Component Information LabelNOTE: Labels shown in this chapter are ex-amples only. Actual specifications may vary fromvehicle to vehicle.The component information label lists the vehiclemodel, identification number, and major componentmodels. It also lists the major assemblies and instal-lations shown on the chassis specification sheet.One copy of the component information label is at-tached to the inside of the glove box; another copy isinside the rear cover of the Owners Warranty Infor-mation for North America booklet. An illustration ofthe label is shown in Fig. 1.1.
Component GWR LabelThe component GWR label is located on thepassenger-side B-pillar. The label provides maximumGWR ratings for each component.See Fig. 1.2 for a typical component GWR label.
Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard LabelsNOTE: Due to the variety of Federal Motor Ve-hicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) certification re-quirements, not all of the labels shown will applyto your vehicle.Tractors with or without fifth wheels purchased in theU.S. are marked as certified by means of an FMVSScertification label. See Fig. 1.3. This label is attachedto the driver-side B-pillar, as shown in Fig. 1.4.
The tire and rim portion of the FMVSS certificationlabel certifies suitable tire and rim combinations thatcan be installed on the vehicle, for the given grossaxle weight rating. Tires and rims installed on thevehicle at the time of manufacture may have a higherload capacity than that certified by the tire and rimlabel. If the tires and rims currently on the vehiclehave a lower load capacity than that shown on thetire and rim label, then the tires and rims determinethe load limitations on each of the axles.Trucks built without a cargo body that are intendedfor service in the U.S. have an incomplete vehiclecertification label attached by the final-stage manu-facturer. See Fig. 1.5. This label will be attached tothe incomplete vehicle document included with thevehicle, and certifies that the vehicle conforms to allapplicable FMVSS regulations in effect on the date ofcompletion.
Canadian Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard LabelsIn Canada, tractors with fifth wheels are marked ascertified by means of a statement of compliance labelwith the Canadian National Safety Mark attached tothe driver-side door frame B-pillar. See Fig. 1.6.Trucks built without a cargo body and tractors builtwithout a fifth wheel that are intended for service inCanada have an incomplete vehicle certification labelattached to the driver-side B-pillar. After completionof the vehicle, a complete certification label must beattached by the final-stage manufacturer to certifythat the vehicle conforms to all applicable CanadaMotor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) regulationsin effect on the date of completion.
Emissions LabelsAftertreatment System IndicatorsLabelEngines and vehicles manufactured after December31, 2006 and domiciled in the U.S. or Canada arerequired to meet all EPA regulations effective as ofthe vehicle build date, and are equipped with anemission aftertreatment system (ATS). Vehicles do-miciled outside of the U.S. and Canada may nothave aftertreatment equipment, depending upon localstatutory emissions guidelines. See Table 1.1.

A warning label on the driver-side visor contains im-portant warning indicators in the instrument clusterthat pertain to the ATS. See Fig. 1.7 or Fig. 1.8.It is a violation of U.S. federal law to alter exhaustplumbing, ATS, or other components in any way thatwould bring the engine/vehicle out of compliance withcertification requirements [Ref: 42 U.S.C. S7522(a)(3)]. It is the owners responsibility to maintain thevehicle so that it conforms to EPA regulations.

Back-of-Cab AccessWARNING
External surfaces of the exhaust system remainhot after the engine has been shut down. Whenaccessing the back of the cab or sleeper, do nottouch any part of the exhaust system, or severeburns could occur.When trailer air and electrical connections cannot bereached conveniently from the ground, Federal MotorCarrier Safety Regulations require commercial carri-ers to provide back-of-cab access.Optional grab handles are mounted either on bothcab sidewalls, or on the left sidewall only. SeeFig. 2.7. Steps are mounted either on the fuel tank(s)or on metal brackets. When a deck plate is neces-sary, it is mounted across the top of the frame rails.IMPORTANT: Climb onto, and down from, back-of-cab access facing in toward the vehicle, asyou would on a ladder. Do not climb up or downfacing out away from the vehicle.
WARNINGWet or dirty shoe soles greatly increase thechance of slipping or falling. If your soles are wetor dirty, be especially careful when climbingonto, or leaving, the back-of-cab area.Always maintain three-point contact with theback-of-cab access supports while entering andexiting the back-of-cab area. Three-point contactmeans both feet and one hand, or both handsand one foot, on the grab handles, steps, anddeck plates. Other areas are not meant to sup-port back-of-cab access, and grabbing or step-ping in the wrong place could lead to a fall, andpersonal injury.

