System Configuration Parameters
System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions and power of the engine applications. Default values for the parameters are programmed at the factory. Some parameters may be changed by the customer in order to suit the needs of the specific application. System configuration parameters consist of the following values.
- "Selected Engine Rating Parameters"
- "ECM Identification Parameters"
- "Engine/Gear Parameters"
- "Maintenance Parameters"
- "Security Access Parameters"
The ECM Identification Parameters must be programmed if the ECM is replaced and/or you reprogram the engine rating. If a new personality module is flashed, it is not necessary to reprogram the "ECM Identification Parameters". Proper values for these parameters are available on the Cat ET. Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine information plate.
Note: If the parameters that are protected with the factory passwords are changed, the Caterpillar warranty may be voided.
Rating Configuration
The Rating Configuration is defined by the performance maps in the software.
Rated Real Genset Power
The output power of the engine in kilowatts
Rated Apparent Power
The kVA rating of the engine
Rated Frequency
The line frequency of the generator
Rating Number
The Rating Number corresponds to the selected set of performance maps for the application. This selected set of performance maps comes out of several unique sets of maps that may be resident in the flash file. The dealer and/or the OEM will need to select the appropriate rating tier, if more than one rating tier is present. The rating tier is A through E.
Rated Engine Speed
The Rated Engine Speed is the optimum speed of the engine.
Engine Serial Number
The engine Serial Number should be programmed to match the engine serial number that is stamped on the engine information plate. If the ECM is replaced, the engine serial number from the Engine Information Plate should be programmed into the new ECM.
Note: When you are requesting factory passwords, always use the engine serial number that is resident in the ECM.
Coolant Level Sensor
The coolant level sensor may be installed or not installed.
Equipment ID
Equipment ID allows the customer to enter a description into the ECM in order to identify the vessel. A maximum of 17 characters may be entered in the field. This parameter is only for reference by the customer. This parameter is not required.
Personality Module Description
The Personality Module Description describes the engine model and the fuel system of the engine.
Personality Module Part Number
The Personality Module Part Number is the part number in the Caterpillar system that indicates the software version that currently resides in the engine ECM.
Personality Module Release Date
The Personality Module Release Date is the date of release for the software in the personality module.
ECM Serial Number
The ECM Serial Number is stored in the memory of the ECM. The "ECM Serial Number" can be accessed by the use of the service tool.
Total Tattletale
The Total Tattletale parameter counts the number of changes to system parameters.
Low Idle Speed
Low Idle Speed is the minimum allowable operating speed for the engine.
Engine Acceleration Rate
The Engine Acceleration Rate is the maximum ramp rate in order to reach desired engine speed.
Engine Speed Droop
The Engine Speed Droop determines the change in the reduction of engine speed at full load from the engine speed at no load. Droop can be adjusted for stability of engines with different rates of speed changes. Engine Speed Droop allows the operator to equalize the load between engines that are operating in parallel.
Droop Mode Selection
Droop Mode Selection allows the customer to select either droop or isochronous mode.
Governor Gain Factor
The Governor Gain Factor is a parameter that is used in determining the engine's rate of response to an engine load.
Governor Minimum Stability Factor
Governor Minimum Stability Factor functions in order to eliminate steady state speed error. The parameter is used by the ECM when the steady state speed error is less than 20 rpm.
Governor Maximum Stability Factor
Governor Maximum Stability Factor functions in order to eliminate steady state speed error. The parameter is used by the ECM when the steady state speed error is greater than 20 rpm.
FLS (Full Load Setting)
FLS is a number that represents the adjustment to the fuel system that was made at the factory in order to fine tune the fuel system. The correct value for this parameter is stamped on the engine information plate. Factory passwords are required.
FTS (Full Torque Setting)
FTS is similar to "FLS". Factory passwords are required.
Control Ether Starting Aid (C18)
The control has the following features:
- Pulse operated
- Able to disable the control in Cat ET
- The control has automatic controls and manual controls.
- This tracks the amount of ether used and able to reset the tracking.

Wiring Considerations
The Caterpillar supplied engine wiring harness must not be modified in any way that may affect the engine operation.
All of the terminals and the splices on the J61/P61 customer connector should be sealed with Raychem ES2000 adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. An equivalent substitute may be used. Refer to Table 8.

