SERIES 60 EGR TECHNICIAN'S MANUAL
A LETTER TO TECHNICIANS
The Series 60 engine is entering its 18th year!
Since its introduction in 1987, over 729,000 Series 60 engines have been introduced in the market.
The technological changes that have occurred during those 14 years have resulted in a different
type of engine, requiring a different class of technicians. Today’s technician is required to have
computer skills, excellent comprehension of the written word and possess an extensive diagnostic
understanding of the various technological systems and components. Today’s technician must
perform at a higher level of ef fi ciency and competency than their predecessors and at the same
time furnish professional quality support.
As the leader in engine computer systems and technology, Detroit Diesel Corporation remains
focused on providing excellence in products, service support and training. As products become
more and more advanced, today’s technicians must become specialized in multiple areas. This
manual is designed with that thought in mind. This Series 60 EGR Technician’s Guide will
provide you with concentrated information that will allow you to excel in EGR technology.
The Series 60 EGR Technician’s Guide supports the October 2002 through current production
Series 60 EGR engines. Acronyms are used throughout this guide, acronyms which support both
the DDEC IV and DDEC V system. To avoid any confusion, please refer to the acronym chart
listed in Table A-1 to better understand the meaning and intended use of each acronym.
After completing this guide you will:
Understand the function of the Series 60 EGR engine components and their interdependence
Understand Series 60 EGR operating modes
Recognize the logic, component, and protection codes logged within the ECM/ECU
Learn the acceptable pressure output values from a Variable Pressure Output Device
(VPOD)
Be able to record, playback, save, and e-mail a DDDL snapshot
Apply your understanding of the EGR system logic to review DDDL diagnostic snapshots

SERIES 60 EGR TECHNICIAN'S MANUAL
1 INTRODUCTION
The Series 60 EGR Technician's Guide is intended to be used by a quali fi ed service technician
familiar with Detroit Diesel electronically controlled (DDEC) diesel engines and to provide a
better understanding of the EGR system to improve the diagnosing of a Series 60® EGR system.
Prerequisites for effective diagnosis include the following topics:
Knowledge of both the engine and vehicle principles of operation.
Ability to perform and to understand service manual and troubleshooting manual
procedures.
Availability and training to use gages and diagnostic test equipment.
Familiarization of the computer software associated with DDC products.
An essential tool to properly diagnose and troubleshoot a DDEC IV or DDEC V Series 60
EGR engine is the Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link® (DDDL).
This tool will provide you all the help you will need as it contains proper troubleshooting
information for all products.
NOTE:
It is absolutely critical that you understand the EGR system to be quali fi ed to offer any
type of proper diagnostics. Do not waste time trying to troubleshoot a DDC product, you
are not quali fi ed to troubleshoot. Your company may incur wasted labor hours. If you are
quali fi ed to perform a troubleshooting task and have spent more than one hour on that
task, STOP , and contact the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center at 313-592-5800.
Once you have discussed your options with a customer support center person, you can
perform the required tests and evaluations. Please keep in contact with your customer
support person. Doing so allows you to stay on track.

INTRODUCTION
BASICS
The following listed items should be checked prior to starting any troubleshooting:
Ensure that the engine serial number on the ECM/ECU matches the serial number on
the cylinder block.
Walk around the vehicle. Look for obvious problems such as leaks (air or liquid).
Inspect the ECM/ECU for worn isolators, debris or bolts lodged between ECM/ECU and
cylinder block.
Ensure the fuel supply shut-off valve is set to full on .
Check that the fuel fi lter is secure and tight.
Check for a restricted air fi lter.
Inspect truck frontal area for air fl ow restriction through the CAC and radiator.
Ensure that the fuel tank level is correct and that the fuel tank is full.
Look for any vehicle damage.
Investigate any prior repairs, if applicable.
Check for broken wiring connectors.
Check for poor mating of the connector halves or terminals not fully seated in the connector
body (backed out terminals).
Look for improperly formed or damaged terminals. All connector terminals in the problem
circuit should be carefully inspected to determine proper contact tension. Use a mating
terminal to test the contact tension.
Check for electrical system interference caused by a defective relay, ECM/ECU driven
solenoid, or a switch causing an electrical surge. Look for problems with the charging
system (alternator, etc.). In certain cases, the problem can be made to occur when the
faulty component is operated as in the case of a relay.
Verify that alternator grounds are clean and making good contact. Disconnect the alternator
belt to test.
Wiggle wires and harnesses to try to make the problem active, or re-occur.
