PLUNGER 9M0008 - Caterpillar

System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions and power of the engine. Default values for the parameters are programmed at the factory. Some parameters may be changed by the customer to suit the needs of the specific application. Values for these parameters can be viewed on the electronic service tool. Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine information plate.No password is required for programming a new Electronic Control Module (ECM) during the first 100 hours of service life. This 100 hour “free configuration” feature enables the customer to tailor the programmable setpoints to the requirements of the installation. Exceptions are "Fuel Limit" and "Personality Module Mismatch".Note: If the parameters that are protected with the factory passwords are changed, the Caterpillar warranty may be voided.Refer to Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting, KENR9743, "Electronic Control System Operation" for additional information.For more information on system configuration parameters, refer to the "Troubleshooting" guide RENR5059.
