Motor Control Module
The engine mounted Motor Control Module (MCM) includes control
logic to provide overall engine management. See Figure "Motor Control
Module" .

Note: Do NOT ground the MCM. This can result in false codes being
logged.
The Motor Control Module (MCM) incorporates a heat exchanger which
uses fuel to cool the MCM. The top plate of the heat exchanger
incorporates the inlet and outlet fitting for fuel supply entering and
exiting the heat exchanger. The bottom section of the heat exchanger is
incorporated into the MCM housing and is serviced with the MCM.
Section 17.2.1
Engine Harness
The MCM has a 120–pin connector Engine Harness which is factory
installed. It also has a 21–pin connector which is the responsibility of the
OEM. The pinouts for the 120–pin connector are listed in Table "MCM
Connector – DD15 Engine (1 of 4)" , Table "MCM Connector – DD15
Engine (2 of 4)" , Table "MCM Connector – DD15 Engine (3 of 4)" ,
and Table "MCM Connector – DD15 Engine (4 of 4)" .
The pinout for the 21–pin connector is listed in Table "21–Pin Connector
to the MCM" .

Connector Brackets
The harnesses on MCM must be bracketed and held secure. The bracket
design will change for different engines as the routing is different. The
120–pin connector and the 21-pin connector must be tie-wrapped to the
brackets.
