By the early 1980’s, it had become evident that newengine technologies would have to be brought to bearif Caterpillar, or any other diesel engine manufacturer,was to prosper in the rapidly evolving market environ-ment. A combination of increased governmentregulation, prompted by legitimate environmentalconcerns, stronger competition and more demandingmarket expectations dictated totally new approachesto diesel engine design.
In order to meet these challenges, Caterpillar em-barked on an ambitious development program tocreate totally new diesel engines. That programresulted in the 3176 and the 3406B PEEC. Since 1987,the use of electronics on Caterpillar On-HighwayEngines © has grown Engine models such as the C-10, C-12, C15, C-16, and 3126E have been introduced.Most recently, the model year 2004 electronic engineline includes the C7, C9, C11, C13, and C15 withACERT © Technology (Cat manufactures a widevariety of electronic engines for applications as variedas locomotives and very large earth movers. Thisbooklet covers On-Highway Engines only).
Today, electronics do much more than control thecombustion process to meet ever-toughening emissionstandards and customer fuel economy expectations.They allow the engine to talk to and coordinate withdriveline components. They allow monitoring andcontrol of driving habits to meet business objectives.Remote programming and monitoring ability allows realtime fleet control from an office location. In today’schanging economic environment, a fleet managermust juggle economy and driver satisfaction. Caterpil-lar electronically controlled engines allow a fleetmanager to spec a driveline free from the usualcompromises and then program the engines to reflectdesired driving habits. In addition, the Driver Rewardfeature allows the manager to automatically rewarddrivers who meet preset fleet objectives.
Incorporation of the latest, most powerful ECM,ADEM2000, has equipped Caterpillar On-HighwayEngines with numerous electronic features. This bookoutlines Caterpillar electronic features that have theability to change the way fleets operate. It is nowpossible to program fleet truck engines and sit backand let the electronics take over.

What’s NewWhat’s NewWhat’s NewWhat’s NewWhat’s New
A lot has changed with Caterpillar’s on-highwayengine technology since the last revision of this bookin January 2000. Perhaps the biggest change in Cat’son-highway engine technology has been the introduc-tion and perfection of ACERT © Technology. Thisbook essentially picks up where the January 2000revision left off, covering all on-highway engines from2001 to 2005. The Recommendations, Advantages, andDisadvantages sections have all been updated toreflect the most current line of Caterpillar on-highwayengines as well. What follows is a brief list of themajor additions and changes that have been made tothis book.
✔ All of the electronic parameters have beenmodified to reflect programming requirements foron-highway engines from 2001 up to 2005 includ-ing all necessary ACERT© Technology consider-ations.
✔ An Input Selection section had been added toprovide information on all available selectionoptions.
✔ The Output Selection section has been expandedto include more available outputs.
✔ Information on Gear Fast/Run Slow and Gear Fast/Run Super Slow has been added.
✔ Design Pro has replaced Truck Engine Pro.
✔ Cat Messenger has been referenced along withCat ID, since although Messenger is the newerdevice, both are in use today.
✔ Driver Reward information has been added.
✔ A section on Improving Fuel Economy has beenadded to provide helpful trip preparation, driving,and spec’ing recommendations for trucks pow-ered with Caterpillar on-highway engines withACERT© Technology.

nUnderstanding the Electronic ControlsUnderstanding the Electronic ControlsUnderstanding the Electronic ControlsUnderstanding the Electronic ControlsUnderstanding the Electronic Controls
This booklet is to aid you in choosing appropriateprogrammable values. Some features fall into a “non-programmable” or “programmable only by yourauthorized Cat dealer” category. While you may notneed to be concerned about programming theseparameters, we have included them in this booklet soyou can have a greater understanding of the Caterpil-lar electronic system.
Cat electronic truck engines offer a wide range offeatures, these include but are not limited to:
✔ Maximum Vehicle Speed Limiting
✔ Maximum Engine RPM Limiting
✔ Progressive Shift prompts
✔ Idle-Shutdown Timer
✔ Wide variety of Cruise Control features
✔ Retarder control
✔ Dedicated PTO control features
✔ Engine Monitoring System
✔ Engine Diagnostics w/fault logging including“snapshot” recording
✔ Numerous Trip Recording options
✔ Powertrain (J1922 or J1939) Interface
✔ ATA (J1587) Data Link
✔ Cooling fan control including A/C high pressure
Not all of these features fall into the “customerprogrammable” category. Some features, like the ATAData Link, have to do with the way the engine elec-tronics are integrated into the truck and drive trainelectronics. Another example is the setting fortachometer calibration, which comes preset from thetruck factory and should not be changed. (In fact,most features come with a preset value from thefactory.)
Other features, like password protection, can only beset by a customer.

