FEATURES
Detonation Elimination Technology (DET)
The DET system prevents damage to the engine from detonation by
going into an engine protection mode whenever the DET system is
active. Depending on the level of detonation encountered, the check
engine light could be solid, it could flicker or it could flash steadily.
When excessive detonation is detected,
the check engine light will come on solid,
or it may flicker, and you may notice
decreased engine performance and RPM
when the DET system is activated. In
most cases this is temporary and the oper-
ator does not need to take any action. The
engine will return to its normal perfor-
mance automatically.
If severe detonation occurs, the check engine light will begin to flash
steadily and the gauge indicator will read “dET” (see illustration). The
engine will enter a limp home mode and RPM will be limited to 6500
RPM. The engine will remain in this mode until it is shut down and
restarted.
The most likely causes of severe detonation are outlined in the trouble-
shooting table below.
