Engine Reference Values
Engine Reference Values
Introduction
The following reference values can be used as a guideline and should not be used as specification. Values outside the table may
be normal, but can also indicate that something is wrong with the engine or the aftertreatment system, and can be used for
further troubleshooting.
The reference values listed below were collected with Tech Tool using operation 28407-3 Sensor values, monitoring on different
models of newly produced Articulated haulers certified for US and California Tier 4 final or EU Stage IV. The ambient temperature
was between 0–5 °C (32–41 °F), the ambient pressure was between 98–100 kPa (14.2–14.5 psi) and the engine temperature was
between 78–82 °C (172–180 °F).
NOTE!
A newly produced machine has brand new components that are working ideally such as the EGR cooler and the EATS system. For
example, the DPF differential pressure was quite low as the soot level had not been able to reach its normal level and the ash
load was close to zero. As the components age the performance can decrease slightly and affect the results.
Measurement
The machines were warmed up until all the exhaust gas temperature sensors were above 300 °C (572 °F). The NO sensors were
activated and the SCR system was in dosing mode.
All measurements were taken after 10 seconds at each operating point in stationary conditions. The measurements were made in
the following sequence:
1. Full converter stall: Accelerator pedal at 100 %, gear F and breaking the machine at standstill without using the
hydraulics
2. High idle: Accelerator pedal at 100 % and no load
3. Low idle: Accelerator pedal at 0 % and no load
Reference values
[T1]Measurement values at this level are only reachable with a new cooler. As the component ages, the temperature will
increase as the cooling capacity will get lower.
[T2]Due to the design of the SCR system, the NOx level after SCR can reach zero in some conditions.
[T3]Due to the design of the AdBlue®/DEF pump, the pressure can fluctuate a lot and can sometimes show values down to zero
depending on when the sensor value was updated.
