INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Figure 1 Diamond Logic Builder
In 2001, Navistar, Inc, formerly known as International Truck and Engine Corporation, introduced the industry’s
first high performance trucks. With this introduction, a very innovative and flexible electrical system employing
multiplexing technology was introduced. The system is standard on all high performance trucks and several
bus models. In addition, there are many options that can be ordered and / or added to the vehicle in the field.
The Diamond Logic® Builder (DLB) software combines the feature creation, programming and diagnostic
functions for the end user. This Diamond Logic® Builder User’s Manual describes the software in detail and
shows how to use it to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the industry’s first high performance truck’s
electrical system integration.

INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS MULTIPLEXING?
Multiplexing is the concept of transmitting multiple unique electronic signals over a much smaller number
of wires. Vehicular applications of multiplexing technology typically use just two wires for this function.
Multiplexing allows these two wires to carry electronic data that can control a variety of electronic equipment.
The number of wires needed to connect components is greatly reduced, which offers better reliability and
improved vehicle uptime. Although limited multiplexing had been used previously by Navistar, the introduction
of the industry’s first high performance trucks has fully exploited this technology.
COMPONENTS OF THE MULTIPLEXING SYSTEM

The multiplexed electrical system consists of the following standard or optional components:
• Body Controller / Electrical System Controller

• Remote Power Module(s)
• Remote Air Solenoid Module(s)
• Electronic Gauge Cluster
• Switch Packs
• Light Control Module (LCM)
• HVAC Controls
• Engine Controls
• Transmission Controls
• Antilock Brake Module
• Other modules, connected to a Data Link, supported by DLB
2
INTRODUCTION
Body Control Module (BCM)
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a body systems computer used to control many of the vehicle's electrical
functions. It is the heart of the multiplex system. When installed on trucks, all BCMs are located under
instrument panel. On bus applications, they are mounted to the underside of the dash.
The BCM receives inputs from driver controls, sensors, and switches providing outputs to vehicle loads,
gauges, relays, and remotely mounted modules. Software to control a vehicle’s specific electrical / electronic
features and components is programmed into the ESC / BC using a computer and the Diamond Logic®
Builder Fleet program.
Navistar has released three different generations of the BCM (Figure 2).
1. Electronic System Controller 3. Generation 4 Body Control Module

(ESC) (BCM)
2. Generation 2 Body Control Module
(BCM)
Figure 2 Three Generations of Body Control Module (BCM)
NOTE – The BCM is commonly referred to as the Body Controller, Vehicle Control Module (VCM),
Electronic System Controller, as well as the Body Control Module.

INTRODUCTION
Remote Power Module (RPM)
Remote Power Modules serve as gateways into Navistar’s electrical system. Body Controller / ESC
programming allows modules to be programmed to control many different types of added body equipment.
The base package for integration includes a module, which contains six 20-amp outputs, for controlling lights
or other loads required for a vehicle’s application (up to 80 amps total). Remote power modules may be
controlled using pre-engineered features from Navistar or special customer developed features created using
Advanced Logic in the Diamond Logic® Builder program. Remote Power Modules also include six inputs that
can provide remote switching and feedback capability.
1. J4 output connector 4. Resistor

2. Remote power module 5. Body data link controller

INTRODUCTION
Remote Air Solenoid Module (RASM or MSVA)
Through the development of a family of Remote Air Solenoid Modules, air accessory devices such as horns,
PTOs, sliding fifth wheel locks, suspensions, transfer cases, differential locks, power divider locks, auxiliary
transmissions, and two-speed axles and more can be controlled by electric in-cab switches. Currently,
there are two types of Remote Air Modules, a seven-channel and a four-channel version. Both are factory
installed with in-cab switches.
NOTE – The seven-channel module is not available in post-2007 vehicles.

INTRODUCTION
Electronic Gauge Cluster (EGC)
Located in the instrument panel, the Electronic Gauge Cluster includes the instrument gauges, warning
indicators, and an LCD digital display, which provide odometer, transmission gear indication, compass
heading, and outside temperature displays. The instrument cluster displays the crucial operational functions
of the vehicle. The number of gauges and their placement can vary depending on the options selected. An
audible alarm can be programmed in DLB to sound when certain gauge values read out of range.
The cluster’s gauges are controlled by the BCM via the J1939 Data Link.
Figure 6 Base Instrument Cluster
The Base Instrument Cluster displays numerous functions, alerts, and indicators through analog gauges,
indicators, and an information LED screen. Depending on the cluster configuration that is selected, there can
be six to eight analog gauges in the instrument cluster that provide information to the operator. The Base
Instrument Cluster is available on 2017 and later International® vehicles.
An LED screen is located in the middle of the cluster that displays vital information to the operator. A push
button, located on the right, is used to scroll through the various menus.

