Repair Instructions

General advice on working with EVC


engines
The following advice must be followed to avoid
damage to the engine control unit and other
electronics.

IMPORTANT!
The system must be disconnected from system
voltage by cutting the current with the main switch
when the engine control module connectors are
disconnected or connected.
• Never disconnect the current with the main switches
when an engine is running.
• Never undo a battery cable when the engine is
running.
• Turn the main switches off or disconnect the battery
cables during quick charging of the batteries.
NOTICE! During normal trickle charging, it is not
necessary to turn the main switches off.
• Only batteries may be used for start help. A help
start device can produce a very high voltage and
damage the control unit and other electronics.
• If a connector is disconnected from a sensor, be very
careful to avoid allowing the contact pins to come
into contact with oil, water or dirt.

30-2 Fault Tracing

30-2 Fault Tracing

General
Fault tracing in the EVC system
Tools:
88820047 VODIA, diagnostic tool

Check that the system has the correct power


supply.
The best way to retrieve diagnostic information from
the EVC system is to use the VODIA tool (3838619).
The VODIA tool shows the fault codes as text, and you
can retrieve information about each fault code.

Fault codes from the PCU, SUS / SCU and HCU can be
read from any helm station. In a twin installation, the
codes can only be read from the network, driveline, in
which the node is located.

When VODIA is connected to the port network, VODIA


can only show fault codes from the port PCU, and vice
versa for the starboard side.

The following must be done before fault


tracing continues, to avoid changing
functional sensors:
• If there is an active / inactive fault code
Remove the connector from the sensor. Check that
there is no oxidation and that the connector pins are
not damaged.
NOTICE! Some fault codes become inactive when
the engine is stopped. Start the engine to check
whether the fault code is still inactive with the engine
running.
• After an action with the connector
Put the connector* back. Check if the fault code
becomes inactive. Check faults that could be related
to that specific sensor. If the fault remains, measure
the cables and sensors to check them, as instructed.
NOTICE! * No grease in the connector.

20 47703793 09-2022 © AB VOLVO PENTA


30-2 Fault Tracing

Fault tracing of cables and


connectors
Tools:
88890074 Multimeter

IMPORTANT!
Cut the current with the main switch before the cables
are disconnected.

Check all connectors visually


• Look for oxidation, which can impair contact in
connectors.
• Check that terminals are undamaged, that they are
correctly inserted into their connectors, and that the
cable is correctly terminated in the terminal.
• If possible, shake the cables and pull the connectors
during measurement to discover whether the cable
harness is damaged.
• Check that the cables are not damaged. Avoid
clamping cables in tight bends close to the
connector.

It can be difficult to check whether there is a cable fault


in a cable when it is installed in the engine. For this
reason, always keep checked extension cables in the
fault-tracing equipment. Connect the extension cable
to one end of the cable that is to be checked and run
it back to the other end of the cable. This to allow each
conductor to be checked individually. After this, all the
pins can be checked.

1 Use multimeter 88890074 to check the cables. The


uninsulated parts of the conductors in the cables
should not be in contact.
To check for short circuit between conductors,
disconnect the cable at both ends and measure the
P0006690
resistance between all pins. The multimeter should
show infinite resistance between each pin. If the
A Y-split multilink resistance is less than infinite, there is a fault.
B Multilink break-out connector 2 To detect if there is any open circuit, do a
resistance check through each of the conductors in
the cable. Connect one probe to pin1 in one
connector and connect the other probe to pin1 in
the connector in the other end of the cable (this
don't apply to all Y-splits. Some Y-splits have
P0010669 different pin configuration). The resistance should
Multilink hub internal pin wiring. be approximately 0 ohm. Continue through all pins
in the connector.

If the CAN bus cables between the engine control unit


and the PCU need to be checked, the resistance can
also be checked when the cables are connected to the
other end.
1 Disconnect the PCU.
2 Measure the resistance between pin XX (yellow/
white conductor and pin XX (gray/yellow conductor)
against the engine control unit (EDC7).
Measurement points Nominal value
CAN H – CAN – L R ≈ 120 Ω

3 Repeat the measurement in the other direction.


Connect the PCU and disconnect the engine
control unit.
4 Measure the resistance between pin XX (yellow/
white conductor and pin XX (gray/yellow conductor)
towards the PCU.
Measurement points Nominal value
CAN H – CAN – L R ≈ 120 Ω

Fault tracing of the EKS system


If the system does not unlock when a key is shown in
front of the EKS panel it could be for one of these
reasons:
• Main power off
• Port PCU has been replaced or reprogrammed
• Key failure / invalid key
• EKS panel failure
• EKS wiring failure
NOTICE! If it is a virgin system an auto configuration
must be performed so that the EKS panel is recognized
by the EVC system. Before an auto configuration is
done the EKS panel LEDs will not be lit but an auto
configuration can be performed.

