Diagnostic Tool
The diagnostic tool for Detroit Diesel Electronic Control (DDEC 10) is the DiagnosticLink® 8.x. DiagnosticLink requirements are listed earlier in the manual under Data Recording Capability.
Once the malfunction has been corrected, the DDEC system will return the engine to normal operation.
The air temperature in the intake system is increased with the addition of EGR. DDEC is programmed to reduce fueling (power) for a short time to reduce air and coolant temperatures when necessary.
DDEC will store an information code when this event occurs, but no corrective action is required. This action is designed to maintain operation without a noticeable effect on vehicle performance.
