Troubleshooting using flash codes for the EMS

control unit

• The diagnostics lamp on the instrument panel(s) always comes on for

two seconds when the system is powered up.

• As soon as a fault is detected by the control unit, it is stored in the

EEPROM fault code memory and the diagnostics lamp on the

instrument panel(s) comes on.

• The diagnostic lamp will stay on for as long as a fault is active. Even if

the lamp has gone off and the fault is no longer active, the code can

generally be read off by following the instructions below.

Reading off control unit fault codes

Turn on the ignition.

Activate the diagnostics switch to the left to view the flash codes for the

control unit (EMS).

A fault code will then flash on the diagnostics lamp. This flash code

consists of long flashes (approximately 1 second long) and short flashes

(0.3 seconds long). Long flashes are equivalent to tens and short flashes

to ones.

Example: long - short - short = fault code 12.

Repeat this procedure until the first flash code is repeated. This means

that the entire fault code memory has been flashed out. If the fault code

memory is empty, only one long flash approximately 4 seconds long

will be given.

See the flash code table on the next page for a description and to locate

the fault.

In order to obtain further information on the fault code, the PC-based

diagnostics tool or Scania EMS Display must be used. Contact an

authorised Scania workshop.

When a fault has been rectified the fault code can be erased as described

below.

Erasing fault codes

Switch off the ignition. If dual instrumentation has been fitted, the

ignition must be switched off on both panels.

Activate the diagnostics switch in the same direction as the flash codes

indicate, i.e. to the right for the coordinator (COO) or to the left for

EMS.

Switch on the ignition and at the same time keep the diagnostics switch

activated, to the right (COO) or to the left (EMS), for 3 seconds.

This will erase passive fault codes which can be read via flash codes for

the relevant system. The rest of the fault codes will remain in the

EEPROM and can only be deleted using the PC tool.

Starting and running

First start

When the engine is started for the first time, carry out the maintenance points

listed under "First start" in the maintenance schedule; see page 29.
Since the points are important for satisfactory operation of the engine right

from the outset, they are also listed below.

1. Checking the oil level; see page 31.
6. Checking the coolant; see page 36.

The coolant must contain corrosion inhibitor to protect the cooling
system from corrosion.

If there is a danger of freezing:

- Only antifreeze glycol should be used in the coolant as protection

against corrosion. We recommend only nitrite-free antifreeze glycols

with the following supplier designations:
BASF G48 or BASF D542

- The concentration of glycol should be 30-60% by volume depending on

the ambient temperature. 30% glycol by volume provides anti-freeze

protection down to -16°C. See page 37.

- Never top up with water alone or glycol alone! Fluid losses must

always be replaced with pre-mixed coolant having the same glycol

concentration as that in the engine. If the glycol content drops, both

anti-freeze protection and protection against corrosion are impaired.

Note:

A glycol concentration below 30% by volume will not provide

sufficient protection against corrosion. Glycol concentrations

higher than 60% do not improve anti-freeze protection and have

an adverse effect on engine cooling capacity.

If there is no danger of freezing:

- Only Scania Corrosion Inhibitor should be used in the coolant as

protection against corrosion. The correct concentration of corrosion

inhibitor is 8-12% by volume, and this must never drop below 8% by

volume. The inhibitor in Scania Corrosion Inhibitoris free of nitrites.

- First filling: Fill up the system with water + 10% by volume Scania

Corrosion Inhibitor. Use drinking water with a pH of 6-9.

- Never top up with water alone or corrosion inhibitor alone!

Fluid losses must always be replaced with ready-mixed

coolant: water + 10% by volume Scania Corrosion Inhibitor.

Coolant filter (not standard equipment)

Only coolant filters without inhibitor may be used. The use of coolant filters

increases the life of the coolant and reduces the risk of deposition corrosion.

Coolant composition:

If there is a danger of freezing:

min 30% glycol by volume

max 60% glycol by volume

If there is no danger of freezing:

8-12% by volume

Scania Corrosion Inhibitor

(no glycol)

The recommended glycols must

not be mixed with glycol

containing nitrite-based

corrosion inhibitor.

Ethylene glycol and corrosion

inhibitor can be fatal if

imbibed.

Avoid contact with the skin.

Overdosing with Scania

Corrosion Inhibitor and mixing

with glycol can cause sludge to

be formed.

If a coolant filter has been fitted

it must not contain inhibitor.

Important

12. Checking the fuel level; see page 44.
14. Checking the electrolyte level in batteries; see page 46.
15. Checking the state of charge in batteries; see page 46.
18. Checking the drive belt tension; see page 48.

