Safety & Compliance
FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Kenworth Truck Co. ensures that our products comply with all applicable
U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. However, the fact that this vehicle has no fth wheel and that a
Body Builder (Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer) will be doing additional modications means that the vehicle was
incomplete when it left the build plant. See next section and Appendix A for additional information.
Incomplete Vehicle Certication
An Incomplete Vehicle Document is shipped with the vehicle, certifying that the vehicle is not complete. See Figure 2–1.
In addition, afxed to the driver’s side door frame or edge is an Incomplete Vehicle Certication label. See Figure 2–2. For
further information on Vehicle Certication and Identication, see APPENDIX A “VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION.”
NOTE
These documents list the U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard regulations that the
vehicle complied with when it left the build plant. You should be aware that if you add, modify or alter any
of the components or systems covered by these regulations, it is your responsibility as the Intermediate or
Final Stage Manufacturer to ensure that the complete vehicle is in compliance with the particular regula-
tions upon completion of the modications.

As the Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer, you should retain the Incomplete Vehicle Document for your records. In
addition, you should record and retain the manufacturer and serial number of the tires on the vehicle. Upon completion
of the vehicle (installation of the body and any other modications), you should afx your certication label to the vehicle
as required by Federal law. This tag identies you as the “Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer” and certies that the
vehicle complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. (See Figure 2–2.) Be advised that regulations affecting the
intermediate and nal stage manufacturer may change without notice. Ensure you are referencing the most updated copy
of the regulation during the certication and documentation processes.
In part, if the nal stage manufacturer can complete and certify the vehicle within the instruction in the incomplete vehicle
document (IVD) the certication label would need a statement that reads, “This vehicle has been completed in accordance
with the prior manufacturers‚ IVD where applicable. This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards [and Bumper and Theft Prevention Standards if applicable] in effect in (month, year).”
However, if the vehicle can not be completed and certied with in the guidance provided in the IVD, the nal stage manufacturer must ensure the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The nal
stage manufactures certication label would need a statement that reads, “This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards [and Bumper and Theft Prevention Standards if applicable] in effect in (month, year).”

Noise and Emissions Requirements
NOTE
This truck may be equipped with specic emissions control components/systems* in order to
meet applicable Federal and California noise and exhaust emissions requirements. Tampering
with these emissions control components/systems* is against the rules that are established by the
U.S Code of Federal Regulations, Environment Canada Regulations and California Air Resources
Board (CARB). These emissions control components/systems* may only be replaced with original
equipment parts.
Additionally, most vehicles in North America will be equipped with a Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
“Vehicle Emission Control Information” door label indicating its certied conguration. The vehicle
components listed on this label (as shown in Figure 2-3) are considered emission control devices.
Modifying (i.e. altering, substituting, relocating) any of the emissions control components/sys-
tems dened above will affect the noise and emissions performance/certication. Modications
that alter the overall shape and aerodynamic performance of a tractor will also affect the emis-
sion certication. If modications are required, they must rst be approved by the manufacturer.
Unapproved modications could negatively affect emissions performance/certication. There is no
guarantee that proposed modications will be approved.
Tires may be substituted provided the new tires possess a Coefcient of rolling resistance (Crr)
equal to or lower than Crr of the original tires. Consult with your tire supplier(s) for appropriate
replacement tires.
Contact the engine manufacturer for any requirements and restrictions prior to any modications.
• For Cummins Contact 1-800-DIESELS or your local Cummins distributor. Reference AEB 21.102.
It is possible to relocate the DEF tank, however the relocation requirements need to be followed. Any variance from the
relocation requirements may cause the emissions control components/systems to operate improperly potentially resulting
in engine de-rate. See page 4-3 for relocation requirements.
NOTE
All 2013 engine emissions certied vehicles will be equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics
(OBD) system. The OBD system is designed to detect malfunctions of any engine or vehicle component that may increase exhaust emissions or interfere with the proper performance of the OBD
system itself.
