FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
As an Original Equipment Manufacturer, Peterbilt Motors Company, ensures that our products comply with all applicable U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. However, the fact that this vehicle has no fifth wheel and that a Body Builder (Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer) will be doing additional modifications means that the vehicle was incomplete when it left the build plant.
INCOMPLETE VEHICLE CERTIFICATION
An Incomplete Vehicle Document is shipped with the vehicle, certifying that the vehicle is not complete. See Figure 21. In addition, affixed to the drivers side door frame or edge is an Incomplete Vehicle Certification label. See Figure 22.
NOTE These documents list the U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard regulations that the vehicle complied with when it left the build plant. You should be aware that if you add, modify or alter any of the components or systems covered by these regulations, it is your responsibility as the Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer to ensure that the complete vehicle is in compliance with the particular regulations upon completion of the modifications.

FIGURE 2-2. Locations of Certification
Labels - Drivers Door and Frame
As the Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer, you should retain the Incomplete Vehicle Document for your records. In addition, you should record and retain the manufacturer and serial number of the tires on the vehicle. Upon completion of the vehicle (installation of the body and any other modifications), you should affix your certification label to the vehicle as required by Federal law. This tag identifies you as the Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer and certifies that the vehicle complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. (See Figure 22.) Be advised that regulations affecting the intermediate and final stage manufacturer may change without notice. Ensure you are referencing the most updated copy of the regulation during the certification and documentation processes.
In part, if the final stage manufacturer can complete and certify the vehicle within the instruction in the incomplete vehicle document (IVD), the certification label would need a statement that reads, This vehicle has been completed in accordance with the prior manufacturers IVD where applicable. This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards [and Bumper and Theft Prevention Standards if applicable] in effect in (month, year).
Page 11
SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

NOISE AND EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
NOTE
This truck may be equipped with specific emissions control components/systems in order to meet applicable Federal and California noise and exhaust emissions
requirements. Tampering with these emissions control components/systems is against
the rules that are established by the U.S Code of Federal Regulations, Environment
Canada Regulations and California Air Resources Board (CARB). These emissions
control components/systems may only be replaced with original equipment parts.
Additionally, most vehicles in North America will be equipped with a Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Vehicle Emission Control Information door label indicating its certified
configuration. The vehicle components listed on this label are considered emission
control devices.
Modifying (i.e. altering, substituting, relocating) any of the emissions control components/systems defined above will affect the noise and emissions
performance/certification. Modifications that alter the overall shape and aerodynamic
performance of a tractor will also affect the emission certification. If modifications are
required, they must first be approved by the manufacturer. Unapproved modifications
could negatively affect emissions performance/certification. There is no guarantee that
proposed modifications will be approved.
Tires may be substituted provided the new tires possess a Coefficient of rolling
resistance (Crr) equal to or lower than Crr of the original tires. Consult with your tire
supplier(s) for appropriate replacement tires.
Contact the engine manufacturer for any requirements and restrictions prior to any
modifications.
For Cummins Contact 1-800-DIESELS or your local Cummins distributor. Reference AEB 21.102.
It is possible to relocate the DEF tank; however the relocation requirements in section 9 of this manual need to be
followed. Any variances from the relocation requirements may cause the emissions control components/systems to operate improperly potentially resulting in engine de-rate.

NOTE
All 2017 engine emissions certified vehicles will be equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system. The OBD system is designed to detect malfunctions of any engine or vehicle component that may increase exhaust emissions or interfere with the proper performance of the OBD system itself.
All diesel engines will be equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system. The OBD
system consists of computer program on one or more of the vehicles Electronic Control Units
(ECUs). This program uses information from the control system and from additional sensors to detect malfunctions. When a malfunction is detected, information is stored in the ECU(s) for
diagnostic purposes. A Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is illuminated in the dash to alert the
driver of the need for service of an emission-related component or system.
To ensure compliance to emissions regulations, the final configuration of certain features of the completed vehicle must meet specific requirements. This section describes requirements relevant for only the most common or critical modifications done by body builders. For a complete description of acceptable modifications, see the application guidance available from the manufacturer of the engine installed in the chassis.
FUEL SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
The overall system restriction may not exceed the restriction limitations set forth by the engine manufacturer for both
supply and return.
Ensure that fuel lines are not pinched or can potentially be damaged when installed between body and frame