INTRODUCTION
Figure 7 Premium Instrument Cluster
The Premium Instrument Cluster is an upscale version of the EGC that displays numerous functions, alerts,
and indicators through analog gauges, indicators, and an information LCD screen. Depending on the cluster
configuration that is selected, there can be six to eight analog gauges in the instrument cluster that provide
information to the operator.
The Premium Instrument Cluster utilizes a 5-in LCD screen, located between the tachometer and speedometer.
There are various menus that can be navigated through using the Cluster Display Control (CDC) on the
instrument panel to the lower right of the Instrument Cluster. A toggle joystick allows the operator to scroll
through various menus, and when pressed, a selection is made. The back button, represented by an arrow,
can be used to return to previous menus and screens.

INTRODUCTION
Rocker Switch Packs
The Rocker Switch Packs are provided in 6-switch and 12-switch modules. Commonly found in the center
panel, they are used to control loads such as fog lights, heated mirrors, and Power Take Off (PTO) options.
Diamond Logic® Builder software makes it easy to move and relocate switches.
Figure 8 Rocker Switch Pack 2007–2016 (Typical)
When multiple switch packs are utilized, they are daisy-chained together to eliminate excess wiring. Switch
actuators control what signals are sent from the Switch Pack.
On vehicles built between 2007 and 2016, the switch pack communicates on the switch data link. Switch
packs on these vehicles have a GREEN Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator that provides the operator with
information on the load and switch status.
On vehicles built in 2017 or later, the Switch Pack(s) communicate on the Human Machine Interface (HMI)
data link. These switch packs have an LED indicator with 7 different color options. The color of the LED is
dependent on the programmed feature code of the switch or the custom logic that is assigned to the switch.

INTRODUCTION
HVAC Controls
An electronic module located in the center of the instrument panel controls the HVAC system. The HVAC
controls eliminate complexity by controlling functions such as the air temperature and air outlet selection
with electronic motors.
Figure 10 Two Examples of HVAC Control Panels
Engine Control System
The engine control module shares engine information such as RPM, vehicle speed, water temperature, and oil
temperature with any component connected to the data link that requires the information. The engine also
receives commands for cruise control, clutch and brake status, and engine fan control from the ESC / BCM.
Electronic Transmission Controls
The transmission controller communicates gear position, transmission oil temperature, and warning light status
with the electronic gauge cluster on the drive train J1939 Data Link.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System prevents wheel lock-up during vehicle braking events. The system communicates
with the ESC / BCM and the engine controller to limit engine torque, disable retarders, and control the ABS,
ATC and trailer ABS warning lamps in the electronic gauge cluster.

Graph Sub-Tab
While in Diagnostic Mode, the Graph sub-tab allows you to view signals that are being “watched” in a
graphical format.
These graphs can be saved for future review.
NOTE – The graphing feature is seldom used as there are other places, connector views, and signal
views where you can watch signal interaction. Setting, arming and using triggers to start and stop
graphs requires some practice.
To select the signals to be graphed, open the ESC Signals tab and click the eyelid icon for each desired signal.
The icon will change to an open eye for signals that have been selected.
Select only the required signals. Viewing too many signals on a graph will make it difficult to distinguish
between them. If it is necessary to deselect a signal, simply click the open eye icon.

Types of Errors (What Do They Mean?)
Listed below are some examples of error messages and what causes them:
• Feature xxxxxx and Feature xxxxxx conflict – This error is generated when attempting to add two
features that conflict with one another. For example, if the user tries to add 595259 (a feature for normally
closed solenoids) and feature 595297 (a feature for normally open solenoids), this will generate the error
shown below because the two different types of air solenoids cannot be used at the same time.
Figure 99 Feature xxxxxx and Feature xxxxxx Conflict Message
• XXXX value required by feature XXXXXX isn’t provided – This error is generated when
parameters that are required by a feature are missing. For example, this error will be
generated if the user tries to add 595179 (ESC / BC Programming for PTO) without adding
a feature that would indicate what type of PTO will be used.
When you add a feature (for example, 595252 – Electric over Air, Non Clutched) that contains
the parameters required by 595179, the error message will clear.

CREATING AND APPLYING A TEMPLATE

A template is a separate file that captures and stores vehicle configuration changes that have been performed
using the Diamond Logic ® Builder software. These changes can be any of the following:
• Adding / Deleting 595XXX or 597XXX Features

• Changing Programmable Parameters
• Moving Pin, Switch or Gauge Locations
• Adding or Modifying Advanced Logic Blocks
A template is a programming guide that summarizes the features and parameter settings that are to be
applied to a vehicle configuration. The template can be loaded to a vehicle and can be saved for future use
on additional vehicles. Once a template is saved it can be exported or emailed just like any other data file.
Multiple templates can be applied to a vehicle or a series of vehicles.
IMPORTANT – Use only one template per vehicle. Using multiple templates per vehicle may cause
a programming error.
There are two options available for creating a template:
• Creating a New Template from Scratch

• Modifying a Copy of an Existing Template
103
CREATING A NEW TEMPLATE FROM SCRATCH

1. In the Menu Bar, select File > New. The New Template window appears.
Figure 109 New Template Window
2. In the VIN box, enter a name for this template.
3. For each module to be added to the template:

a. In the drop-down to the left of the Add button, select the module to be added. The options for the
selected module will now be listed in the table below the drop-down.
b. Select the desired value for each listed option.
c. Click Add to add the selected module to the list in the upper portion of the window.
4. Once all desired modules have been added to the list, click OK to create the template.
The new template should now be listed on the Select tab.

