Introduction

Introduction
General
Scania Diagnos & Programmer 3 (SDP3) communicates with Scania vehicles and Scania
industrial and marine engines. The program
has been developed to support the electrical
system with CAN communication.
The program is used for troubleshooting,
adjusting customer parameters, calibrations,
conversions affecting the electrical system and
updating software in control units.

equipment
System requirements
The system requirements applicable to SDP3
can be found on the Technical Information
Library website which can be accessed via
SAIL.

Ancillary equipment
Use of the program requires a computer, a USB
key and a VCI. These components must comply with the applicable system requirements,
see System requirements, so that the program
will operate correctly.

USB key
A USB key supplied by Scania is required. In
accordance with the applicable agreements, the
USB key is the property of Scania. This means
that a stolen or lost USB key should be
reported to Scania, where it is entered on a list
of blocked IDs. To do this, contact your distributor who will in turn contact Scania.
Distributors can find more information on USB
keys in the VCI and USB procedures for external administration. This can be accessed via
SAIL under the Services/Technical Information/VCI and USB keys tab.

System requirements and ancillary equipment

You will find information about the USB key

that is used under Settings in the menu. The
access levels for the different types of USB
keys that may be used are also described here.
The USB key controls access, i.e. which parts
of the program you have access rights to.
A different type of USB key is required
depending on whether you will be working on
a vehicle or an industrial and marine engine.
If access is shown as BLOCKED, this implies
that Scania has entered the USB key in a list of
blocked IDs. If access is shown as
UNKNOWN, this indicates that the USB key is
of a different type to the one approved by Scania.

SDP:01 Issue 21

Information about the USB key that is currently

in use can be obtained under Settings in the
menu.

Safety

Safety
IMPORTANT!

Always ensure that a task is carried out so that

there is no risk that you or anyone else will be
injured.

Test driving the vehicle

Remember that there are some risks if you
carry out a test drive when the program is connected. Two persons are required to carry out a
test drive: one to drive the vehicle, and one to
operate the program. Scania strongly advises
against test driving on public highways with
the VCI or computer connected unless otherwise specified.
Vehicle components can be unexpectedly activated or the engine can stop (causing the loss
of power steering).

Safety

Connecting and
disconnecting
Connection or disconnection of the VCI or
computer when the vehicle is moving is forbidden. The vehicle must be stationary when the
VCI or computer is connected or disconnected.
Other instructions for use can be found in the
program.

SDP:01 Issue 21

Safety

Adjustment
During adjustment, settings in the control units
are changed. Some of these changes, or combinations of settings, may have an adverse effect
on the characteristics of the vehicle/engine
without prior warning. Incorrect use of the program therefore entails a risk of personal injury,
damage to property and a breach of the relevant
legislation. Adjustments should therefore only
be carried out by personnel who are receiving
ongoing training by the Scania organisation on
SDP3 and the vehicles and industrial and
marine engines concerned, and who are studying the SDP3 user instructions and other service instructions on an ongoing basis.

WARNING!

Adjustment of parameters should only be carried out on stationary vehicles.

all active programs except Windows.

2. Regardless

of whether the file was downloaded from the internet or comes from a
CD, proceed as follows:

3. Double-click

the program file.

4. Installation starts and a number of dialogue

boxes will be displayed. Follow the instructions in these dialogue boxes.

Installing SDP3 may involve several installations and it is only when all these have been
carried out that you can use the program correctly.

Installation

The installation also includes a component that

makes it possible to store selected files locally
when there is no internet connection. In this
way you can continue to work in SDP3 and
send the files later when the internet connection is re-established. So far, only chassis specific BIC files can be saved. As soon as the
internet connection is re-established, the
locally saved files are sent to Scania automatically.
An icon down in the Messages field shows if
the files are being stored locally or sent to Scania.

About the user
instructions
This section describes how SDP3 works. Some
parts are only suitable for working with a vehicle and a USB key with the highest access levels. This means that if you are working on an
industrial and marine engine or have a USB
key with limited access levels, not all the sections described are available.
The user instructions take their examples from
vehicles. For those sections that are accessible
to industrial and marine engines, the instructions still apply even though the texts and illustrations refer to vehicles.

Connecting
General
Note:

In order for SDP3 to be able to communicate

with certain control units, the systems must be
activated. This applies to the auxiliary heater
and radio, which must be turned on when connecting.
The response time of individual control units
varies after the starter key has been set to drive
position. If SDP3 starts control unit identification too soon after the starter key has been set
to drive position, some control units may not
respond. In that case, re-establish the connection.
SPD3 carries out a number of checks when
connecting to the vehicle or industrial and
marine engine. During the connection phase
you will be given information about the activities being carried out by SDP3. If a fault occurs
during the connection, you will be informed
about this and guided through with the help of
the program.
SDP3 reads and compares, for example, the
information in the SOPS file with the information available in the control units. If there are
discrepancies you will be informed about this,
and if spare parts programming needs to be carried out on one or more control units, SDP3
will provide this option.

