2.0 Engine Component Overview

2.1 Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM is located on the left rear side of the engine. The ECM has two connectors, one for the Caterpillar Engine
Harness, the other for the Vehicle OEM Harness.
2.2 Coolant Level Sensor
The Coolant Level Sensor is required by Caterpillar. The Coolant Level Sensor will be set to a factory setting of
“Not Programmed”. A 253-2 Check Customer or Systems Parameter fault will be active. The check engine light
will be illuminated until the coolant level sensor is programmed.
2.3 Intake Manifold Air Pressure Sensor (Boost)
The Intake Manifold Air Pressure Sensor is an absolute pressure sensor measuring intake manifold air pressure.
Boost Pressure as displayed by service tools and communicated over the data link is the value obtained by
subtracting the atmospheric pressure from the absolute value measured by the Boost Pressure Sensor for
C13 & C15 engines. The sensor is supplied 5 volts DC by the engine ECM. The C13 & C15 engines include
a Boost Sensor as standard equipment.
2.4 Oil Pressure Sensor
The Oil Pressure Sensor is an absolute pressure sensor measuring oil pressure in the oil gallery. The difference
between the pressure measured by this sensor (oil pressure) and the atmospheric pressure is the Oil Pressure
as displayed on the service tools and communicated over the data link. The ECM uses this sensor input for engine
monitoring. The sensor is supplied 5 volts DC by the engine ECM. The C13 & C15 engines include an Oil Pressure
Sensor as standard equipment.
2.5 Fuel Pressure Sensor

3.3 Engine Monitoring – Sensors

3.3.1 Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor
Intake Manifold Air Temperature is monitored to warn the operator of excessive intake manifold air temperature.
Excessive intake manifold air temperatures will not cause the ECM to derate or shut down the engine when
Engine Monitoring is programmed to Derate or Shutdown. Intake Manifold Air Temperature must exceed the
triggering temperatures for 30 seconds while the engine is running and the engine coolant temperature is above
99° C (210° F) before a Diagnostic Code is generated and logged.
In addition to the Amber Warning Lamp, the Red Stop Lamp is also turned ON if the Red Stop Lamp is
programmed.
3.3.2 Oil Pressure Sensor
Engine oil pressure is monitored and can be programmed to automatically protect the engine from operating
without sufficient oil pressure. The Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop Lamp will turn on (if programmed) at
the Low Oil Pressure trip point. At the Very Low Oil Pressure trip point the Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop
Lamp will be turned on. The C13 & C15 engines use different trip points to determine the Low and Very Low Oil
Pressure values and the associated diagnostic codes.
When programmed to Derate the Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop Lamp will turn on at the Low Oil Pressure
trip point. At the Very Low Oil Pressure trip point the Red Stop Lamp will flash and the engine will be derated.
When programmed to Shutdown the Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop Lamp will turn on at the Low Oil
Pressure trip point. At the Very Low Oil Pressure trip point the Red Stop Lamp will flash during engine derate and
the engine will shut down after 30 seconds.
If the Low Oil Pressure Lamp is programmed, the Low Oil Pressure Lamp will also be illuminated during a Low Oil
Pressure or Very Low Oil Pressure Event.
The Red Stop Lamp and the Low Oil Pressure Lamp can be used separately, or in conjunction with each other.
3.3.3 Coolant Temperature Sensor
C13 & C15 engines include a Coolant Temperature Sensor as part of the standard sensor package. Engine coolant
temperature diagnostic condition trip points have been established for High and Very High Coolant Temperatures.
With the Engine Monitoring System programmed to Derate, the Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop Lamp
will turn on at the High Coolant Temperature trip point. The Red Stop Lamp will flash at the Very High Coolant
temperature trip point and the engine power will be derated 25%. The engine will be derated an additional
25% for each Degree C above the initial diagnostic code trip level. At 100% derate, the engine is derated to
160 horsepower and 45 mph in vehicle speed.
When programmed to Shutdown, the Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop Lamp will turn on at the High Coolant
Temperature trip point. The Red Stop Lamp will flash at the Very High Coolant temperature trip point and the engine
will be derated. After approximately 25 seconds the engine will be shut down.
If the High Coolant Temperature Lamp is programmed, the High Coolant Temperature Lamp will also be illuminated
during a High Coolant Temperature or Very High Coolant Temperature Event.
The Red Stop Lamp and the High Coolant Temperature Lamp can be used separately, or in conjunction with
each other.
NOTE: When programmed to Shutdown, the engine will shut down approximately 25 seconds after the engine
has exceeded the diagnostic trip point for Very High Coolant Temperature. The engine could shut down before
the engine completes the full derate process.
3.3.4 Coolant Level Sensor
The engine coolant level sensor is an optional sensor for C13 & C15 engines equipped with the Caterpillar
Regeneration System.
The coolant level sensor default is “None”.
The OEM is responsible for providing, installing, and programming the ECM to monitor the coolant level sensor.
Trip points and times have been established for Low and Very Low Coolant Levels.
With the Engine Monitoring System programmed to Derate, the Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop Lamp will
be turned on at the Low Coolant Level trip point. At the Very Low Coolant level trip point the Red Stop Lamp will
flash and the engine will be derated.
When programmed to Shutdown, the Amber Warning Lamp and the Red Stop Lamp will be turned on at the
Low Coolant Level trip point. At the Very Low Coolant level trip point the Red Stop Lamp will flash and the engine
will be derated. After 40 seconds the engine will shut down.
If the Low Coolant Level Lamp is programmed, the Low Coolant Level Lamp will also be illuminated during a
Low or Very Low Coolant Level Event.
The Red Stop Lamp and the Low Coolant Level Lamp can be used separately, or in conjunction with each other.
The Low Coolant Level Lamp is optional.
3.3.5 Low Coolant Level During an Engine’s First 6 Hours of Operation

If a low coolant level condition is detected during the first six hours of engine operation, an OEM clearable fault
(111-14) will be recorded. This delay in logging of low coolant level events will allow OEMs to purge air trapped in
the engine’s cooling system during the assembly process. After the engine has logged 6 hours of engine running
time, the diagnostic faults and events for Low (111-17) and Very Low Coolant Levels (111-01) will be logged into
the ECM’s nonvolatile memory. Service technicians are required to contact Caterpillar for permissions to clear
Low (111-17) and Very Low (111-01) Coolant Level events from the ECM’s memory.
3.3.6 Intake Manifold Pressure (Boost)
3.3.6.1 Low Intake Manifold Air Pressure
C13 & C15 engines monitor the Intake Manifold Air Pressure (Boost). The C13 & C15 engines use different trip
points to determine the Low Intake Manifold Air Pressure values.
The engine will not be derated or shut down for this fault condition.
3.3.6.2 Very Low Intake Manifold Air Pressure
C13 & C15 engines monitor the Intake Manifold Air Pressure (Boost). The C13 & C15 engines use different trip
points to determine the Very Low Intake Manifold Air Pressure values.
When programmed to derate the engine will be limited to 50% of rated power.
The engine will not shut down if the engine monitoring system is programmed to shutdown for this fault condition.
3.4 Engine Monitoring Programmed to “Warning”
When Engine Monitoring is programmed to Warning, the ECM monitors oil pressure, coolant temperature, intake
manifold air temperature, and coolant level. The following table indicates the diagnostic codes available, their trip
point, and their effect on engine performance when active. The Amber Warning Lamp will turn on and the Red Stop
Lamp will illuminate as indicated in the table when the diagnostic code is active.

