Rework Procedure
Before going to machine:
1. Ensure you have all the applicable parts and tools needed as called out in the Parts Needed for the Affected Product group before going to the machine. This will include downloading software from SIS Web including Product Link and VIMS software as needed. This will also include the latest version of Cat ET, VIMSpc, a Communications Adapter, and a VIMS PC Cable.
2. Launch SIS Web and ensure that the flash file called out in the Parts Needed is the latest flash file part number. A newer flash file part number may be available.
Note: When the machine serial number is entered to retrieve the latest software from SIS WEB, it is possible that the displayed flash file for Product Link or VIMS may be out of date.
A list of the latest Product Link flash files can be found in SIS
Web under the "Service Software Files" -> "Flash Files" -> "PL Service Technician's Toolbox" web page. See Image 1.1.1.
Similarly, a list of the latest VIMS software can be found in SIS
Web under the "Service Software Files" -> "Flash Files" -> "VIMS
Software & Current Releases" -> "VIMS 3G Production Software
Compatibility Matrix". See Images 1.1.1 and 1.1.2

In order to download the latest Product Link or VIMS software from SIS Web, enter the individual software part number in SIS Web instead of the machine serial number.
3. Ensure that the Communications Adapter has the latest firmware updates and PC drivers, and that ET is updated to the latest available version. Communications Adapter and ET news, drivers and firmware are available at "https://dealer.cat.com"
Update Procedure:
Note: To avoid issues, follow these steps exactly. Please read through all the steps first prior to performing any of these tasks. When updating software, let Cat ET finish updating the software prior to performing any other task on the PC. This will help avoid the potential of interrupting the process and causing issues on the ECM.
1. Before updating the software run a Product Status Report (PSR) and save the report for reference.
Use the PSR to document the following three items within the VIMS Main Module section: Software Group Part Number, Application Software Part Number, and Wireless Transmission Device Serial Number. These pieces of information will be used in future
steps.
Image 1.2.1 is only an example. The Software Part Numbers and
device serial number shown may be different than what is on your
machine.

2. Before updating the software, save ECM replacement files for each ECM to be updated (in Cat ET: Use Service -> Copy Configuration -> ECM Replacement, click yes to load from ECM, select ECM then save to file. To do the next ECM click Load from ECM then Save to file).
Note: Failure to create ECM replacement files could result in a loss of configuration information which could require DSN assistance and create unnecessary machine downtime.
3. Update the software on the machine as called out in the Parts Needed for the Affected Product group. Refer
