conditions.
The vehicle data file includes, among other elements, a large number of function parameter sets which
all together describe the configurable functionalities of the vehicle.
Usually a modification of the function parameter sets (FUP) is required only after exchanging the
components, e.g. control unit and/or when making improvements. For this purpose a conversion data
file must be requested. In many cases, this can be done online (MAN-cats II) in the course of campaigns
(Service Information notices) or by ordering from the ESC department competence centre. For the ordering
procedure from the ESC department, see SI 3237SM.

switches to a replacement value or substitute function stored in the control unit.
In the case of most of these faults, the signal is monitored constantly. If the sensor or signal path is detected
as intact over a defined period of time, the defect categorisation is cancelled and the system switches to the
actually present value.
You will find below an overview of the input variables/sensors that are applied (assigned) with replacement
values in the control unit and are disclosed in the appropriate Monitoring windows in MAN-cats II and/or must
be taken into account during troubleshooting:
Example of defect categorisation

Page 65 of 157
A meaningful diagnosis with MAN-Cats II is possible only when the engine is running. The following
examples are based on tests with the engine running and at standstill, an engine temperature greater than
30 °C and an ambient air temperature of approx. 20 °C.
In the event of deviating general conditions and actual values that may therefore differ, the values displayed
in MAN-cats II must be compared with the measured values documented in the repair manual T18.
• Coolant temperature
o Setpoint for an engine at operating temperature: approx. 80 to 90 °C
On the subject of the coolant temperature and its effects, see also Section 2.3.6.3 – Engine
protection functions.
o Replacement value: 100.4 °C, in D20, D26 engine with AdBlue system
• EDC internal temperature

6.2.1.3 Monitoring pressures
• Charging pressure
The displayed charging pressure is a relative pressure in relation to the atmospheric pressure. The
EDC 7 control unit therefore outputs the pressure differential between the measured value read out
in the charging pressure sensor and the value in the atmospheric pressure sensor. See item
“Atmospheric pressure” in the same Monitoring window
o Setpoint: approx. - 30 mbar to 50 mbar (engine idling, depending on engine type)
For other setpoints, see “Minimum load pressure reference values” list (SI 301100)
In the case of an intact exhaust turbocharger system, a partial vacuum can only be measured in the
intake pipe during idling. Excess pressure always sets in at higher speeds.
If this is not the case, check the following components:
− Wastegate socket (jams, carbonised)
− Exhaust turbocharger (cracks, carbonisation (SI 277800), general damage, damage to the vanes
of the turbine wheel and/or compressor wheel, axial play and radial play)
Note on charging pressure check:
The maximum possible charging pressure can only be determined on an incline when fully loaded after
approximately 1 min in this condition.
• Atmospheric pressure
The currently prevalent atmospheric pressure is displayed, measured by the atmospheric pressure
sensor integrated into the EDC 7 control unit.
• Oil pressure
The engine oil pressure is measured by the EDC 7 control unit, but does not have any influence on the
calculations in the EDC 7 control unit. The measured value is provided to the vehicle management
computer (FFR) via the engine control CAN data bus.
o Setpoint: 1.0 bar to 6 bar (with engine idling).
o Replacement value: 1 bar in D20, D26 engine with AdBlue system
3438PEen
Page 68 of 157
• Recorded fuel pressure ahead of the filter In MAN-cats, the term "Recorded fuel pressure ahead
of the filter" is also referred to as registered fuel pressure before the filter.
The fuel pressure on the low-pressure side is displayed, measured by the fuel pressure sensor (B377)
in the Fuel Service Center (KSC).
Note: The fuel pressure sensor was originally not fitted in the D08 engine series.
o Setpoint: 5.0 bar to 6.0 bar (with engine idling and new and/or unsoiled filter).
Note:
At starting speed, a fuel pressure of over 3.0 bar should be generated within
2 seconds in an intact system.
o Replacement value: 1.0 bar in D20, D26 engine with AdBlue system
In the case of a fuel pressure greater than 8 bar, the fault memory entry 00094-1 is stored in the EDC
7 control unit, and in the case of a fuel pressure lower than 2.5 bar, the fault memory entry 00094-2 is
stored.
Information about possible causes and their remedy can be found, among other places, in the system
description about the accumulator injection for the Common Rail injection system with the EDC 7
control unit (see also Section 7.2).

• Rail pressure controller starting value In MAN-cats, the term "Rail pressure controller starting
value" is also referred to as Output value Rail pressure controller.
The activation value for the Rail pressure controller, i.e. the proportional valve, is displayed under this

that form.
However, experience shows that this value is extremely helpful in assessing the governing of the Rail
pressure and the integrity of the fuel system. The value is never static, because this is part of the
control circuit for the Rail pressure.
o Setpoint at idling speed: lower than 6 %
Note: A value over 6 % for the idling speed indicates a possible leak in the fuel system.
Opening the proportional valve wider is an attempt to compensate for this.
If the output value for the Rail pressure controller jumps up several percentage points,
the cause could possibly be that the proportional valve is jammed.
Another possible cause could be a sluggish high-pressure pump.
• Status of the pressure-limiting valve In MAN-cats, the term "Status of the pressure-limiting valve"
is also referred to as Status of pressure relief valve.

