3.9.1 DRBIIITDOES NOT POWER UP
(BLANK SCREEN)
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
16-way connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts
is required to adequately power the DRBIIIt. Also
check for a good ground at DLC.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result or a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all specifications, instructions and graphics needed
to diagnose engine control module (ECM) and sen-
try key remote entry module (SKREEM) problems;
they are no start, diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and
no trouble code problems for the ECM. The diagnos-
tics in this manual are based on the trouble condi-
tion or symptom being present at the time of diag-
nosis.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service information for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems may be enhanced. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT YOU REVIEW THE ENTIRE MANUAL TO
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL NEW AND
CHANGED DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.
This manual will cover all the necessary require-
ments to begin a logical diagnostic path for each
problem. If there is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
detected, go to the trouble code test. If there are no
DTCs present, go to a no trouble code (*), symptom
based test.
This book reflects many suggested changes from
readers of past issues. After using this book, if you
have any comments or recommendations, please fill
out the form at the back of the book and mail it back
to us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers 2005
Sprinter vehicles equipped with the 2.7L common
rail diesel engine.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the engine control module (ECM)
and sentry key immobilizer system (SKREEM) is
done in six basic steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptom
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
NOTE: All tests in this manual should be per-
formed with the engine at operating temperature,
unless otherwise specified within a particular test.
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The ECM is located to the left of the steering
column behind the steering column opening cover.
The sentry remote entry module (SKREEM) is
attached to the rear of the instrument cluster.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 2.7L direct injection diesel engine system is
equipped with the latest technical advances. The
on-board diagnostics incorporated in the engine
control module and SKREEM are intended to assist
the field technician in repairing vehicle problems by
the quickest means.
The engine system incorporates a common rail
fuel delivery design with exhaust emission feed-
back. This design utilizes electronically controlled
solenoid valve type fuel injectors. Each injector is
controlled individually by the ECM. Injector timing
and fuel quantity are controlled by the ECM based
on inputs from various sensors. The precision con-
trol of the injectors by the ECM helps to reduce the
engine noise, odor and smoke.
3.2 FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.2.1 ECM ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The ECM is programmed to monitor different
circuits of the diesel fuel injection system. This
monitoring is called on-board diagnostics.
Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic
trouble code to be entered into the ECM memory.
The criteria may be a range of: engine rpm, engine
temperature, time or other input signals to the
ECM. If all of the criteria for monitoring a system or
circuit are met, and a problem is sensed, then a
DTC will be stored in the ECM memory.
It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit
may not be entered into the ECM memory, even
though a malfunction has occurred. This may hap-
pen when the monitoring criteria have not been
met.
The ECM compares input signal voltages from
each input device with specifications (the estab-
lished high and low limits of the input range) that
are programmed into it for that device. If the input
voltage is not within the specifications and other
trouble code criteria are met, a DTC will be stored
in the ECM memory.

GENERAL INFORMATION

3.2.2 ECM OPERATING MODES
As input signals to the ECM change, the ECM
adjusts its response to the output devices. For
example, the ECM must calculate a different fuel
quantity and fuel timing for engine idle condition
than it would for a wide open throttle condition.
There are several different modes of operation that
determine how the ECM responds to the various
input signals.
Ignition Switch On (Engine Off)
When the ignition is turned on the ECM activates
the glow plug relay for a time period that is deter-
mined by engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature and battery voltage.
Engine Start-Up Mode
The ECM uses the intake air temperature sensor,
engine temperature sensor and the crankshaft po-
sition sensor (engine speed) inputs to determine
fuel injection quantity.
Normal Driving Modes
Engine idle, warm-up, acceleration, deceleration
and wide open throttle modes are controlled based
on all of the sensor inputs to the ECM. The ECM
uses these sensor inputs to adjust fuel quantity and
fuel injector timing. EGR valve control is performed
using feedback from the oxygen sensor. An oxygen
sensor is located in the exhaust manifold to sample
oxygen content exiting the engine cylinders. The
ECM uses the O2 sensor, along with other sensor
inputs, to govern the amount of exhaust gas recir-
culation to reduce HC (HydroCarbons) and CO
(Carbon Monoxide). Engine coolant is routed
through the base of the EGR valve to provide
additional cooling of the exhaust gas, which further
helps the reductions of emissions. The EGR valve
has a self-cleaning function. When the engine is
shut off, the EGR valve rotates twice to reduce
carbon deposits at the valve seat.
Overheat Production Mode
If the engine temperature is above 105ÉC (221ÉF)
and vehicle speed is above 40 km/h (25 MPH) the
ECM will limit fuel quantity for engine protection.
Limp-In Mode
The ECM utilizes different degrees of engine
limp-in. The ECM is able to limit engine rpm,
engine power output (turbo boost reduction), acti-
vate engine cooling fan or all of these functions
based on the type of fault that is detected. Critical
engine performance faults such as accelerator pedal
position sensor fault will result in a fixed idle speed
of approximately 680 rpm regardless of actual pedalposition. Other less critical faults will result in
power reduction throughout the full range of driv-
ing conditions.
Overspeed Detection Mode
If the ECM detects engine RPM that exceeds
5200 RPM, the ECM will set a DTC in memory,
limit engine RPM to no more than 2500 RPM, and
illuminate the MIL until the DTC is cleared.
After-Run Mode
The ECM transfers RAM information to ROM
and performs an Input/Output state check.
3.2.3 MONITORED CIRCUITS
The ECM is able to monitor and identify most
driveability related trouble conditions. Some cir-
cuits are directly monitored through ECM feedback
circuitry. In addition, the ECM monitors the voltage
state of some circuits and compares those states
with expected values. Other systems are monitored
indirectly when the ECM conducts a rationality test
to identify problems.
Although most subsystems of the engine control
module are either directly or indirectly monitored,
there may be occasions when diagnostic trouble
codes are not immediately identified. For a trouble
code to set, a specific set of conditions must occur
and unless these conditions occur, a DTC will not
set.
3.2.4 SKREEM OVERVIEW
The sentry key remote entry module system
(SKREEM) is designed to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. The system consists of a sentry
key remote entry module (SKREEM), ignition
key(s) equipped with a transponder chip and the
ECM. When the ignition switch is turned on, the
SKREEM interrogates the ignition key. If the igni-
tion key is Valid or Invalid, the SKREEM sends a
message to the ECM indicating ignition key status.
Upon receiving this message the ECM will termi-
nate engine operation or allow the engine to con-
tinue to operate.
3.2.5 SKREEM ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The SKREEM has been programmed to transmit
and monitor many different coded messages as well
as CAN Bus messages. This monitoring is called
On-Board Diagnostics. Certain criteria must be met
for a DTC to be entered into SKREEM memory. The
criteria may be a range of; input voltage, CAN Bus
message or coded messages to the SKREEM. If all
the criteria for monitoring a circuit or function are
met and a fault is detected, a DTC will be stored in
the SKREEM memory and the START ERROR indi-
cator will be turned on in the instrument cluster.
