1965 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 If it's a ddec I don't see how to fix it without a reader & trouble shoot guide; but if going to guess it possible it's not getting an oil pressure signal & shutting itself down Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45272-still-having-detroit-problems/#findComment-333792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy mckinney Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 It is ddec2 would no oil pressure shut starter down it doesn't fire starter quits first Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45272-still-having-detroit-problems/#findComment-333796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I wouldn't think so; I wouldn't think that would be engine related; I would be checking starter & wires seeing if loosing fire to solenoid 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45272-still-having-detroit-problems/#findComment-333815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 A DDEC does not have to see oil pressure to start and oil pressure has nothing to do with the starter.

miro Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Starter may have a thermal protection switch that is defective, try changing starter Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45272-still-having-detroit-problems/#findComment-333935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 My bad; I thought when I first read it was running & shutting down; didn't know what application it was in either; atlas-copco had bunch of air compressors with ddec 92's & they had shut downs on them; they would cranck & run & shut down Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45272-still-having-detroit-problems/#findComment-333940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 But it takes about 30 seconds for a low oil pressure event to go active.

Randy mckinney Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 The is in an e one junker firetruck rear engine it acts to me like a relay kickin out but to find it is going to be a chore it has fuse panels all over an none are marked if i jump directly at starter an it starts that should tell me i have a bad wire or relay somewere in the 3 mile long wire harness.