chosen as the truck is spec’d and ordered)
2 – Optional Programmable Features Optional Programmable Features Optional Programmable Features Optional Programmable Features Optional Programmable Features (parameters unique to the application
and normally set after the truck is delivered)
Customer programmable features with a icon inthe title bar can be locked for additional security. (SeeCustomer Parameter Lockout, page 159 for details.)
Note: Since the introduction of the 3176B and 3406Eengines in 1993, Caterpillar has continued to add andenhance the features available to both the FleetOwner and the Owner Operator. These additions andenhancements are made by changing the software inthe Personality Module, which is in the ElectronicControl Module (ECM) on the engine. New PersonalityModule Software can be installed by an authorizedCaterpillar dealer. Throughout this booklet referencesare made to software release dates to define when aparticular feature became available. Listed below arethe dates of the major Personality Module Softwareupdates.
These dates may or may not correspond to model yearchanges.

Each new engine will come with several features setat factory default settings. Some of these, like the oilsump capacity, are set at the engine factory. Others,like the tachometer calibration, are set by the truckmanufacturer. All of these default settings fall intoone of three categories.
11111 – A specific value required by the engine or truckelectronics for proper operation (example - oilsump capacity, tachometer calibration)
22222 – A standard value set for convenience (example -PTO Ramp Rate is set at 50 rpm/sec)
33333 – A value set at the upper limit of the possible rangeto ensure that the specific feature does not takeeffect until reset by the customer (example -Vehicle Speed Limiting is set at 127 mph)

Vehicle Speed Calibration
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The value (Pulses per Mile, PPM) of this parameter isused by the ECM to convert the vehicle speed signalinto miles per hour (or kilometers per hour). The valueis calculated using tire revolutions per mile, rear axleratio and the number of teeth on the transmissionchopper wheel. This parameter is programmed by theOEM.
PPM = M x Ra x NExample: 31,200 = 502 x 3.90 x 16
M = Tire revolutions per mile. This information isavailable from the tire manufacturer.
Ra = Rear Axle Ratio. This is typically found on thehousing of the rear axle, or on the specificationsheet for the vehicle
N = Number of chopper teeth on the transmissiondrive shaft where the magnetic pickup is mounted.The value is typically 16, but may be 11.

Vehicle Speed Limiting cuts off the fuel to theinjectors when the truck exceeds the programmedspeed. With the release of NOV95 Personality ModuleSoftware, VSL can be exceeded using cruise control ifthe High Cruise Control (HCC) Set Limit parameter isprogrammed higher than the Vehicle Speed Limitparameter (See page 32).
Available:Available:Available:Available:Available:All electronically controlled on-highway enginescovered in this handbook. The ability to program HCCSet Limit above VSL is available on heavy duty enginesonly.
Range:Range:Range:Range:Range:
Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Using the VSL feature allows you to “gear fast - runslow” to optimize the balance between fuel economyand performance or simply specify for the best fueleconomy. Setting VSL allows the truck operator toconsistently operate the engine and truck at fuelefficient and safe vehicle speeds. Without VSL, mosttrucks can be capable of very high vehicle speeds,due to GFRS/GFRSS spec’ing methods.

Soft Vehicle Speed Limit
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:Both Vehicle Speed Limiting (VSL) and Soft VehicleSpeed Limiting (Soft VSL) set the maximum speed ofthe truck. Vehicle Speed Limiting cuts off the fuel tothe injectors when the truck exceeds the VSL pro-grammed mile per hour value. When you choose SoftVSL, fuel delivery is modulated when VSL is reached.When the truck reaches the programmed VSL value,the fuel is not abruptly cut off. Instead, it is graduallyreduced. Soft VSL may allow the truck to exceed VSLby a maximum of 2.5 MPH (4 km/h), when the truck isusing less than 50% of the available engine horse-power.

