PROBLEM
Show/hide table
| Engines were built and shipped with the wrong software (flashfile). The engines were inadvertantly shipped with a flash file that was designed for use in Low BSFC strategy and as such have noticeably higher emissions levels than the intended software. Flashing in the correct software flash file should result in the emissions output of the engines returning to the levels shown in DM4691 & DM7048 as found in TMI. One important note is that these engines are NOT certified, although their software was built with the same maps as the certified engines and should exhibit equivalent emissions performance. |
