SAFETY INFORMATION
Advisory Labels
Cautionary signal words (Danger-Warning-Caution) may appear in various locations throughout this
manual. Information accented by one of these signal words must be observed to minimize the risk of
personal injury to service personnel, or the possibility of improper service methods which may damage
the vehicle or cause it to be unsafe. Additional Notes and Service Hints are used to emphasize areas of
procedural importance and provide suggestions for ease of repair. The following definitions indicate the
use of these advisory labels as they appear throughout the manual:
Activities associated with Danger indicate that death or serious personal

injury may result from failing to heed the advisory. Serious personal injury
may be equated to career-ending injury.
Activities associated with Warning indicate that personal injury may result
from failing to heed the advisory. In this case, personal injury is not equated to
career-ending injury, but results in possible change in quality of life.
Activities associated with Caution indicate that product damage may result from
failing to heed the advisory. Caution is not used for personal injury.
A procedure, practice, or condition that is essential to emphasize.
A helpful suggestion that will make it quicker and/or easier to perform a procedure,
while possibly reducing service cost.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Service Procedures and Tool Usage
Anyone using a service procedure or tool not recommended in this manual must first satisfy himself
thoroughly that neither his safety nor vehicle safety will be jeopardized by the service method he selects.
Individuals deviating in any manner from the instructions provided assume all risks of consequential
personal injury or damage to equipment involved.
Also note that particular service procedures may require the use of a special tool(s) designed for a
specific purpose. These special tools must be used in the manner described, whenever specified in the
instructions.
1. Before starting a vehicle, always be seated in the driver’s seat, place the
transmission in neutral, be sure that parking brakes are set, and
disengage the clutch.
2. Before working on a vehicle, place the transmission in neutral, set the
parking brakes, and block the wheels.
3. Before towing the vehicle, place the transmission in neutral and lift the
rear wheels off the ground, or disconnect the driveline to avoid damage to
the transmission during towing.
Engine-driven components such as Power Take-Off (PTO) units, fans and fan
belts, driveshafts and other related rotating assemblies, can be very
dangerous. Do not work on or service engine-driven components unless the
engine is shut down. Always keep body parts and loose clothing out of range
of these powerful components to prevent serious personal injury. Be aware of
PTO engagement or nonengagement status. Always disengage the PTO when
not in use.
Do not work under a vehicle that is supported only by a hydraulic jack. The
hydraulic jack could fail suddenly and unexpectedly, resulting in severe
personal injury or death. Always use jackstands of adequate capacity to
support the weight of the vehicle.
REMEMBER,
SAFETY . . . IS NO ACCIDENT!

The Fault Reporter can log faults from the
transmission controller, ABS, Vorad, Qualcomm
and the Engine and Vehicle ECUs. Four
registers, or “buckets,” of memory, are available
to log faults. The first bucket holds the most
recent fault.
Fault Reporter will not always log the most recent

fault because of active time limits and the fact
that times can vary between buckets. For
example, if a fault comes in and all the buckets
are in use, the fault will be dropped. The active
faults must become inactive by clearing the Fault

may be too sensitive for some drivers or applications. This governor has a more
direct or proportional response to the throttle pedal; it uses the throttle pedal
position to control engine power. If the pedal is depressed halfway, the engine
will deliver 50% of the power. If the pedal is depressed another 10%, it will

Calibration
This test aids in determining whether boost pressure or power complaints are
due to incorrect calibration.
To use the VGT vane position calibration, the engine must be off, the ignition
key turned to the ON position, and the coolant temperature above 140°F.
Primary and secondary air pressure must be at least 110 psi. The actuator
requires 95 psi to reach 100% vane position.

THE DATA FILE EXTENSION
Each data file has a name and is recognized by
its file extension, or the last three characters that
are separated by a period. For example, the
familiar Word document file extension is always
identified by “.doc.”
For MACK programming files, the file extension

reflects the type of data file it is and the ECU it is
associated with. For example, the V-MAC III class
8 vehicle programming data file is always
identified by “.rfv,” or reprogramming file, for
vehicle.
Below are data file extension tables for V-MAC

class 8 vehicles. Use these tables to identify files
when saving customer data or downloading,
programming and uploading from and to the
MACK database.

V-MAC Dealer Programming Phases DEALER PROGRAMMING
Both product software programming and data file SOFTWARE COMPUTER
programming involve phases. REQUIREMENTS
Programming with Dealer Programming Software
PRODUCT SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING (PSP) has two requirements:
Reprogramming a product software file involves r V-MAC Online access (via MACKnet)
two distinct phases:
r V-MAC support software for Windows
1. The first phase is downloading. (current version)
Downloading is receiving a product software
file from the MACK database and For other computer requirements, please refer to
transferring the file to your PC using V-MAC “SOFTWARE INSTALLATION SPECIAL TOOLS
Online. AND EQUIPMENT” on page 8.
2. The second phase is programming.
Programming (flashing) is loading a product
software file that was downloaded from the
MACK database into the ECU using V-MAC
Dealer Programming software.
DATA FILE PROGRAMMING (MDP)

Reprogramming a data file is similar to product
software programming, but involves three distinct
phases:
1. The first phase is downloading.
Downloading is receiving a data file from the
MACK database and transferring the file to
your PC using V-MAC Online.
2. The second phase is programming.
Programming is loading a data file that was
downloaded from the MACK database into
the ECU using V-MAC Dealer Programming
software.
3. The third phase is uploading.
Uploading is transferring a verification data
file (created during programming with
V-MAC Dealer Programming software) from
your PC to the MACK database using
V-MAC Online.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Overview of Basic Programming Steps
1. Determine which type of programming is needed (refer to the “SUMMARY OF PROGRAMMING
TYPES” table on page 142).
2. Identify and photocopy the appropriate worksheet (refer to the “WORKSHEET IDENTIFICATION”
table on page 143).
3. Perform each of the procedures for the specific programming type. Most worksheet items include
references for detailed procedures that more fully explain how to complete a programming step.
These “Detailed Programming Instructions” should only be used in conjunction with an appropriate
worksheet (refer to “Detailed Programming Instructions” on page 145).
If the vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Information Profiler (V.I.P.™) display, the
V.I.P.™ may beep during programming and display the following message: “A loss of
communication on the J1587”. Disregard the message and acknowledge it only
when the programming is complete to prevent the V.I.P.™ from beeping again.
STEP 1 — DETERMINING THE PROGRAMMING TYPE

Refer to the following chart to determine the type of programming.
SUMMARY OF PROGRAMMING TYPES

Type Description of Programming Action File(s) to Download
T1 Verifying/reprogramming ECU data file(s) Reprogramming data file(s) — same version
T2 Replacing defective ECUs with the same P/N Reprogramming data file(s) — same version
T3 Erasing customer passwords Reprogramming data file(s) — same version
T4 Programming after F3 update Reprogramming data file(s) — same version
T5 Programming after HP change EECU reprogramming data file — new version
T6 Programming with new data file(s) Reprogramming data file(s) — new version
T7 Reprogramming ECU software file(s) Product software file(s) — same version
Reprogramming V.I.P.™ software file Reprogramming data file(s) — same version (does not
apply to V.I.P.™)
T8 Upgrading ECU software file(s) Product software file(s) — new version
Reprogramming data file(s) — new version
T9 Reprogramming CDS-EXT file(s) Reprogramming data file(s) — new version
The software will automatically run a comparison check for Type 1 and 4 through 6.
However, in the case of VECU CDS-EXT file, the comparison checking may not be
accurate; therefore, don’t rely on data comparison for the VECU.
