DDEC VI/10 provides an indication of engine and vehicle malfunctions. The MCM continually
monitors the DDEC VI/10 system.
Any faults that occur are stored as codes. These codes can be accessed in any of three ways:
• A DiagnosticLink® Standard for DDEC VI/10 can be used to read the codes.
• A personal computer (PC) connected to the Motor Control Module (MCM) through a
translator device using SAE J1939 Data Link+, are used as the communication link, to
Common Powertrain Controller (CPC) and CAN link to Motor Control Module (MCM).
• The Amber Warning Lamp (AWL) (check engine) or the Red Stop Lamp (RSL) is
illuminated.
The AWL (check engine) (panel mounted yellow indicator light) illuminated diagnose condition
as soon as convenient, lights are CPC controlled. The RSL (panel mounted red indicator light) and
AWL (check engine) illuminated, a major fault occurred and immediate attention required to
avoid engine damage. Automatic engine shutdown or ramp down 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 ramp down. The MCM tells the light when to activate.

The CPC is the interface between the MCM and the vehicle/equipment for engine control and
manages other vehicle/equipment functions.
The OEM is responsible for mounting this part in an enclosed, protected environment. The
mounting bracket is the responsibility of the OEM. There must be maximum physical separation
of the VIH from other vehicle/equipment electrical systems. Other electrical system wires should
ideally be at least three feet away from the VIH and should not be parallel to the VIH. This will
eliminate coupling electromagnetic energy from other systems into the VIH.

The CPC communicates over the J1587 and J1939 Data Links to the vehicle.
Within the CPC, sets of data for specific applications are stored. These include idle speed,
maximum running speed, and speed limitation. Customer programmable parameters are also
stored here.
The CPC receives data from the operator (accelerator pedal position, switches, various sensors)
and other electronic control units (for example, synchronization controllers for more than one
genset, air compressor controls).
From this data, instructions are computed for controlling the engine and transmitted to the MCM
via the proprietary data link.

1. Are there any battery voltage faults (any SPN 168 FMI faults)?
1. Yes; troubleshoot battery voltage faults first.
2. No; Go to step 2.
2. Has the Aftertreatment Control Module (ACM), Motor Control Module (MCM), or
Common Powertrain Controller (CPC) been recently programmed?
1. Yes; clear the fault codes. If faults do not become active, release the vehicle. If
faults become active, Go to step 3.

2. No;Go to step 3.
NOTE: ACM, MCM, and CPC all communicate on the same CAN line. If water penetrates
any connector, it can short the CAN line and may prevent communications with other
ECUs.
NOTE: Main battery power must be left ON.
NOTE: The five minute time-frame allows the ACM to go completely offline.
3. Turn ignition OFF and wait five minutes before proceeding.
4. Disconnect ACM 21-pin connector.
5. Inspect the 21–pin ACM connector for corroded, unseated (pushed out) or damaged
pins, bent or spread pins; inspect the connector seal for damage (signs of water or oil
intrusion).
1. If contamination or damage is found, repair as necessary. Go to step 21.
2. If no contamination or damage is found, Go to step 6.
6. Check ACM internal terminating resistor by measuring and recording the resistance
across pins 10 and 20 of the ACM 21-pin connector, component side.

19. Measure the resistance between pin 19 of the MCM 21-pin harness connector and pin 20
of the ACM 21-pin harness connector.
1. If the resistance is less than 5 ohms, Go to step 20.
2. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair the wire between pin 19 of the
MCM 21-pin harness connector and pin 20 of the ACM 21-pin harness connector. Go
to step 21.
20. Measure the resistance between pin 13 of the MCM 21-pin harness connector and pin 10
of the ACM 21-pin harness connector.
1. If the resistance is less than 5 ohms, install a test ACM and retest. If code does not
return, replace ACM. Refer to OEM procedures. Go to step 21.
2. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair the wire between pin 13 of the
MCM 21-pin harness connector and pin 10 of the ACM 21-pin harness connector. Go
to step 21.
21. Verify repairs. Restore all connections. Cycle the ignition key. Is fault code still active?
1. Yes; replace the ACM. Refer to OEM procedures.
2. No; If fault does not become active, clear the fault codes and release the vehicle.

ENGINE EXHAUST
To avoid injury from inhaling engine exhaust, always operate the engine in a well-ventilated area.
Engine exhaust is toxic.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To avoid injury from electrical shock, use care when connecting battery cables. The magnetic
switch studs are at battery voltage.
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury, never remove any engine component while the engine is running.
Check as follows:
Show/Hide Checkboxes

2. Check the condition of the alternator drive belt and replace, if required. Is fault still
active?
1. Yes; Go to step 3.
2. No; verify repairs.
3. Check for loose alternator mounting and retighten or repair, as required. Is fault still
active?
1. Yes; Go to step 4.

4. Check for proper alternator operation and repair or replace, as required. Is fault still
active?
1. Yes; Go to step 5.
2. No; erase fault code memory.
5. Check the condition of the battery; does it hold the charge? Replace if required. Is fault
still active?
1. Yes; Go to step 6.
2. No; verify repairs.
6. Turn the ignition OFF.
