AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST
This sectional view of the engine shows the injector installation and the pushrod arrangement in relation to the upper portion of the engine.
This sectional view is similar to the original 3500 EUI engine. Major differences are the spring loaded injector push rods and the larger diameter camshaft.
Each cylinder has three corresponding camshaft lobes. The center lobe is is used to actuate the unit injector. The 3500B has a larger diameter camshaft to accommodate the higher injection pressures generated in the unit injector pumps.
The cylinder block has a larger camshaft bore to accommodate the larger camshaft. (All 3500 engines are now being manufactured to this standard.)

This picture shows the difference between the Mechanical Unit Injection (MUI) and current Electronic Unit Injection (EUI) installation in the cylinder head.
Notice the Helper Spring on the injector pushrod. This arrangement is designed to keep the follower in constant contact with the camshaft. The helper spring is required due to the increased injection pressures of 151 MPa (22000 psi) and the steeper, high lift camshaft lobe profile.

SYSTEM POWER SUPPLIES
The 3500B EUI system has one external and five internal power supplies with various voltages as shown.
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLIES
ECM power supply 24 Volts
INTERNAL POWER SUPPLIES
Speed/Timing Sensor power supply 12.5 Volts Injector power supply 105 Volts Analog Sensor power supply 5 Volts Digital Sensor power supply 8 Volts Wastegate Control Solenoid power supply 0 - 24 Volts
ECM Power Supply
The power supply to the ECM and the system is drawn from the 24-Volt machine battery. The principle components in this circuit are:
- Battery
- Key Start Switch - Main Power Relay - 15 Amp Breaker - Ground Bolt
- ECM Connector (P1/JI)
- Machine Interface Connector (J3/P3)
If the supply voltage exceeds 32.5 Volts or is less than 9.0 Volts, a diagnostic code is logged. (See the Troubleshooting Guide for complete details on voltage event logging.)
NOTE: The Ground Bolt and the Machine Interface Connector are the only power supply components mounted on the engine.
COMPONENT DIAGRAM
Injector Power Supplies
The injectors are supplied with power from the ECM at 105 Volts. For this reason, precautions must be observed when performing maintenance around the valve covers.
On the 3512B and 3516B, two of the internal power supplies are used for the injectors. If a failure occurs, only one bank of injectors could have failed. On the 3508B, only one of the internal power supplies is used. As previously mentioned, the same ECM is used on all three configurations.
If an open or a short occurs in the injector circuit, the ECM will disable that injector. The ECM will periodically try to actuate that injector to determine if the fault is still present and will disconnect or reconnect the injector as appropriate.
Speed/Timing Sensor
One Speed/Timing Sensor is installed and it serves four basic functions in the system:
- Engine speed detection - Engine timing detection
- Cylinder and TDC identification - Reverse rotation protection
The ECM supplies 12.5 ± 1 Volts to the Speed/Timing Sensor.
Connector pins A and B transmit the common power supply to the sensor. The C connector pin transmits the signals from the sensor to the ECM.
This power supply is not battery voltage, but is generated and regulated within 1.0 Volt by the ECM. This power supply and the Speed/Timing Sensor are vital parts of the EUI system. A failure of the sensor will result in an engine shutdown.
The Speed/Timing Sensor is mounted on the rear housing and is
self-adjusting during installation.
This type of sensor does not have a typical fixed air gap. However, the sensor is not in direct contact with the timing wheel, but does run with zero clearance. A Speed/Timing Sensor failure will cause an engine shutdown.
The sensor may be functionally checked by cranking the engine and observing the service tool status screen for engine rpm.
A sensor failure will be indicated by the active fault screen on the service tool. An intermittent failure will be shown in the logged fault screen.
The sensor has a dedicated power supply. A power supply failure at the ECM will cause the sensor to fail.
The sensor head is extended prior to installation. The action of screwing in the sensor pushes the head back into the body after the head contacts the timing wheel.
During installation, it is essential to check that the sensor head is not aligned with a wide slot in the timing wheel. If this condition occurs, the head will be severed when the engine is started, and some disassembly may be necessary to remove the debris.
Timing calibration is normally performed after the following procedures:
1. ECM replacement
2. Speed/timing sensor replacement 3. Engine timing adjustment
COMPONENT DIAGRAM
The engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is located at the front of the engine on the thermostat housing. This sensor is used with the ECM to control various functions. The following systems or circuits use the Temperature Sensor output to the ECM:
The Vital Information Management System (VIMS) or Caterpillar Monitoring System Coolant Temperature Gauge over the CAT Data Link.