Harness Routing
Illustration 1 | g00878503 |
Harness routing |
The routing of the OEM wiring harness should be designed so that the radius of any bend is greater than two times the diameter of the wiring harness. Curvatures should be avoided within 25 mm (1.0 inch) of any connector in order to avoid seal distortion (moisture entry path).
Requirements for the Battery Circuit
Grounding
NOTICE |
---|
Improper grounding can cause uncontrolled or unreliable circuit paths and electrical noise. This can result in damage to the engine bearings, and other engine components. |
Proper grounding of the unit and the engine electrical systems is necessary for proper performance and reliability.
Negative Battery Connection
All return paths to the negative battery must be capable of carrying any likely fault currents.
The starter should be connected directly to the negative battery post. The alternator must be connected to the negative battery, bus bar, or negative side of the starter motor.
Welding on a Vessel that is Equipped with an Electronic Controlled Engine
Refer to the appropriate Troubleshooting Guide for more information about welding on a vessel that is equipped with an electronic controlled engine. Also refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information about welding.
Switched Positive Battery and Unswitched Positive Battery
Illustration 2 | g00854176 |
Note: All battery connections to the ECM must be utilized in order to prolong the service life of the ECM.
The electronic control system can operate on either a 12 V electrical system or a 24 V electrical system. The switched positive battery and the unswitched positive battery connections to the ECM are made at the P61 Customer connector.
The ECM receives electrical power through the input for the switched positive battery. Protection for this circuit must be rated at 15 Amp (12 V or 24 V system).
The input for the unswitched positive battery is used to power the ECM memory that contains maintenance information and certain logged diagnostics. Protection for the unswitched positive battery circuit is specified as 20 Amp.
Powering the electronic control system through dedicated circuits with circuit breakers reduces the possibility of performance problems of the electronic control system. This also minimizes the chance of an engine shutdown due to a short in the electrical system. Additional loads should not be connected between the ECM and the circuit protection for the ECM.
Note: Do not use in-line fuses for circuit protection. Caterpillar recommends the use of circuit breakers for circuit protection. Circuit breakers should be located with other devices for circuit protection in a centrally located, dedicated panel. If circuit breakers that automatically reset are used, consideration of the environment of the location of the breaker is critical and the effect on the trip point is critical. The trip point of some circuit breakers can be significantly reduced below the rated trip point if the circuit breaker is exposed to high temperatures. This can cause intermittent shutdowns that result with needless replacement of electronic components.
Suppression of Transient Voltage
The installation of transient suppression at the source of the transient is recommended. Refer to Illustration 4. Caterpillar follows a stringent electrical environment standard that is similar to SAE recommended practices.
The use of inductive devices such as relays and solenoids can result in the generation of transient voltage in electrical circuits. Transient voltage that is not suppressed can exceed SAE specifications and lead to the degradation of the performance of the electronic control system.
Illustration 3 | g00875659 |
Use of a diode in a relay as a transient voltage suppressor |
The OEM should specify relays and solenoids with built-in voltage transient suppression. Refer to Illustration 3 for ways to minimize transient voltage from relays and solenoids without built-in voltage transient suppression. Techniques include the installation of a diode or resistor of the proper size in parallel with the solenoid or the relay coil. Other techniques may also be used.
Inductive devices such as relays or solenoids should be located as far as possible from the components of the electronic control system.
Wiring harnesses that are installed by the OEM should be routed as far as possible from the wiring harness of the electronic control system in order to avoid problems that are associated with electrical noise.
Examples of devices that require suppression of transient voltages include any device that switches inductive loads on and off. The following list provides examples of such devices:
- Solenoids (trim tab solenoids, etc)
- DC electric motors
- Relays that use the same power and ground as the sensor
The following list provides other examples of situations that may cause transient voltages:
- Improperly grounded electronic components
- Improperly grounded cable shields
- Improperly grounded antennas
- Signal wires that are installed too closely to power wires
All of the components that are connected to the ECM must have return wires (ground) that are connected to the engine's - Battery. The return wires (ground) should be connected as close to the battery as possible. Caterpillar recommends the use of a separate return wire for each component. Each return wire (ground) should be attached to the engine's - Battery bus bar.
Caterpillar recommends the use of a 218-4935 Arc Suppressor on all inductive devices such as relays and solenoids. The 218-4935 Arc Suppressor is not polarized. This arc suppressor can be wired into the circuit without any concern for the direction of current flow.

