    Hi there, sorry for my simple question but can't find correct answer or way where I can repair my ECM for Detroit 60 IV 12.7 L. I have active fault (low internal battery voltage). Start searching on the Internet but too many links (can't trust my ECM for everybody ) and decided to ask you guys may be from your experience you can help me where to send my computer.
    Thank you

    DCS - Diesel Control Services - Fernando DeMoura.

    I mailed mine off, had internal memory fault code, he opens them up, repairs circuits, runs on test injector bench for 8 hours, rechecks, then tunes if you want.

    $1100 includes tune, I think.

    He’s a little hard to get hold of - just very busy.

    Absolutely happy with the job.

    Google search - and he has a you tube video I think with the basic run down.

    Very knowledgeable guy.

    You might try emailing him. I tried calling for about 3 or 4 days - he answered finally.

    Problem is - the test bench is noisy, so he can’t talk all the time.

    Needs to clone himself!

    Pittsburg Power does them too. Fernando started the ECM program there then broke out on his own. Give them a call, Not sure about a turnaround time.

    Pittsburg Power says they can replace the battery.
    I have no personal experience with them.

    Interesting, when I was searching on the forum - nothing comes up. But when I put a question to Google, got a lot of treads from this forum. Weird