3.5 Engine Monitoring Programmed to “Derate” or “Shutdown”

If Engine Monitoring is programmed to Derate or Shutdown the ECM will alter engine performance when operating
parameters are exceeded. Whenever the engine is derated, the Amber Warning Lamp (due to active diagnostic)
and Red Stop Lamp will flash. For the DERATE column in the following table, mph indicates vehicle speed is
limited (maximum speed is 72.5 km/h [45 mph]), “pwr” indicates engine power is limited (maximum derate is 160 hp
[119 kW]), and rpm indicates engine speed is limited (maximum derate is 1,350 rpm). For operating conditions

3.7 Aftertreatment System Monitoring

The Caterpillar Regeneration Programmable Monitoring System monitors the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) Temperature
and Pressure Sensors. If a monitored Caterpillar Regeneration System (CRS) parameter exceeds normal
conditions, one or more lamps will be turned on and one or more diagnostic codes will be logged. There are
three Customer Programmable Levels for the Caterpillar Regeneration Programmable Monitoring System.
1. *Warning (ER Rating Only)
2. Derate
3. Shutdown
*The Warning Option will be available for Emergency Vehicle Horsepower Ratings only.
3.7.1 Aftertreatment Monitoring Lamps
The High Exhaust System Temperature Lamp, and Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp are recommended for all
Caterpillar Engines equipped with the Caterpillar Regeneration System (CRS).
3.7.2 Aftertreatment Monitoring Lamps and OEM Requirements
The OEM is responsible for programming and installing the required High Exhaust System Temperature Lamp and
the Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp.
The Aftertreatment Monitoring Lamp options are part of the Caterpillar Regeneration System. The Aftertreatment
Monitoring Lamp options can be programmed to either High Side Drivers (2 Amp) or Low Side Drivers (GND).
The Caterpillar Regeneration Programmable Monitoring System Lamps are programmable to selectable ECM
terminal locations. These selectable ECM terminals are outlined in the table below.
1) Lamp connected to J1/P1: terminal for High Exhaust System Temperature Lamp.
2) Lamp connected to J1/P1: terminal for Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp.

3.8 Aftertreatment Monitoring-Sensors

3.8.1 Aftertreatment Monitoring-Particulate Filter #1 Differential Pressure
Particulate Filter #1 Differential Pressure is monitored to warn the operator of excessive pressure across the Diesel
Particulate Filter(s). This could be caused by excessive soot loading across the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) or failure
to properly perform a regeneration of the diesel particulate filter(s).
When a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter is needed the Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp will be illuminated.
If a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) is not initiated (programming dependent) the Diesel Particulate
Filter Lamp will flash indicating regeneration is needed. Possible engine derate or shutdown could occur if a
regeneration is not initiated (programming dependent) or is disabled (programming dependent).
There is no specified time before the engine will shut down.
3.8.2 Aftertreatment Monitoring-Particulate Filter #2 Differential Pressure
Particulate Filter #2 Differential Pressure is monitored to warn the operator of excessive pressure across the Diesel
Particulate Filter(s). This could be caused by excessive soot loading across the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) or failure
to properly perform a regeneration of the diesel particulate filter(s).
When a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter is needed the Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp will be illuminated.
If a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) is not initiated (programming dependent) the Diesel Particulate
Filter Lamp will flash indicating regeneration is needed. Possible engine derate or shutdown could occur if a
regeneration is not initiated (programming dependent) or is disabled (programming dependent).
There is no specified time before the engine will shut down.
3.9 Aftertreatment Monitoring Programmed to “Derate”

If Aftertreatment Monitoring is programmed to Derate or Shutdown the ECM will alter engine performance when
operating parameters are exceeded. Whenever the engine is derated, the Amber Warning Lamp (due to active
diagnostic) and Red Stop Lamp (if programmed) will flash. The Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp will also flash
indicating a regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is needed. For the DERATE column in the following table
“pwr” indicates engine power is limited (maximum derate is 100% or 119 kW [160 hp]). For operating conditions
causing these codes see the appropriate section for the sensor under consideration.

3.10 Aftertreatment Monitoring Programmed to “Shutdown”

When the Aftertreatment Monitoring System is programmed to Shutdown, the engine monitors the Differential
Pressure Sensors. This is a measured shut down, shut down times may vary due to the amount of soot loading in
the Diesel Particulate Filters, how fast the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) is/are accumulating soot, and Exhaust System
Temperatures.
The engine will enter a derate prior to the engine shutdown. Times between engine derate and engine shutdown
due to soot loading in the Diesel Particulate Filter vary. Variances in these times is dependent on engine operation
conditions and temperatures.

Figure 10 – Aftertreatment Monitoring Lamp

When Soot Load reaches 175% the engine will shut down (programming dependent). The Red Stop Lamp will flash
thirty seconds prior to shutting down.
When the engine is restarted there is a thirty second debounce time that allows the ECM to monitor the
aftertreatment device. Once the thirty second debounce time is expired and conditions still exists to shut the engine
down, the Red Stop Lamp will begin flashing. After thirty seconds the engine will shut down.
3.11 Level 4 Regeneration
When soot load in the Diesel Particulate Filter reaches Level 4 the engine will shutdown. The engine may be restarted,
but operation will be limited to 60 seconds before engine shut down. The engine will continually shutdown every
60 seconds.
Caterpillar does not allow a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter once Level 4 has been reached. The vehicle
will need to be towed to the nearest Caterpillar Service Dealer for service.
The Aftertreatment Monitoring System will need to be programmed to “Shutdown” for the engine to shutdown once
Level 4 has been reached.
*For Emergency Ratings the engine will continue to run if Level 4 has been reached. No shutdown will occur.
3.12 Additional Diagnostics with Engine Derate Associated

C13 & C15 Engine equipped with the Caterpillar Regeneration System require additional sensors to be monitored.
By monitoring these sensors it is necessary to derate the engine to maintain emissions. The following table outlines
additional parameters that will derate the engine, but are not part of the Engine or Aftertreatment Monitoring
System. This list contains fault codes that effect engine performance, but are not considered detrimental to the
engine or the aftertreatment regeneration system.
Derate values vary between ten and twenty percent of rated horsepower.

4.0 OEM Installed Component Requirements and Features

All of the functions described in the following text are available or enhanced if the vehicle OEM provides and installs
appropriate components. Many of the features require programming of Customer Parameters as well as hardware
components. The components (and programming of customer parameters) required for each feature are listed with
the particular feature description. It is assumed the associated wire harness necessary for component connection
is part of the component.
4.1 Power and Grounding Requirements and Considerations
The ECM requires un-switched power and ground connections. An Ignition Key Switch input is used to turn the
ECM ON, allowing the engine to start and run.
4.2 Grounding
Proper grounding for vehicle and engine electrical systems is necessary for proper performance and reliability.
Improper grounding results in unreliable electrical circuit paths. Stray electrical currents can damage main
bearings, crankshaft journal surfaces, and aluminum components. They can also cause electrical noise, degrading
control systems, vehicle, speedometer, and radio performance. These problems are often very difficult to diagnose
and repair.
All ground paths must be capable of carrying any conceivable fault currents. An AWG #4 or larger cable is
recommended between the engine ground stud and the frame or starter negative post to handle alternator currents.
A maximum of three ring terminals are to be connected to the engine ground stud to insure ground connection
integrity. More than three terminals can cause the stud to loosen too easily. Caterpillar recommends splicing like
size wires together as a method of reducing ring terminal congestion at the ground stud.