grab handle.4. Move one foot to the bottom step.5. Move your upper hand to a lower position on the
grab handle.6. Step to the ground with your upper foot first.
Hood Opening and ClosingA grab handle at the front of the hood provides ahand-hold for hood tilting. Two tilt-assist struts help totilt the hood open, and to return it to the operatingposition. A damper controls the closing rate of thehood and hood straps prevent the hood from over-travel. In the operating position, the hood is securedby a hold-down latch on each side of the hood.
To Tilt the Hood1. Apply the parking brakes.2. Release both hood hold-down latches by pulling
the ends outward.
CAUTIONDo not let the hood free-fall to the full-open posi-tion. To do so could cause damage to the hoodor hood straps.3. Using the bumper step and grab handle, slowly
tilt the hood until the straps support it. SeeFig. 2.8.
To Return the Hood1. Grasp the grab handle, and lift the hood a just-
over-center position.2. As the hood goes over center, the hood damper
controls the rate of descent to the operating posi-tion.
3. Make sure the hood is flush with the cowl, thensecure the hood by engaging both hood hold-down latches.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that both hold-downlatches are fully engaged before operating thevehicle.

Electrical Power DistributionElectrical power distribution provides battery power tothe electrical and electronic systems. See Fig. 3.1 forpower distribution component locations.The following components make up the power distri-bution system:
MEGA Fuse Junction Block (MFJB), EPA07only
Powertrain Power Distribution Module(PT-PDM)
Powernet Distribution Box (PNDB), EPA10 andnewer
Cab Load Disconnect Switch Auxiliary PDM
MEGA Fuse Junction Block, EPA07On EPA07 vehicles, the MFJB distributes batterypower to the alternator, SAM cab, SAM chassis, andpowertrain PDM. Battery power may also be routedto an inverter and a trailer PDM. The MFJB housesup to five MEGA fuses, and is located on the leftframe rail in front of the batteries. See Fig. 3.2.
Powernet Distribution Box, EPA10and NewerThe PNDB distributes battery power to the SAM cab,SAM chassis, powertrain PDM, and other keep-alivecircuits.The PNDB is mounted in the engine compartment onthe frontwall near the steering column. The label onthe PNDB fuse cover identifies typical circuits. SeeFig. 3.3.
Power Distribution ModulesPowertrain PDMThe powertrain PDM contains fuses and relays thatprovide battery and ignition power to the engine, af-tertreatment device, transmission, and otherpowertrain-related circuits. It is mounted in the en-gine compartment, above the driver-side innerfender.
Auxiliary PDMThe optional auxiliary PDM is used when additionalcircuit protection is needed for optional features. Forexample, if a beacon light is added to the Cascadia,it may require an auxiliary PDM. The auxiliary PDMmay contain fuses and relays for these devices. It ismounted in the cab, behind the doghouse cover.
Trailer PDMThe optional trailer PDM, mounted on the frame rail,is used to supply trailer power to the chassis-mounted trailer receptacles. The SAM chassis sup-plies control signals to the relays in the trailer PDM.
SAM CabThe SAM cab is located behind the glove box insidethe vehicle cab. See Fig. 3.4. The SAM cab containsfuses and relays in addition to solid state circuit pro-tection devices that will trip when a circuit is over-loaded.Refer to Chapter 25 for fuse and relay locations.
SAM ChassisThe SAM Chassis is located in the engine compart-ment on the driver-side frontwall. See Fig. 3.3. TheSAM chassis contains fuses and relays in addition tosolid state circuit protection devices that will tripwhen a circuit is overloaded.Refer to Chapter 25 for fuse and relay locations.
Circuit Protection FeaturesThe SAM chassis and SAM cab may be equippedwith self-resetting circuit breakers instead of fuses.Self-resetting circuit breakers are tripped when theyreach 170F (77C), then self-reset once the tem-perature drops sufficiently. When the circuit overloadis removed, this circuit protection will self-reset.Some of these circuits require the ignition switch tobe cycled off then back on again for the self-reset tooccur.
Some ECUs are equipped with a self-resetting circuitbreaker removal tool.
WARNINGAlways wear heat-protective gloves when han-dling a self-resetting circuit breakers, which can

reach extremely high temperatures. Failure to useappropriate heat protection can lead to seriousinjury.
NOTICESelf-resetting circuit breakers can be perma-nently damaged if improperly handled. Use theguidelines below to handle them safely.
Disconnect the batteries before removing aself-resetting circuit breaker.
Use a circuit breaker removal tool to remove aself-resetting circuit breaker. See Fig. 3.5. Useof any other tool, including pliers, may damagethe circuit breaker.
Never attempt to probe a self-resetting circuitbreaker while installed on the SAM Cab orSAM Chassis. Remove the circuit breaker first,or use a non-contact infrared thermometer tomeasure temperature.

