produce little boost while cruising at
light throttle, with maximum boost
while climbing hills heavily loaded
during acceleration. Note the boost
level seen during hard acceleration
with a given load. If performance
seems to have deteriorated sometime
in the future, the maximum boost
figures may be compared to see if
boost has dropped off. Lower boost
may be caused by turbo ducting
leaks, a malfunctioning wastegate or
fuel injection pump, or dirty air filter.
Typical maximum boost pressure
settings for the Dodge/cummins
diesel will vary considerably with
stick or automatic transmission
options, year model of vehicle and
altitude.
Use your pyrometer gauge (if
equipped) to monitor exhaust gas
temperature (EGT) in the engine. At
idle, exhaust gas temperature will
be very low, perhaps only 300°F. As
the engine is accelerated for higher
speeds with greater loads, the EGT
will rise. The highest EGT will be
seen under maximum load at full
throttle, such as climbing a steep
grade with a heavily laden vehicle.
Your pyrometer is color coded to
assist in your reading of the gauge.
The red zone indicates a dangerous
level of temperature. Your engine
should not operate in this range for
more than a few seconds. The blue
zone indicates when it is safe to shut
the engine off. To avoid heat damage
to various engine components it is
recommended that the exhaust gases
cool below 400º before the engine is
shut down.
Your OttoMind is calibrated to
maintain a maximum EGT of 1300°F.
You may experience brief excursions
slightly above 1300°F under
acceleration. This is normal and EGT
should return to at or below 1300°
within a few seconds. If you find that
EGT remains high for any length of
time, check for boost leaks or a dirty
air filter.
If you feel that your OttoMind is
not functioning properly, some
diagnostics can be performed. Your
OttoMind is equipped with diagnostic
features that will detect and display
certain errors. Remove the OttoMind
from its mounting location while
keeping all three connectors plugged
in. Turn vehicle key to ON position.
Observe the two LEDs mounted
on the upper corners of the black
connector on the end of the OttoMind.
If all wire connections are correct, a
steady green light is illuminated.
If a connection is incorrect or if there
is a problem with the system, when
the key is on the LEDs will flash in
sequence to identify a diagnostic
code. An OttoMind’s diagnostic code
is comprised of 2 digits. Each code
is expressed in a sequence of 2 sets
of the flashing red LED separated by
a brief flashing of the green LED in
between. Each set of a number of
red LED flashes represents a digit.
A longer flashing of the green LED
separates the sequences. The LEDs
will continue to flash to display all
the errors, and then repeat. Table
1
lists some common diagnostic codes.
For example, if an open EGT
thermocouple is detected (code 2-3)
by the OttoMind, the following red
and green LED flashing sequence is
observed when the key is on:
Diagnostic Code Code Description Course of Action

Faulty MAP signal check MAP connection