Preconditions: A key is shown in front of the EKS panel.


Symptom: The system cannot be unlocked.
Possible reason: • Main switch off.
• Invalid key ID (key ID not stored in the PCU).
• Port PCU has been replaced or reprogrammed.
• Internal failure in the key
• Internal failure in the EKS panel
• Bad connection, open circuit or short circuit in the EKS panel wiring
harness
Suitable action: 1 Check main switch status.
2 Try with another key that been previously added to the system.
If more than one EKS panel is in the system, try the key in front of the other
EKS panel. This to exclude panel failure.
3 If port PCU has been replaced or reprogrammed, perform the “Add first
key” operation.
4 Try with another EKS panel.
Since the key ID is stored within the PCU the EKS panel can be changed
without system changes, no auto configuration is needed.
5 Change the EKS wiring harness.
6 Perfom the “E-key virginize” operation to virginize the system and add new
keys to the system.

DTC categories
The DTC category describes what type of system that is affected by the DTC. Typical EVC system categories are:
EVC bus communication, EVC bus power, System mismatch, Programming etc.
In the WSM almost all DTCs have a DTC category connected to the DTC. This could be helpful if the system has
multiple DTCs to see which systems that are affected and trying to find the primary set DTC and the root cause.
Eg. A system has multiple DTCs from HCU, PCU and SUS. All DTCs fits in the category “System mismatch”. This
shows that the nodes in the system says the same thing: There is a hardware (configuration) or software mismatch
within the system. This is the root cause.

Try moving the drive from one side to the other by hand when ignition is
off (should only be possible at ignition on - service valve activated). If the
drive can be moved from one side to the other at ignition off there is a
leak in the hydraulic system or internal leakage in a steering cylinder.
At ignition on move both drives by hand and check that the force needed
is similar. If not it can be a restriction in the system. Check the drive,
hydraulic system and steering cylinders for damages/restrictions that
affects the drive movement.
If suspected steering cylinder fault:
Disconnect the steering cylinder rod from the drive.
Check the condition of the rod and the rubber bellow.
At ignition on push and pull the rod to check that it runs smooth.
Compare with other steering cylinder. Note this action will set a DTC.

Hydraulic oil temperature sensor


The hydraulic temperature sensor consists of a
thermistor which forms a closed circuit with the SCU.
The thermistor resistor changes in a non-linear
manner, depending on the hydraulic oil temperature.
The SCU pin 3 provides the thermistor with a reference
voltage of +5 Volt.

When the hydraulic oil is cold, the thermistor resistance


is high. As the hydraulic oil warms up, the resistance in
the thermistor drops and the voltage drop across it
drops.

Steering solenoids
An electromagnetically controlled 3-position (open
starboard, open port, closed) proportional valve
located in the valve plate controls the hydraulic flow
through the valve plate to the steering cylinders located
at the drive. There are two solenoids controlling the
valve position, one starboard solenoid and one port
solenoid. The starboard steering solenoid controls
when to let the hydraulic flow through to the port
steering cylinder located at the drive.

When the starboard steering solenoid is activated the


hydraulic pressure makes the the port steering cylinder
push the drive to starboard and the boat will turn to
starboard. The control signal from the SCU to the
steering solenoid is a PWM (pulse width modulated)
signal. When ignition is on and the engine is stopped
the SCU is checking the steering solenoids by putting
out a small current through the steering solenoids.
The voltage between pin 14 and pin 42 at the SCU is
normally high when STBD steering solenoid is
activated.
The voltage between pin 13 and pin 28 at the SCU is
normally high when PORT steering solenoid is
activated.

the service solenoid is activated and opens a hydraulic
circuit between the steering cylinders and makes it
possible to move the drive by pushing it by hand. As
soon as the engine is started the service solenoid is
closed.

The voltage between pin 10 and pin 25 at the SCU is


normally high when the service solenoid is activated.
The control signal from the SCU to the service solenoid

Drive position sensors


DPH
On each DPH drive there are two drive position
sensors. One on the port side of the drive and one on
the starboard side of the drive. The drive position
sensor is located in a plastic cover that is fitted on the
steering cylinder. The sensor is shaped like a pen and
is fitted alongside the steering cylinder. The steering
cylinder piston is equipped with two magnets The drive
position sensor is a magnetoresistive sensor which
means that the sensor resistance will change when
influenced by the magnets on the cylinder piston.
When the drive turns one sensor resistance will fall
while the other sensor resistance will raise. When the
resistance in the sensors changes the output voltage
from the sensors also changes.

