INTRODUCTION
THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety measures are essential for applications with a Detroit Diesel engine and an
Electronic Engine Commander (EEC) module being installed.
PERSONAL INJURY
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and
other reproductive harm.
Always start and operate an engine in a well ventilated
area.
If operating an engine in an enclosed area, vent the
exhaust to the outside.
Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system or
emission control system.
2.1 STANDS
Use safety stands in conjunction with hydraulic jacks or hoists. Do not rely on either the jack or
the hoist to carry the load.
2.2 GLASSES
Select appropriate safety glasses for the job. Safety glasses must be worn when using tools
such as hammers, chisels, pullers and punches.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.3 WELDING
Use caution when welding.
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from arc welding, gas welding, or cutting,
wear required safety equipment such as an arc welder’s face
plate or gas welder’s goggles, welding gloves, protective
apron, long sleeve shirt, head protection, and safety shoes.
Always perform welding or cutting operations in a well
ventilated area. The gas in oxygen/acetylene cylinders used
in gas welding and cutting is under high pressure. If a
cylinder should fall due to careless handling, the gage end
could strike an obstruction and fracture, resulting in a gas
leak leading to fire or an explosion. If a cylinder should fall
resulting in the gage end breaking off, the sudden release
of cylinder pressure will turn the cylinder into a dangerous
projectile. Observe the following precautions when using
oxygen/acetylene gas cylinders:
Always wear required safety shoes.
Do not handle tanks in a careless manner or with greasy
gloves or slippery hands.
Use a chain, bracket, or other restraining device at all
times to prevent gas cylinders from falling.
Do not place gas cylinders on their sides, but stand
them upright when in use.
Do not drop, drag, roll, or strike a cylinder forcefully.
Always close valves completely when finished welding
or cutting.

NOTICE:
When welding, the following must be done to avoid damage to the
electronic controls or the engine:
Both the positive (+) and negative (-) battery leads must be
disconnected before welding.
Ground cable must be in close proximity to welding location
- engine must never be used as a grounding point.
Welding on the engine or engine mounted components is
NEVER recommended.
FIRE
To avoid injury from fire, check for fuel or oil leaks before
welding or carrying an open flame near the engine.
2.4 WORK PLACE

Organize your work area and keep it clean.
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from slipping and falling, immediately clean
up any spilled liquids.
Eliminate the possibility of a fall by:

Wiping up oil spills
Keeping tools and parts off the floor
A fall could result in a serious injury.
After installation of the engine is complete:

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from rotating belts and fans, do not remove
and discard safety guards.
Reinstall all safety devices, guards or shields

Check to be sure that all tools and equipment used to install the engine are removed
from the engine
2.5 CLOTHING
Wear work clothing that fits and is in good repair. Work shoes must be sturdy and rough-soled.
Bare feet, sandals or sneakers are not acceptable foot wear when installing an engine.
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury when working near or on an operating engine,
remove loose items of clothing and jewelry. Tie back or
contain long hair that could be caught in any moving part
causing injury.
2.6 ELECTRIC TOOLS

Improper use of electrical equipment can cause severe injury.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To avoid injury from electrical shock, follow OEM furnished
operating instructions prior to usage.

2.7 AIR
Use proper shielding to protect everyone in the work area.
EYE INJURY
To avoid injury from flying debris when using compressed air,
wear adequate eye protection (face shield or safety goggles)
and do not exceed 40 psi (276 kPa) air pressure.
2.8 FLUIDS AND PRESSURE

Be extremely careful when dealing with fluids under pressure.
HOT COOLANT
To avoid scalding from the expulsion of hot coolant, never
remove the cooling system pressure cap while the engine is
at operating temperature. Wear adequate protective clothing
(face shield, rubber gloves, apron, and boots). Remove the
cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Fluids under pressure can have enough force to penetrate the skin.
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from penetrating fluids, do not put your hands
in front of fluid under pressure. Fluids under pressure can
penetrate skin and clothing.
These fluids can infect a minor cut or opening in the skin. See a doctor at once, if injured by
escaping fluid. Serious infection or reaction can result without immediate medical treatment.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.9 BATTERIES
Electrical storage batteries give off highly flammable hydrogen gas when charging and continue
to do so for some time after receiving a steady charge.
Battery Explosion and Acid Burn