6.2.1.7 Monitoring Cylinders
The Cylinders monitoring window supplies information to the smooth running control function (adaptive
cylinder balancing control). This function is designed to ensure even engine running, especially when idling.
This is achieved with an individual adjustment of the fuel volume for each cylinder.
Note: The smooth running control function is only active when idling and/or in the engine series D08 and
D2868 (V8) it is always inactive.
3438PEen
Page 77 of 157
• Fuel volume correction, cylinder 1 to n
Under these items, the deviations determined by the control unit (increase or reduction in injection
volume) from the actual injection setpoint volume per cylinder calculated for this operating state are
displayed for you.
On the basis of these values, it is also possible to reach conclusions about the engine status in
connection with the compression test and the rev-up test. Information about evaluating the displayed
values can be found on the following page.
Note: The Smooth running control function is not active in the engine series D08 and D2868 (V8):
you will therefore not see any deviations under this item, but only static values (0 mg/stroke).
3438PEen
Page 78 of 157
Assessment of the Cylinders Monitoring window:
Attention:
For fault-memory entries 00651 to 00656 and if there is a short-circuit in the control unit injector current path,
the injectors of a bank (output stage in the control unit) are deactivated and the bars of the relevant injectors
go to the same negative values in the smooth running control.
Sample analysis:
• If Cylinder 2 is performing poorly, the adjustment amount for Injector 2 is therefore increased.
• If the engine still does not run evenly, the adjustment amount for injector 4 is also increased.
• To ensure that the engine does not then run too quickly, the injection volumes for cylinders 1 and 5 are
reduced in the present example.
It is therefore possible to detect a group of injectors where two injectors demonstrate an added volume (+)
and one injector, and in some cases even two injectors, demonstrate a reduced volume (-).
In this combination (+ + -), the first cylinder, i.e. cylinder 2, is the one performing poorly.
However, this does not mean that the injector in the second cylinder is defective, but simply means that, in
our example, the second cylinder is the one with the poorer performance. Other checks are necessary to be
able to determine what is the cause of the present fault, because the cause for poor performance may also
be a lack of fuel or poor compression, for example. Therefore always perform a compression test and a
rev-up test.
3438PEen
Page 79 of 157
If greater deviations are displayed, the user should check in the “Status of the injectors” Monitoring window
whether any physical faults may be present in the path of an injector.
Further information about possible causes and their remedy can also be found in the system description
about the accumulator injection for the Common Rail injection system with the EDC 7 control unit
(see also Section 7.2).

Page 80 of 157
6.2.1.8 Monitoring Status of the injectors
Diagnostic functions of the control unit continuously monitor the output stages (banks) of the injectors. This
makes it possible to detect physical defects such as line discontinuities or short-circuits in the control unit –
cable harness – injector current path. Depending on the fault type and categorisation, the injection of the
affected cylinder, and in individual cases the injection of an output stage (two cylinders) is disabled.
A faulty “injector” should also be noticeable in the Cylinders Monitoring window.
• Line discontinuity at cylinder In MAN-cats, the term "Line discontinuity at cylinder" is also
referred to as Line interruption on cylinder.
The cylinder that is categorised as defective (current path) is displayed.

A changeover from the operating mode Closed-loop control (standard) to the operating mode
Open-loop control is carried out, for example, if the control difference is outside the specified range,
the EGR shut-off flap is opened or the charging pressure falls below a specified value in the current
operating state.
The changeover is reversed immediately if the conditions for closed-loop control are fulfilled again.
The following operating modes are possible:

Page 91 of 157
Differences in Exhaust gas aftertreatment Monitoring window:
In vehicles without AdBlue system, and only exhaust gas recirculation (illustration, top), the exhaust gas
differential pressure sensor signal voltage is displayed at the marked position, whereas in vehicles with
AdBlue system (illustration, bottom) the exhaust temperature after exhaust gas aftertreatment is displayed
at the marked position.
• Exhaust temperature before exhaust gas aftertreatment
The values of the exhaust gas temperature sensor (B561, B633) are displayed, which is fitted before
the PM catalytic converter (EGR system) or at the AdBlue mixer ahead of the SCR catalytic converter
(AdBlue system).
The measured value is provided for various monitoring tasks within the EDC and acts, for example, as
a protection against thermal overload in the exhaust manifold, the exhaust turbocharger, the exhaust
silencer, etc. via the quantity limit function.
o Setpoint:
o Replacement value: 100 °C, in D20, D26 engine with AdBlue system

particulate filter.
Depending on the exhaust gas aftertreatment, PM catalytic converter or CRT filter (bus/coach), the
measured pressure of the exhaust is displayed as compared to atmospheric pressure (exhaust gas
relative pressure sensor) and/or the pressure drop at two measuring points (exhaust gas differential
pressure sensor).
If the specified value is exceeded, a regeneration of the catalytic converter/filter (PM or CRT) is
initiated. See also “Regeneration status” item in this Monitoring window.
o Setpoint: less than 60 mbar (PM catalytic converter), see following notes
Approx. 150 mbar (CRT filter) in D08 engine
Approx. 200 mbar (CRT filter) in D28 engine
o Replacement value: 15 mbar (PM catalytic converter)
Notes:
In normal operation, the exhaust gas differential pressure at breakaway speed should be under
60 mbar. Hold breakaway speed for approx. 5 s until this condition stabilises. With values over
60 mbar, the catalytic converter/filter may be blocked or a developing blockage may be present.
In a vehicle with a PM catalytic converter and at engine standstill, a setpoint of 0 to 3 mbar should be
displayed. In the event of a negative measured value, the cause may possibly be a defective exhaust
gas relative pressure sensor or the pressure measuring line to the exhaust gas relative pressure
sensor (hairline cracks).

