DDEC is a system that monitors and determines all values required for the operation of
the engine. It uses an updated and enhanced version of todays diagnostic tools.
The new DDEC VI is capable of monitoring and managing all engine functions including
the Aftertreatment Systems required to meet EPA 07 emission standards.
DDEC VI controls are available with all Detroit Diesel engines S60, MBE 4000 and MBE
900.
Besides the engine related sensors and the engine-resident control unit (Motor Control
Module), this system has a control unit for vehicle engine management (Common
Powertrain Controller).
The connection to the vehicle is made via a CAN interface which communicates with the
diagnostic tools.

The engine-mounted Motor Control Module (MCM) includes control logic to provide
overall engine management.
It supports additional sensors and actuators required to meet EPA 2007 emissions
standards.
The cab-mounted Common Powertrain Controller (CPC) is the interface between the
MCM and the vehicle and equipment for engine control and manages other vehicle and
equipment functions.
It controls all engine-related vital vehicle functions like Idle Shutdown, Cruise Control and
PTO. The CPC contains fleet management information and customer programmable
parameters.
Advantages:
Vehicle speed limiting helps to keep the engine operating in an efficient RPM band most
of the time in top gear. Vehicle speed limiting maximizes safety, maintenance, and
efficiency.
Description:
The Progressive Shift option offers a high range maximum Vehicle Limit Speed to
encourage the use of high (top) gear during cruise operation. Progressive Shift
encourages the driver to upshift from a lower to a higher gear prior to reaching the
engine's governed speed.
The rate of acceleration will be limited below the programmed MPH to encourage
upshifting. As the driver accelerates beyond a specified MPH speed, the rate of engine
acceleration is limited in higher RPM, to encourage (force) the operator to select the top
gear.
Advantages:
Progressive Shift can be used to encourage drivers to be as efficient as possible in a
majority of accelerating situations. It also allows maximum engine governed speeds
when required.
Operation:
The Progressive Shift option has two sets of Low Range and one set of High Range
parameters, which are programmable with DDDL 7.0, DDRS, or VEPS.
Note:
It is highly recommended that a Progressive Shift pattern is developed with Spec
Manager before changing values to any other than the default or recommended settings.
Incorrect selections could result in mismatched equipment, poor fuel economy and poor
performance.
Recommendation:
- PS Low Gear #1 Max Vehicle Speed = 18 MPH (29 km/h)
- PS Low Gear #1 RPM Limit = 1600 RPM
- PS Low Gear #1 Max Vehicle Speed = 44 MPH (71 km/h)
- PS Low Gear #1 RPM Limit = 1700 RPM
- PS High Gear On Vehicle Speed = 45 MPH (72 km/h)
- PS High Gear RPM Limit = 1800 RPM
Recommendation:
DDC recommends that Max Cruise Set Speed be set to 65 MPH (with a Vehicle Speed
Limit of 68 MPH).
Advantages:
Cruise Control minimizes driver fatigue. DDEC VI controls road speed within a certain
MPH, allowing the engine to optimally throttle itself in hill terrain, during accelerations
(RESUME) and to maintain a steady speed in rolling terrain. Using Cruise Control also
improves fuel economy when used correctly.
Description:
Engine Protection is a vital part of the MCM/CPC programming and software. DDEC VI
monitors coolant level, various pressures and temperatures, and compares these
parameters against the allowable limits to determine when a critical fault is reached.
Operation:
The AWL is illuminated and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) logged if there is an
electronic system fault (i.e. sensor fault). This indicates the problem should be diagnosed
as soon as possible. DDEC VI illuminates the AWL and RSL and stores a DTC if a
potentially engine damaging fault is detected.
Operation Contd:
There are two protection levels:
- Warning = Speed and/or torque may be limited based on the engine protection
parameter. The operator has the responsibility to take action to avoid
engine damage. No shutdown will occur.