105
Figure 112 New Template Listed on Select Tab
On the Select tab, templates will have a GREEN check in the Template column.
TEMPLATE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT – It is extremely important to save and backup copies of all templates created or changed.
Navistar does not store or retrieve templates. Until the templates are applied to a vehicle and the
vehicle is programmed, they are just templates on your computer. Navistar only tracks vehicle
information that has been programmed into a vehicle.
IMPORTANT – It is highly recommended that the vehicle configuration be printed whenever

modifications are made to a VIN. These modifications include (but are not limited to): adding, deleting,
moving, or modifying switches, features, advanced logic, or outputs / inputs on the connectors.
The printed vehicle configuration should be stored with the vehicle for future reference in diagnostics, repair,
and modification or reprogramming.

PROGRAMMING A VEHICLE
OVERVIEW
The vehicle program is made up of the following discrete software components:
• Base Kernel Program

• Configuration Program, consisting of Features and Logic Blocks
• Programmable Parameter file
If the kernel program on the vehicle already contains the latest version available from Navistar, only the
configuration file and programmable parameters would be loaded into the vehicle.
Only VIN files may be programmed into a vehicle. Templates must be applied to a VIN file, saved, and then the
updated VIN file may be programmed into the vehicle.
NOTE – Prior to attempting to program the ESC / BCM, ensure that the battery is charged to a least 13
volts and the dome light or park lights are on.
NOTE – Key must be ON when the programming includes updating the Light control Module or Switch
Pack modules.
1. Connect the vehicle to the computer using an interface cable.
Figure 140 Computer Link Icon
2. Click the Computer Link icon in the toolbar.
3. Verify that the connection is established by checking the icon in the lower-right corner of the window. This
icon should show that the vehicle is connected.
Figure 141 Computer Link Connected
NOTE – If you are programming a replacement ESC / BCM, a message will appear warning that the
ESC / BCM serial number of the Selected ESC / BCM and the Detected ESC / BCM do not match.
125
4. Click OK to allow DLB to change the serial number on the selected VIN. This will marry the new ESC /
BCM serial number to the ESC / BCM and update the VIN database in the Navistar system.
Figure 142 Program Icon
5. Click the Program icon in the toolbar.
Figure 143 Programming Status
The system will load the VIN configuration file into the vehicle. The status bar will display the slider bar
showing programming status.
NOTE – Do not interrupt while the program is loading.
6. Once all required sections of the VIN configuration files are loaded, the status bar will indicate that the
system is resetting. The vehicle is now programmed.
Figure 144 Status Column Empty
Notice that the Status column is now empty for the programmed vehicle.
After a vehicle has been programmed, the user must connect to the Internet and launch the Diamond Logic®
Builder software. Connecting to the Internet will allow the Diamond Logic® Builder program to save the revised
VIN configuration file in the archive at Navistar. For this reason, Navistar suggests making a connection to
the Internet at least once a day if the user has programmed a vehicle.
NOTE – It is highly recommended that you print the vehicle configuration whenever modifications are
made. These modifications include (but are not limited to): adding, deleting, moving, or modifying
switches, features, advanced logic, or outputs / inputs on the connectors.

DIAGNOSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH DIAMOND LOGIC®

BUILDER
The Diamond Logic® Builder software can be used to aid in diagnosing and troubleshooting electrical / electronic
system problems. Before proceeding with diagnosing and troubleshooting, there are several important steps:
• Verify the Problem – Operate the complete system and list all symptoms. Is the complaint
due to misunderstood, customer-selected, programmed parameters?
• Gather Information – What happened and when? Under what conditions? When did the
symptoms begin? What else occurred at the time?
• Check Diagnostic Trouble Codes – Do the logged codes correlate to the symptoms and
probable causes? Were the codes logged repeatedly?
• Perform Preliminary Checks – Perform a thorough visual inspection. Are any wires loose
or corroded? Are there damaged connectors or pins? Are all components installed and
installed correctly? Check to make sure the vehicle batteries are at 75% state of charge or
higher. Make sure indicator lights are not simply burned out.
• Check References – Check all relevant service information including circuit diagrams and diagnostic charts.
ENTERING DIAGNOSTIC MODE

