Vehicle speed controlSep 24, 1996 · NHTSA campaign 96V181001 · 258 vehicles

Problem: These vehicles are equipped with a detroit diesel optimized idle system. If the ignition is turned on and the fuse for the electronic control module (ecm) power feed line is removed or burned out, the safety features designed to prevent injury to persons working in the vicinity of the engine will be bypassed, and unintentional cranking of the engine will occur.

Risk: If unintentional cranking of the engine occurs, persons working in the vicinity of the engine could be injured and the vehicle could move.

Fix: Detroit diesel distributors will rewire the vehicles using a revised ecm which will eliminate unintentional cranking.
