Programmable parameters enable the engine to be configured to meet the requirements of the application. The system configuration parameters must be programmed when the application is installed. Perform this programming before the initial engine start-up.Data from a gas analysis and data on engine performance are required to determine the correct settings for the ignition timing and the fuel control. Incorrect programming of parameters may lead to complaints about performance and/or to engine damage.Programmable parameters are classified into groups defined by their function which may include groups such as engine identification, timing control, air/fuel ratio control, speed control, start/stop control, and engine monitoring.If an Electronic Control Module (ECM) is replaced, the appropriate parameters must be copied from the old ECM. This action can be done with the "Copy Configuration" feature of the Cat® Electronic Technician (ET). Alternatively, the settings can be recorded on paper and then programmed into the configuration screen that is for the new module.Note: Corrupt ECM data will transfer over when performing a Copy Configuration during an ECM replacement procedure. A manual entry of programmable parameters and recalibration of certain components may be required in situations where memory corruption is the reason for ECM replacement.
Changing the parameters during engine operation can cause the engine to operate erratically. This action can cause engine damage.Only change the settings of the parameters when the engine is STOPPED.
