5. Handling of Dealership Inventory
Under 40 Code of Federal Regulations § 1068.101, a dealer cannot
sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate
commerce a new motor vehicle when it is aware that the vehicle does
not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety. A civil penalty of
up to $44,539 may be assessed for each engine or piece of equipment
in violation. In addition, 49 Code of Federal Regulations §577.13
requires us to provide the following advisory: It is a violation of
Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or
used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by
this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or
noncompliance is remedied.
We request your assistance to ensure involved vehicles are identified
and not delivered prior to performing the remedy.
OVERVIEW:

Software updates are required for the Engine ECU (Engine
Control Unit) and DCU (Dosing Control Unit) modules. These
updates are intended to address the following items.

P24A0)
2) SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) Feedback Monitor
(P2BAE)
3) Urea SCR Tank Heater Valve Stuck Open Monitor (P20B2)
4) MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) ON Software issue
for DCU; OBD (On Board Diagnostics) improvement

Hino is using this opportunity to implement OBD improvement
items (which are not by themselves recall items) that are included
in all affected engines.

• DPF Over Temperature Monitor (P200C)
• All Cylinder Misfire Detection Monitor (P0300)
• Misfire Monitor: (P0301-P0306)
• DOC1 (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) Over Temperature Monitor
(P2428)
• Reductant Temperature “Too High” Monitor (P24FF)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
• Read and understand all instructions and procedures before you begin
the work.
• Read and follow all NOTICES, WARNINGS, and CAUTIONS set forth
in this publication. These alerts help to avoid damage to components,
serious personal injury, or both.
• Park the vehicle on a level and solid surface and apply the parking
brake.
• Confirm the engine is stopped, the starter switch is in the off (LOCK)
position, and the key is removed.
• Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injuries.
• Place wheel chocks in front of and behind all wheels.
•
•

NOTICE: Before beginning these procedures, you MUST install a
battery charger on the vehicle to ensure battery power does not go low
during reprogramming.
NOTICE: Before beginning these procedures, you also MUST be
certain that the laptop battery is fully charged, or a remote AC power
supply is connected to the laptop to ensure the battery power does not
go low during reprogramming.

VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level and solid surface.

2. Confirm the engine is stopped, the ignition switch is in the off (LOCK)
position, and the key is removed.

3. Apply the parking brake.

4. Chock all of the wheels.

DCU & ECU REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Two modules will be reprogrammed during this procedure. A
battery charger MUST be installed on the vehicle to ensure battery power
does not go low during reprogramming or damage to these modules may
occur. Do not begin this procedure until you install the battery charger.

1. Prepare a DXII compatible interface, such as the Denso DST-i or the

Nexiq USB Link 2 to perform this reprogramming procedure.
To assemble the interface cable, perform the following steps.
(1) Connect the DLC (Diagnostic Link Connector) cable to the interface.
(2) Connect the USB Cable to the interface.
(3) Connect the USB connector to the USB port on your computer.

2. Connect the DLC cable to the vehicle’s DLC connector. The DLC

connector is found under the dash on the left side of the steering column.

3. On your computer, locate the “Hino DX2” icon and open it.

4. Hino DX2 will prompt you for a “User ID” and “Password”. Enter your

User ID, and password and then select the “Login” icon. Verify that the DX2
has software version 1.1.19.10 or later.

5. Insert the ignition key into the starter switch and turn the key to the

“ON” position.

6. Select the “Reprogramming” icon.

7. Select “600 Series” under the “Vehicle Classification” drop down menu.

8. Select “DCU (Doser)” under the “System Classification” drop
down menu and then select the “OK” icon.
9. Follow the prompts to update the DCU to the latest software
level using the Hino Diagnostic eXplorer II (Hino DX2). Refer to
the following table for the appropriate software part number or
higher for the application.

Proceed to the Final Inspection Procedure, below.

CALIFORNIA VEHICLES ONLY:
When an Emissions Recall is performed by a California Dealer a “Proof of
Correction” certificate must be completed and provided to the vehicle
owner to submit to the California Department of Motor Vehicles if requested
during vehicle registration. If the “Proof of Correction” certificate is not
provided, an owner may not be able to renew the vehicle registration. If not
requested by the DMV, the form should be retained for the Owner’s
records. A downloadable form can be found on Hinonet/ Service/ Print
Forms under the description “Proof of Correction”.

FINAL INSPECTION:
•
