Configuration Parameters
The engine electronic control module (ECM) has two types of configuration parameters. The system configuration parameters and the customer specified parameters.
The electronic service tool is required in order to alter the configuration parameters.
System Configuration Parameters
System configuration parameters affect the emissions of the engine or the power of the engine. System configuration parameters are programmed at the factory. Normally, system configuration parameters would never require changing through the life of the engine. System configuration parameters must be reprogrammed if an ECM is replaced. System configuration parameters do not require reprogrammed if the ECM software is changed. Factory passwords are required to change these parameters.

Customer specified parameters allow the engine to be configured to the exact needs of the application.
The electronic service tool is required in order to alter the customer configuration parameters.
Customer parameters may be changed repeatedly as operational requirements change.
