LOGIC CODES (MECHANICAL FAILURES)

Logic codes indicate the detection of mechanical failures by the DDEC system. The response will be a Flash Code.

Diagnosing Flash Code 39

Failure Mode: SID 146, FMI 7 — EGR Valve Not Responding
Indicates: EGR flow requested by DDEC and no EGR flow detected.

SID 146, FMI 7 will be set by the ECM if, the signal from the Delta P sensor and EGR temperature sensor indicate EGR flow is below a minimum allowable flow when the ECM is in “EGR Mode” for a period greater than 50 seconds.
Response: The CEL will be illuminated and the system will be forced into “Boost Mode” (EGR is Disabled) for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
Possible Causes:

  • EGR valve mechanical failure (closed);
  • Plugged EGR cooler;
  • Defective Delta P sensor;
  • Plugged Delta P ports;
  • VNT vanes stuck in an open position;
  • Exhaust leaking at the S Pipe;
  • Exhaust leaking at the EGR valve;
  • Leaking air lines from the VPOD to the actuators (insufficient air supply);
  • Leaking or low vehicle air supply to the VPODs;
  • VPOD mechanical failure.
The diagnosis tool DETROIT DIESEL Engine Fault Codes DTC for trucks provides different possibilities such as information on the use and location of the connectors, detection and description of errors, activation of the fan, compression test and other components, system data information and more.
