BALL JOINT 1G3416 - Caterpillar

Parameter Descriptions
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 you reprogram the engine rating. You do not need to reprogram the system configuration parameters if you replace the personality module. Proper values for these parameters are available on the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine information plate."Rating Number"
"Rating Number" is a reference number that corresponds to the rating map that is resident in the personality module (flash file). Flash files may contain more that one rating."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"
The "Engine Serial Number" should be programmed to match the engine serial number that is stamped on the engine information plate. When a new ECM is delivered, the engine serial number in the ECM is not programmed."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 ratings plate. A new ECM requires this parameter to be programmed. If this parameter is not programmed, the ECM will generate a 253-02 Check Customer Or System Parameters."FTS" (Full Torque Setting)
"FTS" is similar to "FTS". This parameter must be programmed. If this parameter is not programmed, the ECM will generate a 253-02 Check Customer Or System Parameters."Ether Control"
The "Ether Control" parameter allows the operation of this feature to be enabled or disabled. If the engine is not equipped with an ether starting aid, this parameter should be programmed to "Disabled"."Engine Fan Control"
The "Engine Fan Control" parameter allows the operation of this feature to be enabled or disabled. If the application is equipped with a demand fan, this parameter should be programmed to "Enabled".Parameter Table