Pull Test
The pull test is used to verify that the wire is properly crimped in the terminal and the terminal is properly inserted in the connector.
Perform the pull test on each wire. Each terminal (socket or pin) and each connector should easily withstand 45 N (10 lb) of pull and each wire should remain in the connector body.
Installation of Terminals and Seal Plugs
Illustration 6 | g00878501 |
Installation of seal plugs |
Illustration 7 | g00738352 |
Terminal connections |
Adherence to the following requirements will ensure the correct installation of terminals in the connectors.
Do not solder the sockets and pins to the wires.
Never crimp more than one wire into a socket or a pin. The 186-3735 Connector Pin and the 186-3736 Connector Socket are designed to accept only one 16 or 18 AWG wire. The 9W-0844 Connector Socket and the 9W-0852 Connector Pin are designed to accept only one 14 AWG wire. Never crimp multiple wires in any connector pin, or any connector socket.
All sockets and pins should be crimped on the wires. Use the 1U-5804 Crimp Tool for 12 to 26 AWG wire.
All unused cavities for sockets and pins must be filled with 8T-8737 Seal Plugs in order to ensure that the connector is sealed. The seal plugs must be installed from the wire insertion side of the plug or receptacle. The seal plugs must seal correctly. The head of the seal plug should rest against the seal. Do not insert the head of the seal plug into the seal. Refer to Illustration 6 for correct installation of plugs.
J61/P61 Customer Connector
Illustration 8 | g00735800 |
Customer connector (40 pin) |
Tighten the allen head screw into the customer connector to a torque of 2.25 ± 0.25 N·m (20 ± 2 lb in). All unused cavities for the sockets and the pins must be filled with 8T-8737 Seal Plugs in order to ensure that the connector is sealed.
The acceptable diameter of the insulation for a wire that is connected to the customer connector is 2.54 to 3.43 mm (0.100 to 0.135 inch).
Deutsch DT Connectors
A Deutsch DT connector has a wedge that acts as a lock for the connector pins and the connector sockets. The wedge can be removed and replaced without cutting the wires. The 147-6456 Wedge Removal Tool (DT Connector) aids in the removal of the wedges. When the receptacle is inserted into the plug, an audible click should be heard as the two halves lock together. After the DT connector has locked, you should not be able to pull apart the connector.
The acceptable range for the diameter of the insulation on the wire that is used with the DT connectors is 2.54 to 3.43 mm (0.100 to 0.135 inch).
Inspect the plug and the receptacle in order to ensure that the following conditions are met:
- The connector seals are properly seated.
- The pins and sockets are not damaged.
- The pins and the sockets are securely installed in the connector.
- Both halves of the connector have an equal number of pins and sockets.
- The pins are aligned correctly with the sockets.
- The connector's locking tabs are not damaged.
- The connector's wedges are not damaged.
Deutsch HD Connectors
Ensure that the wires in the plug align with the corresponding wires in the receptacle. Ensure that the index markings on the plug and the receptacle are aligned. Rotate the plug until the plug slips into the receptacle. Rotate the collar of the coupling by approximately 90 degrees until a click is heard. Ensure that the plug and the receptacle cannot be pulled apart.
The acceptable range for the diameter of the insulation of the wire that is used with the connectors is 2.54 to 3.43 mm (0.100 to 0.135 inch).
Switches
Switch Specifications
All switches that are provided by the OEM and connected to the ECM must provide a two wire electrical connection. These switches must be externally connected to the negative battery bus bar. Switches which are grounded internally to the case must not be used.
Supplied voltage from the ECM to the switches will not normally exceed 12 VDC. Normal current through the switches will not exceed 5.0 mA.
Momentary opening or closing of the switches and contact chatter should not exceed 100 milliseconds in duration. Vibration or shock that is normally found in the application should not cause opening or closing of the switches.
The plating on the contacts should not be susceptible to corrosion or oxidation. Gold plated switch contacts are recommended.
When a switch contact is opened or the wiring harness has an open circuit, the internal pull up voltages of the ECM force the respective input to 12 VDC. Closing an OEM installed switch must short circuit the switch input to the negative battery bus bar. Refer to the section on ""Battery Circuit Requirements" " in this publication.
All switches are supplied by the OEM. If a problem occurs with an undetermined cause, connect Cat ET and observe the status of the switch. Refer to the appropriate Troubleshooting Guide for your engine.

