1. For 793 converted to EUI, and for 793B engines, replace the personality module, and the ECM seal if needed.2. For 793C engines use ET to flash the new software. Follow steps 3 through 9 below if the 793C truck has a S/N prefix of '4AR'.3. After flashing the new software use ET and go to "Programmable Parameters". You must use ET version 2.2 or higher.4. Go to "Selectable Throttle".5. Selectable throttle defaults to a "zero". This is the value needed for this software to work properly when flashed in a 793C '4GZ' truck. For this software to work properly in a 793C '4AR' truck, change the "zero" to a "one"6. Exit ET and turn the key switch off for 15 seconds.7. Turn the key switch on for 15 seconds without starting the engine.8. Start the engine and take engine to high idle. If high idle can not be reached, the "Selectable Throttle" parameter has the wrong value.9. Steps 6 and 7 need to be performed only once following the changing of a programmable parameter. Steps 6 and 7 must be performed whenever any programmable parameter is changed before the new value will take affect.Owner Notification
