PACCAR DTC 102809 is documented in Chapter 12 of the PACCAR Electrical System Service Manual, publication PM819010/KM815054, revised 04/01/2010. The page belongs to the section headed Engine Related DTCs, which covers DTC8409, DTC9109, DTC17102, DTC17131, DTC18409, DTC19009, DTC24709, DTC24809, DTC91709, DTC102809, DTC524502 and DTC524602. It is one of a dozen engine-related codes handled by a single two-page procedure. This excerpt runs 2 pages and starts at manual page 12-94.
What PACCAR DTC 102809 means
The reported symptom is that numerous engine related components are inoperative. The ICU/CECU takes many of its inputs from V-CAN (J1939) datalink communications, and PACCAR DTC 102809 is stored when an Engine Control Module databused message is not received. The fault therefore points at the message path, not necessarily at the component whose reading has gone blank.

Procedure sections in this excerpt
- Symptom statement and how the ICU/CECU receives its engine data
- Step 1 – turn the ignition key ON, start ESA and select “Connect” to reach the vehicle
- Step 2 – select “Diagnose” to read Engine Control Module diagnostic trouble codes
- Branch A – many Engine Control Module message codes logged at the same time
- Branch B – only a single or a few engine related codes present
- Cross-reference to the J1939 Lite Diagnostic Procedure
Wiring and pin references
The decision rule is simple and it is the whole point of the page. If numerous Engine Control Module message codes are present and were set at the same time, the manual treats that as a J1939 communication failure between the Engine Control Module and the CECU and sends you to the J1939 Lite Diagnostic Procedure. If only one or a few engine related codes are present, the manual reasons that a communication loss would have logged more codes, so the fault is more likely an individual sensor or a sensor-to-ECM problem, and it refers you to the OEM engine service information.
