The “Premium Tech Tool” (PTT) is the
preferred tool for performing diagnostic work.
Contact your local dealer for more information.
The Engine Management System (EMS)
controls many engine functions such as: fuel
timing and delivery, engine protection functions,
engine brake operation, EGR valve function and
the turbocharger nozzle function. The Engine
Electronic Control Unit (EECU) along with other
supporting control units and sensors are
responsible for monitoring and controlling these
functions. These control units communicate
through the J1939 high speed serial data line to
share data.
In addition to their control functions, the modules
have on-board diagnostic capabilities. The onboard diagnostics are designed to detect faults
or abnormal conditions that are not within their
operating parameters. When the system detects
a fault or abnormal condition, the fault will be
logged in one or both of the modules’ memory.
The vehicle operator will be advised that a fault
has occurred by the illumination of a malfunction
indicator lamp and a message in the driver
information display, if equipped. The module
may initiate the engine shutdown procedure if
the system determines that the abnormal
condition could damage the engine. In some
situations, the system will enter the "limp home"
mode. Limp home mode allows continued
vehicle operation but, the system may substitute
a sensor or signal value that may result in
reduced engine performance.
Fault codes logged in the system memory, can
later be read to aid in diagnosing the fault.
These faults can be read via a diagnostic
computer or through the instrument cluster
display, if equipped. The “Premium Tech Tool”
(PTT) is the preferred tool for performing
diagnostic work. Using a diagnostic computer
(or PTT) connected to the Serial
Communication Port, expands the technicians
diagnostic capabilities with additional data and
tests.
For diagnostic software, contact your local
dealer.

Sensors
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
The Ambient Air Temperature Sensor is used to
detect the outside air temperature. The sensor
modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The
modified signal returns to the ECM as the
ambient air temperature. The sensor uses a
thermistor that is sensitive to the change in
temperature. The electrical resistance of the
thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
The Ambient Air Temperature Sensor is located
in the front of the vehicle.
Ambient (Atmospheric) Pressure Sensor
The Ambient (Atmospheric) Pressure Sensor
contains a pressure sensitive diaphragm and an
electrical amplifier. Mechanical pressure applied
PA1561 3
Section 01: ENGINE
to the diaphragm causes the diaphragm to
deflect and the amplifier to produce an electrical
signal proportional to the deflection.
The Ambient (Atmospheric) Pressure Sensor is
built into the Engine Management System
(EMS) Module.
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (Engine Position) Sensor
is located in the rear face of the timing gear
cover at the rear of the engine, near the bottom
of the valve cover. It uses magnetic induction to
generate a pulsed electrical signal. It senses the
passage of seven (7) timing bumps on the edge
of the camshaft dampener. Six of the holes
correspond to the phasing of the electronic unit
injectors, while the seventh hole indicates the
top dead center position.
Crankshaft Position (Engine Speed) Sensor
The Crankshaft Position (Engine Speed) Sensor
uses magnetic induction to generate a pulsed
electrical signal. Notches are machined into the
edge of the flywheel. When one of the notches
passes close to the sensor, electric pulses
result.
The Crankshaft Position (Engine Speed) Sensor
also indicates when the crankshaft is at the top
dead center position.
EGR Temperature Sensor
The EGR temperature sensor detects exhaust
gas temperature for EGR system. The sensor
modifies a voltage signal from the control unit.
The modified signal returns to the control unit as
the exhaust temperature of the EGR system to
confirm EGR operation. The sensor uses a
thermistor that is sensitive to the change in
temperature.
The EGR Temperature Sensor is located near
the EGR valve.
Engine Coolant Level (ECL) Sensor
The Engine Coolant Level (ECL) Sensor is a
switch. If engine coolant level falls below a
calibrated point the contacts open and the driver
will be notified of the low coolant level.
The Engine Coolant Level (ECL) Sensor is
located in the cooling system reservoir tank.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is
located at the front of the engine. The sensor
will indicate a high coolant temperature caused
by problems like radiator blockage, thermostat
failure, heavy load, or high ambient
temperatures. This sensor is also used for cold
start enhancement and for fan clutch
engagement.
Differential Pressure DP Sensor
The differential pressure sensor is used for flow
measurement of the Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF). This sensor has two pressure ports and
senses the difference in pressure between the
two ports. Measurement of the pressure before
and after the DPF is used to calculate diesel
filter regeneration.