DPS
On each DPS drive there are two drive position
sensors. The DPS drive has one steering cylinder with
two drive position sensors fitted along the cylinder side,
one at top and one at bottom. The sensor is shaped like
a pen and is fitted alongside the steering cylinder. The
steering cylinder piston is equipped with two magnets
The drive position sensor is a magnetical resistive
sensor which means that the sensor resistance will
change when influenced by the magnets on the
cylinder piston. When the drive turns both sensors
resistance will change and the output voltage from the
sensors also changes.

Circuit description
The drive position sensor is an active sensor i.e. the
sensor must have supply voltage. Pin X3:8 on the SCU
provides the sensor with a voltage of +5 V. Pin X3:37 in
the SCU is connected to the sensor negative wire. The
output signal from the drive position sensor to pin
X3:19 on the SCU is a voltage signal between 0.5 V to

Multilink bus
The multilink bus is a 2 wire, twisted pair, differential,
proprietary bus. It consists of a display/panel/interface
power supply with negative supply on X5:4 and
positive supply on X5:6, and two pairs of CAN buses.
CAN L bus uses X5:1 and X5:2, the CAN H bus uses
X5:3 and X5:5. From the HCUs point of view the CAN
bus uses pin 2 and pin 5 as bus output and pin 1 and
pin 3 is used for bus input to the HCU. The
communication speed is 250 kbit/s.
The multilink bus handles information between the
drive trains such as engine rpm synchronization and
display/panel/interface data.
In the twin HCU/lever unit the syncronization data
between the drivelines are exchanged internally
between the HCUs while the display/panel data is
transferred through the multilink bus.

In a triple or quad installation when a stand alone HCU


is used syncronization data is transferred through pin
X5:1 and X5:3 between the integrated HCUs and the
stand alone HCU.

The aux network is used to exchange information in
and around the engine room. The multisensor, the
CPM and other engine room based units are
connected to this network.
Depended of which unit to connect, an adapter y-split
must be used between the unit and the aux bus.

The aux bus is powered by an external power supply or


by the PCU. The autoconfiguration of the system
decides which alternative to be used. If the bus is
externally powered, pin 1 is used.
If the PCU is the supplier, pin 6 is used. If the PCU is

Transmission oil and temperature


The transmission oil temperature and the transmission
oil pressure sensor is a combined sensor. The sensor
is an active sensor, i.e. the sensor must be connected
to a supply voltage.
Pin 15 on the PCU provides pin 1 on the sensor with
supply voltage of +5 V. Pin 4 on the sensor is
connected to battery negative via pin 45 on the PCU.
The output signal from the transmission oil pressure
sensor pin 2 on the sensor to pin 64 on the PCU, is a
voltage signal that is proportional to the transmission
oil pressure.

The transmission oil temperature sensor consists of a


thermistor which forms a closed circuit with an internal
P0016849
reference resistor in the PCU. Depending on the
transmission oil temperature, the thermistor changes
its resistance value in a non-linear manner.
The PCU puts out current through the thermistor and
measures the voltage drop over the thermistor via PCU
pin 45 and pin 66. Pin 4 on the sensor is connected to
battery negative via pin 45 on the PCU.
When the oil is cold, the thermistor resistance is high
and the PCU senses a high voltage drop. As the oil
warms up, the resistance in the thermistor drops and
the voltage drop across it alters.

Slip
Inboard:
The slip/low speed solenoid and the propeller shaft
speed sensor is connected to the PCU. The solenoid is
connected to the PCU pin 7, high side output, and pin
9, low side output. The PCU is controlling the solenoid
output condition by using a PWM signal.
The propeller shaft speed is monitored by the PCU
using an inductive speed sensor, that monitors a tooth
wheel, connected to pin 49 and pin 45. The output
signal from the propeller shaft speed sensor is used by
the PCU to calculate the degree of slip.
P0016854

IPS:
The propeller shaft speed is monitored by the PCU
using an active phase sensor, that monitors a tooth
wheel. When the shaft rotates, the sensor receives an
impulse each time there is an airgap in the tooth wheel.
The output from the sensor is a square wave which
frequency is proportional to the engine rpm.
The speed sensor is powered by 5 V by the PCU pin 15
and pin 45. The output signal from the propeller shaft
speed sensor is used by the PCU, pin 49 and pin 12, to
calculate the degree of slip.