When diagnosing a vehicle using the Diamond Logic® Builder software, the first step is to connect the
system to the vehicle:
Figure 149 Select Tab
1. On the Select tab, select the vehicle to be diagnosed.
Figure 150 Computer Link Icon
2. In the toolbar, click the Computer Link icon.
130
3. Verify that the connection is established by checking the icon in the lower-right corner of the window. This
icon should show that the vehicle is connected.
Figure 151 Computer Link Icon, Connected
4. In the toolbar, click the Diagnostic Mode icon.
When Diagnostic Mode is ON, the icon appears indented in the toolbar.
Figure 153 Diagnostic Mode Icon, ON
131
USING THE SIGNALS TAB TO DIAGNOSE ISSUES

When the Diagnostic Mode is started, an extra data column is added to the Signals tab and the Advanced
Logic tab. This column is labeled Lock. The Watch and Lock columns are essential in performing diagnostic
troubleshooting. The Watch Column appears as a closed eyelid. Single clicking on the closed eyelid changes
it to an open eye. This enables the signal for diagnosis in real time. The value of the signal may be viewed in
the Value column.
If any of these columns are not visible:
1. Right-click on any of the column headings. This produces a menu that lists all the columns that
may be displayed in the table.
2. Ensure that the Custom Signal, Signal, Pins, Value, Unit, Status, Watch, and Lock columns are
turned on (checked) as a minimum. If desired, other columns may be checked as well.
Figure 154 Signals Tab with Columns Appropriate for Diagnostics
132
Using Make Session to Select WATCHED Signals
Clicking Make Session on the Features tab will open a Signals tab session that displays the signals related
to the selected feature.
1. Select the Features tab.
Figure 155 Features Tab
2. Select (click) the feature whose signals you want to watch.
3. Click Make Session to open the Signals tab with the Watched sub-tab selected. The signals that apply
to the selected feature will be listed.
133
Figure 156 Watched Sub-Tab
4. If desired, add additional signals by doing the following:

a. Select the ESC Signals sub-tab.
b. Click the eye icon for each additional signal you want to watch.
134
Using Signal Status while Diagnosing
Each signal in the Diamond Logic® electrical system has an associated Status or health. A Status value of
zero indicates a good signal status. Any other value for status indicates that the signal health is bad and will
not be used by the program logic. When troubleshooting, it is essential that the user inspect the Status of
system signals being tested to ensure that they have a value of zero. If any of the values are greater than
zero, then go to the Faults tab and look for diagnostic trouble codes.
NOTE – Many signals that have bad status, such as the HVAC thermistors, no longer have related fault
codes.
To quickly find signals that the user wishes to watch:
1. On the Signals tab or the My Variable panel of the Advanced Logic tab, click the Filter button on the
left end of the table heading.
Figure 157 Find Window
2. Enter the word or words to search for.
3. Click OK.
By observing the data in the Value column, the user can monitor the value of selected signals. ON / OFF
signals are represented by a check box where the signal is ON when the box is checked. Also observe the
Unit column to see the unit of measure associated with the signal value.
Figure 158 Observe the Value and Unit Columns
135
Forcing Signal Values
In addition to monitoring signal values, the user can also force signals to a predetermined value. For example,
the Accessory signal can be forced ON or OFF just by checking or unchecking the box in the value column
on the Accessory line. The accessory voltage is not actually being forced ON or OFF, but from an ESC
/ BC programming logic standpoint it is. Therefore, all the features or Advanced Ladder Logic that use the
Accessory signal will respond according to the ON / OFF state of Accessory.
Once a signal is forced to a new value, the Lock icon in the lock column will show as locked. When locked,
changes by external inputs such as switches or sensors will be ignored.
To restore the signal to an unlocked condition, click on the Lock icon; now the signal will respond to normal
system inputs and outputs. Alternately, unlock all locks by taking the DLB software out of Diagnostic Mode.
You will have to return to Diagnostic Mode to continue diagnosing.
136
Signals and Custom Logic
It is also possible to examine Custom Signals and Ladder Logic on the Signals tab. An example is shown in
the figure below.
Figure 159 Custom Values and Ladder Logic
137
In the first Ladder Logic rung, there is SW_1 and a Park_brake; SW_1 is off as indicated in the grayed area. In
the signal listing, clicking the SW_1 Value check box turns on the switch.
Figure 160 SW_1 Switch is ON
138
USING THE CONNECTORS TAB TO DIAGNOSE ISSUES