6.2.2 Engine test function
In order to support Service, test routines have been implemented in the EDC 7 control unit as well as
troubleshooting on actuators, which reduce and/or limit the effort involved in troubleshooting the fuel system
(low-pressure and high-pressure sides) and on mechanical components (engine compression) of the engine.
In recent years, more and more engine test functions have been developed, so that today (07/2010) the
following tests are available, depending on the software version for the EDC 7 control unit:
For better evaluation of the damage pattern/symptoms, you should always carry out the following tests
in this order:
• Compression test
• Rev-up test
• Monitoring window Cylinders
• High-pressure test (only as from vehicles with a control unit as from software version EDC 7 C32
V34.1)
Further information about engine test functions can also be found in the system description on accumulator
injection for the Common Rail injection system with EDC 7 control unit (see also Section 7.2).

6.2.2.1 Actuator test
Available in MAN-cats II:
• as from EDC 7 C32 software version 30
Description:
The actuator test makes it possible to actuate different actuators for test purposes, to gather acoustic
(“click-clack test”) or visual (visual check) feedback about the function of the actuator.
The actuation period and the selection of the components to be actuated are defined by MAN-cats II.
Depending on the test it is possible in different cases to enter various values in the tester, in order to set – for
example – a desired duty cycle or pressure for test purposes.
The “Actuator test” menu item is offered by MAN-cats II only if suitable actuators, for example for
exhaust-gas recirculation, are fitted.
Note:
If no visual check of the EGR shut-off flap is possible despite activation by MAN-cats II, the possible cause
in the case of position-controlled or lambda-controlled exhaust gas recirculation may be either a defective
proportional valve (Y458), a defective compressed air shut-off valve (Y460) or its activation. During a check,
also pay attention to electrical and pneumatic lines.
See also SI 276700, Section 3 in the case of trucks and buses/coaches with D0834 or D0836 engines.
In the case of the D08 engine with the emission class EuroIV or the emission class EEV and OBD 1,
the compressed air shut-off valve (Y460) is fitted on the frame side!

6.2.2.2 Compression test
Available in MAN-cats II:
• as from EDC 7 C32 software version 20
Description:
The compression deviations of the individual cylinders are determined with the help of the compression test.
The starter must be actuated via the ignition lock until the control unit has measured the speeds at BDC
(bottom dead centre) and shortly before TDC (top dead centre) for all cylinders.
The speed briefly reaches its minimum at the TDC of each cylinder. This is the point of maximum
compression.
General conditions for test
• Battery 100% charged
• Engine at operating temperature, greater than 75 °C
• Warm up the vehicle by driving; do not let it warm up whilst stationary
• After completing the compression test, switch off the ignition without fail (otherwise the control unit
remains in test mode!)
Low speed:
Good: Maximum difference ± 2 rpm Value too low:
Unclear: to ± 5 rpm; incorrect valve Problem at cylinder 4
clearance possible Maximum difference: 5 rpm compared
Defective: The difference greater than to previous and/or following cylinder

An example is shown below (Cylinders Monitoring window), which represents fuel correction volumes for an
engine with an insufficient compression on cylinder 4.
Note: If the compression test indicates mechanical damage, this must be remedied before
it is possible to come to a conclusion about the injectors with the rev-up test.

Page 108 of 157
6.2.2.3 Rev-up test
Available in MAN-cats II:
• as from EDC 7 C32 software version 30
Description:
The rev-up test allows a check of the cylinders with regard to their even function. For this purpose, cylinders
are switched off consecutively and the engine is then accelerated from idling speed. In the process, the time
required for acceleration is measured. A major deviation for the deactivated cylinder indicates faulty injection
or a defective cylinder.
There are faults that only have an effect when Rail pressures are higher. To increase the clarity of the rev-up
test you can select different Rail pressures for the rev-up test using MAN-cats II with control units as from
software version EDC 7 C32 V35.
Injectors that are stuck (e.g. (as a result of poor quality fuel or FAME fuels) can now be detected with the
rev-up test:
• At low Rail pressure there is a bad test result across all cylinders
• At high Rail pressure there are no abnormalities
The rev-up test for higher Rail pressures is analysed using the same process as for selecting Normal.
Please perform a compression test and evaluate it before performing a rev-up test. Cylinders with a low
compression will also indicate faults during the rev-up test.
Only if the compression test of a cylinder does not result in any abnormality and the rev-up test indicates
a fault, a fault in the injection is highly likely. It can have electrical, mechanical or hydraulic causes.