Checks before running

Before running, "Daily maintenance" as described in the maintenance

schedule should be carried out; see page 29.

Starting the engine

If the fuel tank has been run dry or if the engine has not been used for a long

time, bleed the fuel system, see page 45.
Out of consideration for our common environment, your Scania engine has

been designed to use less fuel when starting. Using unnecessarily large

amounts of fuel when starting the engine always results in emissions of

unburnt fuel.

- Open any fuel valve.
- Disengage the engine.
- Engines with battery master switch: Switch on the power by means of

the battery master switch.

- Start the engine with the key in the control panel (SCP) or the start

button (only from RCB).

- S6: The diagnostics lamp should go out after approximately 2 seconds

when starting.

Block the starting device when

working on the engine.

If the engine starts accidentally,

there is a

SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY.

Only start the engine in a well

ventilated area.

If it is run in a enclosed space,

there should be an effective

device to draw off exhaust gases

and crankcase gases.

Never use starter spray or

similar agents to help start the

engine.

An explosion may occur in the

intake manifold with a risk of

personal injury.

WARNING

Starting at low temperatures

Local environmental requirements must be complied with. Starting aids,

engine heaters should be used to avoid starting problems and white smoke.
To limit white smoke, the engine should be run at low speed and under

moderate load. A moderate load on a cold engine gives better combustion

and faster heating than warming up with no load.
Avoid running it longer than necessary at idling speed.

At temperatures below 0°C:
Note:

Only use starting aids recommended by Scania.

- The starter motor must only be cranked for 30 seconds at a time. After

that it must rest for 30 seconds before the next start attempt. Maximum

of 5 start attempts are permitted, after which the starter motor must rest

for 15 minutes before the next start attempt.

Note:

If the engine is equipped with an INTERLOCK switch, this

switch should be depressed and held down until the oil pressure

has reached a sufficiently high level.

Running

Check instruments and warning lamps at regular intervals.

Engine speed

The Scania tachometer is divided into different coloured sectors, as follows:

0-500 rpm

red area:

prohibited engine speed,

passed through when stopping

and starting.

500-700 rpm

yellow area:

slow idle. Engine idling is

controlled by the S6 control

system. Raised idling speed

with a cold engine.

See page 24.

700-2,200 rpm

green area:

normal operating speed.

The engine operating speed

range is controlled by the S6

control system.

2,200-2,600 rpm

yellow/green

striped:

unsuitable operating speed.

May occur when switching off.

2,600-3,000 rpm

red area:

prohibited engine speed.

The starter motor may only be

cranked for a maximum of

30 seconds. There is risk of

overheating. Let the starter

motor rest for 30 seconds

between each start attempt.

Important

Limp-home mode

If there is a fault on the normal accelerator pedal or if CAN communication is

interrupted, the following limp-home option is available:
CAN outage or accelerator pedal malfunction (both signal and idling switch):

- The accelerator pedal value is 0% and the engine is running at normal

idling speed.

- The accelerator pedal value is 0% and the engine is running at raised

idling speed (750 rpm) if this function is activated.

Accelerator pedal malfunction but the idling switch is working:

- The accelerator pedal value can be increased slowly between 0% and

50% by using the idling switch.

CAN outage:

- The engine is switched off if the shutdown function is activated.

Coolant temperature

Normal coolant temperature when the engine is running should be 70-90°C.
The S6 control system has the following alarm levels:

- If the temperature is high, 98°C-103°C, for a certain period (1 second),

S6 will send a CAN message which switches on the warning lamp and

diagnostics lamp via the coordinator.

- If the temperature exceeds 103°C, the warning lamp and diagnostics

lamp will come on. If torque reduction is activated, the control system

will reduce the fuel quantity to 70%. A fault code is generated in the

control unit.

- At temperatures exceeding 103°C and with engine shutdown activated,

the warning lamp and diagnostics lamp come on and the engine is

switched off. If the override function is activated, only torque reduction

takes place when this function is activated. A fault code is generated in

the control unit.

After an alarm, approved values should be registered for more than 2 seconds

to reset the alarm.
Excessively high coolant temperature can damage the engine.
If run for extended periods under an extremely light load, the engine may

have difficulty in maintaining normal operating temperature. However, the

temperature will rise to a normal level again when the load on the engine is

increased.

