Summary
On vehicle DOC Cleaning MaxxForce® 7 Engines
1 Affected Product
Vehicle
DESCRIPTION
A method to clean the DOC on the vehicle with NED in combination with ZTSE 6031 has been developed.
A partially plugged DOC may cause excessive Exhaust Back Pressure and cause a rise in engine oil level due to fuel dilution.
When the ECM calibration is updated the (parameter 87002) Customer Password (CPW) is restored to Calibration default (0000). You will need to acquire the CPW and program it back in when finished with the update. The only exception to this is if the ECM is updated with NETS and we have the CPW saved in our database, then the CPW will be programmed back into the ECM during a cal update. If this happens, see the note on step 11 of this article.
SYMPTOMS
Loss of Power
Excessive regens
Unable to regen
Rise in oil level
High exhaust back pressure
POSSIBLE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
| DTC | MODULE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| 2352 | ECM | Remote Throttle Signal Out-of-Range |
SERVICE PROCEDURE
To prevent unexpected movement of the vehicle and possible serious personal injury or death, park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, set the parking brake, turn the engine off and chock the wheels to prevent vehicle from moving in both directions.
To avoid personal injury from the muffler and exhaust system allow the vehicle to cool sufficiently before servicing the muffler and exhaust system.
Maintain adequate clearance between all parts of the exhaust system and all hoses, wires and lines for engine cooling, brake system, fuel system, power steering system and electrical system. Ensure that all components near the exhaust system are free of oil or other flammable debris. If the
heat from DOC cleaning accumulates to certain amount near the exhaust system, it may set nearby items on fire and result in property damage, personal injury or death.
- Remove the three M10 X 50 flange bolts at the rear of the DPF.
- Insert Restrictor plate torque bolts to 40 lbf-ft. (School Bus and horizontal tailpipe only) See Photo 1
- Disconnect both the EGDP tubes from the rubber hose at the EGDP Sensor
CAUTION :
UPDATE! A tool modification kit for ZTSE6031 was shipped to all dealers in May 2011. ZTSE6031 should ONLY be used AFTER this modification has been completed.
