NOTE: Erratic operation of the truck may be caused
by defective controller components. Before

,
to determine corrective action to be

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the control-
ler. No attempt should be made to open the control-
ler. Opening the controller may damage it and will void
the warranty.
The controller is programmed at the factory specifi-
cally for the truck model on which it is equipped. It is
important to replace the controller with the correct
preprogrammed unit to assure proper performance
settings intended for that particular truck. See
Figure
4-1 for the preprogrammed controller number.
It is recommended that the controller exterior be
cleaned periodically, and if a hand held programmer is
available, this periodic cleaning provides a good
opportunity to check the controller ’s diagnostic
history file

It is also recommended that the con-
troller ’s fault detection circuitry be checked
whenever the vehicle is serviced.
