Volvo Penta EDC KAMD44 Harness Introduction

Here is the first of a series of videos on Volvo Penta EDC engines. These are the first fully electronically controlled Diesel engines of the late 1990's and early 2000's. This video covers the harnessing and connections for the remote control and push button panel. Enjoy!

Hey Ted,
Thanks for the Video, i have those engines in my boat.😊
In the technical Database stay 3.59 liter.
We have had the problem, when we start the engines, the voltage go to far down so the edc had not enough to Funktion, even with a new starter battery.
So we decided to gave the edc an separate
Battery that voltage not go down in the moment that we use the starter.
But now i have to switch on the battery for the starter and the edc battery.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Marcus

Could be a bad alternator or regulator. Also if you recently changed an alternator you need to check if the alternator needs battery voltage to regulate. Especially if you are using a battery isolator like Victron ArgoFet. (The Victron Argofet has an Energize output that needs to be connected to the alternator D+ input) I changed from a wrong wired diode isolator to a properly wired Argofet on my KAD32 and the charging voltage increased from 13V to 14,5V.

Good morning Ted, nice and informative video! I am developing a brand new EDC for TAMD and KAD/KAMD engines, which solves many issues of the original one. Do you think there is a market for this product? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.

Good morning Ted, just finished watching your 2 videos on the EDC for the 44 KAMD engine. I found these videos very informative and the fact you use mock up stations really help in understanding how things work. My problem is with a 2003 vessel with twin Volvo Penta 300 KAMD engines. When starting the motors I turn key to position 1 hold key button down for 3 seconds turn key to the start engine the green light does not come on for port engine. I wait a few minutes and repeat normally after 3 or 4 tries the motor starts. Once started the boat runs fine. Any tips for this issue or would I start by going through the procedure in your videos? Thanks, john

I would try recalibrating the control to see if that resets the value. Being an intermittent you can also see if the main relay is the issue (replace it) which helps supply voltage to the push button panel.