Signal values that are present on physical pins of various electrical modules can be observed by selecting the
Connectors tab. Note that there is a tab for each module. Use the connector view to help isolate the problem.
The connector views provide the ability to monitor system values without the use of breakout boxes. Scaled
voltages, temperatures, and pressures are presented for analog voltages and checkboxes are provided for
ON / OFF values.
Figure 161 Connectors Tab
On the Connectors tab, you can observe the state of each input and output from the ESC / BC and each RPM
and MSVA. You can also override each input and output.
139
To view individual inputs and outputs:
1. Select the sub-tab for the module that you wish to view. The sub-tab displays an image of the
module and its connectors on the left.
2. Select a connector in the image on the left by clicking on it. The selected connector becomes
shaded in gray and is displayed on the right.
Figure 162 Selected Connector Displayed on Right
140
RPM Output Connector VIew
The figure below shows the output connector for RPM 1. To select an output, click on its name. The selected
name and the corresponding pin in the connector drawing will appear highlighted in YELLOW. Selecting an
output in this way will also automatically select this output in the Signals tab. This is very helpful if you are not
sure of the feature code that controls a particular RPM output. To turn off the YELLOW highlight, hold down
the Ctrl key while selecting an output.
Figure 163 RPM Output Connector View, Outputs on Right (Typical)
Several pieces of information are displayed for each output: (Refer to figure above for numbered items.)
Item Description
1 Cavity pin numbers (shown in brackets)
2 Entering a voltage here sets the value of this output to the entered value.
3 The lock icon is used to lock and unlock the output to the value entered to the left (Item 2). When
locked, no other signal can drive that output. (When unlocked, a blank space appears here. Click
the blank space to lock the output.)
NOTE – If you are having trouble with outputs not turning ON or OFF as expected, check to
make sure those outputs are unlocked.
4 The current level (in Amps) that this output must reach in order to trigger the virtual fuse configured
for this output. The default is 20.
5 The name assigned by the feature that is using this output.
NOTE – A bold output name would indicate that a custom name has been assigned to this
signal by advanced logic.
141
Information about the outputs on the left of the connector are displayed in roughly the opposite order.
Figure 164 RPM Output Connector View, Outputs on Left (Typical)

RPM Input Connector View
Input connectors, like the example shown below, are represented in a similar manner as output connectors,
with some minor differences.
Figure 165 RPM Input Connector View (Typical)
Each pin of an input connector can be programmed in the ESC / BC to respond to either a 12V signal or
a ground signal.
The lock works the same as it does on the output connector.
The input connector will also show the addressing; note the jumper wire between pins 1 and 2. Jumper wires
on the input connector determine how an RPM is addressed. Addressing is extremely important. RPM
input connectors should not be moved around. Doing so will move all inputs and outputs programmed
to that particular RPM.
142
DIAGNOSTICS ON THE ADVANCED LOGIC TAB

Diagnostics Sub-Tab
The Diagnostics sub-tab allows the Advanced Logic writer to provide information regarding the advanced
logic. If such documentation has been provided on this sub-tab, it may contain valuable information for
diagnosing the advanced logic.
Ladder Logic Sub-Tab
Diagnostics in the ladder view are simple and straightforward:
1. Connect to the truck.
2. Enter Diagnostics Mode.
3. Select the Advanced Logic tab. On this tab, GRAY OFF or BROWN question mark shadow blocks will
be seen over most items. BROWN shadow blocks indicate items that the present state cannot be
determined. On the right of the window, you will see the tabs that contain all the signals that can be
used in advanced logic.
4. At this point, you can observe actual signals received from the truck.
For example: while hooked up to the vehicle, in Diagnostic Mode and on the Advanced tab, you can observe
the actions on the vehicle. The figure below (Figure 166) shows an advanced block with a switch in the first
rung of the ladder logic. There are two ways of testing to ensure the vehicle is working properly. The first is to
actually activate the switch in the vehicle and watch for the outcome on the screen. The second is to override
the switch and click the checkbox in the value column on the right of the screen. Clicking the checkbox is the
way to test out the advanced logic in the simulate mode. This tells the ESC / BC to ignore the switch state
and activate the circuit regardless of switch location
Figure 166 Advanced Logic Block with a Switch in the First Rung
143
The next figure shows the same view with the switch in the up position. Notice on the left side of the window,
the graphic display shows that the switch and corresponding outputs are now in the ON position. The right side
of the screen now has checkmarks in the items that have been set to ON. Returning the switch to the OFF
position will once again turn OFF the switch and the switch outputs.
Figure 167 Switch in First Run is Now ON
Each of these techniques has value. For items such as switches and the park brake, it is very easy to either
turn them ON or OFF. However, for items such as intermediate variables created in the ladder logic and RPM
input signals, the value column is an excellent option. This overrides the vehicle signal. By observing the
reaction of the logic rung, you can diagnose the vehicle. If all the items on the left side of the logic block are
properly set, the value on the right should be either ON or OFF. If the contact, light, or output indicator is on in
the Diagnostics tab, then the output should also be on; if not, check for a fault code in the Faults tab.
144
DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CENTER PANEL TAB