Cab Load Disconnect Switch
WARNINGTurning the cab load disconnect switch (CLDS) tothe off position does not disconnect the connec-tion between the battery and the starter. To workon the vehicle safely, the negative leads must bedisconnected from the battery.IMPORTANT: The ignition should be turned offbefore turning the CLDS to on or off.The CLDS is used to avoid excessive draw on thebattery when the vehicle is parked for an extendedperiod of time by disconnecting (or opening) the con-nection between the battery and the most of the ve-hicle electrical system.The CLDS may be mounted:
inside the cab on the outboard side of the driv-ers seat;
at the battery box; outboard on the left frame rail.
See Fig. 3.6 for an EPA07 CLDS; see Fig. 3.7 for anEPA10 and newer switch.If the CLDS is turned to the off position while the ve-hicle is running, the emergency power system willactivate. The powertrain PDM will receive power fromthe emergency power feed, but the batteries will notbe charging. See the Emergency Power Supplyheading below for details.
Emergency Power SupplyThe Cascadia electrical system has an emergencypower circuit that supplies battery power for exteriorlighting. This assists vehicle visibility in the event aMEGA fuse is open circuit. The emergency powercircuit is live even when the CLDS is turned off.The emergency power supply feature allows for thevehicle to be driven off the highway and for the exte-rior lighting to remain on in the event of a SAM Cabor SAM Chassis failure. The emergency power sup-ply will cause certain exterior lamps to flash (depend-ing on if it is the SAM Cab or SAM Chassis thatfailed), indicating that the vehicle is disabled.

SAM Cab FaultIf the emergency power supply system activates, donot shut down the engine until the vehicle is in a safeposition to do so. It will not be able to be restarteduntil the problem is corrected. If emergency powermode is due to a SAM Cab fault, the gauges will be-come unresponsive but the engine will remain run-ning until it is turned off.When the ignition is in the ON position, the emer-gency power supply will cause the following lamps toflash:
dash panel lights clearance lights front marker lights side marker lights trailer taillights rear stop lights
SAM Chassis FaultThe engine may be able to be restarted when theSAM Chassis fails. When the ignition is in the ONposition, the emergency power supply will cause thefollowing lamps to flash:
dash panel lights
identification lights front marker lights turn-signal indicators in the ICU (alternately) side marker lights rear turn-signal lights trailer taillights
If the ignition switch is turned ON while the load dis-connect switch is in the OFF position, the emergencypower supply feature will activate the followinglamps:
clearance lights (flashing) side marker lamps (flashing) low beam headlights
Progressive Low VoltageDisconnectThe progressive low voltage disconnect (PLVD) fea-ture protects the batteries from excessive dischargeby disconnecting certain circuits from battery powersupply. This allows the batteries to maintain accept-able charge to restart the vehicle.When battery voltage drops below a predeterminedvalue, loads designated as comfort loads (priority

level I) are shut down first. Then loads designated ashouse loads (priority level II) are shut down. If neces-sary, basic loads (priority level III) are shut down last.PLVD allows the driver to continue using criticalloads, while noncritical loads are temporarily unavail-able. Calculations for disconnecting loads are basedon battery voltage, ignition switch status, and enginerpm. Also, a time delay is implemented for the shut-down and reactivation of loads to avoid unnecessarycycling of loads when battery voltage is close toshutdown thresholds.One minute before the comfort loads or house loadsare shut down, the alarm in the instrument cluster
beeps. No alarm sounds before basic loads are shutdown.If the interior lights have been shut down by PLVD,pressing one of the interior light switches (ifequipped) brings the interior lights back on.See Table 3.1 for the type of loads shut down underspecific conditions.See Table 3.2 for the loads that are designated com-fort, house, and basic load status.

