Electronic Malfunction Indicator


The electronic malfunction indicator, amber in color, illuminates to alert the driver of an
electrical problem with the Vehicle Management and Control (V-MAC) IV system. The
V-MAC IV system does a self-test when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. The
electronic malfunction indicator stays on while this test is being performed (approximately
six seconds). After the self-test is completed, the indicator will turn off and remain off
unless a problem is detected by (V-MAC) IV. If the indicator turns on while the vehicle is
being driven, (V-MAC) IV has detected a problem. In most circumstances, the vehicle will
operate even though the indicator is on; however, engine performance may be affected.
For an explanation of fault code activation and interpretation, and a complete listing of these
codes, please refer to “Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)”, page 54 of this manual.

V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 23

EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM

Aftertreatment DPF Regeneration, Cummins ISX


A DPF in the exhaust is used to meet emission requirements to help reduce soot and
particulate emissions into the atmosphere. The particulates are typically removed by
collecting in a DPF, with continuous or periodic regeneration of the filter. The electrical
and exhaust aftertreatment system set up of the vehicle will determine when regeneration is
required. When regeneration is needed, the icons on the DPF Smart switch will light up
momentarily to notify the driver and then shut off during regeneration. The High Exhaust
System Temperature (HEST) indicator will light up on the instrument cluster to warn of high
exhaust temperatures (when vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h [5 mi/h], depending on engine
setting, or when parked). Depending on the vehicle's aftertreatment setup, regeneration can
be performed while moving or when the vehicle is parked. Below is general information
about the exhaust aftertreatment systems.
For catalyzed exhaust aftertreatment systems
• Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 35°C (95°F) or higher.
• Icons on the DPF Smart switch will momentarily light up and then shut off during the
regeneration.
• HEST indicator on instrument cluster will light up to warn of high exhaust temperatures
when vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 mi/h) or less, depending on engine setting.
• Engine speed will increase to around 1,100 RPM during regeneration (for parked
regeneration).

when the icons on the DPF Smart switch illuminate.
Please refer to the instructions below on how to use the DPF Smart switch for passive
regenerations.
Passive (Automatic) Regeneration
1 When the icons on the DPF Smart switch light up, maintain vehicle speed.
2 During regeneration, the icons on the switch will shut off.
3 If the regeneration process needs to be stopped and performed at a later time, please refer
to “Aftertreatment DPF Inhibit/Stop Regeneration”, page 26 for information.
V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 25

Aftertreatment DPF Parked Regeneration, Cummins


ISX
Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) parked regeneration allows the operator to
start and/or stop the regeneration manually when the vehicle is parked. The operator is
notified that a regeneration is needed when the icons on the DPF Smart switch illuminate.
The operator should perform the regeneration as soon as possible.

Please refer to the instructions below on how to use the DPF Smart switch for parked
regenerations.
1 Move the vehicle to a safe location, apply the park brake and allow the engine to idle.

Note: When a regeneration is in process, the engine exhaust gas temperature (EGT)
will be elevated. DO NOT park the vehicle with the exhaust outlet under low hanging
overhead flammable objects such as trees, awnings, etc., that could be damaged by
elevated exhaust temperatures. DO NOT attempt to regenerate inside a garage or

Aftertreatment DPF Inhibit/Stop Regeneration


Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration, whether the moving or
parked variety, can be stopped if the vehicle is equipped with a DPF Smart switch (refer
to “Aftertreatment DPF Smart Switch (If Equipped)”, page 21 for more information). A
regeneration should be stopped only when necessary. To stop a regeneration that is in
progress, press the DPF Smart switch to the DOWN position. The switch will lock into the
DOWN position, and the icon on the bottom of the switch will be illuminated to indicate
regeneration has been stopped.

Aftertreatment DPF Regeneration and PTO Operation


(Cummins ISX)
The PTO must be disengaged for aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration
to occur.

