Cat Engine-Speed-Timing-Sensor-Calibrate-Troubleshooting - 2

The document outlines the process for determining the timing calibration (TC) of the flywheel and timing gear in a C18 Marine Auxiliary Generator Set. It details the necessary tools and steps required for installation, including the use of a transducer adapter and specific crankshaft rotation instructions based on engine models. Additionally, it notes that timing calibration does not increase engine power and provides a table of required tools and their descriptions.

TC of the Flywheel - The ECM determines the TC of the flywheel via a signal from a magnetic
transducer. The transducer is installed into the side of the engine block. The transducer creates a
signal as a notch on a crankshaft counterweight rotates past the transducer.

TC of the Timing Gear - The ECM determines the TC of the timing gear by signals from the
engine speed/timing sensors.

Any offset between the TC of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear is stored into the
memory of the ECM.

Note: A timing calibration will not increase the available engine power.

Table 2 lists the special tools that are required in order to perform this procedure.

Required Special Tools
Part Number Description
7X-1171 Transducer Adapter
6V-2197 Transducer
7X-1695 Cable As
(1)
170-3519 Harness
(1)
This item is not required if the engine harness has a connector for timing calibration.

Test Step 1. Install the Transducer Adapter

A. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

B. Use the appropriate engine turning tool to put either the No. 1 piston or the No. 6 piston at
top center. Refer to the Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting.

C. Refer to Table 3. After the top center position has been located, rotate the crankshaft for
the number of degrees that is applicable to your engine model. Be sure to rotate the
crankshaft in the direction of rotation that is specified in the Table.

Engine Model Number of Degrees Direction of Rotation
C7 100 Normal Rotation
C-9 85 Normal Rotation
C-10 60 Opposite Normal Rotation
C11 75 Normal Rotation