Page 110 of 157
Example for a test result where cylinder 3 shows abnormalities:
In the present example, the engine reaches almost the same engine speed acceleration as in the first rev-up
test where no injector was switched off although an injector at cylinder 3 is switched off in the second test.
For this reason, cylinder 3 is not working optimally during normal operation.
This does not mean that the injector at this cylinder is faulty, however!
This only means that the respective cylinder has a lower power output. This means that the engine
mechanics must be checked as well: valve clearance, compression, etc.
The rev-up test should thus only be evaluated in conjunction with the compression test. The rev-up test only
compares the cylinders with each other. The test result must also fit the fuel correction quantities in the
Cylinders Monitoring window.
Average value in the present example: 163 Do not include this value
to create an average
Calculating the permissible deviation using value because it is
figures based on experience: already too far off the
• Calculation of an average value of all cylinders that other values.
are approximately at the same engine speed level
• A deviation of ± 25 rpm from this average is still OK.
In the above example, cylinder 3 is outside the
permissible deviation with a value of (163 - 74 =) 89
Note:
• The rev-up test only provides usable results if the previously performed compression test was OK!
• The rev-up test only compares the cylinders with each other.
• The test result must also fit the fuel correction quantities in the Cylinders Monitoring window.
Please see next page
3438PEen
Page 111 of 157
During the rev-up test cylinder 3 was identified to
have values outside the permissible deviation.
As a result, cylinder 3 therefore demonstrates a
large positive fuel correction volume.
This is intended to compensate for reduced power
output of the cylinder.

• as from EDC 7 C32 software version 30
Description:
The cylinder cutoff test offers Service the possibility to exclude a certain cylinder from injection while the
engine is idling, i.e. no fuel is injected into this cylinder.
This makes acoustic diagnosis possible, e.g. to identify a faulty cylinder. This becomes necessary if an
electrical fault cannot be detected but the engine is not producing the expected power output, e.g. as a
consequence of mechanical or hydraulic faults.

6.2.2.5 High-pressure test
Available in MAN-cats II:
• as from EDC 7 C32 software version 34.1
Description:
The high-pressure test is intended for fast detection of faults caused by leaks (e.g. also for error messages
03775, 03776, 03777, 03778, 03779, 03780, 03781) and indicates whether the fault is on the pressure
supply side (high-pressure pump or proportional valve) or on the consumer side (injector, pressure pipe
socket, pressure-limiting valve).
Test sequence:
During the test MAN-cats II automatically actuates four engine speed values (800/700/700/700 rpm).
The Rail pressure is increased to system pressure (1600 bar or 1800 bar) and lowered again to 600 bar
for each individual engine speed (800/700/700/700 rpm). During this process, the time for pressure
build-up and pressure reduction is taken and the results are presented in a table.
Note:
The test result is invalid if engine speeds of — 800/1200/1400/1800 rpm — are actuated.
Cause:
There is a high probability that this is a control unit with an older software version 34)

Evaluating a high-pressure test (1600 bar system):
Please observe that other limit values apply to 8- and 12-cylinder V-type engines that are not fitted into
vehicles:
Engine (not fitted in vehicle) Minimum limit value
8-cylinder V-engine (two high-pressure pumps) 1600 ms
12-cylinder V-type engine 1100 ms
3438PEen
Page 115 of 157
If the minimum limit value is not reached, the fault (leak) is on the consumer side (injector, pressure
pipe socket, pressure-limiting valve).
If the minimum limit value is not reached by a significant margin, we recommend to perform the
high-pressure test with an open line at the pressure-limiting valve to narrow down the fault cause. The
pressure-limiting valve must not leak during testing! If this is the case, it indicates a fault in the injector.
Apart from the procedures described above, there is another method to check the pressure-limiting valve.
The so-called "Pressure-limiting valve open test".
This test can be performed up to EDC 7 C32 software version 42 using a DLS tester and MAN-cats II,
see Section 6.2.3.5 and as from software version 43 also directly using MAN-cats II, see Section 6.2.2.6.
Our experience shows that it is relatively easy to fix an increased leakage quantity in engines with low
mileage.
Undo all pressure pipe and injector attachments and then retighten them as prescribed. If these steps do
not produce any positive results, you should measure the leakage quantity individually to identify the faulty
injector(s).
Note:
Identifying one or more leaking pressure pipe sockets is heavily dependent on the engine temperature.
Note:
If the following error messages are present in the EDC 7 control unit:
• 03775, 03776, 03777, 03778, 03779, 03780, 03781
entered in the fault memory, however, if the pressure reduction times are OK, you must find the fault(s)
on the high-pressure pump and/or on the proportional valve: Check the delivery capacity of the
high-pressure pump.
Further information about troubleshooting can also be found in the section on the hydraulic test step list in
the system description on accumulator injection for the Common Rail injection system with EDC 7 control
unit (see also Section 7.2).