4.3 Engine Connection To Vehicle Battery Ground

To insure proper functioning of the vehicle and engine electrical systems, there must be a direct wire path from
the engine ground stud to the battery negative post. Caterpillar prefers this connection route through the starter
negative post.
A connection routed to a main frame ground, can also be made if the following guidelines are followed:
1. Connections to the frame must not be made with star washers. Star washers should not be counted on to
remove paint from painted surfaces. Use flat washers for this connection, with the paint completely removed
in this area.
2. Any paint must be completely removed from the frame rail at the point where the connection is made. Failure to
do so reduces the effectiveness of the connection.
3. The ground path is not made through frame cross members. Bolted connections of frame cross members may
not always provide required continuity for this critical connection.
4. Conductive grease or other methods used to reduce/eliminate the affect of corrosion on the frame rail
connection.
Caterpillar does not recommend a connection from the engine ground stud to the main frame rail at a connection
point different than where the battery ground connection is made. A two-point frame rail connection method
depends on frame rail connections. Manufacturing process control of frame rail connections is difficult to control.
This multiple frame rail connection scheme is also more difficult to troubleshoot.
4.4 ECM Negative Battery Connections
Caterpillar requires the OEM to install the ECM “-Battery” wires into their harness connector. These connections
should be #14 AWG GXL wire.
4.5 C15 Ground Stud
The C15 engine ground stud, located on the cylinder head, is a 3⁄8 inch × 16 Thread Stud with 7/8 inch stud length.
4.6 C13 Ground Stud
The C13 engines use a M8 × 1.25-6g thread stud with a 20 mm stud length located on the cylinder head.
4.7 Air Starter Equipped Vehicles
A connection from main frame ground can be used if the following guidelines are followed:
1. Connections to the frame must not be made with star washers. Star washers should not be counted on to
remove paint from painted surfaces. Use flat washers for this connection, with the paint completely removed
in this area.
2. Any paint must be completely removed from the frame rail at the point where the “-Battery” connection is made.
Failure to do so reduces the effectiveness of the connection.
3. The ground path is not made through frame cross members. Bolted connections of frame cross members may
not always provide required continuity for this critical connection.
4. Use conductive grease or other methods to reduce/eliminate the affect of corrosion on the frame rail connection.
4.8 Sensor Common Connections
Only those components interfacing directly to the ECM should be connected to the ECM Sensor Commons.
ECM Connector P1 terminal 5 should be used to connect the ground side of the following engine control connected
items: all OEM installed switches (used for engine control purposes – cruise control switches, clutch pedal position
switch, service brake pedal position switch, A/C high pressure switch), engine retarder solenoid switches and the
accelerator pedal position sensor. These components must not be connected to any vehicle ground.
Additional Sensor Common connections are also available. ECM terminal-18 (Input Sensor Common #1) and
terminal-3 (Input Sensor Common #2) can be used if required by the harness design, for example, to splice all
cab components together at terminal 5, and engine compartment components at terminal-18 or terminal-3.
Caterpillar recommends that J1/P1: 3 (Input Sensor Common #2) remain open for Aftermarket/Body Builder
connections. If additional Sensor Common connections are required, please contact Caterpillar.
All switches connected to the control system must be externally grounded, two wire design. Internally grounded
or case grounded switches must not be used.
OEM installed components used as inputs to the ECM must not be connected to the vehicle or cab ground,
and must not be case grounded. OEM installed switches must be grounded to an ECM Sensor Common via a
dedicated return line to the ECM
Terminal Description ECM Terminal Assignment

AP Sensor/Switch Common Terminal 5 (J1/P1: 5)
Input Sensor Common #1 Terminal 18 (J/P1: 18)
Input Sensor Common #2 Terminal 3 (J1/P1: 3)
4.9 Suppression Of Voltage Transients

Caterpillar recommends transient suppression be installed at the source of the transient in addition to the
suppression in the ECM. Caterpillar controls are designed to comply with SAE J1455.
The use of inductive devices such as relays and solenoids can result in the generation of voltage transients on the
battery lines. Unsuppressed voltage transients can exceed SAE J1455 specifications and degrade control system
performance. Some specific devices that should use transient suppression are fan clutch solenoids, A/C clutch
solenoids, and all relays. This is not an all-inclusive list. The OEM should specify relays and solenoids with built-in
voltage transient suppression on the vehicle where possible.
This includes, but not limited to, installing a properly sized diode or resistor in parallel with solenoid and relay coils.
Inductive devices should be located to maximize the distance from control system components. OEM installed
wiring harnesses should be routed to maximize the distance from the control system wiring harness to avoid
inductive coupling of noise transients.
Power Power Power Power
Figure 13 – Voltage Transient Suppression Diagram

4.10 EMI/RFI Testing
Caterpillar EMI/RFI testing on the C13 & C15 is performed at both the component and system level.
Component level testing is performed in a TEM cell and screen room. This radiated susceptibility testing is
performed using the substitution method.
Limited in-vehicle radiated susceptibility testing is also performed.
4.11 ECM Positive Battery Connections

There are four un-switched positive battery connections to ECM Connector J1/P1 terminals 48, 52, 53, and 55;
necessary for the C13 and C15 electronics system. Other battery connections may be necessary, but do not
directly connect to the ECM.
In addition to suppressing inductive loads, powering the control system on a dedicated fused circuit will reduce
the possibility of degraded control system performance due to voltage transients. No additional loads should be
connected between the ECM and ECM circuit protection.
To prevent shut down in the event of a short circuit in the vehicle harness the control system must be powered
on a dedicated protected circuit. The wire size must be #14 AWG GXL. This connection should be made through
un-switched battery providing power when the vehicle key switch is in the OFF position. Circuit protection for this
circuit is recommended to be a total of 40 amps (10 Amps each positive Battery wire) and rated for a continuous
duty load of 40 Amperes at 12 Volts DC. Caterpillar prefers the circuit protection be located in the cab if
possible. If not in the cab the circuit protection should be located in an easily accessible, and on-vehicle-
documented location for service.
The ECM monitors ECM battery voltage, and triggers a diagnostic code if the voltage to the ECM drops below
6 Volts DC and then returns above 6 Volts DC.
4.12 Voltage Requirements and Considerations
The control system has been designed to operate on 12 Volt or 24 Volt electrical systems. The control system
is protected against jump start conditions and short circuits to positive battery and negative battery.
For 24 Volt applications, a different ECM and actuators are required. Contact Caterpillar for further details
concerning 24-volt applications.
Minimum voltage requirements and maximum current draw for the C13 & C15 control system is as follows:
Condition Minimum Voltage Maximum Current Draw

Normal Operation 11.0 V 36.0 Amperes
Engine Cranking 6.0 V 13.0 Amperes
Ignition Key On, Engine Off 9.0 V 3.0 Amperes
Minimum voltages are specified at the OEM connector (P1 – terminals 52, 53 and P1 – terminals 65, 67).
4.12.1 Operation in 24 Volt Systems
The C13 & C15 engine can operate in 24-volt electrical systems. Circuit protection is 40 amps (same as 12 volt
systems). 24 Volt electrical systems require a different ECM and other components than 12 volt electrical systems.
Contact Caterpillar for further details concerning 24-volt applications
4.12.2 Other Battery Connections
The pedal mounted accelerator pedal position sensor does not require separate circuit protection because it is
powered from the ECM provided +8V. Installation of a remotely mounted accelerator pedal position sensor still
requires separate +Battery circuit protection for this circuit. Integration of a Caterpillar factory installed engine
retarder eliminates separate circuit protection for the retarder solenoid circuit.
4.12.3 ECM Supplied +5V and +8V
These supplies are designed to provide power for connection to the OEM provided and installed 4-Pin Coolant
Level Sensor (+5V), and Caterpillar provides OEM installed Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (+8V). No other
vehicle components can be connected to these supplies.
4.13 Ignition Key Off Current
The ECM draws less than 1.0 Amperes while the Ignition Key Switch is OFF.
4.14 Welding on a Vehicle Equipped with a C13 or C15 Engine

Before welding on a vehicle equipped with an electronic engine, the following precautions should be observed.
1. Turn the engine OFF. Place the ignition key switch in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. If the vehicle is equipped with a battery disconnect
switch, open the switch.
3. Clamp the ground cable of the welder to the component that will be welded. Place the clamp as close as
possible to the weld.
4. Protect any wiring harnesses from welding debris and spatter. Use proper welding procedures in order to weld
the materials.
NOTICE
DO NOT use electrical components in order to ground the welder. Do not use the ECM, engine sensors,
aftertreatment sensors, Diesel Particulate Filter housing, or any other electronic component in order
to ground the welder. Clamp the ground cable for the welder to the component that will be welded.
Place that clamp as close as possible to the weld. This will reduce the possibility of damage to the
bearings of the drive train, hydraulic components, ground straps, and other components of the vehicle.

5.4 Sealing Splices and Ring Terminals
Caterpillar requires all ring terminals and splices connected to the Engine ECM be sealed using Raychem ES2000
or equivalent.
5.5 OEM Harness Routing
Routing of the harness should insure connector seals are not stressed because the harness curvature is
too close to the connector. This applies to routing of OEM lines on or near the engine harness as well as the
OEM ECM Connector.
Avoid wire harness bends that are too close to the connector. When this occurs the connector seal is stretched
away from the wire, providing an opening for moisture entry. The wire should exit perpendicular to the connector
before curving as necessary for routing. The harness bundle should have a bend radius greater than twice the
harness diameter.
Caterpillar recommends the OEM harness supplier pre-form the harness to provide the correct bend radius,
assuring connector sealing and preventing harness abrasion.

5.6 Harness Tie Down Point

The ADEM A4 ECM has a OEM harness tie-down point mounted to the ECM. A flexible strap may be employed
to secure the OEM harness to this bracket. The use of this bracket requires a different harness dress cover called
an End Bell.

