Applicable truck models
This code applies to heavy-duty Detroit engines that use the CPC4 across DD Series (EPA 2007-Current) and Series 60 (DDEC VI – EPA 2007) platforms, typically in Freightliner and Western Star trucks. The document reports a short to ground on pin 11 on the CPC4 #1 connector, and the parameter check in PGR013 digital inputs confirms the channel is mapped to the intended component such as the Hood Tilt Switch.