The High Coolant Temperature Warning Alert Indicator and Gauge on the VIMS or Caterpillar Monitoring System panel. (The information is transmitted over the CAT Data Link.)
The Engine Demand Fan Control, if installed, uses the sensor signal reference to provide the appropriate fan speed.
The Cat Electronic Technician (ET) status screen for coolant temperature indication.
The Cold Mode engine control (i.e. elevated low idle and timing reference for cold mode operation). The Ether Aid control as a reference for Ether Aid operation.
The sensor supplies the temperature signal for the following functions:
- Caterpillar Monitoring System or VIMS instrument display, warning lamps and alarm - Demand Control Fan (if so equipped)
- ET or ECAP coolant temperature display
- High coolant temperature event logged above 107°C (225°F)
- Engine Warning Derate when 107°C (225°F) is exceeded or low oil pressure occurs (if so equipped)
- Reference temperature for Cold Mode operation
The Aftercooler Temperature Sensor is mounted at the rear of the block (Off-highway Truck) and measures coolant temperature in the aftercooler circuit.
The ECM uses the sensor signal as a reference for the fan control. When high aftercooler temperatures are reached, the cooling fan speed is increased. Very high aftercooler temperatures will cause a VIMS warning event to be logged.
NOTE: This sensor measures the ability of the aftercooler to cool the air sufficiently for combustion. As a general rule, for every 1 degree that the combustion air is reduced in temperature, the exhaust will be reduced by approximately 3 degrees. High inlet manifold temperatures can significantly shorten the life of exhaust system components (i.e. exhaust manifolds, valves, turbochargers and pistons).
Three pressure sensors are used for the measurement of oil pressure:
- Two Oil Pressure Sensors (filtered and unfiltered) - Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
The filtered and unfiltered pressure sensors are used together to measure oil filter restriction.
The filtered oil pressure sensor is used to measure lubrication oil pressure for the operator on the dash panel and for the technician on ET. The atmospheric pressure sensor is used with this oil pressure sensor to calculate the gauge pressure reading.

Engine oil pressure varies with engine speed. As long as oil pressure increases above the upper line after the engine has been started and is running at low idle, the ECM reads adequate oil pressure. No faults are indicated and no logged event is generated. A delay built into the system prevents false events from being logged after start-up or after a filter change.
If the engine oil pressure decreases below the lower line, the following occurs:
- An event is generated and logged in the permanent ECM memory.
- A Category 3 Warning (alert indicator, action lamp and alarm) is generated on the VIMS and Caterpillar Monitoring System.
- The engine is derated (if so equipped) to alert the operator.
The width of the pressure band between the two lines is sufficient to prevent multiple alarms and events or a flickering warning lamp. (This pressure separation is referred to as hysteresis).
The Atmospheric Pressure Sensor is installed on the ECM mounting adapter and is vented to the atmosphere. This sensor has various functions which are fully described later in the presentation. Briefly, it performs the following functions:
Ambient pressure measurement for automatic altitude compensation and automatic air filter
compensation.
Absolute pressure measurement for the fuel ratio control, ET, filter restriction, and Caterpillar
Monitoring System panel (gauge) pressure calculations.
All pressure measurements require the atmospheric pressure sensor to calculate gauge pressure. All pressure sensors in the system measure absolute pressure. The sensors are used individually in the case of atmospheric pressure (absolute pressure measurement). They are used in pairs to calculate gauge pressures (oil and boost) and filter restriction.
All the pressure sensor outputs are matched to the Atmospheric Pressure Sensor output during
calibration. Calibration can be accomplished automatically using the ET service tool or by turning on the key start switch without starting the engine for five seconds. The Atmospheric Pressure Sensor performs four main functions:
1. Automatic Altitude Compensation (Maximum derate 24%) 2. Automatic Filter Compensation (Maximum derate 20%) 3. Part of the pressure calculation for gauge pressure readings 4. Reference sensor for pressure sensor calibration

ALTITUDE IN FEET
Atmospheric pressure measurement by the sensor provides an altitude reference for the purpose of
Automatic Altitude Compensation.
The graph shown here describes how derating on a typical 3500B starts at 7500 ft. and continues linearly to a maximum of 17000 ft. Other engines may start between 4000 and 12000 ft. depending on the application.
The advantage of the EUI system is that the engine always operates at the correct derating setting at all altitudes. The system continually adjusts to the optimum setting regardless of altitude, so the engine will not exhibit a lack of power or have smoke problems during climbs or descents to different altitudes.
