INSITE Parameter Explanations The parameter descriptions are for

B Gas Plus and C Gas Plus engines. See INSITE Parameter Expected Values for the
B Plus and C Plus

Accelerator Pedal Position: Position of the accelerator pedal. Measured in

Battery Voltage: Actual voltage supplied to the ECM. Note: The Throttle actuator,
Heated Oxygen Sensor, and Ignition control module are supplied from a switch power
source. This supply voltage is not detected by the ECM.

Camshaft position Sync Counts: There are 6 evenly spaced pickups (1 for each
cylinder) and one unevenly spaced pickup (shows that the next pickup is for cylinder 1)
on the cam gear. Sync Counts are the number of pickups on the cam gear that pass by
the EPS before the 7th irregularly spaced pickup passes by it during cranking. This
value should not be over 7 for one attempt at starting. If the vehicle dies or does not
start on the first crank, the key switch must be shut off (power cut to ECM) to reset the
value to zero.

Closed Loop Operation: After the 1st minute of operation (after the engine is started),
the system should go to and remain in closed loop mode during steady state operation
(idling, top of stall test, full throttle and constant load dyno test). The engine will drop out
of closed loop mode when motoring (decelerating without the accelerator pedal
depressed.) Also when motoring, the Fuel Control Valve will go to 0%. The engine will
go back into closed loop mode as soon as the accelerator pedal is depressed or when
the vehicle comes to a stop.

Coolant Temperature: The temperature of the engine coolant.

Engine fuel shutoff command: Open/Closed. This is the commanded position of the
fuel shutoff (not necessarily the actual mechanical position). The ECM needs at least
9.5V and detected engine speed to open the valve.

Engine Oil Pressure: Pressure measured in the oil rifle. NOTE: The sensor measures
the pressure in an absolute value. With no pressure applied to the sensor, it will read
atmospheric pressure (14.7 PSI at sea level).

Engine Speed: This is the speed of the engine as sensed by the ECM. The ECM uses
the speed read from the cam shaft gear by engine position sensor.

Exhaust Back Pressure: Pressure measured at the exhaust outlet connection. NOTE:
The sensor measures the pressure in an absolute value. With no pressure applied to
the sensor, it will read atmospheric pressure (14.7 PSI at sea level).
Fuel Control Valve: % open (not % duty cycle) commanded to the fuel control valve.
0% open means the valve is closed for conditions such as overspeed shutoff or
motoring.

Fuel Pressure – Primary: Fuel pressure measured at the inlet to the low pressure
regulator housing. This is the pressure supplied by the high-pressure regulator. The
sensor measures the pressure in an absolute value. With no pressure applied to the
sensor, it will read atmospheric pressure (14.7 PSI at sea level).

Fuel Pressure – Secondary: Fuel pressure measured at the inlet to the mixer
housing. This is the pressure supplied by the low-pressure regulator. The sensor
measures the pressure in an absolute value. With no pressure applied to the sensor, it
will read atmospheric pressure (14.7 PSI at sea level).

Gas Mass Flow Compensation: This is the amount of change (% duty cycle) to the
Fuel Control Valve due to the mass sensor reading. This is the correcting function that
occurs when gas flow sensed does not equal gas flow commanded. This means that the
gas mass sensor reads a different amount of fuel flow than what is being commanded.
A (+) positive valve indicates gas flow sensed (from gas mass sensor) is less than
commanded and the control system is "opening" the fuel control valve more to
compensate.
A (-) negative value indicates gas flow sensed is more than commanded and the
control system is closing the fuel control valve to compensate.

Gas Mass Flow Deviation: This is the difference between gas mass flow sensed and
gas mass flow commanded. It is shown in pounds/hr. A (+) positive value indicates that
LESS gas flow is being sensed than commanded. A (-) negative value indicates MORE
gas flow is being sensed than commanded. The value should hang around ZERO if the
control system is within it's
limits.

Heated Oxygen Sensor Compensation: Amount of air the Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HOS) is adding/subtracting compared to its limit. The control system will try to bring
Lambda sensed (reading from the HOS) closer to Lambda desired (in other words get
Heated Oxygen Sensor deviation close to zero) by adding or subtracting fuel. A(+) %
means the HOS is sensing a RICH condition and the control system is REMOVING fuel
(Adding Lambda) to the gas flow commanded. A (-) % means the HOS is sensing a
LEAN condition and is ADDING fuel (removing Lambda) from the gas flow commanded.

Heated Oxygen Sensor Deviation: This is the difference between Lambda sensed and
Lambda commanded. It is shown in Lambda. A (+) positive value indicates you are
RICH. A(-) negative value indicates you are LEAN. The value should remain around
ZERO if the control system is still within it's limits.
Idle Validation Status: Idle / Off-Idle status from the idle validation switches at the
accelerator pedal.

Intake Manifold Air Temperature: The temperature of the air in the intake manifold.

Intake Manifold Pressure: This is the pressure read by the Intake Manifold Pressure
sensor in the intake manifold. NOTE: The sensor measures the pressure in an
absolute value. With no pressure applied to the sensor, it will read atmospheric
pressure (14.7 PSI at sea level).

Lambda: is the unit used to measure the partial pressure of oxygen retained in the
exhaust gas, other Cummins natural gas engines use the term air fuel ratio. I.e. How
much fuel to air in the mixture. 1 Lambda = Stoic metric = 17:1
C Gas Plus engines usually run at 1.4 Lambda. The higher the Lambda, the leaner the
engine is running.

Mixer Inlet (Boost) Pressure: This is the pressure read by the Mixer Inlet Pressure
(MIP) sensor at the air/fuel mixer assembly. NOTE: The sensor measures the pressure
in an absolute value. With no pressure applied to the sensor, it will read atmospheric
pressure (14.7 PSI at sea level).

Mixer Inlet Pressure Limit: The maximum boost level allowed by the ECM before the
wastegate starts to release boost pressure. Sustained boost pressures higher than the
boost limit will result in an over-boost fault.

Throttle Position: Position of the throttle plate. Measured in percentage 0-100%.

Throttle Position Commanded: Commanded position of the throttle plate from the
ECM. This value should be equal to the actual throttle position.

Wastegate Control Valve: % open (not % duty cycle) commanded to the wastegate
control valve. When the Wastegate Control Valve is 100% open, the wastegate itself
should be completely closed.
0% open means the control system wants to dump boost (the valve is a N.C. valve =
fail-safe for boost). 0% open means that the control valve vent is closing, giving
pressure to the wastegate actuator and opening the wastegate to dump boost.

100% open means that the system wants to build boost by closing the wastegate.

Note: At and near idle, the control valve should be ~ 0% even though the wastegate is
actually closed. This is because there is not enough pressure from the intake manifold
to properly actuate the wastegate (about 8-12 PSI is required.)