Procedure when connecting

The basic procedure when connecting to a
vehicle is displayed here. With some types of
work the procedure only includes parts of the
steps below.
SDP3 connects to the vehicle.
SDP3 retrieves vehicle information from the
vehicle.
SDP3 identifies the vehicle's control units.
If any control unit fails to respond, this will
be indicated at the bottom of the connection
window.
SDP3 reads the SOPS file from the coordinator and instrument cluster which are the
control units containing a SOPS file.
SDP3 verifies the SOPS file. This means
that the program checks both SOPS strings
and checks that they are the same.
SDP3 retrieves system information about
the control units from its database.
SDP3 checks identified control units against
the SOPS file.
If one of the control units does not correspond to the SOPS file, you will be
informed about this and about how to proceed.
SDP3 retrieves information about the product type from the SOPS file. This means that
SDP3 checks whether it is connected to a
truck, bus or industrial and marine engine.
SDP3 checks the identity of the control
units.
SDP3 updates the SOPS file with the identity of the control units.
SDP3 retrieves information about the
updates.
SDP3 retrieves the vehicle settings from the
SOPS file.
SDP3 compares the control unit configuration with the contents of the SOPS file.
If the configuration differs, you will have
the opportunity to carry out spare parts pro-

gramming of the control units which are not

configured correctly.
SDP3 reads fault codes from the control
units.
SDP3 retrieves other information from its
database.
SDP3 checks the conditions to remain connected.
SDP3 finishes retrieving vehicle information and the OK button becomes available.

Checks and adjustments

In the Checks and adjustments work option,
you can carry out troubleshooting and change
adjustable values.
Here you can access information in order to
troubleshoot the different control systems and
their related components and circuits. There is
also an option to troubleshoot via user functions.
You can also reset parameters in the vehicle
control units and carry out calibrations and
resetting.
You can also analyse the vehicle's stored operational data either directly in SDP3 or via the
menu option View stored operational data. For
more information, refer to section Operational
data.
Procedure when checking
A suitable procedure for troubleshooting is
described here.
Start by finding out what problems the customer has experienced.
1. Start

SDP3.

2. Start

the Checks and adjustments work

option.

3. Go

to Electrical system and read the registered fault codes.

All registered fault codes will be displayed

under Electrical system.
If there are fault codes connected with the
problems which the customer has experienced,
continue troubleshooting via Electrical system
by checking the circuits concerned and rectify
the fault. Otherwise, you should carry out troubleshooting via User functions. Start by checking that the vehicle has a user function which
could be connected with the problem experienced by the customer. Then continue troubleshooting using the information provided under
User functions.

Fault codes

You can read and clear fault codes here. You

can see which fault codes are registered. You
can choose to view fault codes for the entire
vehicle or for each control unit.
The exclamation mark indicates that there are
fault codes. The exclamation mark is displayed
all the way from the vehicle level down to the
circuit where the fault is located.

26 (102)

Scania CV AB 2014

SDP:01 Issue 21

Working with SDP3

The fault codes are divided into active and

inactive ones. Active fault codes are fault
codes which have been registered and where
the fault persists. Inactive fault codes are fault
codes which have been registered but where
the fault has then disappeared.
The fault codes are also divided into primary
and secondary fault codes. A primary fault
code is an original fault code. A secondary
fault code means a fault code which has been
registered in a control unit because a primary
fault code has occurred in another control unit.
Active and primary fault codes are always displayed, and you can then choose whether you
also wish to view inactive and secondary fault
codes.
The default setting for the fault code time
stamp is local time. You can have the time
shown in UTC time instead.
For certain industrial and marine engines, you
can choose to display fault code area 2. All
fault codes ever registered are then displayed.
The fault codes in fault code area 2 cannot be
deleted.

Background information

It is possible to read saved background information from the vehicle for some fault codes
under the More information button. The information consists of a number of values which
can be useful during troubleshooting.
It is important to remember that the values are
not stored at exactly the same time as the fault
code is generated. The control unit carries out
several diagnostic tests before deciding to generate a fault code.
The values are stored immediately when a possible fault is detected whereas the actual fault
code is generated later in many cases. Therefore it may appear as if the displayed values do
not correspond with the time when the fault
code was generated.

Scania CV AB 2014

SDP:01 Issue 21

Working with SDP3

Fault code monitoring

Here you can obtain help to check that a fault

really has been rectified so that the fault code
will not recur after you have rectified it. Fault
code monitoring is used for those fault codes
where the fault does not become active immediately, but for which more complicated verification in the control unit is required before the
fault code is set.
Here you can obtain a continuous read-out of
the fault code status. This should be done
when:
it is necessary for certain conditions to be
met in the vehicle so that the control unit
can test and verify the fault code.
the fault code is filtered based on the number of cycles, which means that the control
unit does not set an active fault code until it
has tested the code four times with a negative result.
the fault code has a long validation period.
When you have selected a fault code which is
monitored, the button is active. You can then
access and monitor that particular fault code.
If you have not selected a fault code, you can
click fault code monitoring and select from
those fault codes which are monitored. This
can be used when fault codes are deleted.
The conditions that apply to the way in which
the control unit verifies the fault codes are
described in the relevant fault code text.

