The "Service" menu contains seven categories. The following is a list of the available options:
- Diagnostics
- Calibrations
- "System Information"
- Tattletale
- System Tests
- "Service Parameters"
The following explains the usage of each menu option.
Diagnostics
From the "Service" menu, use the appropriate arrow button to highlight the "Diagnostics" option. Then press the "OK" button in order to access the "Diagnostics" option. The "Diagnostics" option will display the following:
- Active Events
- Logged Events
- "Trigger Snapshot"
- "Data Logger Start"
- "Data Logger Reset"
Active Events
The "Active Events" menu option shows the control module and the service hours for each event. Press the "OK" button in order to view the information for the active event. The following is a list of information that is displayed for the active event:
- Electronic Control Module
- Event Code
- Date of occurrence
- Time of occurrence
- Warning Level
- Number of occurrences
Logged Events
The "Logged Events" menu option shows the list of events and diagnostic codes that have been recorded. Press the "OK" button in order to view the information of the event or code. Use the left arrow button or the right arrow button in order to move to the next logged event or the next code.
"Trigger Snapshot"
The "Trigger Snapshot" menu option allows the user to manually initiate a snapshot of the system. This snapshot will be in addition to the snapshots that are already programmed. The snapshot will remain active until the time has elapsed.
"Data Logger Start"
The "Data Logger Start" menu option allows the user to initiate the data logger. If the information for the data logger is being downloaded from the machine, the data logger can not be started. The operator can initiate the data logger. Then, the operator can stop the data logger. This action can be performed numerous times until the total time for logging the data is thirty minutes. The status of the data logger is shown in the right portion of the screen on the Advisor. The menu item "Data Logger Stop" will change back to "Data Logger Start" when the data logger is no longer recording data. The menu items do not change when the service tool starts the data logger. The remaining storage time of the data logger is shown on the message area when the user highlights the "Data Logger Reset" menu item on the Advisor display. The format of the time is shown in "minutes:seconds".
"Data Logger Reset"
The "Data Logger Reset" menu option allows the user to reset the data logger. This option clears all of the logged information. Select the "Data Logger Reset" menu item. The Advisor shows the time that is available for the data logger on the right side of the screen. Thirty minutes will be available after the data logger has been reset.
Note: The Data Logger is the only onboard file that can be reset through the Advisor display. The Advisor must be in the Service Mode or the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) must be connected to the data link in order to reset the data logger. Also, this is true in order to perform other service functions. The VIMSpc software is not needed in order to reset the data logger.
