DERATE
Published / by Mechanic / Leave a Com-

This is will work on Freightliner

Cascadia’s with DD15 engines(EPA10
or GHG14)
1. Confirm derate is due to active

ACM fault (DPF/DOC/SCR related).
Turn o! engine.
2. Open hood
3. Find PNDB fuse box (located to
the left of the steering shaft coming
out the firewall). Fuse box has 2
yellow locks & flashing red light
4. Open cover & remove green
30amp mini fuse (labelled ACM)
5. Once removed. Close fuse box &
hood.
6. Start engine
7. Truck will have engine stop
warning(Ignore)
8. Find the “engine overide” button
on the dash (typically located beside
regen button)
9. Hold down button and drive unit.
10. Truck will now drive @55mph
(95km/hr). But driver will have to
continue to hold down the button.
THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS

WILL ALLOW DRIVER TO MAKE IT
TO THE YARD/REPAIR SHOP.

Using the sequence shown below,

torque the 38 large bolts in four
steps to:
◦50 N·m (37 lb·ft).
◦250 N·m (184 lb·ft).
◦ 90° torque turn.
◦90° torque turn
The end play specification is 0.099

to 0.419 mm (0.0039 to 0.0165
in.). Insu#cient end play can be the
result of a misaligned No. 6 main
bearing, a misaligned upper thrust
washer or debris on the inner face
of one or more of the thrust wash-
ers.
Correct the end play, if necessary.
NOTE: If the main bearings have

been installed properly, the crank-
shaft will turn freely with all of the
main bearing cap bolts drawn to the
specified torque.
For the DD13: torque all of the main
bearing cap bolts, in three steps,
using the sequence shown below.
Torque the main bearing cap bolts
to:
1. 150 N·m (111 lb·ft)

2. 300 N·m (221 lb·ft)
3. 90° torque turn
For the DD15 and DD16; torque all

of the main bearing cap bolts, in
four steps, using the sequence
shown below. Torque the main
bearing cap bolts to:
1. 150 N·m (111 lb·ft)

2. 250 N·m (184 lb·ft)
3. 1st 90° torque turn
4. 2nd 90° torque turn
Using new bolts, install the bearing

cap (3) on the rod (1) with the
numbers (2) on the same side.
d030060
Torque the connecting rod bolts

alternately to the following:
For the DD13: 180 N·m (133 lb·ft) +
90° torque turn
180° torque turn
180° torque turn

Procedure/
Valve Lash
ment
Leave a reply
1. Turn engine OFF, (key OFF, engine

OFF).
Do not power wash or steam clean

the engine bay in the area of vehicle
electrical components, unless speci-
fied by vehicle manuals or service
literature. Power washing/steam
cleaning can permanently damage
these components, which could re-
sult in fire, personal injury, or prop-
erty damage.
2. Steam clean the engine.

3. Disconnect the starting power for
the engine. Refer to OEM proce-
dures.
4. Remove the air cleaner and the
turbocharger inlet pipe and hose.
Refer to OEM procedures.
5. Remove air cleaner housing. Refer
to OEM procedures.
6. Remove the rocker cover. Refer
to section “Removal of the Rocker
Cover”
7. Using special tool (J-46392 or
W904589046300), bar the engine
over until cylinder number one is at
Top Dead Center (TDC) compression
stroke.
8. Using a feeler gauge (1), lash in-
take valves one, two and four to 0.4
mm (0.016 in.).1. Figure below dis-
plays the old style intake camshaft
with 12 lobes and the old style
rocker arms. These components
were utilized on DD13 engines built
before engine serial number
HDE0079072 and on the DD15 &
DD16 engines built before
HDE0077481.
d050015
2. Figure below displays the new

style intake camshaft with 6 lobes
and bridged rocker arms. These
components were installed on DD13
engines beginning with engine serial
number HDE0079072 and on the
DD15 &DD16 engines beginning with
engine serial number HDE0077481.
The components are not backwards
compatible.
d050015a
9. Using a feeler gauge (1), lash ex-

haust valves one, three and five to
0.6 mm (0.024 in.).
10. Using special tool (J-46392 or
W904589046300), bar the engine
over 360° until cylinder number six
is at TDC compression stroke.
11. Lash intake valves three, five,
and six to 0.4 mm (0.016 in.).
12. Lash exhaust valves two, four
and six to 0.6 mm (0.024 in.).
13. Torque the locknut valve adjust-
ing screw to 50 N·m (37 lb·ft).
14. Remove any tools used for this
procedure.
15. Set the engine brake lash.
DD15 ENGINE BRAKE/ JAKE BRAKE

LASH ADJUSTMENT
1. Set the lash on all the exhaust

adjusting screws first (all the ad-
justing screws in direct contact with
the exhaust valves).
2. Rotate the engine until a given
cylinder is at maximum intake lift.
When this is reached, the brake lash
can be set on this cylinder.
3. When the engine brake rocker
arm is in contact with the exhaust
valve, set the lash between the en-
gine brake rocker arm adjusting
screw and the actuator piston
stem.1. DD15 & DD16 engines built
before HDE0077481 use Engine
Brake Adjustment tool
W470589022300; set the lash to
4.1 mm (0.1614 in.).
2. DD 15 & DD16 engines built
starting with HDE0077481 use En-
gine Brake Adjustment tool
W470589042300; set the lash to
4.6 mm (0.1811 in.).
3. DD13 engines built before
HDE0079072 use Engine Brake Ad-
justment Tool W470589022300;
set the lash to 4.1 mm (0.1614 in.).
4. DD13 engines built starting with
HDE0079072 use Engine Brake Ad-
justment tool W470589042300; set
the lash to 4.6 mm (0.1811 in.).
4. Lash the engine brakes in the

following firing order: 1, 5, 3, 6, 2,
and 4.
5. Torque the locknut valve adjust-
ing screw to 50 N·m (37 lb·ft).
6. Install the rocker cover

If the LPPI is greater than the speci-

fied range, check for inlet restric-
tions.
If the high pressure pump Inlet

pressure is lower than the accept-
able pressure, check the pressure
di!erence across the low pressure
pump outlet pressure sensor and
fuel compensation pressure sensor.
If engine does not have a low pres-
sure pump outlet pressure sensor,
install J-48876 and use priming
port pressure.
