The service manual describes work operations car-
ried out with the aid of Volvo Penta Special Tools,
where such have been developed. Volvo Penta Spe-
cial Tools are designed to ensure the safest and most
rational working methods possible. It is therefore the
responsibility of anyone using tools or working meth-
ods other than those we recommend to ensure that
no risk of personal injury or mechanical damage is
present, or that malfunction can result.

In some cases, special safety regulations and user

instructions may be in force for the tools and chemi-
cals mentioned in the Service Manual. These regu-
lations must always be followed, and no special
instructions regarding this are to be found in the Serv-
ice Manual.

By taking these basic precautions and using common

sense it will be possible to guard against most ele-
ments of risk. A clean workplace and a clean product
will eliminate many risks of personal injury and mal-
function.

Above all, when working on fuel systems, hydraulic

systems, lubrication systems, turbochargers, inlet
systems, bearings and seals, it is of the utmost impor-
tance that dirt and foreign objects are kept away, as
malfunctions or shortened service intervals may oth-
erwise result.

PCU*
The PCU can be engine mounted in some installations
or is mounted standalone. It communicates with the
engine and helm station control unit, HCU, via the
standard bus.

* PCU = Powertrain Control Unit. There is a decal con-

taining the serial number and CHASSIS ID on the PCU.
The CHASSIS ID number must coincide with the
CHASSIS ID number on the decals on the engine.

HCU*
The HCU is located close to the helm station and its
components. Communicates with the PCU and the
SUS / SCU via the standard bus.

* HCU = Helm Control Unit. There is a decal containing

the serial number and CHASSIS ID on the HCU. The
CHASSIS ID number must coincide with the CHASSIS
ID number on the decals on the engine.

SCU*
The node is located on the bracket together with the
hydraulic plate and is mounted near the transom
shield. It communicates with the PCU and HCU, via the
EVC bus.

* SCU = Steering Control Unit. There is a decal con-

taining the serial number and CHASSIS ID on the SCU.
The CHASSIS ID number must coincide with the
CHASSIS ID number on the decals on the engine.

Identification of nodes
Each node in the EVC system is programmed to com-
municate with a specific engine. Software can vary
depending on engine type, equipment, parameter set-
ting, etc. It is therefore, prior to installation, important
to identify the different nodes.
This is carried out by checking indentically designed
labels, placed on the node gables, on top of the engine
cover, on the engine control unit (ECU) and on the
steering unit servo (SUS / SCU).
Identification is done by using the ENGINE CHASSIS
ID number.

IMPORTANT!
The CHASSIS ID number on the node labels must cor-
respond with the CHASSIS ID number on the engine
and SUS / SCU labels.

The CHASSIS ID number on the node labels are also

intended for the Volvo Penta organisation for identifi-
cation of the system in the VODIA diagnostic tool.
The CHASSIS ID can also be shown in the EVC dis-
play.

Drive position sensor

DPH
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 magneto-
resistive sensor which means that the sensor resist-
ance will change when influenced by the magnets on
the cylinder piston.

DPS
The DPS drive has one steering cylinder with two drive
position sensors fitted along the cylinder side, one at
top and one at bottom.
P0011270

Solenoid valves, Forwards – Reverse (T)

The solenoid valves (V) for gear shifting are located on
the reversing gear.
The valves are ordinary OFF–ON valves which allow
oil to pass to the correct clutch when ON. When suffi-
cient oil pressure has been built up, the clutch is acti-
vated (the oil pressure is raised gradually to give gentle
engagement). In the OFF position, the oil in the clutch
is emptied and the reversing gear goes into neutral.

Fault tracing of cables and connectors

Special Tools: Multimeter 9812519.

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 con-
nectors.
• 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 connec-
tor.

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 9812519 to check the cables. The
uninsulated parts of the conductors in the cables
should not be in contact.
Disconnect the cable at both ends and measure the
resistance between all pins to check for short circuit
between conductors. The multimeter should show
infinite resistance between each pin. If the resist-
ance is less than infinite, there is a fault.
2 Do a resistance check through each of the conduc-
tors in the cable to detect if there is any open circuit.
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 does not apply to the
EVC Y-split which has a different pin configuration).
P0006690
The resistance should be approximately 0 ohm.
Continue through all pins in the connector.

also be checked when the cables are connected to the
other end.
1 Disconnect the PCU.