6.2.2.6 Checking the pressure-limiting valve (test) with MAN-cats II
Available in MAN-cats II:
• as from EDC 7 C32 software version 43
In EDC 7 C3 and EDC 7 C32 control units up to software version 42 there is the possibility to check the
pressure-limiting valve using the DLS tester. See also Section 6.2.3.5.
Description:
The so-called pressure-limiting valve open test is intended to check whether the pressure-limiting valve has a
reduced opening pressure, i.e. whether it opens too early. If the pressure-limiting valve opens at a level that
is too low, the pressure-limiting valve open test determines the limit pressure at which the valve just about
remains closed.
The test is structured in two phases: pressure build-up and pressure test.
During the test the Rail pressure is gradually increased to just under the opening pressure of the
pressure-limiting valve.
Procedure:
Perform this test initially with connected leakage line of the pressure-limiting valve and subsequently
with an open leakage line of the pressure-limiting valve:
• Perform test with connected leakage line to check whether the pressure-limiting valve opens.
• Subsequently perform the test with opened leakage line to check whether there is a leak at the
pressure-limiting valve. For this purpose, the line on the T piece must be opened and a container
(e.g. from the test case for Common Rail engines) must be placed under the line.
• If there is no fuel in the container after the test, there is no leak between Rail and
pressure-limiting valve.
• If there is fuel in the container after the test, there is a leak between Rail and pressure-limiting
valve. In this case, empty the container first, retighten pressure-limiting valve to 100 Nm and
subsequently repeat the pressure-limiting valve open test with open leakage line.
• If, after retightening the pressure-limiting valve, there is no fuel in the container after
retightening and subsequent repeating of the test, there is no leak between Rail and
pressure-limiting valve.
• If, after retightening the pressure-limiting valve, and a subsequent repeating the test there is
fuel in the container, the rail must be replaced.
⇒ Select the following menu items in the main menu of MAN-cats II to call up the pressure-limiting valve
open test menu item:

Example for a test result:
After completing the test, the last pressure value at which the pressure-limiting valve was closed and the
state of the valve are displayed.
MAN-cats II can display the following status messages for the pressure-limiting valve:
MAN-Cats display Status of the pressure-limiting valve Procedure
No fault Pressure-limiting valve OK. ----
Pressure-limiting valve Pressure-limiting valve has burst open. Replace pressure-limiting
open valve.

If the pressure-limiting valve is leaking despite having been retightened to 100 Nm:
⇒ Replace the rail.

6.2.3 Measuring the leakage quantity, pressure-limiting valve open test using DLS tester and
MAN-cats II
Available in MAN-cats II:
• As from EDC 7 C3
Description:
DLS = Detektion von Leckage über Spulenwiderstandsmessung (detection of leaks using coil resistance
measurement)
Searching for leaks in the Common Rail injection system is usually difficult because basically every
component (e.g. high-pressure pump, Rail pressure sensor, pressure-limiting valve, injector, pressure
pipe socket) can cause a fault in the high-pressure system.
Additionally, detecting leaks is time-consuming and possible only with special tools and a very good system
knowledge.
Two tests can be performed using the DLS tester:
• Test for leaks at the injectors
• Pressure-limiting valve open test, test for leaks on the pressure-limiting valve
Performing tests using the DLS tester also offers the following advantages:
• no risk of dirt ingress in the Common Rail injection system because it is not necessary to open the
high-pressure system
• Long-winded and time-consuming individual checks for leaks are not necessary. The time
necessary to test for leaks individually can be significantly reduced when using the DLS tester,
depending on the engine and the installation situation in the vehicle.
• The pressure-limiting valve can be tested without going on a test drive or a possible reduction of the
service life (occurred during previous procedures).
• The test result can be documented in MAN-cats II to use it to explain the repair to the customer or
add it to the damaged part as documentation.
The DLS tester can be used in all of today's MAN Common Rail injection systems (EDC 7 C3 and EDC 7
C32). Successor systems have already been taken into account.
For MAN part numbers for the DLS tester, see Section 7.5.1.

6.2.3.1 Measuring principle to test for leaks
The measuring principle is based on the fact that a leak in the high-pressure section of the Common Rail
injection system leads to increased fuel temperature. The hot fuel internally heats up the injector and
therefore the magnetic coil of the injector. This temperature increase can then be measured via the
change in the magnetic coil resistance:
A temperature increase of approx. 0.8 °C corresponds to a change in resistance of approx. 1 mΩ. As from a
temperature increase in excess of 4 °C (internal resistance increase in excess of 5 mΩ) the injector can be
classified as faulty.

6.2.3.3 Connection of the DLS tester
Example for connection in trucks, TGS
Flywheel
• Two high pressure pumps (HDP) and two proportional valves (ZME)
• Two Rail pressure sensors
• Two separate Rail pressure control circuits
• Each of the control units — master or slave —supplies one cylinder bank.
3438PEen
Page 122 of 157
Special features of the D2868LFxx (V8) engine
The special feature of the D2868LF (V8) engine is that this engine is equipped with only one high pressure
pump (HDP), one proportional valve (ZME), two Rail pressure sensors and two interconnected rails
(high-pressure accumulators).
It is required to manipulate the second Rail pressure sensor to also be able to perform the leakage test in
this system structure.
For this purpose, an additional adapter cable (80.99641-0025) has been included in the DLS tester.
The Rail pressure sensor connections are easily accessible because the engine cover has already been
removed to connect the DLS tester to the control units.
Procedure:
• Connect DLS tester to master control unit and connect the additional adapter cable to the Rail
pressure sensor of the slave control unit.
• Start the engine and set an engine speed of between 800 rpm and 950 rpm.
• Select the master control unit and start it by selecting "Injector test" in MAN-cats II.
• After having completed measurement, switch off the engine and connect only the cable harness for
the injectors from the master control unit to the slave control unit.
• Reconnect the cable harness for the injectors to the master control unit. All other connections such
as engine periphery and vehicle connection remain connected to the master control unit. The
additional cable harness remains connected to the Rail pressure sensor of the slave control unit.
• Start the engine and set an engine speed of between 800 rpm and 950 rpm.
• Select the slave control unit and start it by selecting "Injector test" in MAN-cats II.
Flywheel
• Only one high pressure pump (HDP) and one proportional valve (ZME), hence only one Rail
pressure control circuit
• Two Rail pressure sensors
• During the test procedure, the disconnected control unit must be set to the manipulated Rail
pressure.

