The PACCAR multiplex electrical system service manual is the authoritative technical reference for diagnosing and servicing multiplexed instrumentation on Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks equipped with CECU3 control units and Chassis Node architecture. Published by PACCAR Corporation in September 2011, this 197-page manual covers fault diagnosis, gauge troubleshooting, sensor circuit analysis, and Electronic Service Analyst (ESA) procedures for mechanics and workshop technicians.
Multiplexed electrical systems dramatically reduce wiring complexity by transmitting multiple signals through a single data link wire to dashboard components. This manual explains how the PACCAR multiplex system works, how to interpret diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and how to use ESA diagnostic software to pinpoint electrical faults without replacing components unnecessarily.

Applies to
This PACCAR multiplex electrical system service manual applies exclusively to Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks manufactured in 2011 and newer equipped with CECU3 software version with Chassis Node (P30-1009). The manual does not cover earlier CECU software versions such as ICU (P30-1003), CECU/CECU2 (P30-1002), or CECU3 without Chassis Node (P30-1008); those vehicles require separate documentation. For complete model compatibility and software version verification, consult PACCAR Corporation’s official support resources.