STARTING THE VEHICLE


The following procedure is used to start and warm up a Vehicle Management and Control
(V-MAC) IV engine during any Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) condition:
Note: Release the clutch and make sure the transmission is in neutral before starting the
engine.

1 Turn the ignition key to the ON position clockwise. When the “Wait to Start” indicator
on the instrument cluster shuts off, fully engage the starter. Release the ignition key as
soon as the engine starts.

Note: If the engine does not start immediately, limit cranking periods to 30 seconds to
avoid overheating and damaging the starter.

2 After the engine has started, warm the engine until Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
reaches 60°C (140°F). After reaching 60°C (140°F), the engine can be operated normally.

Note: If the engine does not start immediately, limit cranking periods to 30 seconds to
avoid overheating and damaging the starter.
Note: Warm-up time can be reduced by increasing engine idle speed between 1000–1200
RPM by either applying the throttle pedal or by using the variable speed governor (electronic
hand throttle) feature. When operating unloaded, the engine may also be warmed by moving
the vehicle (after one minute of idling time) with a “light” throttle application only.
Note: Starter Protection will limit cranking time to avoid overheating the starter. If the
starter has overheated, it will be forced off until it has cooled.
V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 33

CRUISE AND ENGINE SPEED CONTROL


With Vehicle Management and Control (V-MAC) IV, the operator has the ability to precisely
control engine speed (RPM) and set cruise control speeds, as well as setting the engine low
idle speed. These functions are performed by using the speed control switches located on
the dashboard. Instructions for setting cruise control and engine speed control are given
on the following pages. For an explanation of engine low idle adjustment, refer to “Low
Idle Adjustment”, page 44.

W2076074

Speed Control Switches

Cruise Control

Engaging Cruise Control

The speed control functions of the V-MAC IV system are very similar to the cruise controls
found on most automobiles. The system will maintain a set speed and will allow acceleration
and deceleration through the system switches. Cruise control can be enabled or disabled
using customer data programming, included in the VCADS software.
To set the cruise control for normal highway operation, the following conditions must be met.

1 Vehicle road speed must be above the customer-programmable speed value (15 to 35
mi/h).
2 The service and parking brake must not be applied.
3 The clutch must be engaged (pedal released).
34 V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual

Effective August 11, 2008, a change was made to the Vehicle Electronic Control Unit
(VECU) software which affects the cruise control. As an added test to ensure that the service
brake switch is functional, the vehicle operator must press and release the brake pedal after
the engine has been started. This test verifies that the service brake switch is functioning.
The test also confirms that the cruise control will deactivate when the service brakes are
applied. If the brake pedal is not depressed after starting the engine, the cruise control
will not function. This change affects both newly manufactured vehicles, and vehicles on
which the VECU has been reprogrammed.
Note: For vehicles manufactured prior to August 11, 2008 the VECU has been
reprogrammed.
Once the above conditions are satisfied, activate the cruise control as follows.
1 Move the Speed Control ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
2 At the desired road speed, press and release the SET switch. The vehicle will maintain at
the set speed.

Note: Pressing the top of the Speed Control ON/OFF switch activates, or turns the switch
ON. Pressing the bottom of the switch deactivates, or turns the switch OFF.

Note: To shift, simply disengage the clutch, change gears, then re-engage the clutch. Cruise
control will resume automatically if programmed to Auto Resume. When double clutching,
DO NOT bring the clutch pedal to the fully engaged position.
V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 35

CAUTION
Transmission gear changes must not be
made without the use of the clutch while in
the cruise control mode. Failure to use the
clutch will cause the engine speed (RPM)
to increase to the high idle limit, which
may cause severe powertrain damage.

W2076078

Speed Control On/Off and Set/Decel Switches


36 V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual

Accelerating to a Higher Speed


To accelerate to a higher speed, three methods are available:

1. Press the Accelerator Pedal (AP). This method will accelerate the vehicle for as long as
the pedal is pressed. (Release the pedal to return to the speed set previously.)