Fault tracing the EVC system

Special tools: VODIA 3838619.

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.

When you set an HCU in service mode, VODIA can

communicate with the HCU to read fault codes and log
its parameters. Since all HCU have the same ECU
(MID) number, only one HCU can be put into service
mode at the same time. It would not otherwise be pos-
sible to identify the HCU which issued a 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

Check instruments
Special Tools: Multimeter 9812519.

The instruments are “Easy Link” types and receive

their signals from a serial bus consisting of a total of 3
conductors:
• Battery positive
• Battery negative
• Data bus
If a fault occurs in the “Easy Link” bus for the instru-
ments, this can be discovered when the needles stop
in the same positions on the instrument(s) (“frozen”). If
no one of the instruments works, check with multimeter
9812519 if there is power supply voltage between red
and blue conductors in the “Easy Link” harness.

Since common signals for various types of instruments

pass through the same cable, it is difficult to determine
whether information is missing from the serial bus, or
if an individual instrument is faulty.

If you suspect an instrument fault, you can use the fol-

lowing procedure to determine whether the instrument
is fault or not.
1 Start the engine and let it idle, with the control lever
in the neutral position.
2 Disconnect the instrument which is suspected of
being faulty.
3 The fault dissappears:
Check that there is no oxide or moisture in the rel-
evant instrument’s connector.
Exchange the relevant instrument with a new one
and check if the fault still is dissappeared.
The fault remains:
Continue to disconnect instrument until remaining
instruments starts indicating correctly.
Re-connect the instruments again. Begin with the
first disconnected instrument and continue to re-
connect the other instruments until the connected
instruments stops indicating. Change the last re-
connected instrument.
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.

Programming an empty control unit

When a new engine control unit is installed, where no software has been downloaded, the control unit must be
programmed. The new control unit must have the same part number as the old control unit. If the control units do
not have the same part number, it will not be possible to program the new control unit until a “Conversion kit” has
been ordered from Volvo Penta.

If the control units have the same part number, the new control unit can be programmed as usual. Please refer
to “Programming a control unit”.

If the part numbers do not coincide – proceed as follows:

1 Have both part numbers available.

The synchronizing/multilink bus is a 2 wire, twisted

pair, proprietary bus. It consists of power supply on pin
4 and 6, and two pairs of CAN-buses. One bus uses
pin 1 and 3, the other one uses pin 2 and 5. The mul-
tilink bus handles information between the drive trains
(engine rpm synchronization) and data from a tach-
ometer, an LCD display, a NMEA interface unit, and a
multisensor.
The multilink bus also handles some docking functions
for the joystick.
Child lock/Station lock is supported and the synchro-
nizing/ multilink cable between the drive lines, needs
to be installed in a twin installation at all helm stations.

Symptom

Without transmission interface Cable description

The oil temperature sensor consists of a thermistor
which forms a closed circuit with an internal resistor in
the PCU. The thermistor resistor changes in a nonlin-
ear manner, depending on the oil temperature.

The PCU provides the circuit with a reference voltage

of +5 Volt from pin 29 on the PCU. The PCU measures
the voltage drop over the thermistor via pin 11 and pin
4 on the PCU. Pin 4 on the sensor is connected to bat-
tery negative via pin 11 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 falls and the
voltage drop across it falls.

The gear shift actuator contains an electric motor that

a PCU connector X3 drives the selector fork and a potentiometer that func-
b Actuator connector tions as a position sensor. There is a voltage of about
+4 Volt across the potentiometer (pins 2 and 5 in the
gear shift actuator connector). The feedback signal on
pin 4 in the connector is a voltage signal. In neutral, the
feedback signal voltage is about +1.9 Volt. When the
selector fork is in its end positions, the feedback signal
voltage is either +0.5 Volt or about +3.3 Volt.

The electric motor that drives the selector fork receives

its power from the PCU. The voltage output to the
motor in the gear shift actuator from the PCU is about
battery voltage. The direction in which the motor
moves (the selector fork moves) depends on the polar-
ity of pins 1 and pin 3 in the gear shift actuator con-
nector.

FMI 4
Conditions for fault code
High side switch indicates status error.

Possible reason
• Wire harness to solenoid are short circuited to each-
other.
• Faulty solenoid.

Suitable action
1 Check wiring to primary solenoid.
2 Check if the solenoid coil is proper, please refer
to ”Transmission solenoid test” further in this chap-
ter.
3 Check the PCU output to the transmission sole-
noids and the wiring between them, please refer to ”
PCU output and transmission wiring test” further in
this chapter.