An AMP 776498-1 (Caterpillar part number 237-0336) Connector Endbell is available to provide additional protection
and controlled wire routing for the harness at the ECM. This is a new part number for the ADEM A4 control.
Figure 19 – J1 ECM Endbell Cover

5.8 Twisted Pair Wiring
Twisted pair wiring must be used for the SAE J1587 Data Link and the vehicle speed signal wires. There should
be a minimum of one twist per inch within the harness. All twisted pair wires should not be twisted within an inch
of the connector to avoid seal stress. The speedometer and tachometer outputs should also use twisted pair wiring.
SAE J1939 Data Link wiring should comply with SAE J1939/11 specifications. Please see the electrical schematics
located in Chapter 1.
6.0 Diesel Particulate Filter(s) Connectors and Wiring Harness Requirements

6.1 Diesel Particulate Filter(s)
It is the OEMs responsibility to properly connect the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) harness between the Diesel
Particulate Filter and the Engine. The Engine and the Diesel Particulate Filter housing are shipped separately.
6.2 Diesel Particulate Filter(s) Connector Part Numbers (Single DPF Installation)
The Diesel Particulate Filter uses a 6 pin Ampseal connector to interface to the Caterpillar engine harness and
the Diesel Particulate Filter housing. AMP part number 776433-1, Caterpillar part number 230-5010. The Diesel
Particulate Filter harness will have the same connector on each end, this is a direct pin to pin connection.

6.7 Diesel Particulate Filter Housing
The Diesel Particulate Filter Housing is shipped separately from the engine. Inside the DPF Housing are the
Diesel Particulate Filters. Mounted to the DPF Housing are sensors critical for the Caterpillar Regeneration System
to function properly. Exhaust temperatures and pressures are monitored by the engine ECM. For proper operation
the OEM needs to install the DPF Harness from the engine to the DPF Housing.
7.0 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensors

The accelerator pedal position sensor converts the mechanical accelerator pedal position into an electrical signal
for the ECM. Caterpillar requires one of the sensors described in this document for use with an accelerator pedal.
Caterpillar part numbered sensors 266-1466 or 266-1467 have a three pin Deutsch DT Connector.
Caterpillar requires the use of the Caterpillar Accelerator Pedal Sensor only. The Caterpillar
sensor has been specifically designed for use with the Caterpillar ECM and software.
Installation and use of other throttle sensors is prohibited.
Figure 24 – Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor with Deutsch 3 Pin Connector

Caterpillar part numbered sensor 266-1468 with a Packard Connector.
Figure 25 – Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor with Packard 3 Pin Connector

The accelerator pedal position sensor and ECM are designed to comply with FMVSS124 (Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 124). The sensor also meets the SAE J1843 Recommended Practice.
266-1466, 266-1467, and the 266-1468 sensors mount directly to the accelerator pedal. This eliminates the need
for accelerator pedal linkages and OEM adjustments. These sensors are designed to operate from the ECM + 8V
supply. The 266-1466 (81 cm [32 inch] harness with Deutsch connector), 266-1467 (15 cm [6 inch] harness with
Deutsch connector), and the 266-1468 (15 cm [6 inch] harness with Packard connector) use the same sensor but
have different connectors or pigtail lengths as described.
7.1 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Electrical Specifications

The sensor output is a constant frequency signal whose pulse width (duty cycle) varies with accelerator pedal
position. The Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal is expressed as a percentage.
25% Duty Cycle
75% Duty Cycle

Figure 26 – Example PWM Signals
NOTE: When the ECM is first powered, it automatically calibrates (auto-cal) new values for the low idle and high
idle throttle positions. It assumes 22 percent is low idle and 75 percent is high idle. As a result, the Throttle Position
status may initially reach 100 percent well before the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, this is normal. Following
some cycling of the accelerator pedal between the low and high idle positions, the ECM will adjust its calibration
automatically, provided the high idle stop position is within the 75 to 90 percent duty cycle range, and the low idle
is in the 10 to 22 percent duty cycle range. During initial operation it may require more accelerator pedal movement
for the Throttle Position status to increase above 3 percent Throttle Position, and the status may reach 100 percent
Throttle Position prior to the mechanical limit of the high idle position. This is done to ensure the throttle can reach
these two critical points during engine operation.
7.2 ECM +8V Cab Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Supply
This sensor supply is designed to provide power for connection to Caterpillar provided, OEM installed Cab
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (+8V). No other vehicle components can be connected to this supply.
7.3 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Connector

The 176-1602 (81 cm [32 inch] harness) and 176-1604 (15 cm [6 inch] harness) Accelerator Pedal Position
Sensors require a Deutsch DT06-3S-EP04 (Caterpillar part number 3E-3367) mating connector with a Deutsch
W3S (Caterpillar part number 3E3368) connector plug wedge.

7.3.8 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Connection

The 266-1466 accelerator pedal position sensor is designed to operate on 8 Volts DC supplied by the ECM.
The ECM supplied +8V, AP Sensor/Switch Sensor Common, and Accelerator Pedal Position wiring must be
connected to the control system through an OEM harness. Current draw for the sensor is less than 40 mA.
AP Sensor/Switch Sensor Common must not be connected to the vehicle cab ground. Connecting AP Sensor/
Switch Sensor Common to the vehicle cab ground can degrade control system performance. AP Sensor/Switch
Sensor Common must be connected to the ECM at the OEM connector (P1 terminal-5) via a dedicated return line.
Connector terminal assignments are as follows:
Sensor Terminal Assignment ECM Terminal Assignment Terminal Description

Terminal A J1/P1: 4 + 8 Volts DC
Terminal B J1/P1: 5 AP/Sensor Common
Terminal C J1/P1: 66 Accelerator Pedal Position Signal
7.3.9 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Duty Cycle

The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APP Sensor) mounts directly to the pedal and should not be adjusted
by the OEM. The OEM must insure that pedals supplied by the pedal manufacturer meet the following specification
for sensor output duty cycle.
Accelerator Pedal Position Duty Cycle

Low Idle 10% – 22%
High Idle 75% – 90%
The pedal assembly should also conform to SAE J1843.

NOTE: The ECM automatically calibrates (auto-cal) new duty cycle values for the Low Idle and High Idle throttle
positions each time the ECM is powered. The ECM initially assumes 22 percent duty cycle is low idle and
75 percent duty cycle is high idle. As a result, the Throttle Position Status may reach 100 percent well before the
accelerator pedal is fully depressed. This is normal operation and will continue until the ECM learns the limits of
the low and high idle stops. Following some cycling of the accelerator pedal from the low to the high idle positions,
the ECM will adjust its calibration automatically, provided the high idle stop position is within the 75 to 90 percent
duty cycle range, and the low idle is in the 10 to 22 percent duty cycle range.
During normal operation it may initially require more accelerator pedal movement for the Throttle Position Status
to increase above 3 percent (low idle) and the Throttle Position Status may reach the 100 percent (high idle)
value prior to the limit of the high idle position. This is done to ensure the throttle reaches these two critical points
for engine operation. As the ECM learns the physical limits, the range is expanded as long as it is within the values
specified above. If the Duty Cycle value goes outside of the expected range, a diagnostic code will be activated.
NOTE: There is no direct correlation between the Sensor Duty Cycle value and a Desired Engine RPM. For example,
it is not possible to input a 50% duty cycle value and expect the engine to operate at 1,800 rpm. This is due to the
Auto-Cal function which constantly calibrates for the low and high idle stop positions.
7.4 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor for Remote PTO Applications
Caterpillar provides several dedicated PTO features that can be used by programming specific Customer
Programmable Parameters. For applications also requiring variable engine speed control from outside of the cab
during PTO Operation, a second accelerator pedal sensor input is provided on the ECM. This input is provided
for the connection of ONE +12V Accelerator Position Sensor than can be used when the engine is operating in
Dedicated PTO Mode. This requires a PTO On/Off Switch Circuit to be installed. When this input is in use, the
Cab Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor is ignored. Caterpillar recommends the 161-8906 accelerator pedal position
sensor for remote PTO applications. The sensor provides the same signal as the 266-1466, 266-1467 and the
266-1468 sensors, but requires battery voltage (12 or 24 volt systems) to operate. This Sensor must NOT be connected
to the +8V supply intended for the Cab Sensor, nor can the Cab Sensor be connected to a +12 Volt supply.
Figure 29 – 219-2384 Accelerator Position Sensor with Deutsch HD Connector

7.4.1 219-2384 Accelerator Position Sensor Connector
The 219-2384 is supplied with a 3-terminal Deutsch HD plug connector (HD16-3-96S, Caterpillar P/N 8T-8731).
The connecting harness will require a Deutsch HD receptacle connector (HD14-3-96P, Caterpillar P/N 8T-8732).
7.4.2 Mounting the Remote Accelerator Position Sensor

The 219-2384 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor can be attached to either an accelerator pedal assembly (contact
the vehicle OEM for parts) or a Caterpillar 107-2281 PTO Accelerator Assembly. The PTO Accelerator Assembly
does not include a handle. It may be used in applications where a mechanical linkage is required. The accelerator
position sensor mounts directly to the PTO Accelerator Assembly and does not require additional sensor calibration.

