ACTION REQUIRED
Update the software on the machine. Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) 2013B and VIMSpc 2011A or newer should be used to perform these software updates. Note: Create a full Product Status Report (PSR) and ECM replacement files for the machine before performing the updates as some configurations and settings could be erased during the software installation process. This will allow a point of reference to restore the settings of the machine after the update. Refer to the attached Rework Procedure. |