FMI 5
Conditions for fault code
Current is below normal.

Possible reason
• Open circuit in one or both wires between PCU and

• Faulty solenoid.

Suitable action
1 Check the solenoid valves. With the engine stop-
ped: Switch connectors between the primary and
secondary solenoid valves and check if the fault
code remains or shifts to PSID 22. If the fault code

tion button (at least 1 second).
4 Engage the reversing gear (“Forward” or
“Reverse”).
NOTICE! Engine stopped.
p0005114
The lamp should light up when a gear is engaged.
Does the lamp light?
YES: No fault from the PCU unit to the reversing
gear. Try to move the connector between the pri-
mary and secondary solenoid valve, and see if the
fault also moves. If the fault code changes, the fault
is probably in the solenoid valve.
NO: Go to point 5.
5 If the lamp does not light, fault trace between the
PCU and the reverser.
- Cut the current with the main switches.
- Undo the connector block on the PCU and the
connector block on the reverser.
- Check the resistance of the wiring between the
PCU and the reverser. See wiring description for
the correct values.
- The resistance should be close to 0 ohm.
Is the resistance close to 0 ohm?
YES: Go to point 6.
NO: Change the cable between the PCU and the
reverser and re-perform the check from point 1.
6 If the resistance measurements show that the cable
is OK, then the fault is probably in the PCU-output.
Change the PCU and re-perform the check from
point 1.

When the gear is in neutral position the voltage output
from the PCU is approx. 0.1-0.2 V on both the solenoid
connections. If the solenoid is missing or broken the
potential on the solenoid connections are not equal
and the PCU detects it and sets a faultcode.

When a gear is engaged the high side cable to the sol-

enoid changes potential to approx. battery voltage.

Cable description

A Motor, input

C Motor, input
D Feedback signal, potentiometer
E Positive power supply, potentiometer

The gear shift actuator contains an electric motor that

a PCU connector X3 drives the selector fork and a potentiometer that func-
b Actuator connector tions as a position sensor. There is a voltage of about
+4 Volt across the potentiometer (pins 2 and 5 in the
gear shift actuator connector). The feedback signal on
pin 4 in the connector is a voltage signal. In neutral, the
feedback signal voltage is about +2 Volt. When the
selector fork is in its end positions, the feedback signal
voltage is either +1 Volt or about +3 Volt.

The electric motor that drives the selector fork receives

its power from the PCU. The voltage output to the
motor in the gear shift actuator from the PCU is about
battery voltage. The direction in which the motor
moves (the selector fork moves) depends on the polar-
ity of pins 1 and pin 3 in the gear shift actuator con-
nector.

Preconditions
Auto configuration has detected a gear shift actuator.

FMI 7

Conditions for fault code

• Deviation between the set point and current posi-
tion.
• The selector fork does not reach expected endpoint.
• The selector fork has a time limit to reach the
expected endpoint.

Possible reason
• The gear shift wire runs to hard or was connected to
the selector fork before the actuator had found its
starting position.
• Open circuit in any of the motor, input wires.
• Short circuit in the gearbox wire between motor,
input wires, and the PCU.
• Fault in the motor of gear shift actuator.
• Fault in the motor output driver in the PCU.

Suitable action
1 Disconnect and inspect X3 connector at the PCU,
reconnect.
2 Check for bad contact in connectors and cables
between the PCU and the gear shift actuator.
3 Disconnect the gear shift wire from the actuator and
check that the gear shift wire runs as smoothly as
possible. While the wire is disconnected let the
actuator find its starting position by turning the start
key to position 1.
Change between forward, reverse and neutral and
check if the actuator behaves properly.
The actuator will make a jump to its starting posi-
tion. Turn the starting key to position 0 and connect
the gear shift wire.
4 Measure the voltage in the motor input wires
between the gear shift actuator and the PCU. If
voltage is OK change the gear shift actuator.
5 If voltage is not OK check the motor wires for open
circuit or short circuit.
6 Change the PCU if a fault is suspected in the motor
output driver in the PCU.