The Differential Pressure DPF Sensor is located
on the side of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
EGR Differential Pressure Sensor
The EGR differential pressure sensor is used for
flow measurement of the Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) valve. This sensor has two
pressure ports and senses the difference in
pressure between the two ports. Measurement
of the pressure before and after the EGR valve
is used to calculate EGR flow.
The EGR Differential Pressure Sensor is located
on the left or right side of the engine.
Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) Sensor
The Engine Oil Pressure Sensor contains a
pressure sensitive diaphragm and a electrical
amplifier. Mechanical pressure applied to the
diaphragm causes the diaphragm to deflect and
the amplifier to produce an electrical signal
proportional to the deflection.
The Engine Oil Pressure Sensor is located on
the oil filter assembly. The sensor monitors
engine oil pressure to warn of lubrication system
failure.
Engine Oil Level (EOL) Sensor
The Engine Oil Level Sensor is located in the oil
pan.
Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensor
The Engine Oil Temperature Sensor is a
thermistor whose resistance varies inversely to
temperature. The sensor has a negative
PA1561 4
Section 01: ENGINE
temperature coefficient, which means the sensor
resistance will decrease as the engine oil
temperature increases.
The Engine Oil Temperature Sensor is located
in the oil pan.
Exhaust Temperature Sensor (DPF Sensors)
The exhaust gas temperature sensor detects
exhaust gas temperature for DPF protection as
well as DPF regeneration control. The sensor
modifies a voltage signal from the control unit.
The modified signal returns to the control unit as
the exhaust temperature at that specific location
of the exhaust. The sensor uses a thermistor
sensitive to the change in temperature.
that is
The Exhaust Temperature Sensors are located in
the DPF assembly.
Fuel Pressure Sensor
The fuel pressure sensor contains a diaphragm
that senses fuel pressure. A pressure change
causes the diaphragm to flex, inducing a stress
or strain in the diaphragm. The resistor values in
the sensor change in proportion to the stress
applied to the diaphragm and produces an
electrical output.
The Fuel Pressure Sensor is located on top of
the fuel filter housing.
air temperature increases.
The Intake Manifold (Boost) Temperature
Sensor is located in the intake manifold.
Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor
The Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor contains a
pressure sensitive diaphragm and an electrical
amplifier. Mechanical pressure applied to the
diaphragm causes the diaphragm to deflect and
the amplifier to produce an electrical signal
proportional to the deflection.
The Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor is located
on the air inlet pipe before the intake manifold.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position Sensor is a potentiometer
that is mechanically linked to the accelerator
pedal. A potentiometer is a variable resistor
whose resistance will change as the pedal is
pressed. As the resistance changes, the signal
voltage of the sensor changes indicating the
accelerator pedal position.
The Throttle Position Sensor is located above
the accelerator pedal. The sensor is designed to
improve the driver’s control by reducing
sensitivity to chassis motion. This sensor
provides the driver’s fuel request input to the
VECU.
Intake Air Temperature and Humidity (IATH)
Sensor
The Intake Air Temperature and Humidity (IATH)
Sensor contains a thermistor and a capacitive
sensor. The resistance of the thermistor varies
inversely to temperature. The output of the
capacitive sensor increases as the humidity of
the surrounding air increases. By monitoring the
signals from both portions of the sensor, the
Engine Management System (EMS) Module
calculates the temperature and humidity of the
air passing through the air filter housing.
The Intake Air Temperature and Humidity (IATH)
Sensor is located in the air intake tube just
downstream from the air filter canister.
Intake Manifold (Boost) Temperature Sensor
The Intake Manifold (Boost) Temperature
Sensor is a thermistor whose resistance varies
inversely to temperature. The sensor has a
negative temperature coefficient, which means
the sensor resistance will decrease as the inlet
Turbo Speed Sensor
The Turbo Speed Sensor informs the EMS of
the turbo shaft speed. The sensor does not read
from the vanes, but reads from the shaft. The
Engine Management System (EMS) Module
uses this signal in conjunction with the VGT
position sensor signal to control the speed of the
turbocharger and therefore optimize the intake
manifold pressure.
The Turbo Speed Sensor is mounted in the
center of the turbocharger.
