• Wear goggles when blowing off components or blowing away chips.
• Forcing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of tin, plastic and glass) for
drying purposes or to check for leaks, results in a risk of bursting.
• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network or pressure vessel.
• Assemblies or plants to be connected must either be designed for this pressure, or, if the permitted
pressure for the connecting elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducing valve
and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection.
• Hose couplings and connections must be securely attached.
• Provide the snout of the air nozzle with a protective disk (e.g. rubber disk).
• First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the supply
line, or before the equipment or tool is to be replaced.
• Carry out leak test in accordance with the specifications.
Paints and lacquers

• Observe the relevant safety data sheet for all materials.
• When carrying out painting work outside the spray stands provided with fume extraction systems, en‐
sure that the area is well ventilated. Make sure that neighboring work areas are not impaired.
• Avoid open flames in the vicinity.
• No smoking.
• Observe fire prevention regulations.
• Always wear a mask providing protection against paint and solvent vapors.
Liquid nitrogen
• Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in regulation containers without fixed covers.
• Avoid body contact (eyes, hands).
• Wear protective clothing, protective gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles / safety mask.
• Make sure that working area is well ventilated.
• Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.
Acids and alkaline solutions

• When working with acids and alkaline solutions, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and
TIM-ID: 0000000880 - 017
protective clothing.
• If such solutions are spilled onto clothing, remove the affected clothing immediately.
• Rinse injured parts of the body thoroughly with clean water.
• Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.

6.2 Fault messages from DDEC engine governor
The DDEC engine governor generates alarms which are indicated in different ways depending on the
equipment configuration:
• Two-digit flashing code
• Fault code and text on a display or PC screen
To facilitate troubleshooting without additional auxiliary equipment, the two-digit flash codes can be read
out from the DDEC by means of the vehicle-side alarm lamps CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (yellow) and
STOP ENGINE LIGHT (red).
Two switches (DIAGNOSTIC REQUEST) must be provided in the plant in this case. The first switch is
used for reading out the flash codes of the master DDEC unit, the second one to read out the receiver
DDEC unit. The flash-code signals from master and receiver are transmitted to the same alarm lamps.
Active codes: Inactive codes:
indicated by STOP ENGINE LIGHT (red) indicated by CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (yellow)
Activation of “FLASH-CODES”:
1. Set “IGNITION” switch to ON.C.
2. Actuate “DIAGNOSTIC REQUEST” switch of Master or Receiver.
3. Read-off codes.
4. Identify fault on the basis of the DDC fault code list.
Example:
Active code 23: Inactive code 34:
STOP ENGINE LIGHT lamp CHECK ENGINE LIGHT lamp
flashes: flashes:
Flashing phase 1 Flashing phase 2 Flashing phase 1 Flashing phase 2
ОО ООО ООО ОООО
2 x flash 3 x flash 3 x flash 4 x flash
There is a pause lasting 0.5 seconds between flashing phases 1 and 2. There is a pause of approx. 3
seconds on changing between active and inactive code.
Switch off the “DIAGNOSTIC REQUEST” and “IGNITION” switches to cancel “FLASH-CODE” indication.
The “IGNITION” switch may only be switched back on after a 30 sec. delay.
Precise fault diagnosis is, however, not possible using this method as any one flashing code may be
used to cover several different fault causes.
Detailed diagnosis is possible using the Diagnostic Data Reader (DDR) readout/programming unit.
The Diagnostic Data Reader (DDR) is used to:
• Read out DDEC electronics fault messages
• Change a limited scope of parameters
Active and inactive fault codes can be read out with the DDR via separate menus. Inactive fault codes
TIM-ID: 0000003162 - 002
stored in the governor can also be deleted.

Refer to the DDR device description for details of the range of features.
The DDR (part no. 5355383601/77) comprises:
• One Pro Link 9000 basic unit
• One cartridge to accommodate a PCMCIA plug-in circuit board (MPC cartridge)
• One PCMCIA plug-in circuit board
• One connecting cable
• An additional adapter cable is also required (part no. J 38500 60A)