6.2.3.4 Measuring the leakage quantity using the DLS tester
Description:
The measurement is intended to clearly identify faulty injectors without having to remove them or individually
measure the leakage quantity.
Note:
Measuring the leakage quantity only makes sense if the total leakage quantity is too high. For this reason,
always measure the total leakage quantity before measuring the leakage quantity using the DLS tester.
If the vehicle due for testing enables a high pressure test (see section 6.2.2.5), it is not required to measure
the total leakage quantity. Evaluating the high pressure tests may determine whether the problem is on the
supply or consumer side.
An important influencing factor in this measuring procedure is the engine temperature. Changes to
the engine temperature (coolant) during the test effect the measured result because measurement takes
approximately 8 minutes.
To ensure a faultless evaluation of the measured result, the maximum coolant temperature
fluctuation may be 2 °C. For this reason, the coolant temperature at the start and after concluding the
measurement are recorded in the result log.
3438PEen
Page 124 of 157
Evaluation of the measured result
Example for a measured result where injectors are OK:
Injectors shown in the example below can be considered to be OK because the resistance changes are
significantly below the defined limit value of 6 mΩ. The currently valid limit values are always displayed in
MAN-cats II.
3438PEen
Page 125 of 157
Example for a measured result where the injectors show deviations:
In the following example two injectors are causing problems.
The injector for cylinder 3 can be classified as faulty because the resistance change is considerably above
the permitted limit value. The injector for cylinder 6 can be classified as borderline because the value is close
to the limit value.
Limit value of the permissive resistance measurement: 6 mΩ (status 7/2010).
The currently valid limit values are always displayed in MAN-cats II.
With this measuring procedure, a leak between injector and pressure pipe socket does not cause any
or no significant change in temperature and/or resistance compared to a leak inside the injector.
For this reason, the DLS tester can clearly determine whether the injectors are increasingly leaking.
Leaking pressure pipe sockets can be identified by inverting the process: The pressure-limiting valve
is not leaking and neither are the injectors. So the leak can only be at the pressure pipe socket.
3438PEen
Page 126 of 157
Information on possible incorrect measurements:
Incorrect measurements due to engine speed fluctuations:
An invalid measured result may be caused by engine speed fluctuations (engine "hunting") during
measurement.
Reason: Increasing the Rail pressure during measurement may cause the engine speed control to no longer
be able to maintain the idling speed of, e.g. 600 rpm and the engine "hunts". This engine speed fluctuation
causes very different amounts of fuel to be injected at cylinders 1, 2 and 3 and a useful resistance
measurement is not possible.
Remedy: Increase the idling speed during the measurement to approx. 800 rpm to under 1000 rpm and
subsequently repeat measurement
In the following example, implausible values are displayed for cylinders 1, 2 and 3.
3438PEen
Page 127 of 157
Incorrect measurement due to changes of the coolant temperature:
Coolant temperature changes influence the measured result. The measured result in the following example
cannot be used because the coolant temperature increased by 4 °C during measurement. The maximum
permitted increase would be by 2 °C.
The temperature increase during measurement also caused an increased resistance in the majority of
injectors. Reliable measurement is therefore not really possible.

6.2.3.5 Testing the pressure-limiting valve (pressure-limiting valve open test) using the DLS tester
Description:
The so-called Pressure-limiting valve open test is intended to check whether the pressure-limiting valve
(DBV) has a reduced opening pressure, i.e. whether it opens too early. If the pressure-limiting valve opens
at a level that is too low, the pressure-limiting valve open test determines the limit pressure at which the
valve just about remains closed.
The test is structured in two phases: pressure build-up and pressure test.
During the test the Rail pressure is gradually increased to just under the opening pressure of the
pressure-limiting valve.
Up to control unit EDC 7 C32 with software version 40, the Pressure-limiting valve open test using the
DLS tester is the only possibility to increase the Rail pressure to just below the opening pressure of the
pressure-limiting valve. As from control unit EDC 7 C32 with software version 44, the Pressure-limiting valve
open test is also available directly in MAN-cats II. See also Section 6.2.2.6.
3438PEen
Page 129 of 157
Evaluating the pressure-limiting valve open test
Example for a measured result where the pressure-limiting valve is OK:
Note:
This test does not determine with an absolute certainty whether the pressure-limiting valve is really leaking.
This test result only shows that the pressure-limiting valve was not burst open during this test.
If the pressure-limiting valve open test or the measurement of the leakage quantity in the injectors and the
pressure pipe socket are OK, yet the uncertainty remains of whether the pressure-limiting valve is leaking,
you should repeat the pressure-limiting valve open test and visually check the pressure-limiting valve for
leaks or perform leakage quantity measurement.
The advantage of the pressure-limiting valve open test is that you can increase the Rail pressure to just
under the opening pressure of the pressure-limiting valve while the vehicle is at standstill. This avoids
possible premature damage of the pressure-limiting valve during a test.
Further information about fault causes in the high pressure system can also be found in the system
description on accumulator injection for the Common Rail injection system with EDC 7 control unit
(see also Section 7.2).