2-3
02/15
Section 2
Safety & Compliance
All diesel engines will be equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system. The OBD
system consists of computer program on one or more of the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units
(ECUs). This program uses information from the control system and from additional sensors to
detect malfunctions. When a malfunction is detected, information is stored in the ECU(s) for diagnostic purposes. A Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is illuminated in the dash to alert the driver of
the need for service of an emission-related component or system.
To ensure compliance to emissions regulations, the nal conguration of certain features of the completed vehicle
must meet specic requirements. This section describes requirements relevant for only the most common or critical modications done by body builders. For a complete description of acceptable modications, see the application
guidance available from the manufacturer of the engine installed in the chassis.
Fuel System
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
The overall system restriction may not exceed the restriction limitations set forth by the engine manufacturer for both
supply and return.
• Ensure that fuel lines are not pinched or can potentially be damaged when installed between body and frame
• Fuel lines must be routed and secured without dips or sags
• There must be easy access to lter(s) and ll cap
• The tank vent may not obstructed
• Added accessories (heaters, generators) cannot introduce air into system
• Fuel tank must be located so that the full level is not above cylinder head
• “Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel Only” labels must be present on the dash and fuel ll
• Modication of the pressure side secondary lter and plumbing is not allowed without engine manufacturer
approval
• Body installation of fuel tank or routing of lines must not cause signicant increase in fuel temperature
• Fuel hoses shall meet or exceed OEM supplied hose material construction specications

The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• Air system modication must meet applicable FMVSS regulations
• Compressed Air tank may not be modied (exception – addition or removal of ttings or relocation of the tank)
02/15
• Added devices or bodywork may not interfere with or rub air lines
• Air supply to the engine doser may not be restricted or disconnected
• Air lines should be routed, protected from heat, and properly secured to prevent damage from other
components
• Care should be taken so that air lines do not rub against other components
• Care should be taken to protect the air system from heat sources.
2-4
Section 2
Safety & Compliance
Exhaust and Exhaust After-treatment System
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• The following after-treatment and exhaust system components may not be modied:
• DPF assembly
• SCR Catalyst assembly
• Exhaust pipes between the engine and after-treatment devices (DPF, SCR Catalyst) and between
after-treatment devices
• NOx Sensor
• The following modications may only be done within the guidelines of the “DEF System Relocation Guide.”
• Modications to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) throttle, suction, or pressure lines
• Modication or relocation of the DEF tank
• Modication of coolant lines to and from the DEF tank
• All DEF and coolant lines should be routed, protected, and properly secured to prevent damage during vehicle
operation or other components
• If relocation of the DCU or ACM is necessary, use existing frame brackets and mount inside of frame anges
where necessary. Do not extend the harnesses
• The DPF, the SCR catalyst, or their mounting may not be modied
• The NOx sensor may not been relocated or altered in any way
• Exhaust pipes used for tailpipes/stacks must be properly sized, and must prevent water from entering
• Ensure adequate clearance between the exhaust and body panels, hoses, and wire harnesses
• The body in the vicinity of the DPF must be able to withstand temperatures up to 400°C (750°F)
• Do not add thermal insulation to the external surface of the DPF
• The SCR water drain hole may not be blocked
• Allow adequate clearance (25mm (1 inch)) for servicing the DPF sensors, wiring, and clamped joints
• Drainage may not come in contact with the DPF, SCR catalyst, sensors or wiring
• Allow sufcient clearance for removing sensors from DPF. Thermistors require four inches. Other sensors
require one inch
• Wiring should be routed, protected from heat, and properly secured to prevent damage from
other components
• The exhaust system from an auxiliary power unit (APU) must not be connected to any part of the vehicle
after-treatment system or vehicle tail pipe.