To avoid injury from battery explosion or contact with battery
acid, work in a well ventilated area, wear protective clothing,
and avoid sparks or flames near the battery. If you come in
contact with battery acid:
Flush your skin with water.
Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
Flush your eyes with water.
Get medical attention immediately.
Always disconnect the battery cable before working on the Detroit Diesel Electronic Controls
system.
2.10 FIRE
Keep a charged fire extinguisher within reach. Be sure you have the correct type of extinguisher
for the situation. The correct fire extinguisher types for specific working environments are
listed in .
Fire Extinguisher Work Environment

Type A Wood, Paper, Textile and Rubbish
Type B Flammable Liquids
Type C Electrical Equipment
Table 2-1 The Correct Type of Fire Extinguisher

2.11 DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT

For mobile applications, any diagnostic equipment such as the Diagnostic Data Reader (DDR)
and Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link® (DDDL) must be used by personnel other than the vehicle
operator.
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from loss of vehicle/vessel control, the
operator of a DDEC equipped engine must not use or read
any diagnostic tool while the vehicle/vessel is moving.
The vehicle operator must maintain control of the vehicle while an assistant performs the
diagnostic evaluations.
2.12 PAINT
NOTICE:
Do not apply paint to the ECM or EEC. The application of paint
may affect the performance of the ECM and EEC.
Mask off the ECM and EEC, prior to applying any paint.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.13 FLUOROELASTOMER
Fluoroelastomer (Viton®) parts such as O-rings and seals are perfectly safe to handle under
normal design conditions.
CHEMICAL BURNS
To avoid injury from chemical burns, wear a face shield and
neoprene or PVC gloves when handling fluoroelastomer
O-rings or seals that have been degraded by excessive heat.
Discard gloves after handling degraded fluoroelastomer
parts.
A potential hazard may occur if these components are raised to a temperature above 600 F (316 C)
(in a fire for example). Fluoroelastomer will decompose (indicated by charring or the appearance
of a black, sticky mass) and produce hydrofluoric acid. This acid is extremely corrosive and, if
touched by bare skin, may cause severe burns (the symptoms could be delayed for several hours).

3 ORDERING AND INSTALLATION
Electronic Engine Commander (EEC) may be used in conjunction with DDEC Engine Speed
Cruise Control or Pressure Sensor Governor (PSG) to provide governor control, display engine
data, and provide pertinent information relative to the system. The proper DDEC hardware and
software must be configured and the EEC properly installed to operate the engine commander.
EEC supports DDEC III and IV in hazardous environments. EEC may be used with DDEC V in
This section is written for those familiar with hazardous environment applications. It is the
responsibility of the installer to procure the standards that are discussed in this section in order to
ensure their compliance with the appropriate standard.
3.1 ORDERING EEC

3.2 APPLICATION CODE SYSTEM

In order for the EEC engine control functions to work properly, several digital input and output
functions must be assigned to specific pin locations. Detroit Diesel has a system that assigns
application related DDEC parameters when the engine is ordered. This system is called the
Detroit Diesel Application Code System (ACS). The ACS includes all application related DDEC
parameters. The Application Engineering department has developed the list of parameters
and default values that are selected by Product Distribution for each application group. It is
important that the appropriate Application Code (i.e. 06N04C group) be selected at order
entry to ensure proper operation of the EEC. Engine Speed Cruise Control does not require a
unique application code but it is recommended as a convenient way of ensuring proper digital
input/output configuration at the time of engine order. The optional PSG is also enabled by
selecting the appropriate Application Code (i.e. 06N04C group) at order entry or through Detroit
Diesel Technical Support.
3.2.1 DIGITAL INPUTS
DDEC III/IV ECUs each have 12 digital input ports on the Vehicle Interface Harness (VIH).
These digital inputs can be configured for various functions.
DDEC V ECUs have 24 inputs on the Vehicle Interface Harness (VIH), 18 of these can be used
for digital inputs. These inputs can be configured for various functions.
3.2.2 DIGITAL OUTPUTS
DDEC III/IV ECUs each have three digital output ports on the VIH (circuits 499, 555, 988) and
three digital output ports which may be accessed on a pigtail off the Engine Sensor Harness
(circuits 563, 564, 565). The DDEC V ECU has eight digital output ports on the VIH.