7.4.3 Remote Accelerator Position Sensor Assemblies
Two Remote Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Assembly packages are available from Caterpillar that include the
161-8906 sensor and mounting hardware. The 134-0597 assembly provides the 161-8906 sensor mounted to a
control arm lever. The 134-0670 assembly provides the 161-8906 sensor mounted to an adjustable dial mechanism,
which can be automatically reset to the low idle position or locked into place at a specific position.
NOTE: The Remote Throttle PTO Configuration requires the Remote Throttle to be returned to the Low Idle position
upon engine start up, in order for Remote Throttle control to be provided. If the engine is started with the PTO
Switch ON and the Remote Throttle at a position above Low Idle, the engine will be limited to Low Idle until the
Throttle is returned to the low idle position.

Input #8 (terminal-68) is available for use as a Remote Accelerator Input for Remote Throttle PTO applications.
1) Accelerator pedal or other mechanical linkage.
1) PTO Configuration programmed to Remote Throttle, or Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command.
7.5.1 Remote Accelerator Pedal Sensor Input Electrical Specifications
The 161-8906 sensor requires connection to battery voltage (12 VDC or 24 VDC) instead of the ECM supplied
8 VDC.
7.5.2 Remote Accelerator Pedal Sensor Common Connections
Three different Sensor Common terminals can be used (J1/P1: 5, 3 or 18) to ground the Remote Accelerator Pedal
Position Sensor to the ECM. However, Caterpillar recommends that Input Sensor Common #2 (terminal-3) remain
open for aftermarket/body builder installation.
8.0 Vehicle Speed Circuit

Vehicle speed to the ECM is necessary in order to enable the following features:
1. Cruise Control
2. PTO Control with Vehicle Speed Limit Kickout
3. Idle Control with Vehicle Speed Limit Kickout
4. Auto Retarder in Cruise
5. Progressive Shifting
6. ECM Controlled Speedometer
7. Vehicle Speed Limiting
8. Soft Vehicle Speed Limit
9. Up shift Engine Speed Control
10. Idle Shutdown Timer
11. Trip Recorder Functions
12. Secure Idle – Theft Deterrent
13. Caterpillar Regeneration System Operation
If the application does not require any vehicle speed related features, the vehicle speed circuit may not be required.
If the Vehicle Speed Input is not used, the VSL Protection Parameter should be programmed to 2,120 rpm to prevent
any Vehicle Speed Faults from occurring during engine operation.
8.1 Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation
The vehicle speed sensor must be installed in a location where vehicle speed will not be generated when the
vehicle is stationary. The vehicle speed sensor should be installed where a vehicle speed signal is generated only
when the vehicle is moving.
Failure to properly install the vehicle speed sensor may result in undesired engine performance,
and undesired aftertreatment operation, which may result in personal injury or death.
For split shaft PTO applications the vehicle speed sensor should be installed on the drive shaft.
8.2 General Vehicle Speed Source Requirements
Caterpillar recommends using single coil passive magnetic speed sensors for the vehicle speed sensor detecting
speed via a transmission chopper wheel. The sensor should connect directly to the ECM using twisted pair wiring.
The vehicle speed sensor must detect vehicle speed directly from the transmission output shaft. The source should
be a rigid chopper wheel immune to noise inducing vibration. Caterpillar does not recommend use of less rigid
tone wheel rings using magnetic disks to provide the change in magnetic flux for the vehicle speed source.
This arrangement is prone to vibration induced electrical noise. The sensor must not be detecting vehicle speed
through a system that uses a cable linkage such as a mechanical speedometer drive to the transmission output
shaft. The cable will tend to twist as torque is applied, causing opposing ends to deviate erratically from each other.
This twisting results in erratic fluctuations in the vehicle speed signal, causing cruise control/PTO and Vehicle
Speed Limit malfunctions.
Caterpillar will accept vehicle speed broadcast over the SAE J1939 Data Link from either the transmission or ABS.
Caterpillar will not accept vehicle speed from the SAE J1587 Data Link for control system purposes. Because vehicle
speed is critical to cruise control operation, any unnecessary and erratic signal delays are unacceptable, as well as
the reduced accuracy associated with SAE J1587 vehicle speed sources.
The signal frequency from the vehicle speed source should be between 0 and 5.3 kHz.

1. Passive Vehicle Speed Sensor, or Electronic Speed Source (J1939).
2. J1939 Data Link wiring.
1. Vehicle Speed Calibration parameter must be programmed.
2. Vehicle Speed Input source (hardwired or J1939 data link source).
8.3 Passive Magnetic Vehicle Speed Sensor Electrical Requirements
The passive vehicle speed sensor must be a magnetic sensor with the sensor output signal resulting from variation
in magnetic flux. Output voltage from the sensor at the ECM (at connector J1/P1 terminals 32 and 33) should not
be less than 0.70 Volts peak to peak (referenced to the ECM connector battery terminals) when vehicle speed
is greater than two mph. Twisted pair wiring should be used to connect the vehicle speed sensor to the ECM.
Caterpillar recommends a minimum of one twist per inch.
8.4 Passive Magnetic Vehicle Speed Circuit Options
The vehicle speed sensor outputs must connect to the OEM connector J1/P1 – terminals 32 and 33. Magnetic
vehicle speed sensor connections to the control are not polarity sensitive (the wiring diagram terminal labels are
“Vehicle Speed In +” and “Vehicle Speed In -”, “Vehicle Speed In -” must not be used as a ground, connected
to ground, or connected to the ECM Sensor Common). Twisted pair wiring is specified to reduce extraneous
noise interference into this critical circuit.

8.4.5 Dual Coil Speed Sensor
Dual coil magnetic speed sensors are not recommended because of the increased risk of electrical noise coupling
into the engine control vehicle speed circuit. Ground noise from the circuit connected to the speedometer ground
will be coupled into the vehicle speed circuit of the engine control degrading system performance.
8.5 Vehicle Speed Connections To Automatic Transmissions with Electronic Vehicle Speed Source
Some electronically controlled transmissions do not have a passive magnetic vehicle speed signal available.
For these transmissions, follow the guidelines indicated below.
When a single ended signal is used, a signal with an amplitude greater than 4.0 volts is required for the ECM
vehicle speed input.
NOTE: Proper grounding is required to ensure the ECM Vehicle Speed Input Signal is of the same ground potential
as the ECM ground reference. Improper grounding may result in lost or intermittent vehicle speed signals.

