DDEC III/IV System Series 60 Diesel Engine

DDEC III/IV provides an indication of engine and vehicle malfunctions. The ECM continually monitors the DDEC III/IV system.

Any faults that occur are stored as codes in the ECM’s memory. These codes can be accessed in any of three ways: ‪

  1. A DDR can be used to read the codes.
  2. A personal computer (PC) connected to the ECM through a translator device which converts J1708 to RS232 protocol can be used.
  3. The Check Engine Light (CEL) or the Stop Engine Light (SEL) is illuminated.
    • The CEL (panel mounted yellow indicator light) illuminated diagnose condition as soon as convenient.
    • The SEL (panel mounted red indicator light) and CEL illuminated, a major fault occurred and immediate attention required to avoid engine damage.
    • Automatic engine shutdown or rampdown is available as an option. A shutdown override switch is required to allow the vehicle to be moved to a safe location during automatic shutdown or rampdown.

  • Password
  • Droop
  • Active hp braking
  • Cruise control

  • Vehicle speed sensor
