Work Instructions

Subject: Freightliner Business Class M2 Engine Harness Clearance

Models Affected: Specific Model Year 2017-2021 Freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles manufactured February 18, 2016, through July 31, 2020, and equipped with a Detroit Diesel DD5 engine.

 

DD5 Engine Harness Repair – FL858A% and FL858C

1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL858 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been done. The base label is usually located on the passenger-side door, about 12 inches (30 cm) below the door latch. If a completion sticker is present, no work is needed. If a completion sticker is not present, continue with the next step.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.

3. Open the hood.

4. Disconnect the battery negative cable.

5. Remove the left bumper end cap by removing the fasteners.

6. Remove the left front quarter fender. Using a suitable tether (rope, bungee, tie strap, etc.), support the Power Train Power Distribution Module (PTPDM) and main Power Distribution Module (PDM) bracket to the front wall hood support in order to prevent damage to harness or connecters.

7. Cut open the tie straps that secure the DD5 engine harness to access the complete harness for inspection of the key chaffing points. The key chaffing points include air compressor-mounted bracket and discharge line, fuel lines, transmission dip stick tube, and at the cab frontwall-mounted bracket on the innermost edge of the left frontwall. See Fig. 1.

 

8. At the key chaffing points, inspect the engine harness for damage. Pull the harness away from the brackets, using a mirror as needed. See Fig. 2.

 

NOTE: Wiring harnesses are considered damaged when chaffing has worn through the harness fiber wrap and the wire insulation resulting in exposed strands of copper wire.

 

9. If damage to the wiring is found, cut and unwrap the harness wrap in the damaged area to determine the extent of damage.

  • If five or fewer wires (approximately 30% or less) in the harness are damaged, the harness can be repaired.
  • If more than five wires in the harness are damaged, the harness must be replaced. (Less than 1% of vehicles are expected to need the harness replaced.)

 

IMPORTANT: It is expected that there will be a low occurrence of harness replacements. When needed, use PartsPro® (Module 487) or EZWiring(found under “Vehicle Information”/”Location search”/ and once the S/N is entered, select “Commodity Harness” under the “System Options”) to locate the correct VIN specific engine harness. For assistance in engine harness replacement, submit a WSC ticket to Warranty Campaigns.

 

10. Repair damaged wiring as follows.

 

NOTE: Additional harness clipping points and harness connectors may need to be removed to provide access to the harness for repair.

 

10.1 Locate the damaged area and carefully cut open the fiber wrap using a sewing seam ripper tool. See Fig. 3.

 

10.2 Flip the seam ripper tool over so that the blunt end is facing wiring, then cut enough length to allow the fiber to be unwrapped. See Fig. 4.

 

10.3 Unwrap the fiber until a sufficient area is exposed to make the repair, then cut out the damaged section of the wire. See Fig. 5.

 

10.4 Inspect the harness and ensure there is enough wire slack to install the Phillips STA-DRY® connector. See Table 3 for correct size of Phillips STA-DRY®.

 

Phillips STA-DRY Crimp and Solder Connectors Parts
Wire Size: Gauge (mm) Connector Part Number* Shrinkable Tubing (Daimler Part Number)
20 to 18 (0.5 to 0.8) PHM 1 1863 1/4 inch with internal adhesive -coating-(48 02461 025)
16 to 14 (1 to 2) PHM 1 1862 1/4 inch with internal adhesive coating (48-02461-025)

Table 3, Phillips STA-DRY Crimp and Solder Connectors Parts

 

10.5 If the wire does not have enough slack to install the Phillips STA-DRY® connector, add a new section of overlay wire using two Phillips STA-DRY® connectors. If an overlay wire is necessary, remove the fiber to allow for a splice into the damaged wire and make sure the wire is the same gauge and quality as the wire being repaired. See Fig. 6.

 

10.6 Crimp the Phillips STA-DRY® connector on the repaired wires as required using toolDKIOCHA17003-2 or similar. Use a heat gun to apply the solder and heat shrink the Phillips STA-DRY® connectors. See Fig. 7.

 

IMPORTANT: No more than five wires on the engine harness should be repaired. This includes up to five sections of overlay wires. Multiple wire repairs should be staggered using varying length overlay wires in order to maintain the overall engine harness size.

 

10.7 Wrap the entire length of the repaired area with new fiber wrap tape (48-25910-000). Make sure enough tape is used to overlap the starting point.

10.8 Secure both ends of the fiber wrap with electrical tape. Install the clipping points and connectors removed for the repair.

 

11. Wrap the harness at the key chaff points with severe duty harness wrap (TwistTube®) for added protection.

12. Add the TwistTube® to the engine harness at the air compressor bracket area following the measurements shown in Fig. 8. The horizontal section of the harness must be 3.5 inches (90 mm) ahead of the vertical section, and 4.3 inches (110 mm) behind the vertical section (total of 7.8 inches (200 mm) TwistTube for horizontal section). The vertical section must be at 11.8 inches (300 mm) from horizontal section. See Fig. 9. Secure the loose ends of the TwistTube with electrical tape or tie straps.

 

13. Add yellow marking tape at the two key spots (3.9 inches (100 mm) on the horizontal and 5.1 inches (130 mm) on the vertical section) to identify the clipping point so the harness will be properly secured to prevent further chaffing. See Fig. 8 and Fig. 10.

 

14. Install two new standoff brackets at the left rear of the engine, replacing the existing fuel line standoff bracket with 23-13514-020 and adding bracket (23-09130-042). Use screw (23-13345-020) to mount both the brackets on the engine housing. See Fig. 11 for correct location and orientation of the bracket.

 

15. Using the tiestraps, secure the harness at the clipping points on the air compressor-mounted bracket, starting at the marked positions on the harness identified with the yellow tape. Add additional TwistTube® at any potential chaff points and use additional tie straps as needed to secure the harness.

16. Install the clamps (23-11357-016) to secure the engine harness to both of the new standoff brackets at the rear of the engine, and mount the clamps using the nut (23-13861-104), screw (23-09432-075), and two washers (23-10900-025). See Fig. 12.

 

17. Install and secure the 5.9 inches (150 mm) of TwistTube to the engine harness at the clipping point of the cab frontwall mounted bracket and on the innermost edge of the left frontwall and secure the harness to the bracket using tie straps. See Fig. 13.

 

18. Install the fuel lines on the bracket at the rear of the engine using the original clamp and fasteners. Install the front fuel line clamp and the transmission dip stick tube clamp using the original clamps and fasteners.

 

19. Install the left bumper end cap and install the fasteners.

20. Install the left quarter fender and attach the bracket for the main PDM and PTPDM.

21. Connect the battery negative cable.

22. Start and run the vehicle for a minute to verify the repair.

23. Close the hood.

24. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259), write the recall number, FL858, on a red completion sticker(Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label, indicating this work has been completed.