Additional accessories:
• Printer (part no. J-38699) for direct connection to the DDR
• Spare paper (part no. J-38480-5) for the printer (5 rolls respectively)
The following information is available on reading out the fault codes with the DDR.
Example:
33 MID:128 Engine
TURBO BOOST SENSOR
INPUT VOLTAGE HIGH
▴ A1 PID: 102 FMI:3 ▾
Explanation:
• 33 → Flashing code
• MID: 128 →Information about the source of the fault message
• TURBO-BOOST-SENSOR-INPUT-VOLTAGE-HIGH → Fault text
• ▴ ▾ → more faults pending A= active, I= inactive
MID (Message Identification Character)
• Information about the source of the fault message:
MID 128 → Master
MID 175 → Receiver 1
MID 183 → Receiver 2
PID (Parameter Identification Character).
• Information to identify transmitted data: (e.g. engine speed, coolant temperature etc.)
PID 0-127 → 1 data byte
PID 128-191 → 2 data bytes
PID 192-253 → Variable
SID (Subsystem Identification Character)
• Information about the source of fault messages from subordinate systems which may be replaced as a
unit (e.g. injectors).
FMI (Failure Mode Identifier)
• Information about the type of fault which has occurred.
FMI 0 → Measured value above limit value (monitoring of TOO HIGH) example: Coolant temperature
FMI 1 → Measured value below limit value (monitoring of TOO LOW) example: Lube oil pressure
FMI 3 → Signal disrupted or signal above admissible measuring range (sensor failure)
FMI 4 → Signal short-circuited to (-) supply of sensor or signal below admissible measuring range
(sensor failure)

7.2.2 Instructions and comments on endoscopic and visual examination of cylinder
liners
Terms used for endoscopic examination

Use the terms listed below to describe the condition of the cylinder-liner surface in the endoscopic exami‐
nation report.
Findings Measure
Light scoring Minor dirt scores can occur during the assembly of a new engine (honing prod‐
ucts, particles, broken-off burrs). Removed cylinders clearly exhibit such scor‐
ing on the running surface under endoscope magnification. Cannot be felt with
the fingernail.
Findings not critical.
Single scores Clearly visible scores caused by hard particles. They usually start in the TDC
area and cross through the honing pattern in the direction of stroke.
Scored area These areas consist of scores of different lengths and depths next to one an‐
other. In most cases, they are found at the 6-o'clock and 12-o'clock positions
(inlet/exhaust) along the transverse engine axis.
Smoothened area Smoothened areas are changes to the running surface but almost the whole
honing pattern is still visible. Smoothened areas appear brighter and more bril‐
liant than the surrounding running surface.
Polished area Polished areas are on the running surface and show local removal of the hon‐
ing pattern. Grooves from the honing process are not visible any more.
New cylinder liners must be fitted in the following cases
Polished area:
covers more than 20% of the entire piston running surface,
covers more than 30° of the circumference and extends over more than 50%
of piston stroke,
is wider than 15 mm over the entire piston stroke.
Discoloration This is caused by oxidation (surface discoloration through oil or fuel) and tem‐
perature differences around the liner. It appears rather darker within the honed
structure in contrast to the bright metallic running surface. The honing pattern
is undisturbed. Discolorations extend in stroke direction and may be interrupt‐
ed.
TIM-ID: 0000003285 - 003
Corrosion fields / spots Corrosion fields / spots result from water (condensed water) with the valves in
the overlap (open) position. They are clearly visible due to the dark color of the
honing groove bottom.
This corrosion is not critical unless there is corrosion pitting.
Black lines Black lines are a step towards heat discoloration. They are visible as a clear
discoloration from TDC to BDC in the running surface and the start of localized
damage to the honing pattern.
Cylinders with a number of black lines around the running surface have limited
service life and should be replaced.

Findings Measure
Discolorations (Heat) These are caused by a disturbance in the liner / ring tribosystem. Usually they
run over the whole ring-travel area (TDC/BDC), starting at the first TDC-ring
and becoming more visible from the second TDC-ring onwards and less pro‐
nounced from TDC-ring 1. The honing pattern is usually no longer visible and
displays a clearly defined (straight) edge to the undisturbed surface. The dam‐
aged surface is usually discolored. The circumferential length varies.
Liners with heat discoloration starting in the TDC-ring 1 have to be replaced.
Seizures, Seizure Seizure marks are of irregular circumferential length and depth. Can be
marks caused by either the piston skirt or the piston crown. Material deposits on the
liner (smears) show heavy discoloration and scoring.
Replace liner.
Evaluation of findings and further measures

The findings in the start phase of oxidation discoloration and heat discoloration are similar. Thorough in‐
vestigation and compliance with the above evaluation criteria allows a definite evaluation. To avoid un‐
necessary disassembly work, it is recommended that another inspection be carried out after further oper‐
ation of the engine.
