Model 906, 907 with engine OM642
Reason for change
Operation Codes Updated
Reason for block
Complaint:
Engine runs irregularly and shakes. Check engine lamp lights up.
Information:
Fault codes for injectors and/or combustion misfires may be stored in the CDI control unit:
•
•
On engine 642 cylinder 6 is affected.
On engine 651 cylinder 2 is affected.
Cause:
Charge air from the exhaust gas recirculation is condensed after being introduced into the charge air system.
Information:
Under certain operating conditions, condensation that has collected in the charge air cooler can enter the combustion
chamber to a damaging degree causing a mild hydro lock scenario and the connecting rod(s) to bend.
Remedy:
Perform following testing and diagnosis operations
****************************************************************************************************************************
1.
Attach diagnostic system (see AD00.00-D-2000-04SD in model 906 or AD00.00-D-2000-06TS in model 907).
2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Perform initial quick test and save to paperless (see AD00.00-D-2000-04SD in model 906 or AD00.00D-2000-06TS in model 907).
Information: For fault codes (current or stored) on injector and/or combustion misfires in the CDI control unit,
continue with operation step 2.
Information: If there are no fault codes on the injector or combustion misfires in the CDI control unit, conduct further research on the exact reason for the customer complaint and initiate corresponding repair measures.
3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Remove charge air hoses from inlet and outlet fittings on charge air cooler (see AR09.41-D-1311-01WE) and
check if there is any condensation in them.
Information: If any condensation is detected, it must be removed.

Check air filter and air filter housing for ingressed fluid (see AR09.10-D-1050US and AR09.10-D-1150SF in model 906 with engine 642, AR09.10-D-1050US and AR09.10-D-1150WE in model 906 with engine 651, AR09.10D-1050TS and AR09.10-D-1150TSV in model 907 with engine 642).
Information: If any fluid is detected, it must be removed.
5.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Perform compression test using XENTRY Diagnosis.
Information: If noticeable problems are found (speed deviations), continue with operation step 6.
Information: If no noticeable problems are found, conduct further research on the exact reason for the customer
complaint and initiate corresponding repair measures.
6.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check compression pressure using compression pressure recorder (see AR01.00-D-1200SF in model 906 with
engine 642, AR01.00-D-1200WE in model 906 with engine 651, AR01.00-D-1201TSV in model 907 with engine
642).
Information: If, when checking the compression pressure using the compression pressure recorder (on engine
651 this affects cylinder 2 and on engine 642 cylinder 6) a pressure difference is detected to the other 3 or 5 cylinders that is greater than 3 bar, you can assume that the connecting rod is damaged or bent. If noticeable problems are found, continue with operation step 7.
Information: If no noticeable problems are found, conduct further research on the exact reason for the customer
complaint and initiate corresponding repair measures.
7.
8.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Remove fuel injectors (see AR07.16-D-1000SF in model 906 with engine 651, AR07.16-D-1000WE in model
906 with engine 642, AR07.16-D-1020TSV in model 907 with engine 642).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Manually turn cylinders, one after the other, to TDC position (see AR01.00-D-0100SF in model 906 with engine
642, AR01.00-D-0100-01TSV in model 907 with engine 642, AR01.10-D-1000-01WE in model 906 with engine
651) and use welding wire or a vernier caliper through the fuel injector slot to measure the distance to the piston
(see Picture 01 and 02).
Information: If noticeable problems are found, continue with operation step 9.
Information: If no noticeable problems are found, conduct further research on the exact reason for the customer
complaint and initiate corresponding repair measures.
9.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Replace engine (see AR01.10-D-2401SF in model 906 with engine 642, AR01.10-D-2401TSV in model 907 with
engine 642, AR01.10-D-2401WE in model 906 with engine 651) or repair it (see AR03.10-S-7021SE in model
906 with engine 642, AR03.10-D-7021TSV in model 907 with engine 642, AR03.10-D-7021WE in model 906
with engine 651).
Information:
- On vehicles covered by warranty: Replace engine.
- On vehicles not covered by warranty and with a properly operating crankcase and properly operating cylinder
barrel: repair engine or offer replacement engine.
- On vehicles not covered by warranty and with defective crankcase and/or defective cylinder barrel: replace engine (offer replacement engine).

Check as-built configuration of charge air cooler.
Information: Perform only on model 906, 907 before production date 02/2019.
Information: For an older as-built configuration (fitting in center, see Picture 03), continue with operation step 11.
Information: For a current as-built configuration (see Pictures 03, 04(OM651) and 05(OM642)), do not undertake
any more repair measures.
11.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Replace charge air cooler (see AR09.41-D-6817SD in model 906 with engine 642, AR09.41-D-6817TS in model
907 with engine 642 or AR09.41-D-6817WE in model 906 with engine 651).
Information: Perform only in accordance with result after checking as-built configuration of charge air cooler (see
operation step 10) and only in model 906, 907 before production date 02/2019.
Information: The new charge air cooler with lowered fitting on the cold side (see AR09.41-D-8619M in model 906
with engine 642, AR09.41-D-8621TSR in model 907 with engine 642 or AR09.41-D-8619WE in model 906 with
engine 651) must be installed (see Picture 04 and 05). Cost acceptance to be checked through advance agreement with regard to goodwill (ESKULAB). The modification of the charge air cooler is to be applied for as additional work through an ESKULAB query for engine damage (Note service information bulletin SI01.10-S-0001A
hereto).
Information: On vehicles in which the charge air cooler and charge air hose were replaced, the following text
must be entered in the "Vehicle Documentation" (VeDoc) as FO texts:
- Text for engine 651: Charge air cooler and charge air hose modified. New part numbers: Charge air cooler A