The Variable Geometry Turbocharger Smart
Remote Actuator (VGT SRA) takes the position
commands from the EMS, moves the nozzle of
the turbocharger to the desired position, and
performs all of the diagnostics and self checks
on the actuator.

1.3 ENGINE OIL
1.3.1 General
Keep the engine oil at the proper level and change it at the recommended intervals. Always replace the
oil filters at the same time as when the oil is changed.
1.3.2 Oil Quality
Volvo North America recognizes engine oils that meet or exceed the standards given by American
Petroleum Institute (API) for the oil classifications listed in this manual. Only oils licensed to carry the API
PA1561 7
Section 01: ENGINE
symbol should be used. Lubricants meeting API standards have provided maximum engine life when
used together with the recommended oil and oil filter change intervals.
EO-O Premium Plus (or VDS-4) diesel engine oil is mandatory for use in all 2007 emission compliant
Volvo engines. Chassis equipped with a 2007 emission compliant engine, which can be identified by the
presence of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), also require the use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.
EO-O Premium Plus oils exceed the new API service category CJ-4.
CAUTION
DO NOT add extra oil additives. Additives such as break-in oils, top oils, graphitizers, and frictionreducing liquids are not necessary and can harm the engine.
1.3.3 Oil Change Intervals
The length of time an engine can operate before an oil change depends on the quality oil used, the type
of fuel used, fuel consumption, engine oil consumption, vehicle application, level of dust in the air, and
fuel consumption. The change intervals given in this manual are maximum intervals. If the vehicle is
operating in heavy-duty operation, dusty or off-road conditions, etc., reduce the intervals for more
frequent oil changes.
NOTE
Use the information in the table below to determine the operating condition and usage applicable to your
vehicle.
Engine Operating Condition Medium Heavy Severe
Total Fuel Consumption (mpg) More than 6 More than 4.7 More than 3.7
Total Fuel Consumption (L/100 KM) Less than 39 Less than 50 Less than 64

PA1561 8
Section 01: ENGINE
NOTE
Oil filters should always be changed when
changing the oil.
1.3.4 Oil Filters
There are three filters on the engine, one of
which is a bypass filter. This should be changed
at the same time as the full-flow filter(s).
CAUTION
Volvo branded oil filters are designed to
provide the proper level of filtration and
protection for Volvo engines. Filters that do
not meet the same stringent requirements
may void engine warranty.
Choose the viscosity grade for the typical
ambient temperature for the application.
Multigrade oils have a broad range that suit
operation in changing temperature.
Volvo North America recommends the
viscosities shown in the viscosity/temperature
table for Volvo engines.
1.3.7 Oil Additives
FIGURE 3: D13F OIL FILTERS
1.3.5 Synthetic Lubrication
Synthetic oils are offered by some oil suppliers
as an alternative to the traditional, petroleum
based oils for engines. These oils may be used
in Volvo engines, provided they meet the quality
levels specified on the previous pages, that is:
both VDS-4 and EO-O Premium Plus.
The use of synthetic oils does not permit the
extension of the recommended oil change
intervals.
1.3.6 Oil Viscosity
The viscosity grade defines the thickness of the
oil. The oil must be thin enough at low
temperatures for easy cold starts and thick
enough to protect at high temperatures. An oil is
not fully defined until both the API quality
classification and the viscosity grade are
specified.
CAUTION
Extra oil additives must never be added to
any engine oil used. Additives such as breakin oils, top oils, graphitizers, and friction
reducing liquids are not necessary and may
even harm the engine.
Using oils to the quality standards
recommended in this manual makes the use of
extra oil additives unnecessary, as these oils
already contain a balanced treatment of
additives.
1.3.8 Oil Consumption
Once the engine is stopped, check the oil level
daily. If the engine has just been stopped and it
is warm, wait approximately five minutes to allow
the oil to drain back to the oil pan before
checking. Add oil as necessary.
CAUTION
DO NOT overfill engine with oil.
All diesel engines are designed to consume
some oil, so it is normal to add oil periodically.
An engine used in heavy-duty operation will
consume more oil than one in normal operation.
PA1561 9
Section 01: ENGINE
1.3.9 Oil Change
WARNING
A hot engine or engine oil can be dangerous.
Serious burns can result from contact with a
hot engine or oil. Take precautions when
draining the oil. Wear gloves or let the engine
cool down before draining.