NOTE: Do NOT connect terminal-33 to ground when using an electronic vehicle speed source.
No other devices should be receiving vehicle speed from the Vehicle Speed line providing vehicle speed to the
Caterpillar ECM. Caterpillar recommends using the Caterpillar ECM Speedometer Driver for the speedometer
signal, SAE J1587 Data Link, or the SAE J1939 Data Link.
8.6 General Requirements for J1939 Transmission Output Shaft Speed Based Vehicle Speed Source
The ECM can be configured to receive Vehicle Speed Information from an Electronic Transmission Control Unit
via the J1939 data link. The Transmission must be capable of supporting the J1939 ETC1 Broadcast Message
(PGN 61,442 Bytes 2&3), which provides transmission output shaft speed. The OEM is responsible for determining
if the transmission is capable of supporting the required message protocol. This feature also requires the necessary
J1939 data link hardware to be installed in chassis.
When configured for the J1939 option, the ECM Vehicle Speed Input Circuit (J1/P1 terminals 32 & 33) will be
ignored. The ECM uses the Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) parameter value to calculate vehicle speed, based
on the programmed value and the output shaft speed (received over the J1939 data link). The Vehicle Speed Cal
(J1939-Trans) setting is based on Output Shaft revolutions per mile. The OEM is responsible for determining the
specific value for any given chassis. There are several methods to arrive at this value.
1. Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) = Transmission Output Shaft revolutions per mile
2. Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) = Transmission Speed Sensor pulse per mile
Number of Teeth on Output Shaft Chopper Wheel
3. Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) = (Tire revolutions per mile) × (Axle Ratio)
1. Transmission ECU capable of supporting required J1939 message protocol.
2. J1939 Vehicle Data link.
1. Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans) parameter must be programmed for correct Trans Output Shaft revs per mile.
2. Vehicle Speed Input parameter must be programmed to J1939-Trans option.
J1939 ABS Wheel Speed Based Vehicle Speed Source

The ECM can be configured to receive Vehicle Speed Information from an Antilock Brake System (ABS) via the
J1939 data link. The ABS must be capable of supporting the J1939 High Resolution Wheel Speed Broadcast
Message (PGN 65,134 Byte 5-8), which provides wheel speed from the two rear wheels. The OEM is responsible
for determining if the ABS is capable of supporting the required message protocol. This feature also requires the
necessary J1939 data link hardware to be installed in the chassis.
The ABS will broadcast the ASSUMED tire revolutions per mile. If this value is the ACTUAL tire revolution per mile,
the calibration value will be one (1.0). If the ASSUMED tire revolutions per mile is not the same as the ACTUAL tire
revolutions per mile, then the Cal factor can be calculated in the following manner.
Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939 ABS)
ABS Assumed tire revolutions per mile = 500
Actual Tire revolutions per mile = 400
Vehicle Speed Cal = 400/500 = 0.800
1. ABS capable of supporting required J1939 message protocol.
2. J1939 Vehicle Data link.
1. Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-ABS) parameter must be programmed for correct tire revs per mile.
2. Vehicle Speed Input parameter must be programmed to the J1939-ABS option.
9.0 ECM Speedometer and Tachometer Outputs

9.1 Speedometer and Tachometer
The engine control provides a complementary (10V speedometer (30,000 pulses per mile or 4,000 pules per mile)
and tachometer signal (12.0 – 500.0 pulses per revolution). The ECM receives the vehicle speed from an OEM
installed sensor and scales it to provide a speedometer signal. A speedometer may also be driven from either the
SAE J1587 Data Link or the SAE J1939 Data Link.
The tachometer does not require an external sensor. Engine RPM may be accessed from either the SAE J1587
Data Link or the SAE J1939 Data Link.
1. Vehicle speed source (for speedometer only).
1. Vehicle Speed Calibration (for speedometer only).
2. Tachometer Calibration (default is 134.0).
3. Speedometer Calibration (default is 30,000 ppm)
Note: The speedometer output from the ECM can be programmed to output a 4,000 pulses per mile signal to the
speedometer. This option is used only on GM chassis.

9.2 Speedometer and Tachometer Output Specifications and Connections
Terminal Description ECM Terminal Assignment Voltage

Speedometer + Terminal 36 ±9 V
Speedometer – Terminal 37 ±9 V
Tachometer + Terminal 38 ±9 V
Tachometer – Tachometer –39 ±9 V
The optional speedometer driver provides a signal from the ECM (OEM Connector P1, terminals 36 and 37),
as does the tachometer driver (Connector P1 terminals 38 and 39). The signals are zero-crossing square waves
with an amplitude (unloaded) of ±9 Volts. The amplitude of the signals will be ±5 Volts or greater when the load
current is less than 4 mA. For those speedometers or tachometers requiring two signal lines, the output at
terminal 36 is the complement of terminal 37 and the output at terminal 38 is the complement of terminal 39.
Connect either one of the two output lines from the ECM for speedometers or tachometers with a single input
terminal. Leave the remaining line unconnected. When the control senses vehicle or engine speed, the driver
signals will provide the following output voltages (unloaded).
NOTE: Do not connect the negative terminal of the ECM Speedometer or Tachometer Output to Sensor Common
or Vehicle Ground.

Figure 39 – Speedometer/Tachometer Signal vs. Load
The output signal for the speedometer is 30,000 or 4,000 pulses per mile (programming dependent:, and for the
tachometer the signal is programmable from 2.0 – 500.0 ppr (programming dependent) (pulses per revolution,
selectable in 0.1 increments through a Customer Parameter). Note that Caterpillar still provides a threaded hole
in the flywheel housing for a magnetic engine speed sensor. Caterpillar requires twisted pair wiring if both signal
connections from the ECM to the speedometer or tachometer are made. This is to prevent radiated electrical noise
problems. Cab grounding of the speedometer is acceptable.
9.3 Connection Of Devices Other Than A Speedometer/Tachometer

Do not connect these drivers to more than a single speedometer and tachometer. For questions regarding
simultaneous connection, or connection of additional devices to these drivers contact Caterpillar. Caterpillar
requests device specifications, a sample of the intended additional device, a connection diagram for vehicle
installation, and sufficient lead time to evaluate this request.
9.4 Speedometer and Tachometer Output Accuracy
9.4.1 Speedometer Signal Accuracy
The engine control processes the vehicle speed input signal using the pulses per mile as determined by the
customer programmable Vehicle Speed Calibration parameter. It is then scaled for the speedometer driver
at 30,000 pulses per mile. The most likely source of error for the output signal is incorrectly programming the
ECM or speedometer pulses per mile, and drive line variations such as tire wear.
There are five sources of signal processing error of the vehicle speed by the ECM:
1. ECM input resolution is ±2 µsec.
2. Vehicle Speeds less than 1.5 miles per hour are ignored.
3. Rounding error due to division (scaling from pulses-in to pulses-out per mile).
4. ECM output resolution is ±2 µsec.
5. ECM sampling of the vehicle speed occurs every 30 mS.
9.4.2 Tachometer Signal Accuracy
The tachometer driver accuracy is ±5 rpm.
10.0 Lamp Outputs

The ECM provides nine outputs that can be used in a variety of ways depending upon Customer Parameter
programming. Lamp Outputs are available as High Side (2 Amp Output) or Low Side (0.3 mA) drivers.
Properly programming and wiring the chassis is the OEMs responsibility.
The Amber Warning Lamp, Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp, and the High Exhaust System Temperature Lamp are
required by Caterpillar Inc.
10.1 Engine Monitoring Lamps
The programmable Engine Monitoring System parameter provides the option of using a single Red Stop Lamp
for all monitored conditions, or to provide the option of using individual lamps for specific monitored conditions.
The Red Stop Lamp, Low Oil Pressure Lamp, High Coolant Temperature Lamp, and Low Coolant Level Lamp
can each be used independently, or in conjunction with each other.
For example: The Low Oil Pressure Lamp can be used in conjunction with the Red Stop Lamp. If a Low Oil
Pressure Fault is detected, the Check Light, Red Stop Lamp, and Low Oil Pressure Lamp would all be illuminated.
The Red Stop Lamp and Low Oil Pressure Lamp would flash when the engine is being derated.
10.2 Aftertreatment Regeneration Monitoring System

than 20 mph, this lamp will not be illuminated. A regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter (s) will be initiated if
conditions are met to allow the Caterpillar Regeneration System to function.
If a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter (s) is not initiated, the Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp will flash
at 1 Hz. This flash rate indicates soot loading in the Diesel Particulate Filter is increasing, an engine derate or
shutdown could occur (programming dependent).
The Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp will flash continuously, if the Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Regeneration
Disable Switch is in the ON position, and regeneration can be performed.

to the level of action the ECM is taking to respond to the condition. The lamp is ON continuously while the engine
is in the warning mode but the engine performance is not being altered to force driver action.
The Red Stop Lamp will flash when the engine is in the derate mode, indicating the ECM has begun to force driver
action and is reducing available horsepower and the maximum vehicle speed.
If the Engine Monitoring Mode parameter is programmed to Shutdown, the Red Stop Lamp will flash during engine
derate and will continue to flash after the engine has shut down. The Red Stop Lamp will come on for two seconds
at key ON to check the lamp and circuit function.

