3C555944 Force ENGINE COVER COMPLETE

System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions, power of the engine, and machine applications. Default values for the parameters are programmed at the factory. Some parameters may be changed by the customer in order to suit the needs of the specific application. You must reprogram the system configuration parameters if the ECM is replaced and/or if you reprogram the engine rating. Values for these parameters are available on Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine information plate.Check Programmable Parameters (268-2)
If a programmable parameter has not been programmed, the ECM will generate a 268-2 Programmed Parameter Fault : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect diagnostic code. The unprogrammed parameters will be set to default. Certain aspects of the engine's performance and engine monitoring may be affected.If "Injector Trim" is displayed below a 268-2 diagnostic code on Cat ET, refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Trim File - Install".Parameter Descriptions
"Equipment ID"
The "Equipment ID" parameter allows the customer to enter a description into the ECM in order to identify the machine. A maximum of 17 characters can be entered in the field."Engine Serial Number"
Program the "Engine Serial Number" to match the engine serial number that is stamped on the engine information plate. The engine serial number is not preprogrammed on a replacement ECM."ECM Serial Number"
This parameter identifies the serial number for the ECM."Software Group Part Number"
This parameter identifies the part number of the flash file that is currently installed in the ECM."Software Group Release Date"
This parameter identifies the release date of the flash file that is currently installed in the ECM."FLS" (Full Load Setting)
"FLS" is a number that represents the adjustment to the fuel system that was made at the factory in order to fine tune the fuel system. The correct value for this parameter is stamped on the engine information plate. Only change this value if the engine is rerated or if a new ECM is installed. The parameter allows one time of programming without a factory password. In order to change the "FLS" after the initial programming, factory passwords are required."FTS" (Full Torque Setting)
"FTS" is similar to "FLS". Only change this value if the engine is rerated or if a new ECM is installed. Factory passwords are required. A new ECM or a blank ECM allows one time of programming of the "FTS" without the use of factory passwords. In order to change the "FTS" after the initial programming, factory passwords are required."Total Tattletale"
This parameter counts the number of changes to system parameters."Ether Solenoid Configuration"
This parameter is enabled in order to define the installation status of an ether starting aid for the engine."Engine Fan Type Configuration"
This parameter aids in controlling the engine fan."Engine Fan Reversing Feature"
This parameter provides the option of reversing the direction of the fan in order to dislodge any obstructions."Engine Fan Purge Cycle Duration"
This parameter enables manual operation of reverse fan function. The feature operates in neutral gear and in reverse gear."Engine Fan Purge Cycle Interval"
This parameter allows the purge cycle interval to be adjusted."Engine Prelube"
This parameter allows the engine prelube to be enabled or disabled.Parameter Table
