Circuit Description
This circuit can be used to control either an exhaust brake or an engine brake depending on the application. The electronic control module (ECM) controls engine brakes on cylinders 1, 2, and 3 by sending a signal on the engine brake solenoid number 1 signal circuit. If an engine brake is installed, there will be a jumper harness from this connector to the engine brake pass-through connectors on the rocker lever housing.
Component Location
The engine brake solenoids are located under the valve cover. The engine brake solenoids are controlled through the engine harness from the ECM.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs when the keyswitch is in the ON position and when the pulse width modulated (PWM) device is getting energized or de-energized. In some cases, the diagnostics can also run at some fixed intervals.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The engine brake 1 circuit PWM signal is detected to be greater than 0 volts when the PWM signal is turned off by the ECM.
Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The engine brake 1 circuit will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
The fault code status displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE light after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The Reset All Faults command in INSITE? electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults.