Instrumentation Control UnitsThe instrumentation control unit (ICU) provides thedriver with engine and vehicle information. It is com-prised of standard and optional gauges, an audiblewarning, a driver message center, and a lightbar con-taining warning and indicator lamps (also known astelltales). Warning and indicator lamps illuminate inred (danger), amber (caution), green (status advi-sory), or blue (high-beam headlights active).Cascadia vehicles are equipped with an ICU3, ICU4,ICU4M, or ICU4Me. See Fig. 4.1, Fig. 4.2, andFig. 4.3 for typical ICU layouts.The following headings in this chapter provide addi-tional information and operating instructions for ICUcomponents:
"Warning and Indicator Lights" "Instruments"
"Driver Message Center"
Ignition SequenceWhen the ignition is turned on, the ICU runs a self-check. See Fig. 4.4. Observing the ignition sequenceis a good way to ensure the ICU is functioning prop-erly.IMPORTANT: Do not crank the engine until theICU self-check is complete.NOTE: Air gauges do not complete a sweep oftheir dials during the ignition sequence.When the ignition is turned on, the following actionsshould occur:

Engine Protection System
WARNINGWhen the red STOP engine lamp illuminates,most engines are programmed to shut down au-tomatically within 30 seconds. The driver mustimmediately move the vehicle to a safe locationat the side of the road to prevent causing a haz-ardous situation that could cause bodily injury,property damage, or severe damage to the en-gine.See Fig. 4.5 for an explanation of the aftertreatmentsystem (ATS) warning indicators, and actions re-quired to avoid further engine protection steps.The STOP engine lamp illuminates when the engineprotection system is activated in one of two ways. Onsome engines, the engine protection system will der-ate the engine, allowing it to run at lower rpm andslower vehicle speed. Drive the vehicle to a safe lo-cation or to a service facility.
IMPORTANT: Safely bring the vehicle to a stopon the side of the road and shut down the en-gine as soon as the red light is seen. If the en-gine shuts down while the vehicle is in a haz-ardous location, turn the key to the OFF positionfor a few seconds, then restart the engine andmove the vehicle to a safer location.On other engines, the engine protection system willshut down the engine. It will first derate the engine,then shut it down completely 30 to 60 seconds afterthe indicator illuminates (depending on the criticalfault type) if the condition does not improve. Bringthe vehicle to a stop on the side of the road beforethe engine shuts down.Some vehicles may have a shutdown-overrideswitch, which may be used to momentarily overridethe shutdown sequence. See Chapter 11 for detailedinformation regarding the shutdown process.IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to restart the en-gine while the vehicle is moving. Bring the ve-hicle to a safe stop, then restart the engine.To restart the engine, turn the ignition to OFF, leaveit there a few seconds, then turn the ignition to

They are listed here in alpha-betical order, to make the information easier to find.
Air Intake Restriction GaugeThe air intake restriction gauge indicates the vacuumon the engine side of the air cleaner. On standardinstallations, it is mounted on the air intake duct inthe engine compartment. As an option for easierviewing, the air intake restriction indicator (seeFig. 4.6) can be mounted on the dash, usually on theright-hand control panel.
NOTE: Rain or snow can wet the filter andcause a temporary high reading.Air intake restriction vacuum is measured in inchesof water (inH2O). For vehicles equipped with agraduated indicator or a restriction gauge on thedash, check the gauge with the engine off. If the yel-low signal stays locked in the red zone once the en-
gine is shut down, or is at or above the valuesshown in Table 4.2, the air cleaner element needs tobe replaced.Vehicles may be equipped with a go/no-go restrictionindicator without graduations (see Fig. 4.7) instead ofa graduated indicator.

During normal engine operation, the coolant tem-perature gauge should read 175 to 195F (79 to91C). If the temperature remains below 160F(71C), inspect the cooling system to determine thecause.
If coolant temperature rises above the maximumtemperature listed in Table 4.3, the CHECK enginelamp will illuminate. If the condition does not im-prove, the STOP engine lamp will also illuminate andan audible warning will sound. The engine will thenderate or shut down, depending on the type of en-gine protection system installed.

NOTICEA sudden increase in oil temperature that is notcaused by a load increase may indicate mechani-cal failure. Bring the vehicle to a safe stop andinvestigate the cause to prevent further damage.Do not operate the vehicle until the cause hasbeen determined and corrected.During normal operation, forward-rear and rear-rearaxle oil temperature gauges should read between:
160 to 220F (71 to 104C) for Meritor driveaxles;
180 to 200F (82 to 93C) for Dana Spicerdrive axles.
Under heavy loads, such as when climbing steepgrades, temperatures that exceed the normal oil tem-perature range for a short period are not unusual. Ifthe temperature returns to normal when the load de-creases, there is no problem.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
NOTICEA sudden decrease or absence of oil pressuremay indicate mechanical failure. Bring the vehicleto a safe stop and investigate the cause to pre-vent further damage. Do not operate the engineuntil the cause has been determined and cor-rected.The engine oil pressure gauge displays the currentengine oil pressure. If engine oil pressure falls belowthe minimum levels shown in Table 4.4, the CHECKengine lamp will illuminate. If the condition does notimprove, the STOP engine lamp will also illuminateand an audible warning will sound. The engine willthen derate or shut down, depending on the type ofengine protection system installed.

