1

INTRODUCTION

The Series 60 EGR Technician's Guide is intended to be used by a qualified 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 qualified to offer any
type of proper diagnostics. Do not waste time trying to troubleshoot a DDC product, you
are not qualified to troubleshoot. Your company may incur wasted labor hours. If you are
qualified 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.
