With this in mind, the diesel engine mechanics were mandated by the CARB to reduce the amount of NOx.
In this way, there were three major advancements impacting the engine emissions:
- (2004) Introduction of Exhaust Gas Recirculation Technology (EGR)
- (2007) Addition of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
- (2010) Introduction of Selective Catalytic Reduction System (SCR)
15. Telematics Remote Engine Diagnostic
As a result of the systems, the modernistic diesel engines are drastically cleaner than the engines that were actually on the road in the millennium.
But how the remote engine diagnostic work?
The modern trucks have nowadays the ability to generate thousands of different codes. Additionally, these codes are coming from the engine and the transmission controller, the brake controller etc.