and as a result get poor fuel economy. Also, somedrivers may not like driving with Soft VSL enabled.Some common complaints are that there seems to belower power and the truck may not feel like it can holda constant speed. However, these effects are due tothe modulated fuel delivery, and once a driver getsused to them, will still result in the advantages listedpreviously. This perceived power loss can be evenmore noticeable on trucks that are spec’ed nearminimum gradeability requirements.
Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:✔ Do not use Soft VSL unless you expect the truck to

snot be desirable. However, if Low Cruise Control is settoo high the driver will not be able to use it whenclimbing long grades.
Using the standard cruise (by setting Caterpillar’sSoftCruise speed control to “off”) can cause the driverto sense uneven fueling - rapid fuel on/fuel off. Thismay discourage the use of cruise control and nega-tively effect fuel economy and driver comfort.
Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:✔ Use cruise control by setting both the upper and
lower cruise control speed limits (HCC and LCC).
✔ Set the HCC at the highest speed you intend thevehicle to cruise. This may be above the VehicleSpeed Limit parameter setting.
✔ Do not set the cruise control limit right on top of ashift point. Driveability may be adversely affected.Check your settings against a split chart for yourdriveline.
RPM
MPH
Do not set CruiseControl Limits ontop of shift points
Incorrect Correct
✔ To take full advantage of SoftCruise, set the HighCruise (HCC) parameter to at least 3 mph below theVehicle Speed Limit Parameter (VSL).
Example: VSL = 65, HCC = 62 or less
✔ On the other hand, to encourage the use of cruisecontrol, set HCC to 3 mph above the recommendedVSL. This will result in the truck being operated incruise, with the HCC speed reached by “bumping”up the cruise.

Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Caterpillar SoftCruise speed control featureprovides a small “soft” window centered around thecruise set speed. With SoftCruise “On”, the ECM willmodulate fuel delivery for a more efficient, smoothercruise control. SoftCruise reduces the abrupt on/offfuel cycling that is common with some diesel enginecruise controls. It allows the truck to increase speedslightly above the cruise set speed while going downhill (no-load) to “warm up” the turbocharger. Thisprovides quick boost and improved engine responseon the next hill.

Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 & #2
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:With the installation of a momentary contact Fast Idleswitch, the driver can toggle the switch and theengine will go immediately to a preset RPM value.
The available RPM values are stored as the Fast IdleEngine RPM #1 or Fast Idle Engine RPM #2 parameters.The ranges for these two parameters are listed below.The engine will increase from the programmed LowIdle to the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 value when theFast Idle switch is first pressed and released. Thesecond time the Fast Idle switch is pressed andreleased, the engine will increase to the Fast IdleEngine RPM #2 value. After pressing the Fast Idleswitch a third time, the engine will return to low idle,and Fast Idle will be disabled.
The difference between the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1and #2 parameters is that the #1 parameter can beoverridden by the operator, whereas the #2 parametercannot be overridden beyond the programmed value.To override the Fast Idle Engine RPM #1 parameter, theoperator should press the accelerator pedal until thedesired rpm is reached, and then depress the Fast IdleEnable switch. This rpm will then be the Fast IdleEngine RPM #1 value as long as the ECM is powered.

Intermediate Gears Turn Off SpeedFORMERLY - LOW GEARS #2 TURN OFF SPEED
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit and Intermediate GearsEngine RPM Limit are meant to approximate idealprogressive shifting. Lower Gear Engine RPM Limitingshould be used in conjunction with Intermediate GearsEngine RPM Limiting. However, you can choose to useonly Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit if that is bestsuited to your operation.
Both Lower and Intermediate Gears RPM Limiting have“soft” rpm limits. This means if you are in a heavilyloaded condition or starting on an especially steepgrade and do not want to shift until the enginereaches higher rpm, the limit will not stop you. If notheavily loaded, it simply slows the acceleration rate ofthe engine when you pass the programmed setting,prompting the driver to shift for the most “normal”operations.
The maximum engine acceleration rate above theLower Gears Engine RPM Limit is 33 rpm/sec and 25rpm/sec for Intermediate Gears Engine RPM Limiting.
The engine can accelerate all the way to yourprogrammed Top Engine limit (TEL) when necessaryand will not be noticed by most drivers if properlyprogrammed to fit your application.
Once the Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit has beendetermined, the Lower Gears Turn Off Speed isselected as the mean vehicle speed between wherethe Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit intersects the lineof gear to be limited and the line of the next highestgear. Next, Intermediate Gear Engine RPM Limit andIntermediate Gears Turn Off Speed are selected inmuch the same way. The values for all four parametersare automatically calculated when using Cat® DesignPro.