In Diagnostics Mode, the Center Panel tab displays images of the switches. A YELLOW line represents the
multiplex data link tying the switch packs together. Arrows indicate the current switch setting of each switch.
When the state of the actual switch is changed, the arrows and images will change and indicate the new state.
Diamond Logic® Builder can override switches.
When Diamond Logic® Builder is used to cycle switches, the arrows and images will change, indicating the new
state. Additionally, the padlock icon will appear, indicating a locked condition.
Figure 168 Center Panel Tab
145
To override a switch, either left-click on the desired switch setting or right-click on the switch and select a
desired setting from the right-click menu.
Figure 169 Switch Right-Click Menu
Clicking the top portion of the switch will activate that switch output and the arrow will move to the up position.
This overrides the switch and allows you to determine if there is a switch problem.
Figure 170 Switch in ON Position, with Lock
The padlock, which appears on a switch, allows you to lock that signal in any of the switch’s valid positions.
Click on the lock to remove it.
When diagnosing switches, it is important to remember a few facts:
• The switch rocker is nothing more than a pair of plungers. When a switch is pushed, it pushes
one of the two plungers in and contacts a micro switch in the switch pack.
• Each switch location has two micro switches. The switch can be in 1 of 3 valid states; micro switch
1 is depressed, micro switch 2 is depressed, or neither micro switch is depressed.
• When diagnosing a switch by checking the box in the Signals tab, the Features tab, or the Advanced Logic
tab (while in either Diagnostic Mode or Simulate Mode), you must select the switch position you want, such
as the switch up position. You must also make sure that the switch middle and switch down boxes are not
checked. If you have more than one switch state selected in the Advanced Logic tab or the Signals tab, your
switch will show yellow in the Center Panel tab. This tells you that you have put the switch in an illegal state.
• Turn OFF or unlock the individual switch signals in the Signals tab before you continue
with diagnostics or simulation with the Center Panel tab.
146
DIAGNOSTICS IN THE CLUSTER TAB

When the Cluster tab is selected in Diagnostic Mode, the movement of the gauges mirrors the movements
of the actual gauges. For example, if the fuel gauge does not appear to be working, you can check the
gauge cluster view and see if the signal is driving the Diagnostic Mode gauge. If the gauge in the is working
in Diagnostic Mode, but the actual gauge is not, follow the Navistar troubleshooting guide to complete the
diagnosis.
By placing the cursor on the outer ring of a gauge and clicking the left mouse button, the user can override the
actual gauge signal. This forces the gauge to the reading indicated by the cursor location. In the illustration
below, the tachometer has been clicked at the 1300 RPM mark.
Figure 171 Cluster Tab
When observing the gauges in Diagnostic Mode, a gauge may momentarily dip to 0. This occurs because of
the high update rate required by some gauges and an update may occasionally be missed. The speedometer
and the tachometer are most susceptible to this anomaly because of their high update requirements. This is a
normal condition and is not an indication of a defective gauge.
147
Double-clicking in an area around the center of a gauge will bring up a text box in which a specific gauge set
value can be entered. The gauge should follow the diagnostic gauge setting. If the gauge does not follow
the diagnostic gauge, then follow the Navistar troubleshooting guide.
Figure 172 Temperature Gauge Double-Click Box
148
DIAGNOSING AND CLEARING FAULT CODES

When DLB is in Diagnostic Mode, it will display fault codes generated by most modules communicating
on the J1939 (CAN) Data Link.
To enter Diagnostic Mode, click the Diagnostic Mode icon in the toolbar.
Erasing Faults
Figure 174 Clear Faults Icon
To erase faults:
1. Click the Clear Faults icon in the toolbar. A window like the one shown below will appear.
Figure 175 Select Modules Window
2. Check the box next to each module that you wish to clear faults from.
3. Click OK to clear the faults from the selected modules.
If fault codes are still active, they will repopulate the Faults tab.
149
Decoding Diagnostic Fault Codes
The user can decode diagnostic fault codes directly by selecting the Faults tab.
Figure 176 The Faults Tab
The Faults tab provides a very comprehensive description of a diagnostic fault for the Body Controller / ESC
including text description, probable cause, connector pin associated with the fault, and the module associated
with the fault. Note these faults are only associated with modules communicating on the J1939 (CAN) Data link.
Tips
• Diagnostic fault codes will only be viewable on the Faults tab while the ignition key is in the run
position. The engine does not need to be running to view the ESC / BC codes.
• Diagnostic programs provided by the power train component suppliers can still be
used to diagnose those systems.
• For all vehicles, the Diamond Logic® Builder program will show fault codes from the Body
Controller. For more recent vehicle models, DLB may also show fault codes from the instrument
cluster, from the door pod, and from the LCM. Diagnostic programs provided by the power train
component suppliers can still be used to diagnose those systems.
• When diagnosing the gauge cluster with the Diamond Logic® Builder program, the pointers may
not be stable. The pointers may be steered to 0 intermittently. This is normal. Do not replace the
gauge cluster due to this anomaly. It is important that the user can steer the gauge to a nominal
value and that that the pointer does not stick or jump in the process.
150
Module Detection
The Diamond Logic® Builder program has a module detection function. The purpose of this function is to
provide a quick look at which electrical system modules are communicating on a data link or should be
communicating on a data link. Selecting the Detected Modules sub-tab will display the modules that are
communicating on the Drivetrain J1939 Data Link. Selecting the Inferred Modules sub-tab will display all
modules that are expected to be present in the configuration of the vehicle but are not communicating.
Figure 177 Inferred Modules
Modules that do not communicate on the Power Train J1939 Data Link (but do communicate on one of the
other data links) will have a blank in the detected column. Currently the system accurately detects modules
that are connected to the power train J1939 Data Link.
Modules that are not, but should be, communicating on the Power Train J1939 Data Link will have an X icon in
the detected column. See the Inferred Modules figure above (Figure 177).
151
USING SESSIONS AND TRIGGERS