2. Press the ACCEL switch. This method will accelerate the vehicle for as long as the
switch is pressed. The new vehicle speed is set when the switch is released. (Press the
DECEL switch to decelerate the vehicle. The vehicle will decelerate for as long as the
DECEL switch is pressed. The new vehicle speed is set when the switch is released.)

Note: The MAX speed set by the accelerator


pedal may be different from that set by the
ACCEL switch.
3. The speed can also be “bumped” (known as bump speed) up or down. Tap the ACCEL
side to bump up 1 mi/h or tap the DECEL side to bump down 1 mi/h.

W2076079

Speed Control On/Off and Resume/Accel Switches


V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 37

Disengaging Cruise Control


To disengage cruise control, use any one of the following methods:

1 Apply the service brake. This method will disengage the cruise control while
maintaining the set speed in the system memory. To resume the previously set speed,
press and release the RESUME switch.
2 Disengage the clutch. This method will disengage the cruise control while the clutch
is disengaged and will resume the speed control when the clutch is re-engaged. This
programmable option provides for automatic resume after shifting.
3 Move the Speed Control ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. This method not only
disengages the cruise control but also clears the set speed from the system memory. To
reactivate the cruise control, it is necessary to move the switch to the ON position and
select a new set speed.

W2076079

Speed Control ON/OFF Switch


38 V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual

Engine Speed Control

Engine Speed Control Operation

The Vehicle Management and Control (V-MAC) IV system also allows the operator to set
and maintain increased engine speeds. The system provides two different speed control
functions: Electronic Hand Throttle control and PTO control. Electronic Hand Throttle
(EHT) controls engine speed when PTO is not engaged.
Both systems allow two modes of control:

1 Single Speed Control (SSC) increases the engine RPM to a speed preprogrammed into the
system memory. This mode is intended for operation of the PTO at maximum efficiency.
2 Variable Speed Control (VSC) allows the driver to set any engine RPM within the
preprogrammed low and high limits set in the system memory. This mode is primarily
intended for general PTO applications and engine warm-up.
Note: Brake conditions are configurable, but the standard setting is park brake on and
service brake off to engage.

Single Speed Control (SSC)

To use single speed control functions, the following conditions must be met:

1 For Power Takeoff (PTO) operation, the PTO must be engaged. For Electronic Hand
Throttle (EHT) operation, the service brake must be OFF.
2 The clutch must be engaged (not pressed).

To activate SSC, move the Speed Control switch to the ON position, then press and release
the SET switch. The engine speed (RPM) will jump to the preprogrammed speed. SSC can
also be programmed for Auto Set mode. When enabled, simply move the Speed Control
switch to the ON position and engage the PTO or activate a customer-defined switch (usually
setting the park brake). Engine speed will go to the preprogrammed speed.
V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 39

Variable Speed Control (VSC)

To use the variable speed control functions, the following conditions must be met:
1 The clutch must be engaged.
2 The park brake must be set.
To activate VSC, move the Speed Control switch to the ON position. Increase engine RPM
using the accelerator pedal (AP). At the desired engine speed (RPM), press and release the
SET switch. This speed setting will be maintained.
To increase the RPM, press and hold the ACCEL switch until the desired speed is attained.
Or, press the accelerator pedal until the desired speed is attained and then press and release
the SET switch.
To decrease engine RPM, press and hold the DECEL switch until the desired speed is
reached and then release the switch.
RPM can also be “bumped” up or down. Tap the ACCEL side to increase RPM, or the
DECEL side to decrease RPM by the customer-programmed amount (default setting is
50 RPM).
VSC can also be programmed for Auto Set mode. When enabled, simply move the Speed
Control switch to the ON position and activate a customer-defined switch (usually setting
the parking brake). The RPM will go to the preprogrammed minimum speed.
The “ramp rate” for EHT, and for each PTO in PTO control, can be programmed to increase
and decrease in speed to a customer-specified speed by using the ACCEL/DECEL switch.

