I. - Introducing DDDL 7.06 basic features This application is the electronic tool for servicing Detroit Diesels EPA07 and EPA10 equipped
engines (S-60, MBE4000, MBE900, DD13, DD15, DD16). Note: It is not backward compatible with earlier versions of Detroit Diesel electronic
systems. Those systems will continue to be serviced with DDDL 6.X. The DDEC VI electronics system contains two controllers, the MCM
(Motor Control Module) and the CPC (Common Powertrain Controller). The DDEC10 system includes the MCM, CPC and ACM
(Aftertreatment Control Module). DDDL 7.06 allows the user to perform the following standard operations on both engine platforms:
1- Perform Standard Fault Code Operations
2- Links to Traditional and Advanced Troubleshooting Information
3- Read Actual Values
4- Configure and Manage Parameters
5- Perform Service Routines
6- Playback Logs of All Connected Activity
7- Automatic Software Updates from our server
II - Software Enhancements

IV. - Translator box / cables requirements - Here are some key general points to remember when connecting to the MCM, ACM and CPC with
DDDL 7.06:
1 - For DDDL 7.06 the only translator box fully validated with Detroit Diesel software applications is the Nexiq USB Link, which is RP1210A
compliant with J1939 and CAN connectivity. (P/N 125032) Translators that support J-1708 communications only will not work with DDDL 7.06
under any circumstances.
2 - All EPA07 vehicles contain a 9-pin Deutsch connector wired to support J-1939/ CAN communications and J-1708 communications. EPA10
vehicles support J1939/CAN exclusively.
3 - All operations may be carried out on a vehicle that has both the MCM and CPC properly installed. Note: There must be a CPC physically
present on the vehicle in order for communications to be established with the MCM.
4 - When plugging into the 9 pin Deutsch connector on the vehicle you must use a mating 9-pin connector fully wired to support J-1939 / CAN
communications. The old style 6 to 9-pin Deutsch adapter will not work.

5 - Diagnostic adapters that will work with the DDEC VI/DDEC10 system include P/N 405048 (6 and 9-pin Y adapter) and P/N J-46931, the
J1939 9-pin Deutsch Connector that was part of the DDEC V programming station upgrade kit.
V. - Installing DDDL 7.06
Before installing DDDL 7.06 you must remove any version of Detroit Diesels software to minimize the chance of any conflicts with older
versions of the software. Please use the Windows Control Panels Add / Remove Software option to perform this operation.
NEW: With this version, both DDDL 7.06 and DDDL 6.46 installed together and will share the same registration key
. DDDL 6.46 cannot be used unless DDDL 7.06 is installed and registered on the same computer.

VI Updating your DDDL software

1)

CD updates:

2)

Direct Server updates

These will be required for major changes to the program such as changes to the graphical user interface.

New CBF files that will allow the user to work with updated levels of ECU software and add functionality to the tool

New cases for Advanced Diagnostics as they are developed from field experience

These updates are initiated from within the DDDL software application. An internet connection is required to use this feature.

VI. - Registration / Support - After the first installation of DDDL 7.06/6.46, the user will have access for a 30-day trial period. During this trial
period, the user should obtain an Access Key. Follow the steps below to get a key:
1) Launch the DDDL Application from your desktop icon

2) The license panel will appear with displaying your computer ID. Each computer ID is unique to the computer DDDL is loaded on.
NOTE: This computer ID is an example only and cannot be used to register your software.

To register Diagnostic Link 7.06/6.46, contact the Nexiq Support Center at 1-877-974-3539 with 2 pieces of information, the computer ID as
shown in the picture immediately above and the numbered label on the back of the CD case. International customers can contact Nexiq at 1248-293-8285. The Nexiq Support Center also provides basic support for DDDL 7.06/6.46 relating to installation and connectivity issues.
For 2007 engine electronics and mechanical information and troubleshooting contact the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center at 313-5925800.
VII. DDEC Reports 7.01 DDEC reports is not installed with any version of Diagnostic Link, but is available on this CD at no additional
charge. This version of DDEC Reports supports all current production engines platforms. No registration is required.
When viewing the standard trip reports, users will notice that several new terms have been added that only apply to DDEC VI and DDEC10
equipped vehicles. An updated glossary of terms used in DDEC Reports can be found in the DDEC Reports help file or by printing out the DDEC
Reports Glossary from the CD menu.
DDEC Reports 7.01 uses both J-1708 and CAN messaging for communicating with the vehicle. You will connect through the vehicles 9-pin
diagnostic connector to extract data. All the translators that are designated to work with DDDL 7.06 in an earlier section of this document may be
used for DDEC Reports extractions as well.