Torque rpm + 200 rpm. Properly setting this param-eter requires a close look at many factors, includ-ing engine rating, terrain and application.
For example, heavy-duty engines are typically setat the following:
1200 rpm + 200 rpm = 1400 rpm
Note how Lower Gears and Intermediate Gears setting fit inthe total spec, especially in respect to Top Engine Limiting(stair step effect).

Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed
Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Gear Down Protection helps ensure that the truck isrun in the correct (highest possible) gear at cruisingspeed. Properly setting these parameters will keep theengine in the most fuel efficient rpm range to achievethe best fuel economy at cruising speed.
Disadvantages (possible):Disadvantages (possible):Disadvantages (possible):Disadvantages (possible):Disadvantages (possible):Some driveline combination can allow a driver to reachcruising speed in more than one gear even with thisfeature properly set. However, gear down protection isstill moderately effective in these situations andshould be used.
If the Gear Down Protection RPM Limit is set too low,the driver may have to wait too long to downshift whenclimbing steep grades with heavy loads. This maycause the driver to drop two transmission gears, whenone would have been adequate.
Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:✔ Set the Gear Down Protection RPM Limit such that
highway cruising speeds can only be reached intop gear (Use Cat® Design Pro).
✔ Set Gear Down Protection RPM Limit high enoughthat engine rpm does not drop below peak torqueplus 100 rpm during upshift.
✔ Set the Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed wellbelow the cruise speed. As with all electronic shiftstrategies, do not set “gear-on” speeds on top ofshift points.

Eaton Top 2 Override with Cruise Switch
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Eaton Top 2 Override with Cruise Switch parameteris programmed as either Yes or No. When programmedto Yes, this parameter disables the top 2 mode whenthe cruise switch is OFF and the transmission is not yetin the top 2 gears. When the cruise switch is in the ONposition, the top 2 mode is enabled. If the cruiseswitch is in the OFF position while in one of the top 2gears, the ECM will go into a hold mode where thetransmission will not be shifted from the currentlyselected gear.
Available:Available:Available:Available:Available:C-10, C-12, C-15, C-16, C11, C13, C15 heavy duty engines
Range:Range:Range:Range:Range:
Note: This feature is unavailable when the Transmis-sion Style parameter is not programmed to Eaton Top2.
Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:The Eaton Top 2 Override with Cruise Switch parametergives the operator more control over the transmissionshifting in vehicles which are equipped with Eaton Top2 transmissions.
Disadvantages:Disadvantages:Disadvantages:Disadvantages:Disadvantages:Extra consideration should be made when cresting ahill to avoid the top 2 feature from downshifting prior tocresting a hill. See recommendations below for furtherdetails.

AT/MT/HT Part Throttle Shift Speed
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The AT/MT/HT Part Throttle Shift Speed parameterprovides the ability to change the shifting characteris-tics in vehicles equipped with non-data link capableAllison transmissions. The Allison AT/MT/HT (nonelec-tronic) transmissions require an input from the engineECM to regulate transmission shifting. The ECMmonitors accelerator pedal position, engine speed,load, and cruise control status to determine if thetransmission should use closed throttle or full throttleshift modulation.
Programming the Transmission Style parameter to oneof the AT/MT/HT options activates ECM Output #7 (J1/P1:20) to control a shift interface relay connected tothe transmission. The ECM can then energize theoutput when the transmission should use full throttlemodulation (performance mode) or disable the outputwhen the transmission should use closed throttlemodulation (economy mode).

