"Fuel Correction Factor"
The "fuel correction factor" is available to fine tune all fuel data that will be stored in the future by the ECM. Caterpillar recommends changing this factor only after a significant operating interval that includes a comparison of actual tank fuel economy to the fuel economy that is recorded in the ECM. The operating interval should also reflect a typical route. The "Fuel Correction Factor" is a percentage that is programmable in 0.5 percent increments.
| Minimum | Maximum | Default |
| −63.5 | +63.5 | 0 |
"Calculating Fuel Correction Factor"
The following formula should be used to determine the new Fuel Correction Factor (NEW FCF).
 | |
| Illustration 1 | g00629908 |
OLD FCF - Fuel Correction Factor in ECM
TANK - Actual Fuel Economy
ECM - Fuel Economy in ECM Stored Trip Data
Refer to Illustration 2 as an example. The Actual TANK fuel economy is 7.1 mpg. The Fuel Economy in the ECM Stored Trip Data is 7.0 mpg over the same distance with an OLD FCF of −2.5.

"Dash - Change Fuel Correction Factor"
This parameter allows the driver to adjust the "Fuel Correction Factor". An owner/operator would want the driver to be able to change this information, but a fleet operation might not want the driver to be able to change this information.
| Alternative | Default |
| Yes | No |
"Dash - PM 1 Reset"
This parameter determines the driver's access for resetting the PM 1 (Maintenance) after the PM 1 has been performed. Maintenance Indicator Mode cannot be programmed to "OFF" for the "PM 1 Reset" parameter to take effect.
| Alternative | Default |
| Yes | No |
"Dash - Fleet Trip Reset"
This parameter determines the driver's access for resetting the Fleet Trip Segment.
| Alternative | Default |
| Yes | No |
"Dash - State Selection"
Program this parameter to NO to disable this function of the Cat ID. The Cat ID will not show "State Selection" as an option to the driver. If this parameter is programmed to "YES" (default) the Cat ID will provide the feature of "State Selection".
Programming this parameter to "NO" eliminates "State Selection". Therefore, the storage of the trip data ("State Selection") is eliminated.
| Alternative | Default |
| No | Yes |
"Theft Deterrent System Control"
When this parameter is used with a "Theft Deterrent Password", this parameter prevents the engine from starting unless the password has been entered via the dash display of the CAT ID. Before the operator can use the feature of Theft Deterrent of the CAT ID, the system must be turned on. In order to turn on the theft deterrent, a service tool must be used to program the parameter for the theft deterrent to "YES". The operator must first enter the password before the engine is shut off. This will enable the system. Enabling the system prevents the engine from starting without re-entering the password on the next attempted start.
| Alternative | Default |
| Yes, Auto-Enable (1) | No |
| ( 1 ) | NOV99 and newer software |
"Theft Deterrent Password"
The "Theft Deterrent Password" is the password that is required by the ECM before the feature of Theft Deterrent is enabled. After the Theft Deterrent is enabled, the "Theft Deterrent Password" is the password that is required to restart the engine. All of the characters must be in the upper case.
| Alternative | Default |
| Four Characters A through Z 0 through 9 |
0000 |
"Quick Stop Rate"
This parameter determines the rate of vehicle speed change that is used by the ECM to record a Quick Stop Event Code and a Quick Stop Snapshot. This parameter is programmable from 5 kilometers per hour per second (3 miles per hour per second) to 24 kilometers per hour per second (15 miles per hour per second). This parameter is also programmable to 0, which is the default value. Programming this parameter to 0 will disable this feature and no Quick Stop Events will be logged. Each Quick Stop Snapshot contains 60 frames of information. The no. 45 Frame is the "Quick Stop occurrence". The Quick Stop Snapshot also contains 44 frames before the "Quick Stop occurrence" and 15 frames after the "Quick Stop occurrence". Each frame is separated by 1.0 second.
| ECM Snapshot Frame Data | |
| Engine rpm Throttle Position Clutch Switch |
Vehicle Speed Cruise Status Brake Switch |
The most recent Quick Stop Snapshot is stored in the ECM memory. When a Quick Stop Event occurs the ECM replaces the old Quick Stop Snapshot with the new Quick Stop Snapshot. The ECM also logs a diagnostic event code for each "Quick Stop Occurrence". The ECM stores a maximum of 255 occurrences.
| Alternative | Default |
| 5 kilometers per hour per second ( 3 miles per hour per second) to 24 kilometers per hour per second (15 miles per hour per second) | 0 kilometers per hour per second (0 miles per hour per second) |
Note: Programming the "Quick Stop Rate" too low will cause an excessive number of Quick Stop Event Codes. A vehicle without a load or a trailer will be able to stop much more quickly than a vehicle with a heavy load. If too many Quick Stop Event Codes are being logged, the "Quick Stop Rate" should be increased. This will improve the detection of the exceptions when the exceptions occur.
