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 fi fth wheel and that a
Body Builder (Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer) will be doing additional modifi cations means that the vehicle was
incomplete when it left the build plant. See next section and Appendix A for additional information.
Incomplete V ehicle Certifi cation
An Incomplete Vehicle Document is shipped with the vehicle, certifying that the vehicle is not complete. See Figure 2–1.
In addition, affi xed to the driver’s side door frame or edge is an Incomplete Vehicle Certifi cation label. See Figure 2–2. For
further information on Vehicle Certifi cation and Identifi cation, 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 regulations upon completion of the modifi cations.

FIGURE 2-2. Locations of Certifi ca-
tion Labels - Driver’s Door and Frame
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 modifi cations), you should affi x your certifi cation label to the vehicle
as required by Federal law. This tag identifi es you as the “Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer” and certifi es that the
vehicle complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. (See Figure 2–2.) Be advised that regulations affecting the
intermediate and fi nal stage manufacturer may change without notice. Ensure you are referencing the most updated copy
of the regulation during the certifi cation and documentation processes.
In part, if the fi nal stage manufacturer can complete and certify the vehicle within the instruction in the incomplete vehicle
document (IVD) the certifi cation 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 certifi ed with in the guidance provided in the IVD, the fi nal stage manu-
facturer must ensure the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The fi nal
stage manufactures certifi cation 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
For Cummins Contact: Please call 1-800-DIESELS or contact 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
This truck may be equipped with specifi c 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.
Modifying (i.e. altering, substituting, relocating) any of the emissions control components/systems defi ned above will affect the noise and emissions performance/certifi cation. If modifi cations
are required, they must fi rst be approved by the engine manufacturer. Unapproved modifi cations
could negatively effect emissions performance/certifi cation. There is no guarantee that proposed
modifi cations will be approved.
Contact the engine manufacturer for any requirements and restrictions prior to any modifi cations.
Some 2010 engine emissions certifi ed 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.
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.

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:
If the alternator or battery is substituted, it must meet the requirements of the engine manufacture’s guide-•
lines. 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.
Installation of aftermarket transfer-cases must address the vehicle speed sensor position. The standard posi-•
tion 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 fi gures below. If the body builder needs to modify the mirror assembly in any way, it is im-
portant 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
Kenworth dealer.
FIGURE 2-3: West Coast Mirror OAT sensor, located in overmold on mirror harness.
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 •
or its location may not be changed.
Section 2
Safety & Compliance
Vehicles using EPA 2010 compliant engines must be equipped with a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lamp. •
This lamp is required to be an engine outline symbol as defi ned by ISO (International Standards Organiza-
tion). The fi gure below shows the instrument cluster and MIL lamp position. Note this lamp location is fi xed
with respect to the controls and its location may not be changed if you are updating the warning lamp cards.
FIGURE 2-5: Instrument Cluster for T440/T470 used with EPA2010 Emission compliant
engines. The Check Engine lamp is symbol 21 and the MIL is symbol 8.
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.
