Actuator Check

Check as follows:‪

  1. Disconnect the exhaust flap actuator.
  2. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
  3. Check the actuator supply voltage.
  4. Measure the voltage between pins 1 and 2 of the exhaust flap actuator harness connector.
    1. If the voltage is less than 11 volts, repair the cause of the low voltage. Refer to "50.5.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
    2. If the voltage is greater than 11 volts, go to the next step.
  5. Turn the ignition OFF.
  6. Disconnect the MCM 120–pin connector.
  7. Measure the resistance between pin 3 of the exhaust flap actuator harness connector and pin 74 of the MCM 120–pin connector.
    1. If the resistance is greater than 3 Ω, repair the open circuit between pin 3 of the exhaust flap actuator harness connector and pin 74 of the MCM 120–pin connector. Refer to "50.5.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
    2. If the resistance is less than 3 Ω, go to the next step.
  8. Measure the resistance between pin 4 of the exhaust flap actuator harness connector and pin 75 of the MCM 120–pin connector.
    1. If the resistance is greater than 3 Ω, repair the open circuit between pin 4 of the exhaust flap actuator harness connector and pin 75 of the MCM 120–pin connector. Refer to "50.5.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
    2. If the resistance is less than 3 Ω, replace the exhaust flap actuator. Refer to "50.5.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
Section 50.5.1.1
Verify Repairs

Verify repairs as follows:‪

  1. Turn ignition OFF.
  2. Reconnect any electrical connections that were disconnected to perform the diagnosis.
  3. Clear codes with DDDL 7.0 or latest version.
  4. Start and bring engine up to operating temperature (over 140°F/60°C).
  5. Verify operation is satisfactory and no warning lamps illuminate. If warning lamps illuminate, troubleshoot the codes. If assistance is required, call the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center at 313–592–5800.