E Positive power supply, potentiometer

The gear shift actuator contains an electric motor that

a PCU connector X3 drives the selector fork and a potentiometer that func-
b Actuator connector tions as a position sensor. There is a voltage of about
+4 Volt across the potentiometer (pins 2 and 5 in the
gear shift actuator connector). The feedback signal on
pin 4 in the connector is a voltage signal. In neutral, the
feedback signal voltage is about +2 Volt. When the
selector fork is in its end positions, the feedback signal
voltage is either +1 Volt or about +3 Volt.

The electric motor that drives the selector fork receives

its power from the PCU. The voltage output to the
motor in the gear shift actuator from the PCU is about
battery voltage. The direction in which the motor
moves (the selector fork moves) depends on the polar-
ity of pins 1 and pin 3 in the gear shift actuator con-
nector.

Conditions for fault code
In active mode (using the active titanium anode) the
CPM has measured that the polarization of the passive
zinc anode (which is disconnected while in active
mode) is too negative. The potential between the ref-
erence cell and the passive anode is increasing,
becomes more negative.

The temperature in the SUS is abnormally high.

Possible reason
• The SUS has run too hot.
• Defective temperature sensor.

Suitable action
1 Examine the SUS unit with your hand. If it is hot,
shut off the system and let it cool off. After it has
cooled off, switch on the system and see if the
problem still occurs. If the fault code appears when
the SUS is cold the problem is with the temperature
sensor, if so change the SUS and perform an IPS
calibration. Report to VPPN.
It is still possible to run the system in emergency
drive.

FMI 1
Conditions for fault code
The temperature is too low (below -20°C) in the SUS
unit, and it is dangerous to start up the unit.

Possible reason
• The engine room is too cold.

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.

Component description
DPH
On each DPH drive there are two drive position sen-
sors. One on the portside of the drive and one on the
starboardside 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.

drive position sensors fitted along the cylinder side,
one at top and one at bottom. The sensor is shaped
like a pen. The steering cylinder piston is equipped with
two magnets The drive position sensor is a magnetical
resistive sensor which means that the sensor resist-
ance 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.

Fault indication
An orange lamp flashes in the alarm display.

Symptom
None.

Fault tracing

FMI 7
Conditions for fault code
The SCU performs a self test when the engine is
started. The SCU will try to move the drive a few
degrees back and forth to make sure that all sensors
and solenoids signals are ok. This faultcode is set if
that test fails.

Possible reason
• Low hydraulic steering oil level.
• Hydraulic steering oil leakage.
• Low hydraulic steering oil pressure.
• Open circuit in port solenoid wiring.
• Open circuit in starboard solenoid wiring.
• The drive is mechanically stuck.

Suitable action
1 Check hydraulic steering oil level.
2 Check that there is no hydraulic steering oil leak-
age.
3 Check all wiring and connectors between the SCU
and the steering solenoids.
4 Check that the drive is not mechanically stucked.
Try to move the drive by hand when ignition is on
and the service valve is activated.
5 Be sure to check that the service solenoid connec-
tor and the port steering solenoid connector at the
valve plate has not been mismatched.

FMI 2
Conditions for fault code
Fault is set when the communication circuit has
received to many error frames, which it can do in 130
ms.
The fault becomes inactive if there is a time of 65 ms
without error frames

Possible reason
• Open circuit in both CAN L and CAN H wires.
• Open circuit in the EVC data bus power supply
between the SCU and the HCU.
• Short circuit in the EVC data bus power supply
between the SCU and the HCU.
• The bus cables are too long. They must not be more
than 40 meter (131 ft) long.
• External interference.

Suitable action
1 Check EVC CAN bus wires between nodes for
open circuit. See “Manual fault tracing in bus
cables”.
2 Check CAN bus connectors for bad connection.
3 Check the EVC data bus power supply voltage
between pin 1 and pin 3 in the X2 connector.

FMI 5
Conditions for fault code
The fault is set when the EVC bus has lost one com-
munication wire and worked in single wire mode for
208 ms.
Fault becomes inactive if the second communication
wire starts to work again and stays stable for 2040 ms.

Possible reason
• Open circuit in one of the CAN signals.
• One of the CAN communication wires short circuited
to battery negative or to supply voltage.
• Short circuit between CAN L and CAN H.
• Bad connection in the data bus power supply.

Suitable action
1 Check CAN wires between nodes for short circuit
or open circuit. See “Manual fault tracing in bus
cables”.
2 Check CAN bus connectors for bad connection.
3 Check the data bus power supply voltage between
pin 1 and pin 3 in the X2 connector.