Oil pressure

Maximum oil pressure:
warm engine running at a speed above 800 rpm

6 bar

Normal oil pressure:
warm engine at operating speed

3-6 bar

Minimum oil pressure:
warm engine running at a speed of 1,000 rpm

2.3 bar

The control system has the following alarm levels:

- at a speed of less than 1,000 rpm and an oil pressure of less than 1.0 bar
- at a speed of more than 1,000 rpm and an oil pressure of less than 2.3 bar

for longer than 5 seconds.

The following functions are available if there is an alarm:

- Alarm which only switches on the warning lamp and diagnostics lamp.
- Alarm which switches on the warning lamp and diagnostics lamp as

well as torque reduction if this function is activated (70% of fuel

quantity).

A fault code is generated in the control unit.

- Alarm which switches on the warning lamp and diagnostics lamp. The

engine is switched off if engine shutdown is activated. If the override

function is activated, only torque reduction takes place when this

function is activated.

A fault code is generated in the control unit.

After an alarm, approved values should be registered for more than 1 second

to reset the alarm.

High lubricating oil pressure

(above 6 bar) is normal when

starting a cold engine.

Charging indicator lamp

If the lamp comes on during operation:

- Check/adjust the alternator drive belt as described under the

maintenance point. See page 48.

- If the charging indicator lamp is still on, this could be due to an

alternator fault or a fault in the electrical system.

Stopping the engine

Run the engine without a load for a few minutes if it has been run

continuously with a heavy load.

Stop the engine with the stop button or the ignition key (depending on

the model). Keep the stop button depressed until the engine is

completely stationary.

Set the control switch to the "0" position.

Engines with battery master switch: switch the power off with the

battery master switch.

Note:

If the engine is stopped improperly 10 times, torque reduction

will be activated (70% fuel volume). To reset the engine, switch

off the engine once in the prescribed manner.

Checks after running

- Check that the power is cut from the battery master switch and that the

control switch is in the "0" position.

- Fill the fuel tank. Make sure that the filler cap and the area round the

filler opening are clean to avoid contamination of the fuel.

- If there is a risk of freezing, the cooling system must contain enough

glycol. See pages 22 and 39.

- At temperatures below 0°C: Prepare for the next start by connecting the

engine heater (if fitted).

Coolant should be topped up

when the engine is stopped after

the first start.

Block the starting device when

working on the engine.

If the engine starts accidentally,

there is a

SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY.

There is danger of turbocharger

damage and post boiling if the

engine is stopped without

cooling.

The power must not be switched

off before the engine has

stopped.

Lubricating oil system

Oil grade

The engine oil must at least meet the requirements for one of the following

oil classifications:

-ACEA E3, E4 or E5

- The Total Base Number (TBN) should be at least 12-13 (ASTM 2896).
- Check with your oil supplier that the oil meets these requirements.
- Specified oil change intervals apply provided that the sulphur content of

the fuel does not exceed 0.3% by weight. If the sulphur content is

greater than 0.3% but no more than 1.0%, the oil change interval must

be halved (200 h).

- Viscosities are shown in the figure below.
- For operation at extremely low ambient temperature: Consult your

nearest Scania representative on how to avoid starting difficulties.

Oil analysis

Some oil companies can offer analysis of the engine oil. Such analysis

measures the oil’s TBN (Total Base Number), TAN (Total Acid Number),

fuel dilution, water content, viscosity and the quantity of wear particles and

soot in the oil.
The result of a series of analyses is used as the basis for establishing a

suitable oil change interval.
If the conditions are changed, a new oil analysis programme must be carried

out to establish the new change interval.

Additives must not be used.

The oil should be suitable for all
temperature variations until the

next oil change.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Note:

Before checking the oil level: Leave the engine switched off for at

least 1 minute.

- The oil is at the correct level when it comes to between the marks on the

dipstick. Top up when the oil level is at the lower mark on the dipstick.

- Refer to page 30 for correct oil grade.

Checking the oil level during operation

On some engines the oil level can be checked during operation.

- Remove the oil filler cap to release the pressure in the crankcase.
- Check the level on the dipstick. Correct oil level: 10 mm below the Min.

or Max. mark.

2. Every 400 hours:

Oil change

Note:

If the engine is used for especially demanding operations,

particularly in a dusty environment or if the deposits in the

centrifugal cleaner are thicker than 20 mm: change the oil more

frequently.

- Unscrew the oil plug and drain the oil when the engine is hot.
- In certain engines the oil is pumped out by means of a bilge pump.
- Clean the magnet on the plug.
- Refit the oil plug.
- Fill up with oil.
- Check the level on the oil dipstick.
