Cat ET Service Error Identifiers
Service Error ID's are displayed when the Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) Service test has failed. The Service Error ID's are to help explain why the service has test failed. There could be cases when the service test error ID will isolate the failed component. If applicable use the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
