Summary
Field Service Campaign for reprogramming and engine label replacement on DD13 engines for certain MCI
vehicles
FIELD SERVICE CAMPAIGN
BULLETIN
Subject: Field Service Campaign D18M2 – REVISION 1
GHG17 Detroit™ DD13® Software Reprogramming and Emission
Label Replacement for Motor Coach Industries
, Inc. (MCI®)
Issue Involved
Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) has determined that some certified GHG17
Detroit™ DD13® engines installed in MCI
® vehicles will require reprogramming to
the required software and fuel map part numbers listed below.
• Engine serial number 471941S0547132 and lower:
o MCM software 6.6.0.1 with fuel map part number:
410/1450 rating A0614487235 ZGS 001
450/1550 rating A0494480635 ZGS 003
o ACM software 7.58.2.0 with fuel map part number A0194487054 ZGS
001
• Engine serial number 471941S0547134 and higher:
o MCM software 6.6.0.1 with fuel map part number:
410/1450 rating A0364489535 ZGS 003
450/1550 rating A0494484035 ZGS 003
o ACM software 7.58.2.0 with fuel map part number A0194486954 ZGS
001
• CPC software R40_00_000A
Some of these units may also need their exempt emission label replaced with a
certified emission label.
Updated programming and certified emission labels became effective for GHG17
DD13® engines manufactured after August 29, 2018. GHG17 DD13® engines
manufactured before August 29, 2018, need the MCM, ACM, and CPC
reprogrammed, and some may also need installation of a certified emission label.
Note that some engines may already be reprogrammed and have a certified
emission label installed. These engines will be excluded from this Field Service
Campaign.
Field Service Campaign Bulletin D18M2

Reprogramming and emission label replacement corrects various fault code issues
such as “SPN: 1636, FMI: 16 – CAC Efficiency Low”, “SPN: 2659, FMI: 0 – EGR
Flow Target Error”, and “SPN: 520372, FMI: 16 – SCR Closed Loop Control At
Maximum Limit.”
There are approximately 459 engines affected by this Field Service Campaign.

1. Log onto the DDCSN.com order center using your DTNA Connect ID and
password.
DDCSN Order Center - Clean Idle
2. Click the “+” next to “Add a Clean Idle / Emission / Other Label. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 – Emission Label Order Process
3. Use the item drop down and select “MCI
Campaign Label”. See Figure 2.

Figure 2 – Emission Label Order Process
Field Service Campaign Bulletin D18M2
Page Four
4. Complete the “VIN” and “Original ESN” fields and select “Insert Item”. See
Figure 3.
Figure 3 – Emission Label Order Process
5. Click “Next” to complete the ordering process. Once your request is
submitted in the Order Center, you will receive an email confirmation.
Submitting follow-up requests will create a duplicate case. Please call the
Detroit™ Customer Support Center CSC at 800-445-1980 or email
[email protected] if you need to follow-up.
Corrective Procedure
1. Apply the parking brake, chock the wheels, and perform any other applicable
safety steps.
2. You MUST use DiagnosticLink® Professional 8.08 with Service Pack 3 (or higher)
when reprogramming. REFERENCE Detroit Customer Service Announcement
letter 18 CSA-18 for more information on DiagnosticLink® 8.08 with Service Pack
3.
3. Begin the process by connecting DiagnosticLink® to the vehicle. Make sure that
all the modules (ACM, CPC, and MCM) are connected.
Field Service Campaign Bulletin D18M2
Page Five
NOTICE:
BEFORE you begin reprogramming, make sure the VIN is correct in all
modules (ACM, CPC, and MCM). If the VIN is not correct in all modules, you
will get an error message when attempting to reprogram.
4. Make sure the VIN is correct in all modules (ACM, CPC, and MCM) by looking at
the “Identification” screen in DiagnosticLink®. If the VIN is not correct in all
modules, you can correct the VIN under the Actions drop-down menu in
DiagnosticLink® by selecting the “Check VIN Synchronization” item. Select “Start”
from this panel and follow the prompts. You will be prompted to cycle the key
until the routine has completed. When synchronization is complete, turn the key
back on and continue with the download process.
Field Service Campaign Bulletin D18M2

