VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT — ON-HIGHWAY
The Vehicle Control Unit (DDEC-VCU) is the interface between the DDEC-ECU and the truck
for engine control and manages other vehicle functions.
Figure 13-2
The Vehicle Control Unit
The OEM is responsible for mounting this part in a cab environment. The mounting bracket is the
responsibility of the OEM. There must be maximum physical separation of the vehicle Interface
harness (VIH) from other vehicle electrical systems. Other electrical system wires should ideally
be at least three feet away from the VIH and should not be parallel to the VIH. This will eliminate
coupling electromagnetic energy from other systems into the VIH.
