The document discusses the Detroit Diesel Electronic Control system (DDEC) which controls fuel injection and other engine functions through electronic sensors and modules.

DDEC stands for Detroit Diesel Electronic Control. It controls fuel injection timing, output, throttle, gas valve and ignition on Series 60 engines using electronic unit injectors and sensors to optimize power, fuel economy and emissions.

The document mentions DDEC I, DDEC II, DDEC III/IV, and DDEC V as the different generations of the DDEC electronic control system used on Series 60 engines over time.

SERIES 60 SERVICE MANUAL

2.15 ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL

The Detroit Diesel Electronic Control System (DDEC) controls fuel injection timing and output
by the electronic unit injectors (EUI) on the Series 60 Diesel engine. DDEC controls throttle, gas
valve and the ignition system on the Series 60G engine. The system also monitors several engine
functions using electrical sensors which send electrical signals to the Electronic Control Module
(ECM). The ECM then computes the incoming data and determines the correct fuel output and
timing for optimum power, fuel economy and emissions. The ECM also has the ability to display
warnings or shut down the engine completely (depending on option selection) in the case of
damaging engine conditions, such as low oil pressure, low coolant, or high oil temperature.
Early Series 60 engines have the DDEC system called DDEC I. Later Series 60 engines have the
2nd generation DDEC system called DDEC II. See Figure 2-78. The current engines have the
third generation DDEC system, DDEC III/IV.
Series 60 2004 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) engines will use the fifth generation of the
DDEC system, DDEC V® Electronic Control Unit. See Figure 2-78a.
The replacement of DDEC components is based on indicated diagnostic codes leading to faulty
components. Check the Detroit Diesel Single ECM Troubleshooting Manual (6SE497) for more
complete information on diagnosis of components and system problems.

2.16 DDEC III/IV ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE

2.16 DDEC III/IV ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE

DDEC III/IV provides an indication of engine and vehicle malfunctions. The ECM continually
monitors the DDEC III/IV system. See Figure 2-79 and see Figure 2-80.
