END BIT (long wearing) 1U1898 - Caterpillar

System configuration parameters are parameters that are configured to specify the engines emissions levels, the power rating, and the specific application. Default values for the parameters are programmed at the factory. Some parameters may be changed to equip the engine for a specific application. The system configuration parameters must be reprogrammed if the Electronic Control Module (ECM) is replaced. It is not necessary to reprogram the system configuration parameters if you update the ECM flash file. Certain configuration parameters are stamped into the engine information plate.Note: If the parameters that are protected with the factory passwords are changed, the Caterpillar warranty may be voided.Parameter Descriptions
Equipment ID
The "Equipment ID" parameter allows the customer to enter a description into the ECM to identify the engines application. 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 Part Number
This parameter identifies the part number for the 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.Software Group Description
This parameter identifies the description of the application for the flash file that is currently installed in the ECM.Full Load Setting (FLS)
FLS is a parameter that represents the adjustment to the fuel system that was made at the factory 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 has been installed. Factory passwords are required to change this parameter.Full Torque Setting (FTS)
FTS is similar to FLS. Only change this value if the engine is rerated or if a new ECM has been installed. Factory passwords are required to change this parameter.Rated Power
This parameter specifies the rated power of the engine.Rated Peak Torque
This parameter specifies the rated peak torque of the engine.Top Engine Speed Range
This parameter specifies the maximum speed setting for the engine.Test Spec
This is the engines "Test Specifiction Number". Use this number to retrieve data that is related to the engines specifications from the Technical Marketing Information System (TMI). The following information can be retrieved from TMI:
"As shipped consists"
"Engine test specifications"
"Systems data"
"Physical data"
"Gasket kit data"
"Reman parts"
"Performance data"A link to TMI Web can be found on the web site for the Service Information System (SIS).Total Tattletale
The total tattletale counts the number of changes to system parameters.Low System Battery Voltage Elevated Idle
This parameter enables operation of the elevated idle function if a low battery condition is detected by the ECM.Ether Solenoid Configuration
This parameter is enabled to define the installation status of an ether starting aid for the engine.Engine Fan Reversing Feature
The "Engine Fan Reversing Feature" aids in clearing debris from the