Activation
When you start up the activation window (1),
SDP3 takes control over the inputs and outputs
of the control units concerned.
You choose what to activate by entering a
value or a status (2). When you click the button
(3), the value is sent to the control unit. The
current status is displayed to the right of the
button.
The activation button works differently
depending on what is required for the particular
activation being carried out. The following
options are available:
Activation takes place when you click the
button and to stop activation you have to
click the button again.
Some activations have a time limit which
means that the activation ceases automatically after a certain time. Then the button is
also reset.
Spring-loaded button: you have to hold
down the button during activation.
When activation ceases, the value is reset to its
original level.
It is only when you exit and close the activation window that the control unit regains control over the components concerned.
As a safety feature, activation can always be
interrupted by pressing the space bar.

Factory supported conversion

A factory supported conversion may be:
a conversion of the connected products
existing SOPS file which has been preordered via Fras (1).
or:
a conversion of the connected products
SOPS file which has been pre-ordered via
Conversion (SAIL) (2).
A pre-ordered SOPS file via Conversion
(SAIL) can, besides a converted SOPS file,
also consist of software for control units
and/or program data for control units.
Irrespective of which factory supported conversion that is to be carried out, it is important
that Scania has the current SOPS file from the
product. The SOPS file is sent with the order
via FRAS to the Helpdesk or is uploaded via
Conversion (SAIL).
When a SOPS conversion has been ordered
(irrespective of if the order was placed via
Conversion or Helpdesk), it is important that
no local conversion is carried out before the
pre-ordered conversion is downloaded to the
product. If a local conversion is being carried
out, the pre-ordered SOPS file will be unusable.

Communication
Information is constantly being exchanged
between SDP3 and the control units in the
vehicle/engine SDP3 is connected to. Signals
and messages are sent in both directions. Unexpected interference in communication can
occur which affects the ability to, for example,
read and display information from the control
units.
When interference in communication occurs,
you will be informed of this, either in the form
of a fault message or via a symbol.
It may be worth knowing that disruptions to
communication which occur after you have
connected the program and started work are
usually temporary. If the fault message indicates a cause, check what is indicated and try
again. If no cause is given, try again several
times to see whether the communication problems disappear. If the fault does not seem to
affect the work you are doing, you can ignore
the fault message and continue.
Fault handling in the program is being continuously improved.
The document entitled Communication problems, which can be accessed from the Help
menu, provides more detailed information
about disruptions to communication.

This is how demo mode works

The information displayed in demo mode has
been provided by real vehicles and has been
recorded and saved in the program.
The program works in the same way as it
would if it was connected to a vehicle. The program does not know that it is running in
demo mode. The saved information represents
the programs communication with the vehicle
control units.
If you choose to do something which means
that the program is expecting more information
than is available in the saved vehicle information, the program will interpret this as an interruption of communication with a control unit.
An example of this is when the program sends
a new value to a control unit and expects to
receive a modified value back.
SDP3 will then think that contact has been lost
with the control unit and will work as it would
during normal fault handling.

If a vehicle has a recurring issue and is brought
into the workshop several times, the mechanic
can compare operational data from the different times. The operational data can also be read
using a complete reading via Remote Diagnostics. This is useful when troubleshooting.

Signal logging
Signal logging registers the sensor values from
a control unit and logs them in a file. Signal
logging makes it possible to log parameters
from different control units and compare them
with one another.
The user can select how many parameters
should be logged, but if too many values are
selected and logged at too high a frequency,
this may lead to the vehicle CAN bus becoming overloaded, which may in turn lead to the
registration of incorrect values. The more
parameters logged from an individual control
unit, the more time will pass between each
sampling point for each individual value,
which is why as few parameters as possible
should be selected in case rapid changes need
to be detected.
At present there is no function built into SDP3
which limits or gives a warning when the number of selected parameters has been exceeded
at a given sampling frequency, but as a general
rule, only select the values relevant for the
analysis of a certain problem.
The frequency determines the sampling frequency using the values logged in the file. The
lowest frequency is 0.1 Hz or a value per
parameter every ten seconds, and the highest
sampling frequency is 10 Hz or 10 values per
parameter per second. As mentioned earlier, a
higher sampling frequency means a greater
load on the CAN bus, which means that fewer
values can be logged. The highest sampling
frequency is intended to be used for analysing
components with rapid dynamics such as injection time, while lower frequencies can be used
for parameters which do not change rapidly,
e.g. parameters which display temperature.
It is possible to save a list of the selected
parameters by clicking Save signal list. A
saved signal list can then be opened again by
clicking Open signal list, at which point the
parameters saved in the list are selected automatically.
To start signal logging, check the boxes next to
the corresponding signals that need to be

logged. Set the desired sampling frequency and

click Start. A dialogue box will then appear
where the user can select whether files should
be saved continuously during logging or not. If
this option is selected, the logging files will be
saved continuously and be available even if a
fault occurs, but signal logging over a longer
period will result in many files being saved on
the hard drive. Logging of the signals will start
once you have made this selection.
The user can go to other menus and tabs in
SDP3 while logging is in progress. To cancel
logging, return to the signal logging tab and
click Stop. The log file can now be saved in a
folder of your choice by clicking Save as.