EXHAUST AND EXHAUST AFTER-TREATMENT SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
The following after-treatment and exhaust system components may not be modified:
DPF/SCR Assembly Exhaust pipes between the engine and after-treatment devices (DPF, SCR Catalyst) and between
after-treatment devices NOx Sensors PM Sensor
The following modifications may only be done within the guidelines outlined in Section 9 of this manual:
Modifications to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) throttle, suction, or pressure lines Modification or relocation of the DEF tank Modification of coolant lines to and from the DEF tank
All DEF and coolant lines should be routed, protected, and properly secured to prevent damage during
vehicle operation or other components
The after-treatment canister mounting may not be modified
Page 14
SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
Peterbilt Motors Company 2-6
2
The NOx sensor may not be relocated or altered in any way; this includes re-clocking the after- treatment canister or reorienting the sensor(s)
Exhaust pipes used for tailpipes/stacks must be properly sized, and must prevent water from entering
Ensure adequate clearance between the exhaust and body panels, hoses, and wire harnesses
The body in the vicinity of the DPF must be able to withstand temperatures up to 400C (750F)
Do not add thermal insulation to the external surface of the DPF
The after-treatment canister water drain hole may not be blocked
Allow adequate clearance (25mm (1 inch)) for servicing the DPF sensors, wiring, and clamped joints
Drainage may not come in contact with after-treatment canister, sensors or wiring
Allow sufficient clearance for removing sensors from DPF. Thermistors require four inches. Other
sensors require one inch
Wiring should be routed, protected from heat, and properly secured to prevent damage
from other components
The exhaust system from an auxiliary power unit (APU) must not be connected to any part of the
vehicle after-treatment system or vehicle tail pipe.
COOLING SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
Modifications to the design or locations of fill or vent lines, heater or defroster core, and surge tank are
not recommended
Additional accessories plumbed into the engine cooling system are not permitted, at the risk of voiding
vehicle warranty
Coolant level sensor tampering will void warranty
When installing auxiliary equipment in front of the vehicle, or additional heat exchangers, ensure
that adequate air flow is available to the vehicle cooling system. Refer to engine manufacturer
application guidelines for further detail
When installing FEPTO drivelines, the lower radiator anti-recirculation seal must be retained with
FEPTO driveline clearance modification only
Changes made to cooling fan circuit and controls are not allowed, with the exception of AC
minimum fan on time parameter
See owners manual for appropriate winter front usage