Cooling System
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• Modications to the design or locations of ll or vent lines, heater or defroster core, and surge tank are not
recommended
• With the exception of post-thermostat installation, additional accessories plumbed into the engine cooling
system are not permitted, at the risk of voiding vehicle warranty
• Coolant level sensor tampering will void warranty
2-5
02/15
Section 2
Safety & Compliance
• When installing auxiliary equipment in front of the vehicle, or additional heat exchangers, ensure that
adequate air ow is available to the vehicle cooling system. Refer to engine manufacturer application guidelines for further detail
• When installing FEPTO drivelines, the lower radiator anti-recirculation seal must be retained with FEPTO
driveline clearance modication only
• Changes made to cooling fan circuit and controls are not allowed, with the exception of AC minimum fan on
time parameter
• See owner’s manual for appropriate winter front usage
Electrical System
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• Electrical harnesses providing battery power and electronic control signals to engine and emissions control/
vehicle OBD components including datalinks may not be spliced. These emissions control/vehicle OBD
components include the following:
• throttle pedal
• vehicle speed sensor
• after-treatment wiring
• If the alternator or battery is substituted, it must meet the requirements of the engine manufacture’s guidelines. This includes alternator ground voltage drop and alternator ground cable effectiveness. See the engine
manufacture’s guidelines for recommended test procedure. Additionally the maximum voltage differential and
the peak-peak voltage differential between the engine ECM block ground stud and battery negative terminal
may not exceed 500 mV under any combination of loads or operating conditions.
• Only an OBD compliant battery disconnect switch may be installed on vehicles equipped EPA 2013 and be-
yond compliant diesel engines. An OBD compliant switch and harness, even in the off position, supply a small
amount of power to the engine controller and enable certain emissions critical functions (e.g. DEF line purge).
Any modications to the electrical system which interrupt this power supply will cause OBD fault codes and
illumination of the MIL. In addition, such a modication will render the engine non-compliant with certain emis-
sion regulations. As a general rule of thumb, you can remove and replace the battery a battery disconnect
switch on a truck equipped with a battery disconnect switch at the factory. However, if a battery disconnect
switch was not installed in the factory a signicant harness modication is required before a battery disconnect switch can be added. Installation of aftermarket transfer-cases must address the vehicle speed sensor
position. The standard position of the speed sensor is at the transmission tail shaft. When a transfer-case is
added it is best to relocate the sensor to the axle side output shaft of the transfer-case. This is typically accomplished by adding a tone wheel into the driveline yoke assembly.
• Wiring extensions for the after-treatment wiring are available for relocating the DEF tank from your dealer via
Paccar Parts. For relocation of DEF tank, refer to the after-treatment section of this manual.
• The emission system requires an accurate Outside Air Temperature (OAT) reading in order to properly run
its control algorithms. The OAT sensor is located in the driver’s side mirror assembly on Kenworth trucks and
is shown in the gures below. If the body builder needs to modify the mirror assembly in any way, it is important the OAT sensor stay positioned on the mirror assembly. Running the vehicle without the OAT sensor
connected will cause the MIL lamp to illuminate. If needed, a replacement sensor can be ordered from your
• Coolant Sensor considerations are given in the Cooling section above
• The OBD/Diagnostic connector port is located below the dash to the left of the steering wheel. This connector
and its location may not be changed.
Section 2
Safety & Compliance
• All vehicles equipped with EPA 2013 compliant diesel and bi-fueled engines must be equipped with a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lamp. This lamp is required to be an engine outline symbol as dened by ISO (International Standards Organization). The gure below shows the instrument cluster and MIL lamp position. Note
this lamp location is xed with respect to the controls and its location may not be changed if you are updating
the warning lamp cards.
FIGURE 2-4: Instrument Cluster for T680/T880 used with EPA 2013 Emission compliant
engines. The Check Engine lamp and/or the MIL will appear in the Driver Performance
Center (#8). See T680/T880 Operator’s Manual for more information.
• In addition to the sensors and lamps above, the emission system also depends on signals from the exhaust
DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), and NOx sensor. Wiring between these
devices, the Dosing Control Unit (DCU) and engine ECM should not be tampered with or altered in any way.