4 ELECTRONIC ENGINE COMMANDER OPERATION
The Detroit Diesel Electronic Engine Commander (EEC) is designed to support Detroit Diesel
Electronic Control (DDEC) III, IV, and V engines in the construction and industrial market.
It combines the DDEC engine speed control, Pressure Sensor Governor (PSG), and a panel
display for vital engine operating parameters and diagnostics into one compact, durable package
(see Figure 4-1). This unit is also compliant with hazardous environment requirements.
Figure 4-1 Electronic Engine Commander

ELECTRONIC ENGINE COMMANDER OPERATION
4.1 OPERATING MODES

The Electronic Engine Commander has two modes of operation:
Engine Speed Cruise Control Mode only controls engine speed to a desired RPM.
Pressure Mode (optional PSG) controls engine speed to maintain a desired discharge
manifold pressure.
If the optional PSG is used, the operating modes are selectable and may be changed by pressing
the MODE button (see Figure 4-2) providing the appropriate interlocks have been met. The
engine will continue to run at the same speed when the mode switch is toggled between the
RPM and Pressure modes.
Figure 4-2 Governor Control Section of the Electronic Engine Commander
The maximum preset pressure for EEC is 200 psi (1379 kPa).

4.1.1 ENGINE SPEED CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Use the following procedure to operate in RPM Mode:

1. Start the engine and check that EEC is on.
2. Activate the interlocks necessary for operation in RPM mode. Activation of the
interlocks will result in +12/24 volts on wire TWO/OEM Interlock and illumination of
the THROTTLE READY light.
3. Check that the THROTTLE READY and RPM lights are illuminated indicating the
system is in RPM Mode. Engine speed may be adjusted using the following buttons as
NOTE:
Engine Speed Cruise Control Mode does not honor VSG Max RPM.
Button Action
PRESET Press the button to command the engine to go to the preset speed.
Press the button to increase engine speed in 25 RPM increments each time
the button is pressed.
INC
Press and hold the button to increase the speed at a faster rate equivalent
to two (2) increments per second.
Press the button to decrease engine speed in 25 RPM increments.
DEC Press and hold the button to decrease the speed at a faster rate equivalent
to two (2) increments per second.
IDLE Press the button to return the engine immediately to the normal idle speed.
Table 4-1 Buttons Used to Adjust Engine Speed
RPM mode is enabled by providing voltage to wire TWO/OEM Interlock which in turn grounds
EEC output wire FIVE/Cruise Enable.
Limiting Speed Governor
The Limiting Speed governor (LSG) is an optional governor. LSG operation determines the
amount of engine fueling required based on engine speed and throttle input. An engine configured
for Engine Speed Cruise Control may also operate in LSG Mode. The Electronic Foot Pedal
Assembly (EFPA) provides throttle input for engine operation in LSG Mode.
The EFPA remains active while operating in Engine Speed Cruise Control unless the digital
input Throttle Inhibit is configured and enabled by switching the input to battery ground. If
Throttle Inhibit is inactive, LSG may override the pressure governor if it is requesting greater
power than the PSG.

