Section 2.7.2
DDEC Electronic Control Unit Installation

Install the DDEC-ECU Control Unit as follows:‪

1. Position the spacers, DDEC-ECU control unit, and mounting bolts on the cylinder block, as removed.
2. Install the DDEC-ECU control unit on the cylinder block. Tighten the mounting bolts to 15 N·m (11 lb·ft).
3. Install the fuel heat exchanger on the DDEC-ECU and tighten the mounting bolts to 8 N·m (6 lb·ft).
4. Connect the vehicle wiring harness to the DDEC-ECU. Pull down on the locking unit to lock it in place.
5. Connect the engine wiring harness to the DDEC-ECU. Rotate the safety latch upward to lock it in place.
6. If a new DDEC-ECU control unit was installed, transfer the customer parameter list to it, using minidiag2.
7. Connect the batteries.

   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.

8. Close the hood. Then check for normal operation.
