    02 Peterbilt 378, with a 6nz cat. Ran great, pulled into the yard, driver said it had a bad battery. Had the parts changer change battery, now the truck won't start. Has plenty of fuel, primer is hard, filter is full. Have 12v power on ecm pin 70, with key on. Has constant 12v on 3 exam pins with key off. Still won't run. Any ideas?

    Cranks, won't start?
    or
    Won't crank?

    Check obvious first. Did all ground and power leads get reconnected?

    Cranks, but no start. All wires are hooked up properly. Will hit on ether.

    I forgot to mention, it also won't talk to my nexus iq scan tool. Can talk to abs and trailer abs modules.

    If it will not communicate with the nexius tgere is a power or ground wire off or in the wrong place on the battery cables. Hopefully a positive on a ground and not the other way around
     
    n1xrf Thanks this.