NOTE: The EUI system has an advantage over a mechanical fuel system which is derated in "altitude blocks" (i.e. 7500 ft., 10000 ft., 12500 ft.). EUI derating is continuous and automatic. Therefore, a machine operating in the lower half of the block is not penalized with low power. Conversely, a machine operating in the upper half of the block will not overfuel with the EUI system.
The Turbocharger Inlet Pressure Sensor is mounted between the air filter and the turbocharger.
This sensor is used in conjunction with the atmospheric pressure sensor to measure air filter restriction for engine protection purposes. The difference between the two pressure measurements is used as the filter differential pressure. The engine ECM uses this calculation to determine whether derating is necessary to protect the engine against the effects of excessive filter restriction.
This function is referred to as Automatic Air Filter Compensation.
Depending on the application and air intake system configuration, either one or two Turbocharger Inlet Pressure Sensors may be used.
If the machine is equipped with an ether start system, the ECM will automatically inject ether from the ether cylinders) during cranking. The operator can also inject ether manually with the ether switch in the cab. Ether will only be injected if the engine coolant temperature is below 10°C (50°F) and engine speed is below 1200 rpm.
COMPONENT DIAGRAM
Automatic Filter Compensation means that the engine is protected against the effects of plugged filters.
Derating is automatic as follows:
- Air filter restriction (∆P) exceeds 6.25 kPa (30 in. of water) - Engine power derating starts at the rate of 2% per 1 kPa of ∆P - Maximum derate 20%
- Event is logged when air filter restriction (∆P) exceeds 6.25 kPa (30 in. of water)
These ∆P specifications are typical examples. The actual values may vary depending on the application. Derating is retained at the maximum ∆P until the key start switch is cycled off and on.
NOTE: If only one filter is plugged, the ET service tool and Caterpillar Monitoring System will display the highest ∆P of the two. Derating is also based on the highest ∆P of the two.
The Turbocharger Outlet Pressure Sensor measures absolute pressure downstream of the aftercooler. Boost (gauge) pressure can be read with the service tools. This measurement is a calculation using the Atmospheric Pressure and the Turbocharger Outlet Pressure Sensors.
A failure of this sensor will cause the ECM to default to a zero boost condition. This failure can result in a 60% loss in engine power.
The function of the sensor is to enable the Air/Fuel Ratio Control which reduces smoke, emissions and maintains engine response during acceleration. The system utilizes manifold pressure and engine speed to control the air/fuel ratio. Engine fuel delivery is limited according to a map of gauge turbo outlet pressure and engine speed.
The ECM uses gauge pressure measured from the Crankcase Pressure Sensor and the Atmospheric Pressure Sensor to determine whether crankcase pressure is excessive (i.e. a piston allowing excessive blowby which could soon cause considerable damage).
The ECM will warn the operator of possible damaging conditions and record adverse conditions in the memory.
A possible cause of excessive crankcase pressure could be piston damage or a piston ring failure. An early warning means that the engine can be shut down without catastrophic secondary damage.
Crankcase pressure is compared with atmospheric pressure. The result is crankcase (gauge) pressure (i.e. pressure above ambient).
The trip points are:
WARNING 2 kPa (10 in. of water) EVENT 3.5 kPa (17in. of water)
COMPONENT DIAGRAM
Two Exhaust Temperature Sensors are installed on the 793C. The sensors are mounted between the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger.
The ECM uses the sensors to warn the operator of possibly damaging conditions and logs an event in the memory.
An engine derate occurs on Off-highway Trucks if excessive exhaust temperatures are reached.
The Throttle Position Sensor provides engine speed control for the operator.
At engine start-up, the engine rpm is set to low idle for two seconds to allow an increase of oil pressure before the engine is accelerated.
The Throttle Position Sensor receives 8 Volts from the Digital Sensor Power Supply at the ECM.
The Throttle Position Sensor is shown on the machine wiring side of the diagram.
NOTE: This system eliminates all mechanical linkage between the operator's engine speed controls and the governor (ECM).
Demand Fan Controls
Two types of thermostatic fans are used in 3500B machine applications. Some Off-highway Trucks and Track-type Tractors are equipped with a variable speed fan drive clutch. Some Wheel Loaders are equipped with a hydraulic fan drive.
Both systems use the ECM and the temperature sensor as the engine coolant temperature reference, and both are controlled by the ECM. If an electrical failure of the system occurs, the fan will go to maximum (100%) speed.
