Solution It has been found that on these older chassis it is best to eliminate all the basics prior to opening an eService case. Pressure test the complete intake and exhaust systems. There is zero tolerance for leaks in these systems. Next, go over all the wiring harnesses to see if there are crispy spots No rub spots, loose areas are tolerated. Next check the chassis air supply system to be sure the customer has been draining the air tanks nightly and servicing the air dryer every 6 months with a fresh COALESCING type air dryer cartridge. This DPF system cannot tolerate ANY water or oil moisture at all for it to function correctly and reliably. Repair any leaks, electrical and air system issues before starting to dig into the Aftertreatment system. Use the US07 Spark Assist Check Sheet here to compare sensor and component values during fault tracing for spark assisted regeneration troubleshooting.

If not, correct the issues. The air dryer needs to be properly connected and the filter serviced with a recommended Coalescent cartridge. The pressure in the system needs to be regulated within the correct tolerances. If the dryer system comes in by-passed or inoperative, the air tanks and lines supplying the aftertreatment system may need to be cleaned out. Otherwise, the Air Atomization Module (even a new replacement) will not last at all. Has the fuel system been serviced correctly based on published service information? If not, inform the operator that the fuel system needs to be serviced. Is the engine air filter flowing correctly and not plugged? If not, inform the operator that the filter needs to be serviced. Combustion Air Flow. 400+ LPM is required during Regen with idle set to 700 RPM for US07. • o US07 - The CAV has an arrow on it to show direction of flow. The orifice in the intake manifold should be 3/8”. There should be NO orifice at all in the CAV fitting boss at the combustor housing. There have been reported instances of replacement US07 combustor housings that had the US10 9/32”orifices in place at the Combustion Air inlet port of the Combustor Housing. Inspect new replacement Combustor Housings for an orifice. Typically, the Spark Assist system will complete a Service Regen even when there is NO combustion air flow. It will only display Flame Temp readings of only around 1700*F where proper flame temperature is normally at 1850 – 2100*F. There is typically enough oxygen remaining in the exhaust stream to support combustion under Service Regeneration conditions. This has fooled many in the past giving the impression of successful Regens but when under load, on the road, the oxygen from the engine is all used up by the engine combustion process and Regens will fail under load. So it needs Combustion Air under these conditions to support successful combustion. Note that any leaks in the intake or exhaust systems will cause issues. The best way to inspect for and diagnose leaks is with the smoke test machine. Repair all leaks before proceeding. Air Atomization Module (AAM) flow chart Fuel Supply System 100 PSI fuel pressure Nominal. Range is 95 to 105. 95 psi is at the extreme low limit. 94 or less will give you reliability issues. The fuel pressure is controlled by the Atomization Module (AAM) and not the pump. o o o o o If fuel pressure is low, remove the fuel return line from the AAM to the fuel tank and look for the amount of return with the engine running and pump active. Remove the AAM return line at the fuel tank return tee and cap the tee. LOW fuel pressure – LOW return flow indicates a bad pump or restriction from the engine supply to the pump inlet. LOW fuel pressure – HIGH return flow indicates the pressure control valve in the AAM is stuck open. Another indication of the Atomization Module dumping fuel on the US07 engine platform, is in engine pressure sensor values during a Regen, fuel pressure lower than 40 psi, engine load higher than 15% and slightly lower boost pressure. These are indications of fuel starvation. This is more important on the US07 engine platform because the Atomization Modules in this platform do not have pressure sensors and the Regens are done at idle. Note: In some cases, drops in engine power have been reported when the system goes into auto Regens while driving. In most of these cases, the issue is engine fuel o starvation due to the Atomization Module pressure control valve stuck open and dumping fuel pressure. The engine fuel pump cannot keep up with the engine and DPF fuel demand with this condition, and the fuel pressure drops. HIGH fuel pressure – LOW flow indicates a blockage in the Atomization Module or the return line. Test the return flow again at the return fitting at the Atomization Module this time. If flow returns to normal, the issue is a blocked return line. If the flow remains low with high fuel pressure, the issues is a blockage within the Atomization Module. Air Supply System 120 PSI air system air pressure to the AAM Nominal. 100 to 130 PSI is acceptable. o o o Less than 100 PSI will cause issues. Pressures over 135 will cause issues. If the pressure is OK stationary (no Regen), and drops during Regen, there is a restriction in one of the lines, or a sticking pressure protection/supply valve, or a valve installed incorrectly, or the air supply was modified by the body builder (we have seen air taken from the wrong tank). The air system actually does not take all that much air. Atomization air is restricted through the orifices in the nozzle and the flow should decrease as fuel is injected (sharing the same holes). On the US07 system the Supplemental Air Valve should only activate momentarily on the initial system test ( 1 or 2 seconds ) then remain off for a Service Regen. When checking the fuel spray pattern at the nozzle, with Atomization Valve active and Injector control active, you should have a heavy white fog. Not a stream of fuel and not a light mist. Spark Ignition System o When checking for spark quality, it should be checked during an active Regen command, not with the Tech Tool test. For some reason, when tested with the Tech Tool, the pulse rate is lower (longer coil charge time) than it is during an active Regen. A good test tool to have handy is a straight in-line spark tester (the style with the light bulb and not the open gap type). Auto parts supply stores typically sell these for about $7.00. General Electrical o o On the US07 system, it is recommended to monitor the Emcon module Battery and Ignition voltage during the system test period when all components are turned on and again during an active Regen. There should be no voltage drop at all compared to the battery voltage. The wires from fuses 54 and 64 are adequate but marginal and it does not take much of a resistance problem in the wires to cause Regen issues. o o 54 is the Battery power and 64 is the Ignition power. 54 goes from the FRC connector pin C7 to the 102 pin connector pin 5, to CDPF connector pin B, and finally to the Emcon A connector pin A1. 64 goes from FRC connector pin A3 to the 102 pin connector pin 78, to the CDPF connector pin F, and finally to the Emcon A connector pin A3. Note that on the US07 the Emcon module will NOT log a fault for open circuits (FMI 5) on the CAV circuit. This circuit is shared with the Atomization Air Valve. If you get an open circuit on any of these circuits individually, the other component will take up the load and the module cannot detect the open circuit condition.