Voltage Specifications at the ECM
When any of the switch contacts are closed, the voltage drop through the switch circuit must be less than 0.9 VDC. This measurement should be taken at the respective control input and the input for the negative battery at the ECM. This measurement includes the following values:
- Ground potential differences
- Voltage drop across the switch
- Voltage drop across the wiring harness
When any of the switch contacts are open, the resistance between the respective control input and the input for the negative battery at the ECM should not be less than 5000 Ohms. Potential paths for leakage may exist within the following components:
- Connectors
- Harnesses
- Switches
Note: Switches that are installed by the OEM must be connected to the negative battery bus bar.

The P61 customer connector utilizes a 8T-9834 Connector Plug As . All circuits that are connected to the P61 customer connector require a 186-3736 Connector Socket . Any unused cavities in the connector must be filled with 8T-8737 Seal Plugs . The torque for the allen head screw is 2.25 ± 0.25 N·m (20 ± 2 lb in).
Note: Earlier engines were equipped with a 40-pin customer connector. Newer engines are equipped with a 70-pin customer connector.
Sensor Return Connections
Certain components that interface directly with the ECM are connected to the dedicated sensor returns at the P61 customer connector. Separate sensor returns are provided for analog signal and digital signals. Refer to the Electrical System Schematic.
Note: Do not connect negative power or positive power for the throttle position sensor to the J61/P61 customer connector.
Connecting switches and/or the throttle position sensor to the sensor returns at the P61 customer connector can degrade the performance of the electronic control system. These components must be connected to the negative battery bus bar. These components must be connected to the negative terminal of the battery. For more detail, refer to the Electrical System Schematic for your application.
J42 Customer Supplied Service Tool Connector
An additional service tool connector is recommended in applications that have limited accessibility to the J60 engine service tool connector. Proper wiring of the J42 customer supplied service tool connector is essential for reliable communication of data. Use 143-5018 Electrical Cable and dedicated terminal strips for all data connections. Mount the terminal strips in a central location in order to minimize the overall length of the data link cable. The total length of the data link cable should not exceed 30 m (100 ft).

The transducer will require the correct 1/4 NPT boss fitting for your application. The wire between the buffer and the transducer should be clamped. Also, the wire between the buffer and the connector should be clamped in order to prevent abrasion from rough surfaces.
Desired Speed Input
Note: In order to avoid problems with the throttle position sensor circuit that are associated with transient voltages, refer to ""Suppression of Transient Voltage" ".
Care should be taken when you consider the mounting location of the throttle position sensor. The sensor must be located as close to the control as possible. Avoid any linkage and/or cable lengths that are excessively long. These excessive lengths will generally require more frequent adjustment.
When you wire the throttle position sensor, avoid running the wires along other power wires. Run a dedicated return circuit (ground) back to the - Battery bus bar that is connected to the engine's batteries. In addition, the power to the throttle position sensor must come from the same power source (engine's batteries) as the rest of the electronic control system.
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) eliminates the mechanical throttle and governor linkages. The TPS interprets the position of the throttle lever into an electrical signal that is sent to the ECM. The throttle position signal and the engine speed/timing signal are processed by the ECM in order to precisely control engine speed.
PWM throttle for desired Engine Speed
The control system accepts a 500 Hz PWM frequency signal input in order to determine the desired engine speed. This input must be activated using the primary/secondary throttle configuration parameter. The input will be translated to a desired engine speed.

Primary/Secondary Desired Engine Speed Configuration
This feature allows the user to select a primary and secondary desired engine speed input to the control system by using configuration parameters in Cat ET. The primary input will be used only if the primary input is available. The control system will use the secondary input, if the primary input fails and the secondary input is configured.
Desired Engine Speed using J1939 CAN Data link
The control system will accept a desired engine speed by using J1939 CAN data link.
Starter Interlock
The starter interlock output is shorted to ground when the starter interlock is active. This will be active when the engine speed is equal to zero. The starter interlock will remain active until the engine speed is greater than 500 rpm. If the output is inactive the output will remain inactive until the engine speed is equal to zero.
Overspeed Verify
The command for the overspeed verify will force the overspeed shutdown speed threshold to be reduced to 75% of the programmed value for the duration of the test. The command for the overspeed verify can be sent from the diagnostic test menu in Cat ET.
Reset Switch
The input for the reset switch can be used to clear latched shutdown events. In order to reset an event the engine speed must be equal to zero. Also, the condition that created the event must no longer be present.
The Droop Set Point for the Desired Engine Speed Using Cat Data link
The speed droop adjustment is the percentage of reduction in engine speed at full load from a reduction at no load. This function is important because the speed droop determines the distribution of the load among several engines. Droop can be adjusted, as needed, for stability of engines with different rates of engine speed changes. Droop function allows for load division between two or more engines connected for operation in parallel.
Lamps and Switches (C9)
Installation of both a warning alarm and a diagnostic lamp is strongly recommended in order to alert the operator of problems that may be detected by the ECM. The warning lamp will come on for five seconds when the ECM is first powered up in order to indicate that the lamp circuit is functional.