11.0 Coolant Level Sensor

The Engine Coolant Level Sensor is optional for all MY07 Caterpillar engines.
One of three coolant level sensor types may be used to monitor coolant levels. One option is “4 Pin”. This type
of sensor is available from Cooper-Standard (formerly Robert Shaw). Another option is “2-Wire Float”. This is a
resistor ladder type sensor. The third option is a “2 Pin Switch”. This sensor is an on/off type sensor, providing
closed contacts when coolant is present.
11.1 Coolant Level Sensor Environmental Compatibility
The OEM should determine worst case fluid, mechanical, electrical, and electromagnetic field environments for
the coolant level sensor and verify the selected coolant level sensor will function properly and reliably under those
worst case conditions. Specifically, the OEM must verify that the sensor is compatible with “Extended Life Coolants”.
11.2 4-Pin Coolant Level Sensor Mounting Guidelines
To insure proper operation of the coolant level sensor, the following mounting guidelines should be followed:
A. For the liquid present signal, the sensor must be mounted in a position completely immersing the sensing tube
and mounting thread.
B. For the liquid absent signal, the sensor must be mounted in a position with no fluid contacting the entire
sensing tube and mounting thread.
C. The output signal is indeterminate when only a portion of the sensing tube is immersed in fluid.
D. The sensor should be mounted low enough in the tank to operate correctly under all slosh, tilt, and
roll conditions.
E. Preferred sensor mounting is horizontal.

11.3.3 4-Pin Coolant Level Sensor Response Time
Sensor outputs must change states in less than 2 seconds when subjected to an immersion/removal transition.
Cool Level Low must change states within ±1.0 millisecond of a Cool Level Normal state change.
11.3.4 4-Pin Coolant Level Sensor Diagnostic

If a low coolant level condition is detected during the first six hours of engine operation, the Amber Warning Lamp
will illuminate and an OEM clearable fault (111-14) will be active. This delay in logging of low coolant level events
will allow OEMs to purge air trapped in the engine’s cooling system during the assembly process. After the engine
has logged 6 hours of engine running time, the diagnostic faults and events for Low (111-17) and Very Low
Coolant Levels (111-01) will be logged into the ECM’s nonvolatile memory. Service technicians are required to
contact Caterpillar for permissions to clear Low (111-17) and Very Low (111-01) Coolant Level events from the
ECM’s memory.
Engine Not Running:
Coolant level faults, 111-17 for Low & 111-01 for Very Low will cause the Amber Warning Lamp to illuminate.
Active faults will be broadcast over the J1587 and the J1939 data links. The J1939 message will indicate that
the coolant level is at 50% for Low and 0% for Very Low.
Engine Running:
Coolant level faults Low (111-17) and Very Low (111-01) will cause the Amber Warning Lamp to illuminate.
Active faults will be broadcast over the J1587 and the J1939 data links. The J1939 message will indicate that
the coolant level is at 50% for Low and 0% for Very Low. These events will be logged while the engine is running.
Service technicians are required to contact Caterpillar for permissions to clear Low (111-17) and Very Low (111-01)
Coolant Level events from the ECM’s memory.
If the ECM Coolant Level Circuit indicates the sensor outputs are at the same voltage for at least two seconds,
a diagnostic code (111-02) is triggered.

2. Engine Monitoring Red Stop Lamp.
1. Coolant Level Sensor Customer Parameter programmed to 4-Pin.
11.5 2-Wire Float Sensor
The 2-Wire Float Sensor option allows the OEM to install a resistor ladder sensor to indicate coolant level.
This sensor is powered with a 5 volt supply internal to the ECM. The expected voltage for a Normal coolant
level is between 0.75 and 1.75 volts. The expected voltage for a Low coolant level is between 2.0 and 3.0 volts.
The expected voltage for a Very Low level is between 3.25 and 4.25 volts. Hysteresis voltage ranges are included
to allow for some slosh in the tank. Voltage levels changing from a defined range into a hysteresis zone will be
considered to be in the previous range until the voltage level changes to outside of the hysteresis zone.

11.5.1 2-Wire Float Sensor Diagnostics
If a low coolant level condition is detected during the first six hours of engine operation, an OEM clearable fault
(111-14) will be recorded. This delay in logging of low coolant level events will allow OEMs to purge air trapped in
the engine’s cooling system during the assembly process. After the engine has logged 6 hours of engine running
time, the diagnostic faults and events for Low (111-17) and Very Low Coolant Levels (111-01) will be logged into
the ECM’s nonvolatile memory. Service technicians are required to contact Caterpillar for permissions to clear
Low (111-17) and Very Low (111-01) Coolant Level events from the ECM’s memory.
Engine Not running:

If the 2-Wire Float Sensor voltage is in the Normal range or either of the hysteresis zones bordering Normal
Coolant Level range, the coolant level State will be Normal. A coolant level fault (111-17 for Low, 111-01 for
Very Low, 111-03 for Open & 111-04 for Shorted) will occur if the voltage is not between 0.5 and 2.0 volts for at
least 10 seconds. The Amber Warning Lamp will illuminate and an active fault will be broadcast over the J1587 and
the J1939 data links if there is a fault condition present. The J1939 message will indicate that the coolant level is at
50% for Low and 0% for Very Low.
Engine has been running for more than 4 seconds but less than 30 seconds:
(Allows for initialization of the Coolant level)
1) If the Coolant Level Sensor voltage is in the Normal range or either of the hysteresis zones bordering Normal
Coolant Level range, the coolant level State will be Normal.
2) If the Coolant Level Sensor voltage is in the Low range or in the hysteresis zone between Low and Very Low,
the Coolant Level State will be Low (111-17).
3) If the Coolant Level Sensor voltage is in Very Low range or the Hysteresis Zone between Very Low and Sensor
Open, the Coolant Level Sate will be Very Low (111-01).
4) A fault condition will cause the Amber Warning Lamp to illuminate and an active fault will be broadcast over the
J1587 and the J1939 data links. The J1939 message will indicate that the coolant level is at 50% for Low and
0% for Very Low. For Low and Very Low coolant levels, an Event will be logged in the ECM. The logged Event will
stay in the ECM nonvolatile memory and will be erased after 100 hours of engine operation if there are no other
occurrences. Fault Codes will also be logged in nonvolatile memory. Refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide to clear
logged Faults and Events.
Engine has been running for 30 seconds:
(Allows for coolant levels to stabilize)
1) If the Coolant Level state was Normal and the voltage level is in the Normal Coolant Level range or either of the
hysteresis zones bordering Normal Coolant Level range, the coolant level will be considered Normal.
2) If the Coolant Level State was Low and the voltage is in the Low Coolant Level range or either of the hysteresis
zones around the Low range, the Coolant Level will be considered Low (111-17).
3) If the Coolant Level State was Very Low and the voltage is in the Very Low Coolant Level range or either of the
hysteresis zones around the Very Low Coolant range the Coolant Level State will be Very Low (111-01).
4) A fault condition will cause the Amber Warning Lamp to illuminate and an active fault will be broadcast over the
J1587 and the J1939 data links. The J1939 message will indicate that the coolant level is at 50% for Low and
0% for Very Low. For Low and Very Low coolant levels, an Event will be logged in the ECM. The logged Event will
stay in the ECM nonvolatile memory and will be erased after 100 hours of engine operation if there are no other

12.0 Idle Shutdown

12.1 Overview
To conserve fuel, reduce emissions, and meet State and Federal Anti-Idling Laws, the engine control system can
be programmed to shut down the engine while idling. When conditions are correct, the engine will shut down, after
the engine has run at idle for the programmed period of time. This feature does not shut off vehicle electrical power.
An Engine Shutdown Output is available to shut down vehicle power when the Idle Shutdown Timer expires.
Conditions and operation of the Idle Shutdown feature vary based on the OEM Engine Order, Customer operational
area, vehicle Registration, and additional customer configurable parameters.
Vehicles registered in the state of California must meet state mandated anti idling regulations.
California Anti Idle regulation can be found in the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, 1956.8.
1. CARB (California Air Resource Board) – Vehicles equipped with MY ’08 engines, registered in the state
of California, that meet the California Code of Regulation, Title 13, 1956.8, section (A) (6) (A).
2. CARB Exempt – Vehicles equipped with MY ’08 engines, registered in the state of California, that are exempt
from the California Code of Regulation, Title 13, 1956.8, section (A) (6) (B).
3. EPA – Environmental Protection Agency – Vehicles not registered in California or any state that has not adopted
Title 13, 1956.8 of the California Code of Regulations.
4. CARB Clean Idle – Vehicles equipped with MY ’08 engines registered in the state of California that meet the
low Nox idle requirements set forth in the California Code of Regulation, Title 13, 1956.8, section (A) (6) (A).
Caterpillar is not responsible for vehicles traveling in California or any state that has adopted Title 13,
1956.8 of the California Code of Regulation, that is not properly programmed to shutdown the engine.
12.2 Engine Emission Certification Configuration