Variable Speed Governor
The Variable Speed Governor (VSG) is an optional governor. VSG converts its throttle input
(analog voltage or frequency) to a VSG set speed between idle and rated speed. VSG determines
the engine speed error and varies engine fueling to maintain the desired set speed. VSG may
override the EEC if it is requesting greater power then the EEC. To prevent this, VSG Inhibit
must be used.
4.1.2 PRESSURE MODE (OPTIONAL PSG)
Use the following procedure to operate in Pressure Mode:

1. Start the engine and check that EEC is on.
2. Activate the interlocks necessary for operation in Pressure mode. Activation of the
interlocks will result in +12/24 volts on both wire TWO/OEM Interlock and wire
TEN/Pump Engaged.
3. Check that the PUMP ENGAGED, OKAY TO PUMP, and THROTTLE READY lights
are illuminated.
4. Check that the pressure lamp is illuminated, press MODE if needed.
5. Pump discharge pressure can now be adjusted with the following buttons as listed in
Table 4-2.
Button Action
Press the button to command the engine to approximate the preset pump
PRESET
pressure.
Press the button to increases discharge pressure in 4 PSI (25.6 kPa)
increments each time the button is pressed.
INC
Press and hold the button to increase the pressure at a faster rate
equivalent to two (2) increments per second.
Press the button to decrease pressure in 4 PSI (25.6 kPa) increments.
DEC Press and hold the button to decrease the pressure at a faster rate
equivalent to two (2) increments per second.
IDLE Press the button to return the engine immediately to the normal idle speed.
Table 4-2 Buttons Used to Set Pressure Mode
Pressure mode is enabled once +12/24 volts has been provided to EEC wire TWO/OEM Interlock
and EEC wire TEN/PTO Engaged. Pressure Mode may be selected by pressing the MODE button
which provides ground to the DDEC digital input "Pressure/RPM."
Pressure Mode Features
The maximum allowable increase above the RPM at which the pressure set point was established
is 400 RPM. The initial set point must be changed to increase the engine speed more than 400
RPM. This protects the operator from a pressure surge which may result from a momentary loss
of pressure if the maximum allowable increase in engine speed is not limited. Also, the maximum
allowable increase in engine speed protects the pump from cavitation.

If the preset value is not attained after a short time, the EEC will stop trying to increase the
selected parameter (pressure or engine speed) and will maintain the requested mode and the last
value for that parameter prior to the time out.
The Pressure Mode is maintained until one of the following situations occurs:
Situation 1 - The Pressure/RPM Mode switch is moved to the RPM Mode. The system reverts to
RPM Mode and the same engine speed is maintained.
Situation 2 - The Pressure Sensor signal exceeds diagnostic limits. The system reverts to RPM
Mode and the RPM light is illuminated. The same engine speed is maintained. EEC will display a
Check Engine text message and a diagnostic code in the Information Center and sound an OEM
provided alarm. The Check Engine Light (CEL) on the dashboard illuminates, and the DDEC
ECU logs a Code 86 or 87 into the ECU memory.
Situation 3 - If the water pump discharge pressure falls below 40 psi (276 kPa) and the engine
RPM rises a minimum of 400 rpm above the current set point for more than five (5) seconds, the
system also considers cavitation to have occurred and the following happens:
The engine will return to idle.
The current engine speed and discharge pressure set points will be cleared.
The CEL will illuminate and a cavitation will be logged.
4.2 ENGINE PARAMETER DISPLAY

RPM, Oil Pressure, Oil or Coolant Temperature, and ECU Voltage are displayed continuously in
the Engine Data section of the EEC (see Figure 4-3).
Figure 4-3 EEC Engine Data Section

Messages and any known diagnostic code accompanying a Check Engine or Stop Engine
condition will be displayed on the Information Center message display (see Figure 4-4). The
external alarm output will also be activated when the engine is running.
The Information Center displays the following messages listed in Table 4-3.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING
The following sections and items must be read and thoroughly understood before using this
section of the manual.
1. The engine and ignition should always be OFF before the wires are disconnected or
reconnected.
2. After the wires are reconnected to the system, the codes logged should be ignored and
cleared.
3. In diagnosing an intermittent problem, wiggling wires may allow the fault to be repeated.
This may allow a technician to better isolate the problem area.

TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS

Anyone preforming the troubleshooting procedures in this manual should understand the theory
of electricity and know the meaning of voltage and ohms. An understanding of what happens in a
circuit with an open or shorted wire and the ability to read and understand a wiring diagram is a
necessity. The ability to use jumper wire to make circuit checks is also required.
5.1.1 USE OF DIGITAL VOLT-OHM METER
Familiarity with the digital volt-ohm meter (DVOM), the controls of the meter and how to use it
correctly to measure voltage and resistance is a troubleshooting requirement.
Resistance Measurements
Perform the following steps to measure resistance:

1. Connect the red test lead to the V- (Volt-Ohm) input connector and the black lead
to the com input connector on the meter.
2. Set the function/range switch to the desired position. If the magnitude of the resistance
is not known, set the switch to the highest range, then reduce until a satisfactory reading is
obtained.
3. If the resistance being measured is connected to a circuit, turn off the power to the circuit
being tested. Turn off the ignition.
4. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured. When measuring high resistance, be
careful not to contact adjacent points, even if they are insulated. Some insulators have a
relatively low insulation resistance which can affect the resulting measurement.
5. Read the resistance value on the digital display.
Continuity Checks
In addition to measuring the specific resistance value of a circuit, some meters will also register if
a continuous electrical path exists. If a path exists, the circuit is said to have continuity. (This
continuity check can be used in any section of this troubleshooting guide where the test is looking
for greater than, less than, or equal to 5 ohms.) An open circuit (broken electrical path) would have
∞ resistance and would not have continuity. To utilize the continuity feature of certain meters:
1. Place the function/range switch in any range.
2. Connect the red lead to the V- connector and the black lead to the com connector on the
meter. With the test leads separated or measuring an out-of-range resistance, the digital
display will indicate OL (over limit) Some meters show "1 +, 1, or ↑."
3. Put one test probe at one end of the wire or circuit to be tested. Use the other test lead
to trace the circuit. When continuity is established, an symbol will display in the
upper left corner of the digital display. If contact in the wire is maintained long enough

(about 1/4 second), the OL will disappear and the resistance value of the wire or circuit
will display next to the symbol.
4. If your DVOM does not work in the manner described above, you must know how your
DVOM operates in order to use this troubleshooting guide.
Voltage Measurements
Perform the following steps to measure voltage.

1. Connect the red test lead to the V- connector and the black lead to the com input on the
meter. If a DC-AC switch is present, ensure it is switched to the DC position.
2. Set the function range/switch to the desired volts position. If the magnitude of the voltage
is not known, set the switch to a range that will be able to read most voltages seen on
a vehicle. Typically, a 20V range will do. Then, reduce the range until a satisfactory
reading is obtained.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured. In the DDEC system diagnostic
procedures, voltage measurements are always given as being taken at pins, sockets, battery
+, or ground. Following the voltage measurement point, the color test lead to be used
is given in parenthesis (red is the V- connection, and black is the com connection).
Example: If the procedure says, "Take voltage reading at socket A3 (red lead) to socket
C3 (black lead)", see Figure 5-1 for the hook-up.

Voltage Rating The maximum voltage which a connector can sustain

without breaking down or varying from design
specifications.
Warning Alerts the driver by illuminating the yellow check engine

light, and then the red stop engine light.
Wire Insulation Diameter The outside diameter of the insulation on an insulated

wire.
Wire Range The sizes of wire conductors accommodated by a

particular contact.
Wire Sealing Grommet A resilient disc with holes in it to accommodate the

individual wires entering the rear of the connector. Each
cavity forms a tight seal against the wire insulation (when

GLOSSARY
wires within the specified diameter are used). The

grommet seats the back of the connector against moisture,
dirt, and air. The grommet is normally held in place and
compressed by an endbell and or ferrule.
Wire Size A numerical designation for conductor diameter. This

manual uses American Wire Gauge which is based on the
approximate circular mil area of the wire.