5. On the Identification screen, check the current MCM and ACM software and fuel
map part numbers. Listed below are the numbers required. See Figure 4 for an
example of the Identification screen.
a. Engine serial number 471941S0547132 and lower:
i. MCM software 6.6.0.1 with fuel map part number:
1. 410/1450 rating A0614487235 ZGS 001
2. 450/1550 rating A0494480635 ZGS 003
ii. ACM software 7.58.2.0 with fuel map part number
A0194487054 ZGS 001
b. Engine serial number 471941S0547134 and higher:
i. MCM software 6.6.0.1 with fuel map part number:
1. 410/1450 rating A0364489535 ZGS 003
2. 450/1550 rating A0494484035 ZGS 003
ii. ACM software 7.58.2.0 with fuel map part number
A0194486954 ZGS 001
c. CPC software R40_00_000A
Figure 4 – DiagnosticLink® Identification Screen
Field Service Campaign Bulletin D18M2
Page Seven
6. Is the software level for all modules less than, equal to, or higher than the
software levels listed in step 5? For example in Figure 4, MCM software
6.5.0.2 and ACM software 7.57.2.0 are both less than 6.6.0.1 and 7.58.2.0,
and thus would require programming regardless of fuel map part number.
a. If less than the required software levels, proceed to step 8.
b. If equal to the required software levels, proceed to step 7.
c. If greater than the required software levels, no programming is necessary.
Proceed to step 13.
Field Service Campaign Bulletin D18M2
Page Eight
7. Are the fuel map part numbers for the MCM and ACM equal to the fuel map
part numbers listed in step 5? For example in Figure 5, the MCM software
meets the necessary requirement of 6.6.0.1, but the fuel map part number
does not match the numbers in step 5, and thus would require programming.
Note that any fuel map part number ZGS level in the MCM or ACM that
starts with the number 9 will require reprogramming.
a. If No, proceed to step 8.
b. If Yes, no programming is necessary. Proceed to step 13.
Figure 5 – DiagnosticLink® Identification Screen
8. Select the “Program Device” option along the left side of the DiagnosticLink®
screen.

Page Nine
9. Select the “Add” button in the upper right corner of the DiagnosticLink® screen
and enter the engine serial number. Then click the “Connect to Server” button in
the bottom right corner of the DiagnosticLink® screen. See Figure 6.
Figure 6 – Adding Engine Serial Number And Connecting To Server
10. Program the MCM, ACM, and CPC, based on the above inspection results and
engine serial number listing included with this Field Service Campaign.
11. When programming is complete, click the “Finish” button and perform the
following to allow the modules to synchronize with each other:
a) Turn the vehicle ignition OFF, disconnect the USB Link at either the
computer port or vehicle diagnostic port, and wait one minute.
b) Turn the vehicle ignition ON and wait one minute.
c) Turn the vehicle ignition OFF and wait one minute.
d) Turn the vehicle ignition ON and wait one minute.
e) Reconnect the USB Link, reconnect DiagnosticLink® to the MCM, ACM,
CPC, and confirm the proper software and fuel map levels.

12. Update the server by clicking the “Connect to Server” button in the bottom right
corner of the DiagnosticLink® screen.
NOTICE:
CHECK with the customer to see if Auto Elevate can be enabled. Auto
Elevate can prevent Aftertreatment System (ATS) issues.
13. Ask the customer if they would like Auto Elevate activated. REFERENCE Detroit
Technical Service letter 16 TS-18 for full details on Auto Elevate.
14. Remove and replace the exempt emission label from the engine rocker cover
based on the engine serial number listing included with this Field Service
Campaign. Note that the old label is designed to come off in pieces upon removal
from the engine. See Figure 6 for an example of an exempt emission label.