- Shutdown = Speed and/or torque may be limited based on the engine protection
parameter. The engine shuts down 60 seconds (for coolant level or
coolant temperature) or 30 seconds (oil pressure or DPF shutdown) after
the RSL is illuminated. The AWL will flash 20-30 seconds before the
shutdown, the RSL will flash 10 seconds before the shutdown to alert
the operator. The Stop Engine Override Switch (SEO Switch) is available
to temporarily delay engine shutdown at the operator's discretion.
Advantages:
Engine Protection watches critical engine parameters with respect to engine health and
warns the driver of situations that require immediate attention.
Description:
The Idle Shutdown Timer will shut down the engine if it remains idling for a specified
period of time. The options that can operate with Idle Shutdown Timer are Idle Shutdown
Override, Vehicle Power Shutdown or Shutdown on Power Take-off (PTO).
Recommendation:
It is recommended to enable Idle Shutdown with Parking Brake and set the idle shutdown
time to 300 seconds.
Advantages:
Idle/PTO Shutdown Timer encourages drivers to minimize idle time during required cool
down periods, which are rare in seasonable ambient conditions.
The purpose of Fuel Economy Incentive (FEI) is to allow the fleet manager to set a fuel
economy target while providing the driver an incentive to meet the target.
If this fuel economy is exceeded, the driver will be awarded a slight increase to the
Vehicle Speed Limit.
Advantages:
Fuel Economy Incentive rewards the driver for achieving a programmed efficiency
plateau. The reward of increased road speed should be used to pass or increase
momentum just before the next grade.
Example:
Maximum Road Speed = 60 mph
FEI Max Vehicle Speed Reward = 5 mph
FEI Conversion Factor = 20 mph/mpg
FEI Minimum Fuel Economy = 7 mpg
Calculation:
Vehicle Speed Limit + (Average FE - FEI Min FE) x FEI Conversion Factor = New VSL
60 mph + (7.1-7.0 mpg) x (20 mph/mpg) = 62 mph
Conclusion:
If the driver has an average fuel economy of 7.1 mpg the new vehicle speed limit is 62 mph.
The maximum vehicle speed obtainable regardless of the fuel economy is 65 mph.
The PasSmart feature allows a fleet manager to enable a second Vehicle Speed Limit
(VSL) above the normal VSL to assist while passing other vehicles on the highway.
This second Vehicle Speed Limit is programmed for a limited duration during a given time
period . The passing speed interval starts when the feature is programmed. An interval
of 8, 12, or 24 hours will always reset at midnight.
Activation:
The driver activates PasSmart by double-pumping the accelerator pedal. If the driver
completes this action within five seconds, PasSmart is activated.
Deactivation:
A passing speed duration timer starts when vehicle speed exceeds the normal VSL and
continues to count until the vehicle speed drops back below the normal VSL. At the end
of the passing event when the vehicle speed drops back below the normal VSL, PasSmart
is automatically deactivated and the driver cannot exceed the normal VSL unless the
accelerator pedal is double-pumped again.

PasSmart Contd
Advantages:
PasSmart allows some driver discretion with regards to maximum programmed speed in
certain situations. When correctly programmed, it only gets the driver out of aggravating
situations with respect to other vehicles running in groups.
Regeneration is the oxidation of soot in the Aftertreatment Device (ATD). This process
happens during the normal operation cycle of the vehicle; it can occur both passively and
actively.
If the ATD is not capable of completing a successful regeneration due to duty cycle
constraints or other restrictions, a parked regeneration may need to occur.
When the request is accepted, the DPF Lamp will turn on for one (1) second and then go
off for the rest of the stationary regeneration. The engine will increase its idle speed for
the regeneration process.
Once the parked regeneration is completed successfully, the DPF Lamp will remain off
and the engine will return to base idle. If any of the requirements are removed, the
engine will return to idle.
To cancel a parked regeneration, the driver can toggle the DPF Regeneration Switch to
ON for five (5) seconds. The DPF Lamp will turn on for one (1) second to show
acceptance of the cancellation request and then return to the appropriate state as
defined by the current level of soot in the engine.
The parked regeneration may also be cancelled by pressing in the clutch, selecting a gear
in an Automatic/AMT, disabling the Park Brake, or detection of vehicle movement.