Disengaging SSC or VSC Functions

To disengage the speed control settings, use any one of the following methods:
• Move the Speed Control switch to the OFF position.
• Disengage the clutch.
• Apply the service brakes.
• Release the parking brake.
Note: When the PTO is engaged on vehicles equipped with SSC, the SSC will take
precedence over the VSC.
Note: To reactivate the VSC to the previously set speed, press and release the RESUME
switch. If the Speed Control ON/OFF switch is used to disengage the VSC, a new speed
must beset. The RESUME switch will work only if the VSC was disengaged by using
the clutch or service brake.
40 V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual

Maximum Engine Speed Limit

This mode allows the maximum engine speed (RPM) to be limited, based on preprogrammed
speeds, when PTO or Electronic Hand Throttle (EHT) controls are engaged. The engine will
not operate beyond these speeds when the control (PTO or EHT) is engaged. The operator
has no control over this operation, and cannot change or override these preset limits.

Vehicle Limiting Speed

These programmable modes allow the maximum vehicle speed to be restricted to a


preprogrammed speed limit. The driver has no control over this operation, and cannot
change or override these preset limits. Another feature of the vehicle limiting speed function
is “Lower Gear Road Speed Limit Feature Activation.” This option, when selected, will
limit vehicle speed in gears below top gear to a value less than the top gear road speed limit.
The purpose of this option is to encourage the operator to operate the vehicle in top gear,
where the optimum fuel economy can be achieved.
There are two programmable “top gear” Vehicle Limiting Speeds — one for cruise and the
other for use with the Accelerator Pedal (AP).
Vehicle Limiting Speed can also be limited to separate values for each Power Takeoff (PTO).
Note: The vehicle limiting speed in cruise control mode can be lower or equal to the vehicle
limiting speed in accelerator pedal mode.

High Acceleration Control

Under light load and high vehicle acceleration conditions, the maximum engine acceleration
may be limited to prevent wheel slippage. Engine speed (RPM) will be limited to a value
just above the rated speed of the engine.
This condition should not prevent the driver from shifting to the next gear. If the engine is
limited, it is an indication that wheel slippage conditions may be present and that the driver
should drive less aggressively under these lightly loaded conditions.
V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 41

Engine Brake

W2076080

Engine Brake Switch

To activate the engine brake, move the engine brake switch to the 1st or 2nd ON position.
The 1st position activates the engine brake unit for 50% power. The 2nd position provides
100% power. The engine brake switch can be in either 1st or 2nd ON position during speed
control operations, but the brake will function only if no fuel is requested by Vehicle
Management and Control (V-MAC) IV and engine speed (RPM) is greater than 900 RPM.
To disengage the brake, move the switch to the OFF position, or press the Accelerator
Pedal (AP).
Note: The engine brake will not engage until the Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) has
reached 52°C (125°F).

ACCESSORY RELAY CONTROL


After an idle shutdown, V-MAC IV will deactivate all the ignition power bus relays, but the
Engine Control Module (ECM) power relay will remain active in order to reduce current
draw from the battery after the engine has stopped.
42 V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual

scan tool and the Vehicle Management and Control (V-MAC) IV system.
Note: If the rear tire sizes are changed, or the rear axle ratios are changed, you must contact
your local MACK Truck dealer. Failure to notify your local MACK Truck dealer of these
changes may cause inaccurate speedometer readings.
44 V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual

Cruise 'N Brake Engagement Delay


With the cruise 'n brake engagement delay feature, engagement of the engine speed (RPM)
is delayed in cruise control to reduce engine brake cycling. The brake will engage 3.2 km/h
(2 mi/h) above the cruise set speed. The engine brake operates normally when cruise is
not being used.

Engine High Idle Speed if Stopped


Maximum engine speed (RPM) can be adjusted by using VCADS software. The possible
high idle settings range from 600 to 2,600 RPM. However, the engine speed will not go
below low idle and will not exceed the OEM high idle (usually 2,100 or 2,150 RPM).

Engine High Idle Speed in Upper Gears


Sets the maximum engine RPM if the gear ratio is less than 1.5. This feature is intended to
improve fuel economy by limiting efficient high speed engine operation.