The advantages of the systems are:
- Reduced fuel consumption in most conditions
- Reduced engine overcooling at low ambient temperatures - Faster engine warm-up
- More engine power available at the flywheel - Reduced noise
Engine Mounted Switches
Three EUI circuit switches are mounted on the engine:
The Low Oil Level Switch signals the ECM if the engine oil level decreases below a predetermined level. The ECM then warns the operator of possible damaging conditions and logs an event.
The Filter Differential Pressure Switch signals the ECM if the pressure across engine fuel filter is excessive and the filter needs to be changed.
The Coolant Flow Switch provides the operator with a warning if a failure in the coolant circuit causing no flow occurs. The switch contacts are normally open with no flow.
The Coolant Flow Switch, like the Oil Level Switch, is a passive sensor (i.e. no power supply) which means that the ECM cannot determine if the switch or associated circuit has failed. A system problem could be determined if coolant flow is indicated with the engine stopped or if no coolant flow is indicated with the engine running.
COMPONENT DIAGRAM
The Throttle Back-up Switch provides a "limp home" mode in the event that the Throttle Position Sensor becomes inoperative.
If the ECM detects either an invalid or no signal, the Throttle Back-up Switch is automatically activated. When activated, the operator may operate the switch to raise the engine speed to 1200 rpm for as long as the switch is operated. If the Throttle Position Sensor signal is received again, the switch is deactivated.
Engine Shutdown Systems
The Ground Level Shutdown Switch is connected to the ECM through the machine and engine wiring harnesses.
The switch signals the ECM to cut electrical power to the injectors, but maintains power to the ECM.
This feature also enables the engine to be cranked without starting for maintenance purposes.
No other circuits may be connected to this system. The user defined shutdown feature may be used in conjunction with other circuits.
The User Defined Shutdown feature (if installed) may be used to connect another device to the system to shut down the engine (such as a customer installed fire suppression system). When the shutdown input is grounded for one second, the engine will stop running. The input must be pulled down below 0.5 Volts before the ECM will recognize the shutdown signal.
Operation of the User Defined Shutdown is logged as an event and can also be shown on the ET status screen.
For example, when installed on an Off-highway Truck, this feature is programmed to function only during the following conditions:
Parking brake is ENGAGED Transmission is in NEUTRAL Machine ground speed is at zero
Ether Injection System
The ECM controls the use of ether for cold starting. The ECM uses inputs from the speed/timing and coolant temperature sensors to determine the need for ether.
The ECM cycles the ether for three seconds on and three seconds off. Actual flow is determined by engine speed and temperature. Ether injection is disabled when the coolant temperature exceeds 10°C (50°F) or engine speed exceeds 1200 rpm.
A manual mode allows ether injection when the above parameters permit. In the manual mode, a continuous flow of ether is injected. The ether injection status can be read on the ET status screen.
Prelubrication System
The ECM controls the prelubrication system. This system uses the coolant temperature, engine speed and oil pressure as its references to determine the need for prelubrication.
The system is activated when the key start switch is turned to the start position. The system prevents starter motor engagement until the oil pressure increases.
LOGGED EVENTS
Logged events listed on the appropriate ET screen are conditions which are abnormal to the operation of the engine. For example:
- High coolant temperature - Low oil pressure
- Filter restriction
- Excessive engine speed
These events are not normally electronic problems, but might be conditions caused by a plugged radiator, low oil level, maintenance or operator deficiencies.
A list of possible events for the 3500B engine is included on the next page.
Some of the parameters listed in this presentation are used in the ET events list. They are as follows:
- High coolant temperature - High exhaust temperature - High aftercooler temperature - Crankcase pressure
- Loss of coolant flow
- Low (lubrication) oil pressure (according to the oil pressure map) - User defined shutdown
- Air filter restriction - Fuel filter restriction - Oil filter restriction - Engine oil level
- Engine overspeed histogram - High boost

As the Speed/Timing Sensor uses the timing wheel for a timing reference, timing calibration improves fuel injection accuracy by correcting for any slight tolerances between the crankshaft, timing gears and timing wheel.
During calibration, the offset is saved in the ECM EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The calibration offset range is limited to ± 7 crankshaft degrees. If the timing is out of range, calibration is aborted. The previous value will be retained and a diagnostic message will be logged.

The Fuel Ratio Control has been optimized to provide excellent performance and black smoke control without any need for adjustment. There should be no need to use the “Fuel Ratio Control Offset” except for special circumstances.
Changing the Fuel Ratio Control Offset parameter allows the customer tailoring of the fuel to air ratio in order to compensate for winter blend fuel, individual costumer preference etc.
