This course reviews the diagnostic procedure, theory, and operation of the General Motors 6.6
Liter Duramax Engine. Common rail diagnosis will be emphasized in this course such as fuel
pressure testing both on the high and low pressure side plus injector testing and fuel injector
control module (FICM) operation. Duramax engine LLY-LBZ and LMM will be discussed. Service
information will be used to aid the technician in vehicle diagnosis. This will be supplemented
with the use of the scan tool in interpreting data and using bidirectional controls that are available.
