Engine Control Module Programming and Setup with RPO LLY

The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event performed for a complete repair.

ECM Replacement

If the engine control module (ECM) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed:

       Important: The option data must be captured before powering down the ECM, and must be restored before performing the ECM reprogramming procedure.

    • Capture and restore the Option Data.

       Important: DTC P0606 may set during SPS Programming. Clear the DTC after completing these procedures.

    • The ECM Reprogramming--Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .
    • The Turbocharger Learn Procedure--Refer to Turbocharger Learn as applicable.
    • The Fuel Injector Flow Rate Programming--Refer to Fuel Injector Flow Rate Programming or Fuel Injector Flow Rate Programming .
    • Speed Calibration Programming-Refer to Speed Calibration Programming .
    • Engine Oil Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
    • Transmission Fluid Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Transmission Fluid Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
    • Fuel Filter Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Fuel Filter Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.

ECM Reprogramming

    • If the engine control module (ECM) needs to be reprogrammed, refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .
    • Engine Oil Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
    • Transmission Fluid Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Transmission Fluid Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
    • Fuel Filter Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Fuel Filter Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.

Setup for Component Replacement

The replacement of some components will require a setup procedure for complete repair.

If any of the following components are replaced, a Turbocharger Learn Procedure must be performed.

    • Turbocharger
    • Turbocharger Vane Position Sensor.
    • Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve

If any of the following components are replaced, the Fuel Injector Flow Rate Programming procedure must be performed.

    • One or more fuel injectors.
    • The glow plug control module (GPCM)