Information on possible incorrect measurements during Pressure-limiting valve open test:
Incorrect measurements due to engine speed fluctuations:
An invalid measured result may be caused by engine speed fluctuations (engine "hunting") during
measurement.
Reason: Increasing the Rail pressure during measurement may cause the engine speed control to no longer
be able to maintain the idling speed of, e.g. 600 rpm and the engine "hunts".
Remedy: Increase the idling speed during the measurement to approx. Increase to 700 rpm to 800 rpm and
subsequently repeat measurement.
In the following example, an implausible value was measured under Maximum Rail pressure In MAN-cats,
the term "Maximum Rail pressure" is also referred to as Maximal Rail pressure reached.

6.2.4 Workshop routines within EDC diagnosis
"Workshop routines" are functions provided by MAN-cats II that enable the workshop to bring the control
unit to a defined status after having replaced or repaired components (e.g. oxygen sensor) without having
to perform time-consuming driving cycles for procedures such as withdrawing the torque limiting.
⇒ After having repaired the component, delete the EDC, OBD and — if present — AdBlue fault memories.
⇒ Select the following menu items in the main menu of MAN-cats II:
Diagnosis Î Engine/Exhaust gas aftertreatment Î EDC Î Reset torque limiting and flashing MIL
3438PEen
Page 132 of 157
⇒ Follow the on-screen instructions.
The system detects automatically within the menu item whether there is a torque limiting set and whether
it is a vehicle with AdBlue.
The torque limiting and flashing check lamp are reset
⇒ After quitting the Reset torque limiting and flashing MIL menu item, switch the ignition off and wait for the
EDC afterrun.
Note:
To reset the torque limiting upon the next "ignition on", it is essential that the EDC afterrun was
completed successfully!
In vehicles with AdBlue and an empty AdBlue tank, another fault is then detected and the check lamp of
the exhaust gas aftertreatment flashes and a torque limiting is set again briefly after switching to "ignition
on".

6.2.4.2 Initialisation of the lambda correction value
If values of approx. 8000 or -8000 are displayed in the Oxygen sensor values In MAN-cats, the term
"oxygen sensor values" is also referred to as “Lambda values” Monitoring window under Oxygen sensor
correction factor (displayed value/1000) In MAN-cats, the term "Oxygen sensor correction factor (displayed
value/1000)" is also referred to as Oxygen sensor correction factor (displayed value/1000) or the oxygen
sensor was replaced, the oxygen sensor must be taught-in (initialised). The same procedure may be
necessary in the event of fault entry 03938 (oxygen sensor cannot be adapted).
For this purpose, you have two possibilities:
• Teach-in (initialise) using MAN-cats II
• Teach-in during test drive
⇒ If applicable, switch off engine, switch off ignition and switch on again.
⇒ Select the following menu items in the main menu of MAN-cats II:
Diagnosis Î Engine/Exhaust gas aftertreatment Î EDC Î Initialisation of the lambda correction factor
⇒ Confirm the request on the information screen with <Yes> to start initialising the correction factor.
The correction factor is set to 1 using MAN-cats II.
3438PEen
Page 134 of 157
⇒ Finally, confirm the information window with <ENTER>
⇒ Switch the ignition off and on.
Switching off the ignition saves the initialised value during the control unit afterrun
After successfully completing initialisation, the setpoint 1000 can be read out in the Lambda values
Monitoring window under Oxygen sensor correction factor (displayed value/1000) In MAN-cats, the term
"Oxygen sensor correction factor (displayed value/1000)" is also referred to as Oxygen sensor correction
factor (displayed value/1000).

6.2.5.1 Operating data
This window provides operating data which are saved in the EDC 7 control unit, such as:
• Engine operating hours from EDC, the total operating hours when the engine was on are displayed.
• Number of performed forced regeneration cycles. A forced regeneration is normally started when the
exhaust gas differential pressure exceeds defined values and there is therefore the risk of a blocked
catalytic converter/filter. This might be caused by the deployment profile of the vehicle. An example
for this would be predominant deployment in distribution transport.
• Consumed total fuel since last filter replacement
Note:
Reliable values for the filter currently fitted in the vehicle (CRT filter, PM-Kat or SCR catalytic converter) are
only provided if the values for the filter have been reset after replacement of the filter using MAN-cats II and
the corresponding function. See Section 6.2.5.3.
3438PEen
Page 137 of 157
6.2.5.2 Signal analysis
• Exhaust gas temperature In MAN-cats, the term "exhaust gas temperature" is also referred to as
Exhaust gas temperature downstream of filter.
The distribution of the measured exhaust gas temperatures on a percentage basis upstream of the filter
system is displayed in relation to the displayed analysed period.
Exhaust gas Proportion of engine operating Proportion of engine operating
temperature time, at minimum time, ideally
Over 250°C 30% 60% to 80%
Over 300°C 10% 15% to 25%
If — for example — the proportion of exhaust gas temperature over "250 °C" upstream of the filter must
be determined, it is required to add up all stated time periods upstream of the filter in percent.
• Particulate filter temperature
The distribution of the measured particulate filter temperatures (exhaust gas temperatures sensor
downstream of the filter) on a percentage basis is displayed in relation to the displayed analysed
period.
3438PEen
Page 138 of 157
• Exhaust gas differential pressure In MAN-cats, the term “Exhaust gas differential pressure” is
also referred to as Exhaust differential pressure.
The distribution of the measured exhaust gas differential pressure (exhaust gas backpressure) is
displayed in percentage values in relation to the displayed analysed period.
Depending on the method used for exhaust gas aftertreatment, i.e. PM-Kat, SCR catalytic converter
or CRT filter (bus/coach), the measured exhaust gas pressure in relation to ambient pressure (exhaust
gas relative pressure sensor) is measured, depending on the pressure drop determined at two
measuring points (exhaust gas differential pressure sensor).

