New Cascadia vehicles built with a DD engine shutting down after 45 minutes of idling even when idle shutdown is disabled

Applicable Vehicles

This solution applies to all New Cascadia vehicles built with a DD (Detroit Diesel) engine.

Symptoms:  

The DD engine will shutdown after 45 min of idling, even when Idle shutdown is disabled.

Issue:

This is a new "feature" on all of the New Cascadia vehicles. It is called "inactive idle shutdown" and is present for fuel economy reasons.  The feature will shutdown the engine after 45 minutes of idling even if the idle shutdown is disabled.

Solution :

To disable this feature, the CPC parameter : PG360 - Enable inactive shutdown -- needs to be change to "disabled".   All of the New Cascadia vehicles will come from the factory with this parameter enabled.