WARNING
When draining the oil, use the proper tools
and keep away as far as possible. Raise the
elbow so the forearm is parallel to the ground
to prevent oil running down the arm, causing
burns.
CAUTION
Always dispose of all lubricants (motor oil,
coolant, gear box oils, etc) and filters
according to Federal or local regulations.
Used oil disposed of in nature or waterways
contaminates our drinking water and kills
wildlife.
1.3.10 Oil Filters Change
WARNING
Hot oil can cause severe burns. DO NOT
allow hot oil to contact the skin. When
changing oil, wear protective gloves.
CAUTION
Volvo-branded oil filters are designed to
provide the proper level of filtration and
protection for Volvo engines. Filters that do
not meet the same stringent requirements
may cause unsatisfactory results.
• Clean around the oil filter housing and
remove the filters using the oil filter
wrench or the oil filter socket.
WARNING
Prolonged contact with used engine oil may
be harmful. Use rubber gloves when handling
used oil. Wash skin thoroughly if it comes in
contact with used oil.
It is important to drain as much oil as possible.
Try to change oil immediately after driving, when
the oil is warm. Always replace the oil filters
when changing the oil.
Component Capacity (L)
Oil pan 24 min - 32 max
Engine block 4.5
Filters (3) 6
Total oil fill (empty) 42.5
NOTE
Since about 1 liter of oil remains in the engine
after draining, approximately 38 liters will be
needed for a complete oil change.
FIGURE 4: OIL FILTER WRENCH
• Prefill the new oil filters with approved
engine oil. Also, lubricate the filter gaskets
with engine oil (1). Hand tighten the oil
filters until they contact the sealing surface
of the oil filter housing (2). Manually

full turn (3).
PA1561 10
Section 01: ENGINE
FIGURE 5: OIL FITER REPLACEMENT
• Start the engine and check for leaks
around the oil filter housing and filters.
• Check the oil level. Add approved engine
oil to the recommended level, if
necessary. Do not overfill.
1.3.11 Checking the Oil Level
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level
ground before checking the oil level. Wait five
minutes after shutting off the engine and then
proceed with checking the oil.
CAUTION
DO NOT let the oil level fall below the marking
on the dipstick. DO NOT overfill so the level is
above the upper marking on the dipstick. This
could lead to excessive oil temperature and/or
poor crankcase breather performance. Add oil
through the oil filler pipe as required in order
to maintain level within the safe range.

2. DETROIT DIESEL SERIES 60 ENGINE
The DDC series 60 engine is a 6-cylinder, fourcycle, 14.0 liters Detroit Diesel series 60 engine,
equipped with an electronic control system
(DDEC VI).
Complete maintenance and repair information
on the engine will be found in the current
DETROIT DIESEL SERIES 60 2007 ONHIGHWAY SERVICE MANUAL 6SE2007. This
essential
manual contains complete instructions
on operation, adjustment (tune-up), preventive
maintenance and lubrication, parts verification,
repair or replacement. This manual’s sections
cover complete systems such as:
• Engine main assembly;
• Fuel system;
• Lubrication system;
• Cooling system;
• Fuel, lubricating oil and coolant;

system has a chassis-mounted control unit for
vehicle engine management, the Common
Powertrain Controller (CPC). The connection to
the vehicle is made via a CAN interface which
digitally transmits the nominal values (e.g.
torque, engine speed specification, etc.) and the
actual values (e.g. engine speed, oil pressure,
etc.).
DDEC VI controls the timing and amount of fuel
injected by the electronic unit injectors (EUI).
The system also monitors several engine
functions using electrical sensors, which send
electrical signals to the Motor Control Module
(MCM). The MCM computes the electrical
signals and determines the correct fuel output
and timing for optimum power, fuel economy
and emissions. The MCM also has the ability to
display warnings or shut down the engine
completely (depending on option selection) in
the event of damaging engine conditions, such
as low oil pressure or high engine temperature.
2.2 HARNESSES
There are two major harnesses: the Engine
Harness (EH) and the Vehicle Interface Harness
(VIH). The Engine Harness is installed at the
Detroit Diesel factory and is delivered connected
to all engine sensors, the fuel injection system,
and the MCM.
The OEM supplied Vehicle Interface Harness
connects the CPC to other vehicle systems.