Governor Type
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:Caterpillar offers three governor options, selectablewith the Governor Type parameter. These threeoptions are the Full Range Governor, and two types ofthe Min/Max Governor.
Full Range GovernorFull Range GovernorFull Range GovernorFull Range GovernorFull Range GovernorThis governor type allows the engine to maintainengine speed for a given throttle position. The FullRange Governor is capable of injecting the maximumamount of fuel for a given desired engine speed.
The Full Range Governor is very sensitive to changesin engine speed, and is therefore not the preferredand is therefore not the preferredand is therefore not the preferredand is therefore not the preferredand is therefore not the preferredgovernor type for vehicles using automatic transmis-governor type for vehicles using automatic transmis-governor type for vehicles using automatic transmis-governor type for vehicles using automatic transmis-governor type for vehicles using automatic transmis-sions.sions.sions.sions.sions. For example, if the ECM wants to maintain 1500rpm, the governor will try to maintain the desiredspeed. When an automatic transmission performs anupshift, the actual engine speed will fall below thedesired engine speed of 1500 rpm. The Full RangeGovernor would then inject a large amount of fuel inan attempt to increase the engine speed back up tothe desired engine speed of 1500 rpm. This causesundesirable, harsh shifting with an automatic transmis-sion.
Min/Max GovernorMin/Max GovernorMin/Max GovernorMin/Max GovernorMin/Max GovernorThe Min/Max Governor, however, is well-suited forvehicles with automatic transmissions. The Min/Maxgovernor will only control engine speed when at theminimum (low idle) or maximum (top engine limit)allowed engine speed. When in between these twoextremes, the engine will produce the power propor-tional to the throttle position. This results in smoothershifting with automatic/automated transmissions.
The Min/Max Governor optimizes automatic transmis-sion shift quality and power modulation, allowing theoperator to adjust the engine power output to matchtypical vehicle operating conditions. The enginespeed will vary to find a vehicle load level which willmatch the engine power output specified by thethrottle. If the throttle is commanding more powerthan the vehicle load will offer, the engine willaccelerate to the top engine limit. This makes it verydifficult to maintain a constant engine speed when thevehicle is parked. Slightly depressing the throttlepedal with the vehicle parked will cause the engine togo to the top engine limit, which may be undesirable

Idle Shutdown Timer
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Idle Shutdown Timer is designed to shut down theengine after a specified idle period. For the shutdownto occur, certain conditions must be met for the entiretime-out period. These conditions include: no load onthe engine, cold mode inactive and vehicle speedmust be 0 (zero) mph.
If these conditions are met, then 90 seconds beforethe customer specified idle time is reached, the checkengine light will start flashing at a rapid rate. If eitherthe brake or clutch pedals are depressed during thisfinal 90 seconds when the lamp is flashing, the idleshutdown timer will be disabled, if the Idle ShutdownOverride parameter is programmed to Yes (see page83). This allows the driver to override the idle shut-down timer if necessary to keep the truck idling.
If the idle shutdown timer is overridden, the ECM willlog the override as a Logged Event. These LoggedEvents can be viewed with a service tool.
If the timer is set to 0 (zero), the Idle Shutdown featureis turned off.
If the truck/engine is wired for PTO use, the IdleShutdown Timer will not be active when PTO mode isactive. In this case PTO shutdown time would be usedfor the shutdown time. It is important that the engine/truck be wired for PTO, since if it is not, the enginecould shutdown after the idle shutdown time while inPTO mode

Allow Idle Shutdown Override
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Allow Idle Shutdown Override parameter deter-mines whether the clutch or service brake can beused to override the Idle Shutdown Timer during thelast 90 seconds of timing. The Idle Shutdown Timerparameter must be programmed to a value other than 0(zero). The Allow Idle Shutdown Override parameterhas three different settings.
YesYesYesYesYes - Allows the driver to override the Idle ShutdownTimer during the last 90 seconds of timing. (Ifthe driver does override the timer an IdleShutdown Override Event will be logged in theECM memory)
NoNoNoNoNo - The driver can notnotnotnotnot override the Idle ShutdownTimer during the last 90 seconds of timing. Inother words, the truck will always shutdown.(When the engine does shutdown at the endof the Idle Shutdown Time period an IdleShutdown Occurrence event will be logged inthe ECM memory).

