248 02 – No Communication Between VCU and PLD
Perform the following steps to troubleshoot a loss of communication between the VCU and PLD.
Note: If fault code is inactive and the engine starts, the most likely cause is a poor electrical connection,
careful inspection of all mentioned connectors below is necessary.

b. If the voltage is less than 11 volts, repair wire between 16/9 of the PLD 16-pin connector
and battery ground.
16. Measure the voltage between pin 16/5 and 16/11 of the PLD 16-pin connector.
a. If the voltage is greater than 11 volts, note all voltage measurements taken and contact the
Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center (800-445-1980) for further instructions.
b. If the voltage is less than 11 voltage, repair wire between 16/11 of the PLD 16-pin
connector and battery ground.
Section 32.2.1.1
Required Actions
1. Restore battery voltage at wire 15 on the small engine harness connector (16-pin) on the PLD-
MR.
Section 32.2.1.2
Required Actions
1. Clean or repair as required the terminals on the small engine harness connector (16-pin) plug on
the PLD-MR. See Figure "PLD-MR Engine Bulkhead Schematic — Business Class" and see
Figure "PLD-MR Engine Bulkhead Schematic — Acterra" for wiring schematics.
2. Erase the fault code memory.

1. Check for continuity in wires 439D- and 439D+ connecting the PLD-MR and the DDEC-VCU.
See Figure "PLD-MR Engine Bulkhead Schematic — Business Class" and see Figure "PLD-MR
Engine Bulkhead Schematic — Acterra" for wiring schematics.
a. If continuity was not measured in wires 439D- and 439D+, refer to "32.2.2.1 Required
Actions" .
b. If continuity was measured in wires 439D- and 439D+, go to step 2 .
2. Check for a short to power between wires 439D- and 439D+ connecting the PLD-MR to the
DDEC-VCU.
a. If a short was measured, refer to "32.2.2.1 Required Actions" .
b. If a short was not measured, go to step 3 .
3. Check for a short to ground in wires 439D- and 439D+ connecting the PLD-MR to the DDEC-
VCU.
a. If a short was detected, refer to "32.2.2.1 Required Actions" .
b. If a short was not detected, refer to "32.2.2.2 Required Actions" .
Section 32.2.2.1
Required Actions
1. Replace the twisted pair wire set 439D- and 439D+ between the PLD-MR and the DDEC-VCU.
2. Erase the fault code memory.
