Service Program Modules Must Be Ordered By Literature Form Numbers
Usage:
3176 and 3406B (PEEC) Truck Engines
SPM's (Service Program Modules) used in the ECAP (Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer) and DDT's (Digital Diagnostic Tools) are now available as literature form numbers only. They must be ordered through the Dealer Literature ordering system. Some form numbers are subscriptions. No matter how many updates of the SPM are issued per year, the subscription fee will be the total cost for the year.
Those who registered their ECAP's and DDT's last spring were not automatically signed up for the subscription service. The only way to receive the latest SPM update is to order the appropriate literature form number.
