C13 Engines Caterpillar

There are two types of configuration parameters:system configuration parameters and customer configuration parameters.

System Configuration Parameters

System configuration parameters affect the emissions of the engine or the power of the engine. The parameters are stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM). Use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to view the values of the parameters and change the values of the parameters. Refer to Troubleshooting Guide, "System Configuration Parameters" for further information.

Customer Configuration Parameters

Customer specified parameters allow the vehicle owner to influence the operating technique of a driver. Some parameters may affect engine operation in a way that would not be expected by an inadequately trained driver. These parameters may lead to power or performance complaints even though the engines performance is within the engines specification.

Customer parameters may be changed repeatedly as a customers operation changes or as new drivers are assigned to a truck. Customer passwords are required to change these parameters. The customer password must be programmed into the Engine Control Module (ECM).

Refer to Troubleshooting Guide, "Customer Specified Parameters" and refer to Troubleshooting Guide, "Customer Specified Parameters Table" for further information.

Worksheet for Customer Specified Parameters

Use the following worksheet in order to record the parameters for your engine.