The session function allows a user to save a custom group of signal selections to an electronic file, which can
be used in the future. This allows the user to quickly select a set of signals to use during diagnostics. Sessions
can only be used in Diagnostic Mode. Selected signals and trigger settings are also saved in the session.
NOTE – Creating and saving sessions is not recommended. Clicking Make Session while viewing the
Features tab will open a signal session displaying the signals related to that feature. This should meet
most of your Signal Session requirements.
OPENING A SESSION
If you have previously saved any sessions, you can reopen them. To open a session:
1. In the menu bar, select Diagnostics > Open Session.
Figure 178 Opening a Session
A window that prompts the user for the location and filename of the desired session appears.
2. Select the session file to be loaded.
After a session has been loaded, the session’s signals can be viewed on the Signals tab. Select the ESC
Signals sub-tab to view all signals in the vehicle configuration that are present in Navistar®-designed features
on the vehicle. Select the Watched sub-tab to see a listing of signals used in the selected session.
152
CREATING A SESSION
Creating and saving sessions is not recommended. It is better for most users to click the Make Session button
on the Features tab. This opens a signal session that displays the signals related to the selected feature.
Refer to Using Make Session to Select Watched Signals (page 133).This should meet most of your session
requirements. The following information is provided for advanced users who might need to use the Graphing
and Trigger functionality in DLB.
To create a session:
1. In the menu bar, select Diagnostics > New Session.
Figure 179 Creating a New Session
2. Select the Signals tab.
3. Select the sub-tab that lists the signals to be watched:
• The ESC Signals sub-tab lists all signals in the vehicle configuration that are present
in Navistar®-designed features on the vehicle.
• The Custom sub-tab lists all ladder logic signals that have been created in Advanced Logic.
• The Master List sub-tab lists all possible signals in the Diamond Logic® electrical system. Note that
the vehicle being diagnosed will only have a small subset of the Master List of signals.
4. In the chosen sub-tab, use the search utility to find the signals to graph or record.
153
5. Enable each signal to be watched by clicking the eyelid icon next to the desired signal. When the eyelid
changes to an open eye, the signal is selected.
6. Select the Watched sub-tab to see the list of all selected signals. Verify that all desired signals are
listed. In the figure below, BC_RCD_Tempt_In_Raw_Signal, BC_RCD_Temp_Out_Raw_Signal, and
Switched_5V_Sense_Raw_Signal have been selected.
Figure 180 Selected Signals on the Watched Sub-Tab
7. In the menu bar, select Diagnostics > Save Session. The Save Session window appears.
Figure 181 The Save Session Window
154
8. Navigate to the folder in which this session should be saved and enter a filename for this session. The
example above uses the name 3h365533.
9. Click Save.
The signals chosen to watch can be retrieved as a session file with the name entered. All session files are
given the .dls file name extension. For example, the full name of the file whose name is being entered in
the figure above will be 3h365533.dls.
In addition, this file can be sent by email.
155
SELECTING SIGNALS FOR RECORDING AND GRAPHING

