Section 1
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
1.
Sections 2 (Basic Knowledge Required) and 3 (Testing the DDEC III System) should be read and understood
completely.
2.
If basic mechanical checks have been made, no trouble was found, and the problem is now believed to be in
the DDEC III System, turn to Section 4 - Troubleshooting Charts. Always start with the first Chart (labeled START)
on Page 3-345.41. If a Diagnostic Data Reader (DDR) is not available, the chart labeled CEL (Check Engine Light)
can be used.
3.
Use the charts to pinpoint the problem and perform repairs. The charts are in a three-column format. The first
column lists the test steps to perform and in what sequence to perform them. The second column gives the list of
possible results you may obtain, based on the steps performed. The third column indicates what to do next, based
on your results.

by running the engine and checking if the codes and/or symptoms have returned).
