LBT-517 DD16 – Detroit Diesel Motor

Description

This course provides a comprehensive, technician-focused introduction to the Detroit DD16 engine, covering component identification, system operation, and diagnostic strategy. Students will learn how the DD16 functions as a complete system and how to efficiently diagnose faults using logical troubleshooting methods.

The curriculum combines hands-on training with real-world diagnostic scenarios. Students will perform overhead valve adjustments, use scan tools and voltmeters, interpret fault codes, and analyze CAN network data. Emphasis is placed on understanding how components fail, how to test them properly, and how to avoid overcomplicating diagnostics using proven strategies.

The course also covers the complete aftertreatment emissions system, including DOC, DPF, and SCR operation, along with common faults and regeneration strategies.
