for Liebherr Diesel engines with control unit LH ECU UP/CR

What signifies DCDesk 2000?

• DCDesk 2000 is the engine diagnostic software
for:
• PLD engines with control unit LH ECU UP/CR
• Common-rail engines with LH ECU UP/CR

Requirements
• Notebook with software DCDesk 2000 and
Hardlock (Dongle)
• The engine diagnostic may only be performed
by persons authorized Liebherr Ehingen.

Remark:

Caution:
Procedure in the event of active errors:
1. Rectify the error causes.
2. Check if the error is still present as an active error, if yes - activate the push
button delete error.
3. If the error message does not disappear from the active error section, the
ignition must be switched off.

The error memory

All errors in one table are stored in and maintained in the error memory. This
table provides additional information for each stored error. Since each error is
only listed once, each error number provides
■ the frequency, how often the error has appeared,
■ the operating hour when the error first appeared and
■ the operating hour when the error appeared last time.

This concludes:
In order to display the error that appeared last in the table above, the
table must be sorted by a mouse click on the column „last Occurence“.

Configuration of plug-in pumps (only PLD engines)

Due to production reasons, at the PLD system, plug-in pumps are classified in different tolerance
classes. At the replacement of a plug-in pump,it is necessary to inform the control unit of the corre-
spondant „tolerance classe code nummer“. Only in this manner can the correct injection volume be
assured.

Start DCDesk and estblish the connec- „Tolerance classe code numberr“
tion with the control unit.
1. By the menue point control unit/adju-
stment/injector code, call for the dialog
window injector code.
2. Read the „tolerance classe code “
of the plug-in pump and enter it behind
the corresponding cylinder. 2.