In this example, we will watch two switches set up in custom logic and the associated indicators for the switches.
1. Select the Signals tab and then the ESC Signals sub-tab.
Figure 182 ESC Signals Sub-Tab
2. Click the Custom Signal heading to move custom signals to the top of the list.
Figure 183 Not Watched Icon
3. Select each signal to be watched by clicking the Not Watched icon for each desired signal.
Figure 184 Watched Icon
The icons will change to indicate that the corresponding signals are now Watched.
Figure 185 Watched Sub-Tab
4. Select the Watched sub-tab. Verify that the desired signals are now listed here.
5. Select the Graph sub-tab.
156
Figure 186 Recorder Icon
6. Click the Recorder icon in the toolbar.
NOTE – The Recorder icon can be selected only while DLB is in Diagnostic Mode. Therefore,
graphing can be performed only while DLB is in this mode.
7. Click the Diagnostic Mode icon in the toolbar to enter Diagnostic Mode.
NOTE – DLB will not switch to Diagnostic Mode unless it is connected to a vehicle and
communicating with the ESC / BC.
157
The graph below shows the results of turning ON Switch 1 and Switch 2 then turning OFF Switch 2 and
Switch 1.
Figure 188 Graph Showing Switches Being Turned ON and OFF
The Recorder icon in the toolbar both starts and stops the recording of data to the graph. Additionally, it arms
the triggers. If no triggers have been set, recording to the graph continues until the user stops it by clicking the
Recorder icon again. If there are triggers set, the user can still manually stop the recording by clicking this icon.
Recording and Graphing Views
The Graph sub-tab shows data formatted in specific scaled data views, such as volts, pressure, or digital ON /
OFF signals shown as a 1 or a 0. The graphing area is divided into as many views as are required to display
all the data types. Therefore, it is desirable to keep the number of signal types watched to three or less.
All signals of a given data type will be displayed on the same graph. Therefore, the user should minimize
the number of signals that are watched on any single graph. The graphical recorder is able to record a
single new data point every 50 milliseconds (0.050 seconds). Therefore, it is important to minimize the total
number of signals watched to less than 10 to maintain a close representation of the real time graphing of the
signals. Watching more than 10 signals will result in possible missed signal transitions on the graph, plus
the graph will be hard to read.
158
USING THE TRIGGER FUNCTION

Triggers are used to detect a condition and mark it on the graph. Triggers can also stop the recording on the
graph after a specified amount of time so the trigger condition does not get lost. If you kept recording forever
the trigger would be lost 10 minutes after it fires because DLB will only keep a maximum of 10 minutes of
data. The recorder must be started to begin the trigger process. The system will begin recording even though
the trigger event may not have occurred yet. When the trigger does occur, the graph will be marked with a
start line. The recording will continue until the selected amount of time has elapsed, the graph is stopped
manually, or the maximum recording time has expired.
Setting Up a Trigger
In the menu bar, select Diagnostics > Edit Triggers. The Edit Triggers window appears.
Figure 189 The Edit Triggers Window
The drop-down menu in the upper-left of this window allows you to choose the category of signal to view.
Once a category is selected, use the drop-down menu in the upper-right to choose the individual signal to
use as a trigger. The trigger can be set up to detect when the signal goes active (Rising Edge), when the
signal goes inactive (Falling Edge), or when it reaches a specific value. The trigger may be delayed until the
occurrence (Fault) has occurred after a specified number of counts. Finally, the trigger may be set to stop
recording after a specified time.
159
Figure 190 Trigger Example
Once a signal is selected, the trigger may be set to fire when a specified value has been detected. The
example above shows that a trigger has been set to fire when the Door_Switch signal turns ON. The trigger will
stop recording 30 seconds after the trigger event occurs.
Saving and Viewing the Graph
The graphed data can be saved in a file that can be read with Microsoft Excel or reopened in DLB for future
reference. To save the graph data:
1. In the menu bar, select Diagnostics > Save Graph Data. A window will open prompting you to name
the file and select a location for saving the file.
160
Figure 191 Saving Graph Data
2. In the File name box, enter a name for the saved data file. (Graph data is saved as a .csv file, which is a
plain text file containing comma separated values.)
3. Click Save.
A saved graph file can be reopened with DLB by selecting Diagnostics > Open Graph Data in the menu bar. A
window will open prompting you to select the file to be viewed.

167
DOS AND DON’TS
DOS AND DON’TS

Do
• Test all designs thoroughly before selling equipment controlled by Diamond Logic® Builder
programming. Exercise inputs and outputs under ALL possible combinations and conditions.
Someone in addition to the advanced logic writer should test the design on the vehicle with the
equipment that is to be controlled with the Diamond Logic® Builder software.
Don’t
• Do not try to program a vehicle with the ignition key ON. There is too much data traffic on the J1939 Data
Link and the process will most likely fail with a time-out error. Turn the key off and ensure the dome lights or
park lights are on and the battery voltage is between 12.5 and 14 volts. Connect to a charger if necessary.
Information
• The user ID is attached to each VIN configuration file when the user programs a vehicle. Adding / deleting
features or changing programmable parameters is the user’s responsibility. Navistar, Inc. shall not be
liable for any consequential warranty or equipment damage resulting from the users programming efforts.
• Diagnostic fault codes will be viewable on the Faults tab only while the ignition key is in the Run
position. The engine does not need to be running to view the ESC / BC codes.
• Diamond Logic® Builder will show fault codes from most modules communicating on the
J1939 (CAN) Data Link. Diagnostic programs provided by the power train component
suppliers can still be used to diagnose their systems.
• When diagnosing the gauge cluster with Diamond Logic® Builder, the pointers may not be stable.
The pointers may be steered to zero intermittently. This is normal. Do not replace the gauge
cluster due to this anomaly. It is important that the user can steer the gauge to a nominal
value and that the pointer does not stick or jump in the process.
