Mother Nature Delays opening
of New Dallas Dealership
On Wednesday, June 10, with only days until the opening of ATC’s newest dealership
in Dallas, Mother Nature struck. Around midnight a line of strong thunderstorms moved
through the area doing substantial damage to the new and used truck sales building.
Scheduled to open on the following Monday, June 15th, the dealership, located
between I-35 East and I-45 on I-20 at Bonnie View Road, is now picking up the pieces
and repairing the damage. While none of the buildings suffered major structural failure,
debris from parking awnings sliced through portions of the roof and allowed water from
the ensuing torrential rains to flood the offices of the truck sales building. The result –
a large portion of the interior and contents will have to be repaired or replaced before
we’re able to open the truck sales building, however, the parts and service building will
open to the public on June 22nd.
On a brighter note, while disappointed at the prospect of delaying the opening of
the dealership, ATC President and CEO Charles Bowen said, “I’ve been in business 47
years in Oklahoma and Texas and never really experienced any significant down time
from storms. Pretty lucky considering where we do business. I’m just glad there were
no injuries and no customer vehicles damaged or destroyed.”
“Mother Nature gave us her best shot, although she knocked us down, we weren’t
out for the count,” said John Miciotto, “within just a few hours our dedicated employees
immediately began the clean-up process and our contractors are busy getting everything
back in order to minimize the delay of opening the dealership.”
In the interim you can still find the same reliable, sales, parts and service at the
original Dallas location on 3040 Irving Blvd. as well as any of our other ATC dealerships.
Thanks for your patience.
Port Blvd.
ATC managers begin cleanup at the company’s newest Dallas dealership. Debris from awnings contributed to the damage by slicing through roofs as it was
blown across the facility. Torrential rains then flooded
the interior of the structure damaging everything from
wall coverings and telephones to computers.

Turbo Compounding
The DD15’s use of a turbine wheel to boost
engine power with exhaust gas – gas that is
normally thrown away through the stack.
Cascadia
TM
A potent combination in the battle
to combat high fuel prices.
When powered by Detroit Diesel’s impressive new DD15 engine, the Freightliner Cascadia can achieve 90% power in just 1.5 seconds and give you up to
50 free horsepower* from turbo compounding. Couple that
with up to 5% better fuel economy** over other leading engines
and Cascadia’s best-in-class aerodynamics, and you’re talking
some serious savings. Want to know more about this potent combination? Give
us a call to set up your test drive. We’ll be glad to do it and you’ll be glad you did!
* Effectiveness of turbo compound is based on load on the engine.
The turbo compound returns horsepower back to the engine’s flywheel.
** Compared to a Detroit Diesel Series 60 EPA 2007 engine with
comparable engine ratings and load weights.

wheels & deals tech talk
By Jerry Bisbee – ATC Tech Trainer
Cascadia HVAC Operation – Part One
The new Freightliner Cascadia is equipped with a multiplexed
electronic control system. Put simply, multiplexed electronic
controls share information with each other. The information
from input devices wired to one control module is broadcast
over a databus so that information may be used by another
control module. Most of the electrical systems on the truck are furnished battery
power, ignition power, accessory power and ground by two Signal detection and
Actuation Modules, a.k.a SAMs (see Figure 1). These two SAMs, the Cabin SAM
and the Chassis SAM also control most of the electrical features of the truck.
What does this have to do with the heating and air conditioning system you might
ask? The answer is that these SAMs also receive inputs from switches and sensors on the truck and use that information to control outputs that are wired to the
SAMS. They also transmit that information on a Controller Area Network (CAN)
databus called the Cabin CAN. Some of this information is used by the air conditioning control modules, called the Front Control Unit (FCU) and the Auxiliary
Control Unit (ACU), to control the air conditioning and heating system.

and Actuation Module)

n Conclusion
Technicians who diagnose control issues on this system have to understand
where the information comes from, and which control module is controlling
what. Part Two of this article will illustrate ways technicians can use to determine whether the HVAC system is receiving the information it needs to operate
correctly. Stay Tuned!

The engine fan is controlled by the Motor Control Module (MCM). The MCM
engages and releases the engine fan based on information it receives from its
own sensors, but it also has to control the fan based on databus information
it receives from the FCU and the Cabin Sam. When the refrigerant pressure
sensed by the Cabin Sam becomes high enough that the engine fan needs to be
turned on, the FCU sends a request to the CPC over the J-1939 databus. The
CPC sends a command to the MCM over the Engine CAN databus and the MCM
engages the engine fan. The engine fan On Time varies with vehicle speed and
park brake status (see Table 1). Vehicle Speed is sensed by the Vehicle Speed
Sensor that is wired to the CPC. The CPC broadcasts Vehicle Speed over the
J-1939 databus and it is received by the FCU. Park Brake Status is broadcast
by the Cabin Sam from information it receives from a Park Brake switch that is
wired to it. Engine Fan On-Time logic is programmed into the FCU.
SAM – Cabin ECU
•Connects the 4 CAN ECUs to
the Starpoint Connector
•Consists of a light blue and white
twisted pair of wires
Terminates with a 60-ohm resistor
•
across the legs of the Starpoint Connector
•Communicates at 125,000 bits per second
The Cabin CAN databus connects four modules on the truck. They are the Cabin
Sam, Chassis SAM, Modular Switch Field (MSF) master, and the Central Gateway
Module (CGW). The Cabin Can connects all four of these modules to a Starpoint
Connector. This connector is a junction box that ties all these sections of the Cabin
CAN together (See Figure 2). The Central Gateway Module that is connected to
the Cabin CAN translates the information on the Cabin CAN databus and routes it
to other databusses that are connected to other modules such as the two air conditioning control modules (FCU and ACU). For example, the two air conditioning
control modules, the FCU and ACU, communicate on the J-1939 databus. They
receive information that is broadcast by the Cabin SAM after the information is
translated the by Central Gateway Module and sent out over the J-1939 databus.

Several inputs received from sensors wired to the Cabin SAM are used for
HVAC control. These four inputs are: Ambient Temperature, High Side Refrigerant
Pressure, Park Brake Status, and Low Air Pressure Status (see Figure 3). The
Cabin SAM not only receives inputs but also controls outputs such as the AC
compressor clutch. The AC compressor clutch receives power and ground
from the Cabin Sam. Figure 4 illustrates the engagement rules that must be
met before the AC compressor clutch will be powered. The information used to
determine whether the engagement rules are met comes from several sources.
The Blower Speed switch and the AC switch are mounted in the FCU. The
Countdown Timers are in software programmed into the FCU. Air Pressure
Status is broadcast by the Cabin Sam from information it receives from Primary
and Secondary air pressure switches that are wired to the Cabin SAM. Engine
RPM is broadcast over the J-1939 databus by the Engine’s Common Powertrain
Controller (CPC) that is mounted behind the center dash panel. The CPC receives
engine RPM from the Motor Control Module (MCM) that is mounted on the left
side of the engine. The CPC and MCM communicate with each other over a
proprietary databus called the Engine CAN. Ambient Temperature and High
Side Refrigerant Pressure are broadcast by the Cabin Sam from information
received by sensors wired to the Cabin Sam. The Ambient Temperature sensor
is mounted behind the front bumper at the end of the right frame rail. The High
Side Refrigerant Pressure sensor is mounted in the high side refrigerant line in
front of the cab frontwall in the engine compartment. Battery Voltage is sensed
internally in the Cabin Sam. Evaporator Temperature is sensed by the FCU from
a temperature sensor that is located next to the evaporator in the front HVAC unit.
This sensor measures the temperature of the air coming off the evaporator.
