SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
Available Configurations
A wide variety of system configurations are available (refer
to Figure 17). It is important to be able to read system
configurations and to be able to properly reconfigure a
system when necessary.
When to Configure
ECUs are factory configured for the most common
requirements. Basic systems are setup for 4s-4m operation
with retarder control via retarder relay. Standard systems
are setup for 6s-4m operation with retarder control via
engine data link. For applications other than these factory
configurations (for example use of a retarder control relay,
4s-3m operation, 6s-6m operation or traction control), it is
necessary to perform a configuration or “setup” process.
This process sets up the ECU for the components that are
installed so that proper control and fault tolerance will be
implemented. The diagnostic switch, MPSI Pro-Link
®
tool
or ServiceRanger PC software may be used to configure
to a higher level (add components or functionality). If it is
desired to move the configuration downward (fewer
components than standard), the ProLink tool or
ServiceRanger PC software must be used.
How to Configure
Use the “SYSTEM SETUP” menu with the MPSI ProLink
®
tool, the diagnostic switch (refer to page 25 for procedure)
or ServiceRanger PC software. Use of the “SETUP”
function will also clear inactive trouble codes from the
system. However it is recommended that the “CLEAR
TROUBLE CODES” function be used for clearing inactive
codes.
Verification
It is important to verify that the intended configuration has
been obtained. Refer to Figure 20 (page 17) for proper
interpretation of configuration blink codes.