PCU - EECU wiring


The wiring between the PCU and the EECU contains
communication wires, battery voltage wires and an
ignition output wire. The PCU and the EECU
communicates via CAN bus. The ignition output wire
delivers a wakeup signal, battery voltage, to the EECU
when the start key is put to position 1.
What type of signals that is going between the PCU
and the EECU differs due to which EECU being used.
See correct schematic for correct wiring information.

Gear shift actuator


The gear shift actuator contains an electric motor that
drives the selector fork and a potentiometer that
functions as a position sensor. There is a
potentiometer supply voltage, pin 2(-) and pin 5(+) in
the gear shift actuator connector, of about +4 V. The
feedback signal on pin 4 in the connector is a voltage
signal. In neutral, the feedback signal voltage is about
+1.9 V. When the selector fork is in its end positions,
the feedback signal voltage is either +0.5 V or about
+3.3 V.

The electric motor that drives the selector fork receives


P0016848
its power from the PCU. The voltage output to the
motor in the gear shift actuator from the PCU is battery
voltage. The direction in which the motor moves (the
selector fork moves) depends on the polarity of pins 1
and pin 3 in the gear shift actuator connector (A).

The negative power supply to the potentiometer is not


equal to battery negative. The voltage drop between
the negative power supply to the potentiometer and
battery negative is about 0.5 V.

Gear shift solenoids


When forward gear is engaged the PCU pin 1 and pin
25 supplies the gear shift solenoid with approximately
battery voltage.

When reverse gear is engaged the PCU pin 24 and pin


48 supplies the gear shift solenoid with approximately
battery voltage.
See correct schematic for correct wiring information.

Powertrim
When the up or down button on the power trim panel/
control lever is pushed the control signal from the PCU
on pin 7 (up) or pin 8 (down) in the power trim
connector delivers 0.9 x battery voltage to pin 86 on the
power trim up or down relay.

The sterndrive position is monitored via a


potentiometer by the PCU. The potentiometer is
connected to the PCU. The PCU pin 12(+) and 13(-)
delivers power supply to the potentiometer on pin 1(+)
and pin 2(-). The trim position feedback signal is a
voltage signal from pin 6 to pin 36 at the PCU.

The nominal voltage drop over the potentiometer is


P0016850 about 3 V.
A Powertrim connector The negative power supply to the potentiometer is not
equal to battery negative. The voltage drop between
the negative power supply to the potentiometer and
battery negative is about 1 V.

Clear Wake Exhaust System (CWES)


On IPS 2 and 3 there is an option of an exhaust bypass
function. The clear wake exhaust valve opens and
closes the exhaust bypass. The opening and closing of
the valve is controlled and monitored by the PCU. The
PCU, pin 7, 9, 11 and 8 controls a DC motor, which is
integrated with the valve, to open and close the valve.
A feedback signal of the valve position is sent back to
the PCU. PCU pin 13 is connected to CWES valve pin
2 which indicates valve open. PCU pin 53 is connected
to CWES valve pin 4 which indicates valve closed.

DPS gateway
The GPS node is communicating with the EVC system
via the DPS gateway. The GPS node communicates
with the DPS gateway via a CAN bus. The DPS
gateway converts the GPS information to be used by
the multilink bus.
The GPS node bus consists of a power supply with
negative supply pin 4 and positive supply on pin 6.
CAN L bus uses pin 2 and CAN H bus uses pin 5. There
P0015717 is also a shield connected to pin 3.

Joystick
The joystick is used as input to the steering pin and
docking functions. The movement of the joystick is
monitored by three different sensors. One for the
horizontal movement, one for the vertical movement
and one the monitors the turning angle of the joystick.
All three sensors output signals are voltage signals.
The voltage signals are between 0-5 volt depended of
the joystick movement. These signals are then
translated into CAN messages which are sent through
the steering control bus to the HCU.
All joystick data that is exchanged on the steering
control bus is transmitted to both drivelines as
redundant data, i.e. the data in both drivelines should
be the same.
Each driveline HCU transmits its set of joystick signals,
synchronization information, to the other driveline HCU
via the sync bus. The HCU compares the values.

CPM
The ACP system uses an active anode protection
system to protect the drive legs. By controlling,
managing, a DC current, the system maintains a
targeted potential difference between the drive legs
and a Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The drive legs
become a cathode in an electrochemical process. For
optimal protection the CPM keeps the potential of the
drive legs at approx. -450 mV with the Ag/AgCl
electrode as negative reference.

The CPM is connected to the J1587 bus via the


diagnosis connector or via the customer interface and
to the multilink. The service tool and the PCU
communicates with the CPM via the J1587 bus. All
ACP information presented in the EVC system is sent