This evaluation window provides information about performed starts. The type of engine start,
the temperature range and the period is provided in addition to the performed engine starts.
If, e.g. there are increasingly problems with the starter, the information provided below may contribute to
finding the fault/analysing it.
• Number of starts
The total number of performed starts (normal starts, emergency starts and dummy starts) are displayed
• Normal start
The table shows the distribution of performed normal starts in the corresponding temperature range
and period of time (actuation time of the starter) in percentage values.
• Request emergency start
The distribution of possibly performed emergency starts in the corresponding temperature range is
displayed in percentage values.
Emergency start: engine start with accelerator pedal fully depressed
• Request dummy start
The distribution of possibly performed dummy starts in the corresponding temperature range is
displayed in percentage values.
Dummy start: Starter unable to move into ring gear. The starting procedure is automatically repeated
until a permissible number of start procedures has been exceeded in the event of the engine not
starting.

6.2.5.3 Reset all values after replacing particulate filter In MAN-cats, the term "Reset all values
after replacing particulate filter" is also referred to as Reset all values after exchanging
particulate trap
In the EDC 7 control unit all information specific for operation is displayed and subsequently stored in the
control unit for the purpose of a long-term backup. This information can be called up under the "Evaluation"
menu item.
Apart from information on starts, etc. information (operating data) on the filter system and/or catalytic
converter such as forced regeneration cycles, fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas
differential pressure, etc. is also stored.
As this data can be allocated to the filter system and/or the catalytic converter and serve as a basis for its
evaluation/analysis, this data must be reset when replacing the filter system and/or catalytic converter. This
is the only way to guarantee that the correct information (operating data) to evaluate/analyse the newly fitted
filter system and/or catalytic converter is provided.
To reset the data of the filter system and/or catalytic converter, select the following menu items in the
MAN-cats II main menu:
Diagnosis Î Engine/Exhaust gas aftertreatment Î EDC Î Evaluation Î Reset all values after replacing
particulate filter In MAN-cats, the term "Reset all values after replacing particulate filter" is also referred to
as Reset all values after exchanging particulate trap.

6.2.5.4 EDC trend data
The EDC trend data should be read out if, e.g. there are complaints regarding fuel consumption and
performance (SI 301100), work on the exhaust gas aftertreatment system (e.g. replacing a catalytic
converter or filter) is being performed and work in the course of Service Information sheets331810 or
3306AT is required.
By running the EDC trend data menu item, those values (in addition to operating data) that are grouped
together under the Signal analysis menu item as well as additionally various engine characteristics and
engine maps from the EDC control unit are read out and saved on the MAN-cats II service computer.
Upon the next reconnection to the central MAN-cats server, the stored file with the so-called EDC trend data
is automatically transferred to this server and is subsequently available to experts at MAN Nutzfahrzeuge to
be used in conjunction with support requests according to SI 500SM and 1994SM.

8 Error message/descriptions:
The implemented monitoring and self-diagnosis functions of the electronic injection system should ensure
maximum availability and in case of a fault should assign the error as quickly as possible to a path and
component(s).
The faults are identified in various ways:
• Evaluation of the permissible value range of a signal
• Plausibility check of a signal by means of other signals
• Checking that a signal is provided on time
• Plausibility check of a subsystem by comparing the target state with the current state
In case of a fault, the error messages can be read out using MAN-cats II or displayed automatically/on
request on the instruments.
Error messages can be looked up in the EDC 7 system description and in MAN-cats II on the information
portal in the SPN search engine and/or within the EDC 7 system description under SPN help.

Note:
If there is any uncertainty as to whether the circuit diagram numbers listed here are for your vehicle or the
one for your vehicle is missing and you require it for fault diagnosis, you can find out the number using
MAN-cats II.
This is currently only available for vehicles with Trucknology technology. Only circuit diagrams are listed
here that comply with the ex-works state of the vehicle.
⇒ Select the Information, system circuit diagrams menu item In MAN-cats, the term
"Information, system circuit diagrams" is also referred to as Information, system
diagrams.and confirm with < ENTER >. You are subsequently given an overview of the
circuit diagrams for your vehicle.
Only those circuit diagrams will be shown that were used when producing the vehicle.
Retrofitted scopes will not be included or displayed.