Exhaust Brake Configuration
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Exhaust Brake Configuration parameter deter-mines the functionality of the exhaust brake. Thisparameter can be programmed to one of the followingoptions: None, Warm Up Device Only, Exhaust BrakeOnly, or Exhaust Brake & Warm Up Device.
The exhaust brake can be used to apply a parasiticload to the engine in order to aid engine warm up toachieve normal operating temperature quicker. To usethis feature, the Exhaust Brake Configuration param-eter must be set to either Warm Up Device Only orExhaust Brake and Warm Up Device. Also, the WarmUp Mode Idle Speed parameter must be programmedto an engine speed between 700 rpm and 1400 rpm. Ifthese preceding conditions are met, then the enginewill ramp up to the programmed Warm Up Mode IdleSpeed parameter value when the intake air tempera-ture is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and the coolanttemperature is below 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Engine Monitoring Mode
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Engine Monitoring System provides built-in enginemonitoring that can detect abnormal oil pressure, highintake manifold air temperature, high coolant tempera-ture and if an optional Coolant Level Sensor is in-stalled, coolant level. Typically, an additional Warninglamp is installed in the dash for driver notification. TheEngine Monitoring System can be programmed to oneof four different settings:
OffOffOffOffOff - Monitoring System is OffWarningWarningWarningWarningWarning - The Warning Lamp on the dash turns OnDerateDerateDerateDerateDerate - The Warning Lamp on the dash turns On and
engine power is reducedShutdownShutdownShutdownShutdownShutdown - The Warning Lamp on the dash turns On,
engine power is reduced, then the engineshuts down.
Abnormal Oil PressureAbnormal Oil PressureAbnormal Oil PressureAbnormal Oil PressureAbnormal Oil Pressure - Engine oil pressure ismonitored for all rpm and loads. For example, thiscan help prevent excessive damage if the engine isstarted without oil or if the oil pressure is too lowduring a heavy pull. Power and speed (engine rpm)are limited during the derate period following thewarning if the Derate or Shutdown settings areprogrammed. If the low oil pressure conditionpersists, the engine will shutdown if the Shutdownsetting is active.
High Coolant TemperatureHigh Coolant TemperatureHigh Coolant TemperatureHigh Coolant TemperatureHigh Coolant Temperature - Engine coolant tempera-ture is monitored to provide gradual power reduc-tions as the coolant temperature increases abovethe acceptable limits if the Engine MonitoringMode is programmed to Derate or Shutdown. Thedriver can downshift to increase rpm and coolantflow in this mode. If the high coolant temperaturecondition persists, and the Engine MonitoringMode parameter is programmed to Shutdown, theengine will shutdown.

Example: Coolant Temperature Derate/ ShutdownRated Hp = 400 HpRated Hp = 400 HpRated Hp = 400 HpRated Hp = 400 HpRated Hp = 400 HpDelta Hp = 240 Hp = 400 Hp - 160 HpDelta Hp = 240 Hp = 400 Hp - 160 HpDelta Hp = 240 Hp = 400 Hp - 160 HpDelta Hp = 240 Hp = 400 Hp - 160 HpDelta Hp = 240 Hp = 400 Hp - 160 Hp
As Coolant temperature rises to 217°F (103°C) theengine is derated by 25% of the Delta Hp. In thisexample 240 Hp x .25 = 60 Hp. The driver wouldhave 340 Hp available. If the driver reacted bydownshifting, for example, and the temperaturedid not rise, the power would stay at this level.
However, if the coolant temperature continued toincrease, to 219°F (104°C) the driver would loseanother 25% or 60 Hp and have 280 Hp in thisexample.
If the temperature continues to rise to 223°F(106°C) the maximum derate would occur. In thisexample 100% of the Delta Hp or 240 Hp. The truckwould be limited to 160 Hp or 45 MPH (72.5 km/h)which ever occurs first.
If Shutdown has been selected as the EngineMonitoring Mode, and the temperature remainedabove 223°F (106°C) the engine would shutdown20 seconds after the maximum derate had beenreached. (Shutdown Mode is not available forBrakeSaver equipped engines.)
Low Coolant LevelLow Coolant LevelLow Coolant LevelLow Coolant LevelLow Coolant Level - Coolant level is monitored if anOEM sensor is installed and the coolant leveloption is activated (See page 95). To avoid “falsealarms” a warning delay or “debounce” periodprevents the system from warning the driver if thecoolant level fluctuates rapidly, such as it couldwhile traversing bumpy terrain. Vehicle speed islimited during the derate period following thewarning if Derate or Shutdown settings areprogrammed. If the low coolant level persists theengine will shutdown if the Shutdown mode hasbeen selected.

Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The oil pressure sensor is standard on all heavy dutyon-highway engines and is an integral part of theengine monitoring system. However, the Engine OilPressure Sensor is optional on medium duty enginesand is not required for engine monitoring.
Medium duty engines have a HEUI (Hydraulicallyactuated Electronically controlled Unit Injector) fuelsystem that uses high pressure oil to inject fuel. If theengine oil pressure is too low, the fuel system cannotsupply fuel to the engine. Therefore, by the design ofthe fuel system, it is impossible to run the enginewithout sufficient engine oil pressure.
The optional Engine Oil Pressure Sensor is typicallyused to provide oil pressure information to a vehicleinstrument cluster equipped with an oil pressuregauge.