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
Electrical harnesses providing battery power and electronic control signals to engine and emissions
control/vehicle OBD components including datalinks may not be spliced. These emissions control/vehicle OBD components include the following:
throttle pedal
vehicle speed sensor
after-treatment wiring
9-pin OBD Connector
CAN Communication / OBD wiring
If the alternator or battery is substituted, it must meet the requirements of the engine manufacturers
guidelines. This includes alternator ground voltage drop and alternator ground cable effectiveness.
See the engine manufacturers guidelines for recommended test procedure. Additionally the
maximum voltage differential and the peak-peak voltage differential between the engine ECM block
ground stud and battery negative terminal may not exceed 500 mV under any combination of loads or operating conditions.
Only an OBD compliant battery disconnect switch may be installed on vehicles equipped EPA 2013
and beyond compliant diesel engines. An OBD compliant switch and harness, even in the off position,
shall supply a small amount of power to the engine controller and enable certain emissions critical
functions (e.g. DEF line purge). Any modifications to the electrical system which interrupt this power supply will cause OBD fault codes and illumination of the MIL. In addition, such a modification will
render the engine non-compliant with certain emission regulations. As a general rule of thumb, you
can remove and replace a battery disconnect switch on a truck equipped with a battery disconnect
switch at the factory. However, if a battery disconnect switch was not installed in the factory a
significant harness modification is required before a battery disconnect switch can be added.
Installation of aftermarket transfer-cases must address the vehicle speed sensor position. The standard position of the speed sensor is at the transmission tail shaft. When a transfer-case is added
it is best to relocate the sensor to the axle side output shaft of the transfer-case. This is typically
accomplished by adding a tone wheel into the driveline yoke assembly.
Wiring extensions for the after-treatment wiring are available for relocating the DEF tank from your
dealer via Paccar Parts. For relocation of DEF tank, refer to the after-treatment section of this manual.
The emission system requires an accurate Outside Air Temperature (OAT) reading in order to properly run its control algorithms. The OAT sensor is located in the drivers side mirror assembly on Peterbilt trucks and is shown in the figure below. If the body builder needs to modify the mirror assembly in any way, it is important the OAT sensor stay positioned on the mirror assembly. Running the vehicle without the OAT sensor connected will cause the MIL lamp to illuminate. If needed, a replacement sensor can be ordered from your Peterbilt dealer.
WARNING! When jump starting using a battery charger/booster, verify that the battery
charger/booster is set to the same jump start voltage and amperage specifications
as the vehicle electrical system and batteries (i.e. if the vehicle electrical system is a
12 volt system, the jump start voltage on the battery charger/booster shall be set at
no higher than a 12 volt setting). Failure to comply may cause an explosion and/or fire resulting in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.

Coolant Sensor considerations are given in the Cooling section above
The OBD/Diagnostic connector port is located below the dash to the left of the steering wheel. This
connector and its location may not be changed.
All vehicles equipped with EPA 2013 and beyond compliant diesel and bi-fueled engines must be equipped with a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lamp. This lamp is required to be an engine outline symbol as
defined by ISO (International Standards Organization). The figure below shows the instrument cluster and
MIL lamp position. Note this lamp location is fixed with respect to the controls and its location may not be
changed if you are updating the warning lamp cards.
FIGURE 2-4: Digital Display for 579/567.
The Check Engine lamp and/or the MIL will appear in the Driver Information Display. See 579/567
Operators Manual for more information.
In addition to the gauges and lamps above, the emission system also depends on signals from the after-
treatment canister and NOx sensor. Wiring between these devices, the doser and engine ECM should not
be tampered with or altered in any way. De-rate information is available in the engine after-treatment system
operator manual supplement.

AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
The air intake screen may not be blocked, either fully or partially
Modification to the air intake system may not restrict airflow. For example, pipe diameter may not be reduced
All sensors must be retained in existing locations
To retain system seal, proper clamp torque must be used. Refer to service manual for proper clamp torque
CHARGE AIR COOLER SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
The Charge Air Cooler may not be modified
The installation of engine over-speed shutdown devices must not introduce restriction in the intake system
All plumbing associated with the charge air cooler may not be modified
BENDIX WINGMAN FUSION RADAR CLEARANCE
Some vehicles are equipped with the Bendix Wingman Fusion bumper mounted radar. When mounting cattle guards or other equipment to the front of the bumper, it is important to follow the manufacturers guidelines for radar clearance. Please see the diagram below from Bendix SD-61-4963 to ensure proper clearance.

GENERAL WIRE ROUTING
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
Whenever possible, battery cables, electrical wires, and wire harnesses should be secured by
clamps attached to rigid components (for example, the engine, frame, bracket, etc.) or secured by tie straps fastened to other restrained lines at intervals not exceeding 460mm (18 in.).
Battery cables, alternator cables, electrical wires, and wire harnesses routed on the chassis and
engine should be covered by braided loom or convoluted tubing.
At the clamping or tie points, battery cables, electrical wires, and wire harnesses should be covered
by braided loom or convoluted tubing.
