Function description
General
The main task of the coordinator is to convey data to
other control units, currently this is mainly the engine
control unit, from those controls, pedals etc. that are
operated by the driver in the cab. The coordinator also
conveys information from the engine control unit out to
gauges and lamps in the instrument panel (e.g. for oil
pressure) and to other systems (e.g. Retarder). The
cardiagn.com
coordinator is located in the cab.
The engine control unit is located on the engine. The
coordinator administers the signals to and from the
components in the cab and communicates with the eng-
ine via the CAN circuit. This means that no separate
cables are required between the cab and the control
units for each individual cab component.

sends an output signal about this to the instru-
ment cluster.
A PWM signal is sent from the coordinator to
other systems with information on the amount
of fuel supplied to the engine. The PWM signal
is a message that the coordinator received from
the engine control unit and then converted. The

message states how much fuel is being injected
into the cylinders (actual throttle actuation)

The control for cruise control is also used when
adjusting idling speed or when using the func-
tions for engine speed control.
The control for cruise control has the following
five functions.
• ON
• OFF
• ACC (accelerate, the speed of the vehicle
increases)
• RET (retard, the speed of the vehicle
decreases)
• RES (resume, the vehicle returns to the
previously selected speed)

Clearing fault codes show zero bars, i.e. no oil pressure. No fault
code is generated in the Coordinator.
Clear all fault codes as follows:
1 Begin by switching off the ignition
(15 supply).
2 Press in the diagnostic switch and keep it
depressed.
3 Switch on the ignition (15 supply) whilst
still depressing the diagnostic switch.
Limitations
Despite the advanced software, a fault may
arise which the control unit is unable to distin-
guish from normal operation. If this is the case,
no fault code is generated.
Fault codes may have been generated when a
cable connection was disconnected whilst the
ignition was on. This is quite a common occur-
rence. The control unit will then interpret it as a