Under heavy loads, such as when climbing steepgrades, temperatures that exceed the normal oil tem-perature range for a short period are not unusual. Ifthe temperature returns to normal when the load de-creases, there is no problem.
Fuel Gauge, Pre-EPA10The fuel gauge indicates the level of fuel in the fueltank(s). A single fuel gauge is standard. If equippedwith an optional second fuel tank, each fuel tanklevel is indicated on a separate gauge.
Fuel/Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)Gauge, EPA10 and NewerFor engines that are EPA10-compliant or newer, thefuel and DEF levels are measured in a dual purposefuel/DEF level gauge. See Fig. 4.8.
The diesel fuel level is indicated at the top of thegauge, with a low-fuel warning lamp that illuminatesamber when the diesel fuel level registers 1/8th ofcapacity.The DEF level is indicated in the lightbar on thelower portion of the gauge. There is a low DEF levelwarning lamp that illuminates amber when the DEFlevel reaches 10% of capacity. See Chapter 12 fordetails of the DEF gauge functions.
Primary and Secondary Air PressureGauges
WARNINGIf air pressure falls below minimum pressure, thebraking ability of the vehicle will be limited. Slowthe vehicle down and bring it to a gradual stop.Do not attempt to move the vehicle until air pres-sure has risen above the minimum level. Movinga vehicle without adequate braking power couldcause an accident resulting in personal injury ordeath.Air pressure gauges register the pressure in the pri-mary and secondary air systems. Normal pressure,with the engine running, is 100 to 120 psi (689 to827 kPa) in both systems.A low-air-pressure warning light and audible alert,connected to both the primary and secondary sys-tems, activate when air pressure in either systemdrops below approximately 70 psi (483 kPa).When the engine is started, the warning light andaudible warning remain on until air pressure in bothsystems exceeds minimum pressure.
SpeedometerTwo speedometer options are available. The U.S.version of the speedometer registers speed in bothmiles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h),with mph in larger numbers. The metric version ofthe speedometer face reverses this arrangement,with km/h in larger numbers.
TachometerThe tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutionsper minute (rpm) and serves as a guide for shiftingthe transmission and keeping the engine in the ap-propriate rpm range. For low idle and rated rpm, seethe engine identification plate.
Transmission Fluid TemperatureGaugeThe transmission fluid temperature gauge indicatesthe transmission lubricant operating temperature.Temperatures vary by application, but the transmis-sion fluid temperature gauge reading should not ex-ceed 250F (121C).

NOTICEA sudden increase in transmission fluid tempera-ture that is not caused by a load increase mayindicate mechanical failure. Bring the vehicle to asafe stop and investigate the cause to preventfurther damage. Do not operate the vehicle untilthe cause has been determined and corrected.Under heavy loads, such as when climbing steepgrades, temperatures that exceed the normal oil tem-perature range for a short period are not unusual. Ifthe temperature returns to normal when the load de-creases, there is no problem.
Turbocharger Boost Pressure GaugeA turbocharger boost pressure gauge indicates thepressure in the intake manifold, in excess of atmos-pheric pressure, being created by the turbocharger.
VoltmeterThe voltmeter indicates the vehicle charging systemvoltage when the engine is running and the batteryvoltage when the engine is off. By monitoring thevoltmeter, the driver can stay aware of potential bat-tery charging problems and have them fixed beforethe batteries discharge enough to create starting diffi-culties. Cascadia vehicles are equipped with either avoltmeter gauge, or a digital voltmeter readout lo-cated on the bottom line of the dash message center.The voltmeter will normally show approximately 13.7to 14.1 volts when the engine is running. The voltageof a fully charged battery is 12.7 to 12.8 volts whenthe engine is off. Battery voltage under 12.0 volts isconsidered a low battery, and a completely dis-charged battery will produce only about 11.0 volts.If the voltmeter shows an undercharged or over-charged condition for an extended period, have thecharging system and batteries checked at an autho-rized Freightliner service facility.On a vehicle equipped with a battery isolator system,the voltmeter measures the average voltage of all thebatteries when the engine is running. When the en-gine is off, the voltmeter shows only the isolated bat-tery voltage and does not indicate the voltage of theengine-starting batteries.
Driver Message CenterICU3/ICU4The driver message center is controlled using themode/reset switch, located on the right side of theICU, and the + and buttons mounted in the right-hand pod of the steering wheel (Fig. 4.9).