Electrical Specifications for the Lamp Circuit
Electrical specifications for the low side drivers that are used for the diagnostic lamp and the warning lamp allow a maximum current load of 0.30 Amp (300 mA). The ECM does not provide diagnostic codes for either lamp circuit.
Low side drivers provide a path to the negative battery terminal in order to activate the device (lamp, etc) that is connected to the circuit. While circuit protection is recommended for the lamp driver circuits, Caterpillar does not require dedicated circuit protection.
Diagnostic Lamp Operation
Installation of a diagnostic lamp is recommended. The diagnostic lamp is used to alert the operator of a malfunction of the electronic control system (active diagnostic code).
Caterpillar's proprietary two-digit flash codes can be viewed from the diagnostic lamp. A sequence of flashes represents the system diagnostic message (flash code). The first sequence of flashes represents the first digit of the flash code. After a two second pause, a second sequence of flashes which represent the second digit of the flash code will occur. Any additional flash codes will follow after a pause. These flash codes will be displayed in the same manner.
Note: Flash codes should only be used to indicate the nature of a diagnostic condition. Do not use flash codes to perform detailed troubleshooting. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Flash Codes" for more information about flash codes.
Warning Lamp or Alarm Operation
Installation of a warning lamp is recommended. The warning lamp is used to alert the operator of an engine operating condition (event code) which has the potential to cause engine damage.
The warning lamp will come on for five seconds when the ECM is first powered in order to indicate that the lamp circuit is functional.
Maintenance Lamp and Maintenance Clear Switch
The maintenance lamp illuminates in order to alert the operator when scheduled maintenance is due. The accumulated values for the maintenance interval in the ECM are reset to zero when the maintenance clear switch is activated.
Note: For more information on the maintenance interval, refer to the Parameters Table for your engine.
The maintenance indicator lamp will turn on when the programmed maintenance interval has passed. When the ECM is powered, the maintenance indicator lamp will turn on for five seconds.
The maintenance clear switch is used to reset the maintenance interval after maintenance on the engine is performed.

Droop / Isochronous Mode Control Switch
A switch can be used to override the governing mode when the ECM is properly configured.
Rated Speed Switch
Note: The rated speed switch will override any throttle input. This is either the PWM or the J1939.
The rated speed switch will allow the engine to run at the exact rated speed. The Ground position is the rated speed. The Open position is the normal speed or the selected data link mode.
Low Idle Control Switch
The low idle control switch will allow the engine to run at the programmed low idle speed. The Ground position is the low idle speed. The Open position is the rated speed. The rated speed is either the data link mode or PWM.
Emergency Shutdown Switch
The control system will activate the emergency stop event based on the status of the emergency switch input. If the input is active, no event will be active. If the input is not active, an emergency stop event will be activated. The engine will stop when the emergency shutdown switch is moved to the OPENED position. The remote shutdown switch must be moved to the CLOSED position in order to restart the engine. The ECM must be powered down or the reset switch toggled in order to restart the engine.

Illustration 33 | g00783003 |
Connections from the engine room to the bridge |
Correct wiring of the CDL is essential for proper display operation. The CDL requires the use of the 143-5018 Wire (twisted pair wiring). The installation is required to have a terminal strip that is dedicated to the connections for the CDL. This terminal strip must be placed at a location that will minimize the length of the wire that is required for the CDL. Only one set of twisted wire shall run to the displays on the bridge. If a second operator station requires a display, perform the following procedure:
- Begin the data wires at the terminal strip in the engine room.
- Continue the wires to the first station.
- Wiring will then continue from the first station to the second station.