Maintenance Indicator Mode
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Maintenance Indicator will send a signal via thedatalink to either a service tool, optional Cat ID or CatMessenger, some OEM installed electronic dashdisplays or the Fleet Information Software programindicating that maintenance will be due in 3,000 milesor less. This allows for the convenient scheduling ofservice.
The preferred way for the ECM to calculate when thenext preventive maintenance (PM) is due is to com-pare the actual amount of fuel used by the engine, tothe engine oil capacity. (This method is based on thefact that engine oil additives will become depletedover time based on the amount of fuel burned and oilcapacity)
The customer has the option of setting a specific houror mileage (km) Preventive Maintenance (PM) Interval.This is done by programming the MaintenanceIndicator Mode to one of four options:
Manual - Distance Manual - Distance Manual - Distance Manual - Distance Manual - Distance – Fixed number of Miles (km)Manual - HoursManual - HoursManual - HoursManual - HoursManual - Hours – Fixed number of HoursAutomatic - DistanceAutomatic - DistanceAutomatic - DistanceAutomatic - DistanceAutomatic - Distance – ECM Calculated Miles (km)Automatic - HoursAutomatic - HoursAutomatic - HoursAutomatic - HoursAutomatic - Hours – ECM Calculated Hours
If either Manual mode is selected, the PM1 Interval(see page 102) parameter must be programmed to thedesired distance or hours. If either Automatic mode isselected, the Engine Oil Capacity (see page 105)parameter must be programmed to the oil capacity.

Thiscorrection factor is calculated by comparing theamount of fuel burned to the ECM reported value. Apercentage (+/-) is then entered into the ECM usingthe service tool or Fleet Information Software.

Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:Advantages:The Fuel Correction Factor parameter allows thecustomer to “fine tune” the ECM to insure that it isaccurately calculating the fuel consumption rate. It isimportant that the fuel rate be accurately recordedsince it is used for calculations such as fuel mileageand PM.
Disadvantages:Disadvantages:Disadvantages:Disadvantages:Disadvantages:None
Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:Recommendations:✔ Caterpillar recommends that the Fuel Correction
Factor be used only if there is a consistent and welldocumented need. At that time Caterpillar recom-mends that is only be done by an authorized dealer.
Note: This feature should not be confused with thefuel temperature power correction feature of the ECM.The ECM measures the fuel temperature and auto-matically adjusts the fuel rate to compensate for hotfuel.
If the Fuel Correction Factor is changed, it will notchange the data currently stored in the ECM. It willonly change data collected after the change.

Transmission Neutral Switch
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Transmission Neutral Switch parameter deter-mines how the ECM will receive status informationfrom the neutral switch. The factory default settinglisted below configures the ECM to monitor pin 62 ofthe Vehicle Harness Connector for a hardwired neutralswitch circuit connection. However, the ECM can alsobe configured to receive the neutral switch status viathe J1939 datalink, if the transmission ECU is capableof supporting the required broadcast messageprotocol. When the Transmission Style parameter isprogrammed to Automatic Option 3 or AutomaticOption 4, the programming expects a neutral switchinput. If the Transmission Neutral Switch parameter isprogrammed to None, then the ECM will assume thetransmission is in gear at all times.

Customer Password #1Customer Password #2
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:To protect the engine against unauthorized repro-gramming once the parameters are set, the customercan specify either one or two passwords to controlaccess to the parameters stored in the electroniccontrol module (ECM). However, the use of passwordsis not required for Cat electronic engines to operate.Both passwords can be up to eight alphanumericcharacters in length.
Once these passwords are programmed, they arerequired to gain access to the customer specifiedparameters. No one can change the pre-programmedCruise Control parameter for instance, even if theywere to have access to a service tool, without alsoknowing the correct password(s).
If the password is misplaced or forgotten the customerwill have to contact either his Caterpillar dealer orauthorized truck dealer to view the passwords. Thisrequires a higher level of security called a factorypassword.

Powertrain Data Link
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:The Powertrain Data Link parameter determines if orhow the ECM will communicate to a powertrain device,such as a wheel-slip or anti-lock brake control.Different datalinks are used by the various controlsdepending on the manufacturer of the powertraindevice.
The standard ECM for midrange engines (3126E, C7, &C9) communicates with the J1939 data link. C-10, C-12,C-15, C-16 heavy duty engines with PM OCT01 andolder can communicate with either J1922 or J1939,depending upon how it is programmed. With theJAN02 PM, the J1922 standard was no longer sup-ported, therefore all of the most current on-highwayengines support J1939 data link communication only.