Low Idle Adjustment


Note: On chassis equipped with an automatic transmission, the speed control switches
cannot be used to adjust engine low idle speed. Attempting to set low idle in this manner
will cause the Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) to enter the reprogramming
mode resulting in the idle speed dropping to 550 RPM (650 RPM for non-catalyzed
exhaust aftertreatment system), but it will not be possible to set a new idle speed. If the
reprogramming mode is entered, simply turn the speed control switch OFF, and idle speed
will return to the originally set speed. Resetting low idle speed on a chassis equipped with
an automatic transmission requires a scan tool running the VCADS software. Consult the
VCADS User's Guide for additional information.
V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 45

This section explains the procedure to reset the low idle speed using the Speed Control
switches.
The Vehicle Management and Control (V-MAC) IV system allows the low idle to be
set within the range of 550 to 700 RPM (650–700 RPM for non-catalyzed exhaust
aftertreatment system). This provides flexibility to set the low idle to the smoothest engine
speed for the vehicle.
There are two steps required to reset the low idle speed. The first step places the V-MAC
IV system into the low-idle adjust mode. In this mode, V-MAC IV is ready to accept the
new idle speed.
The second step is to actually tell Vehicle Management and Control (V-MAC) IV what
the new idle speed will be.
The first phase in the process is meeting the requirements listed below.
1 The V-MAC IV system must have the Low-Idle Adjust option enabled in the customer
data space. This function can be disabled by the customer.
2 Be sure there are no active faults in the system.
3 The vehicle must be stationary.
4 The parking brake must be applied.
5 The Accelerator Pedal (AP) must be at the idle position (not pressed).
6 The Speed Control ON/OFF switch must be turned ON and OFF 3 times within two
seconds. At this point, the idle speed will drop to 550 RPM, and V-MAC IV will now be
ready to accept a new speed. Be sure to leave the ignition key in the ON position.

W2076074

Speed Control Switches


46 V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual

Note: If the idle speed does not drop to 550 RPM after meeting the requirements listed, there
may be other possible problems which will not allow the idle to be reset. Refer to the Vehicle
Management and Control (V-MAC) IV Service Manual for troubleshooting procedures.
To complete the resetting of the idle speed, continue as follows:
1 Depress and hold the accelerator pedal until the desired engine speed is reached.
2 Use the speed control switches to adjust idle speed.
3 Depress and release the clutch pedal to store idle speed.
This speed is now locked into V-MAC IV as the low idle speed.
Note: To detect a drop when resetting the idle, it is recommended that the low idle speed be
set to a speed greater than 500 RPM.

Smart Idle Elevated Idle RPM Time


This feature will discontinue a ramp up for a period of time when the engine speed (RPM)
reaches its target. The range of time can be set between 0 and 1092 minutes, with a default
setting of 30 minutes.

Idle Shutdown
This feature will shut off the engine after it has been idle for a specified period. The time
period is customer programmable using the VCADS software. An alarm will warn 30
seconds (a programmable time frame) before the engine will shut down. The idle shutdown
override switch can be used during this 30 second period to override idle shutdown or the
service brake or Accelerator Pedal (AP) can be applied. Once the engine shuts down, the
engine can be re-started by turning the ignition key to the Start position.
Note: Idle shutdown will not occur during an aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
regeneration. If the idle shutdown timer requests a shutdown during aftertreatment Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration, the engine will not shut down until after regeneration
has been completed.
V-MAC Co-Pilot Operator's Manual 47

Speed Sensor Tamper Detection


Speed sensor tamper detection is used to monitor and stop unauthorized tampering of the
vehicle speed limiting function in order to gain additional top speed. If tampering is detected,
the vehicle operator will be notified by a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). Engine power will
be limited to a programmed percentage and will continue until the issue has been corrected.
Note: Torque limiting will be inhibited if a driveshaft Power Takeoff (PTO) is enabled
and active.
