New software for the machine ECM is now available for the above listed machines. The new 316-1445 Machine Software Gp is a direct replacement for previous software groups on the above listed machines.

The new 316-1445 Machine Software Gp contains the following enhancements that will improve performance:

• The new software improves the event codes for the hydraulic oil temperature event activation by increasing the activation temperature.

• The new software eliminates the possible loss of configuration parameters under low voltage conditions with some 262-1408 Electronic Control Modules and 252-2422 Electronic Control Modules (ECM).

• The new software improves the event codes for the high speed directional shift event by increasing the event activation speed.

• The new software decreased the action alarm self-diagnostic time and the AccuGrade feature alarm self-diagnostic time from 3 seconds to 1 second during the ignition on event.