Since this data can be reset by the driver at anytime, itcan be a subset of the Fleet Trip Totals.
An example can be the Fleet Trip and Driver Trip datacould be reset at the same time at the beginning of thetrip. The driver could then manually record the DriverTrip Data when he/she reached their first destination.After recording the data, the driver would reset theDriver Trip Data and proceed on with the next leg ofthe trip, manually recording and resetting after eachleg. Upon arriving back at home base the driver wouldhave the various segments written down and the ECMwould have the data for the entire trip stored in theFleet Trip Data. An evaluation could then be made,using the overall Fleet Trip Totals and the variousDriver Trip Totals of each leg.

Multi-Torque Ratings
Description:Description:Description:Description:Description:Multi-Torque is an optional engine rating that providestwo different torque or power curves for a singlerating. The engine operates on the “standard torque”curve in the lower gears and on the “multi-torque”curve in the top 4 gears. The number of gears in whichmulti-torque is operational depends on the drivetraincomponent specification. 100 lb. ft. of additionaltorque is typical at peak torque when operating in the“multi-torque” mode. See the Engine PerformanceManual for the exact amount of increased torque.
1000 1200 1400 1600 1800
Multi-Torque
Standard Torque
The ECM determines when the vehicle is in the topgears by calculating the ratio of engine speed tovehicle speed. If the ratio is greater than 71.5, theengine will operate with the standard torque curve.

Driver Reward
The Driver Reward feature is used to reward drivers forstaying within the operating limits set forth by the fleetmanager. This results in improved fuel economy forthe fleet, as well as performance incentive for drivers.The following five parameters are monitored andrecorded by the ECM to be used in Driver Rewardcalculations:
• Average Engine Speed• Average Vehicle Speed• Average Upshift RPM• Average Throttle Demand• Average Percent Idle Time
The fleet manager can prioritize these objectives byassigning a weight to each, adding up to a total of100% for all five. An objective can be effectively“turned off” by weighting it with “0”. Rewards canthen be assigned to drivers in the form of increasedVehicle Speed Limits. In addition, the averaging timeperiod over which the five objectives are calculatedcan be tailored to a specific fleet’s needs. Once thedesired objectives are set, the engine electronics takeover and manage the program.
The Driver Reward feature can reduce the variability ofa fleet’s fuel economy by placing a more strict VehicleSpeed Limit value on drivers who do not meet fleetperformance objectives. Increased vehicle speed forhigh-performance drivers will help with driver reten-tion, while reducing the Vehicle Speed Limit for poordrivers will improve overall fleet fuel economy.
The Driver Reward feature can be activated usingCaterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) or CaterpillarPocket Tec. In addition, the necessary parameters,such as the objectives weighting discussed above,and the VSL bonuses for drivers, can be programmedusing ET.
Additional information detailing Driver Reward pro-gramming will be released in the near future.

Trip Preparation
Achieving improved fuel economy begins even beforethe engine is started. Trip preparation is fundamentalto ensuring efficient fuel economy once your vehicleis on the road. The following are Caterpillar recom-mendations for trip preparation that are sure to bringabout improved fuel economy.
Check Tire PressureCheck Tire PressureCheck Tire PressureCheck Tire PressureCheck Tire PressureImproperly inflated tires can drastically reduce fueleconomy as well as diminish the life expectancy of thetires themselves.
Limit “Warm - Up” Time:Limit “Warm - Up” Time:Limit “Warm - Up” Time:Limit “Warm - Up” Time:Limit “Warm - Up” Time:Excessive idling wastes fuel, adds contaminates to theoil, and adds carbons to the combustion chamber ofyour engine. Allow the engine to warm up during thenormal walk-around inspection. The engine willapproach operating temperature while driving at lowrpm and low power as you begin your trip.
Avoid Rapid Starts:Avoid Rapid Starts:Avoid Rapid Starts:Avoid Rapid Starts:Avoid Rapid Starts:Rapid starts burn excessive fuel because the engine iswinding to high a high rpm. Instead, utilize theprogressive shifting technique (outlined on thefollowing page).
