Product Status Report
The Product Status Report is a feature that is available through Cat® Electronic Technician (ET). The Product Status Report allows a download of all the information that is stored in the ECM. This information includes ECM information about the active and logged codes, totals, configuration settings, and histograms.In addition to the information listed above, there may be additional information depending on the ECM that is pulling the product status report (engine, transmission, machine, implement, display, and so on).This information can be used to determine how the equipment is set up from the factory. The information can be sent to the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN) for review to aid in diagnosis of issues, and can be used to aid in keeping records on the equipment.The product status report is available in Cat ET under the "Information" tab or on the toolbar at the top of the screen.Electronic Controls