The Engine Emission Certification Configuration (EECC) is determined by the engine order placed by the
OEM to Caterpillar. The EECC determines what Idle Shutdown strategy can be used.
The Engine Emission Certification Configuration is made up of four settings:
1. CARB
2. CARB Exempt
3. EPA
4. CARB Clean Idle
*For further information on CARB Clean Idle refer to Chapter 14: Idle Functions
The Engine Emission Certification Configuration is set at the Caterpillar factory. This setting cannot be changed
without factory passwords.
Engine Emission Certification Configuration is not supported by VEPS.
12.3 Engine Idle Shutdown System
The Engine Idle Shutdown System (EISS) determines Idle Shutdown operation.
Options include:
1. None – Idle Shutdown is disabled.
2. CARB – Meets CARB Anti Idling requirements
3. Caterpillar – Caterpillar Idle Shutdown System
Engine Idle Shutdown System programming is dependent on the EECC programmed value.
Engine Idle Shutdown System can be programmed using VEPS. *VEPS information is located in Chapter 29:
Customer Specified Parameters.
*NOTE: The EECC programming is set from the Caterpillar factory based on the OEM engine order. EISS available
options are dependent upon correct programming of the EECC parameter. Failure to properly program the EISS will
result in VEPS failures.

13.0 OEM Installed Switch Inputs

The ECM has eighteen switch inputs. Three are switched to positive battery, and fifteen are switched to the ECM
sensor common.
13.1 Switch to Sensor Common Electrical Specifications
Applied voltage to switches by the ECM will normally not exceed 11.5 Volts DC. Contact plating should not corrode
or oxidize. Gold plated or silver alloy contacts are recommended. Normal current draw through the switches by the
controller will not exceed 6.5 mA.
Contact chatter and momentary opening or closing should not exceed 100 milliseconds in duration. The switches
should not open or close due to vibration or shock normally found in the application.
ECM internal pull-ups force the respective input to 11.5 Volts DC when a switch contact is opened or the harness
has an open circuit. Closure of an OEM installed switch must short circuit the input to a dedicated Sensor Common
connection of the ECM (J1/P1 terminal-3, terminal-5 or terminal-18).
13.1.1 Voltage Thresholds Measured at ECM:
Voltage-In-Low < 0.9 Volts DC – With any switch contacts closed, ground potential differences, switch voltage
drops, and wiring harness voltage drops must be such that a switch closure results in less than 0.9 Volts DC
between the respective control inputs and Sensor Common terminal.
Voltage-In-High > 4.0 Volts DC – With the switch contacts open, ground potential differences, switch voltage drops,
and wiring harness voltage drops must be such that a switch opening results in greater than 4.0 Volts DC between
the control input and Sensor Common terminal.
13.2 Sensor Common Connections
Three Sensor Common terminals are available to ground inputs connected to the ECM. If additional Sensor
Common connections are required, please contact Caterpillar.
OEM installed components used as inputs to the ECM must not be connected to the vehicle or cab ground,
and must not be case grounded. OEM installed switches must be grounded to an ECM Sensor Common via a
dedicated return line to the ECM.

AP Sensor/Switch Sensor Common Terminal 5
Input Sensor Common #1 Terminal 18
Input Sensor Common #2 Terminal 3
13.3 Preset Switch to Sensor Common Inputs

Five switch to Sensor Common inputs are preset from the factory to function as described in the table below.
Some OEMs may not use these factory defaults settings. Additional switch inputs are available and the parameters
listed below could be programmed to different ECM terminal locations. The ECM will not allow two parameters to
function on one ECM terminal.

13.5 Cruise Control On/Off Switch
The On/Off input enables the cruise control or extended idle function. When the On/Off switch input is toggled to the
ON position, circuit closed, the cruise control or extended idle function is enabled.
13.6 Set/Resume Switch
The Set/Resume switch is a three position switch biased to the Off position. Programmable Customer programming
is available to determine the Accelerate (Accel) or Decelerate (Decel) function of the Set and the Resume switch
inputs. The factory default is Set/Accel and Resume/Decel.
If the Set/Resume switch is toggled to the Set position the control will enter the current vehicle or engine speed into
memory for use in control of vehicle speed in the cruise control mode or engine speed in the idle mode. While in
cruise control, momentary toggling the Set/Resume switch to the Accel position will increase or “bump” vehicle
speed by 1 mph. While in “Extended Idle” mode, momentary toggling the Set/Resume switch, to the Accel position,
will increase or “bump” the engine RPM by the “Idle/PTO Idle Bump RPM” programmed value. Holding the Set/
Resume switch in the Accel position for more than one second will cause the vehicle speed to ramp up while in
cruise control mode. Holding the Set/Resume switch in the Accel position for more than one second will cause the
engine RPM to ramp up at the “Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate” programmed value. Note that the High Cruise Control
Speed Set Limit and Idle RPM Limit will not be exceeded using the switches as outlined above.
While in cruise control, momentarily toggling the Set/Resume switch to the Decel position will decrease vehicle
speed by 1 mph. While in “Extended Idle” mode, momentary toggling the Set/Resume switch to the Decel position
will decrease or “bump” the engine RPM by the “Idle/PTO Idle Bump RPM” programmed value. Holding the Set/
Resume switch in the Decel position for more than one second will cause the vehicle speed to ramp down while in
cruise control mode. Holding the Set/Resume switch in the Decel position for more than one second will cause the
engine RPM to ramp Down at the “Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate” programmed value.
If the Cruise Control On/Off Switch is in the ON position, but cruise control is not active (i.e., the brake or clutch has
been depressed to disengage a Cruise Control set speed), toggling the Set/Resume switch to the Resume position
the control will return the vehicle speed to the previous set point. If the Cruise Control On/Off Switch is in the ON
position, but Extended Idle is not active (i.e., the brake or clutch has been depressed to disengage an engine set
RPM), toggling the Set/Resume switch to the Resume position will return the Engine RPM to the previous set point.
The Cruise Control set speed must be set following power up of the control. Turning the Ignition Key Switch OFF
(connector P1, Terminal 70) loses the previously set Cruise Control speed, whereas turning the Cruise Control On/
Off switch OFF does not lose a previously set speed. If the operator has not set the Cruise Control Set speed since
the engine control power up, and he attempts to Resume to a speed that has not been previously set (cruise control
switch in the ON position), the engine control will use the vehicle speed at the time the Resume switch is pressed
as the Cruise Control Set speed.
If the High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit is programmed to a value greater than the Vehicle Speed Limit, the
Cruise Switches can be used to exceed the programmed Vehicle Speed Limit. If the set speed is then terminated
using the brake or clutch, the vehicle can be returned to the set speed by toggling the Resume switch.
NOTE: The Cruise Set and Cruise Resume switches must both be hardwired to the ECM or broadcast
over the J1939 data link via a J1939 device. Failure to properly program the cruise set and cruise resume
switches could limit the engine to low idle.
13.6.1 J1939 Cruise Control
Cruise Control Set and Resume switches can be programmed to receive information over the J1939 Data Link.
The Cruise Control Accelerate (SPN 602) and Cruise Control Coast Switch (SPN 600) must be broadcast at the
same repetition rate and from the same sources address as the Cruise Set and Cruise Resume Switches.
The Accel or Decel message should reflect the same state as the Set or Resume Switch.
The following table outlines operation of the J1939 Cruise Control operation.
0 = Off
1 = On
Cruise Control Switches Cruise Notes

1 0 1 0 1 On Cruise previously set,
vehicle speed will decel
The Cruise Accel or Decel can be sent with either the Cruise Set or Resume Switch message.
The Cruise/Idle/PTO Switch Configuration parameter is ignored during J1939 Cruise Control operation.
13.7 Cruise Control Pause Switch

The Cruise Control Pause switch is not a “switch to sensor common input” but a J1939 sourced switch message that
is used for kicking out of Cruise Control mode and functions much like the service brake switch(s). Cruise Control
will function normally when the switch is in the OFF position. When the Pause switch is in the ON position, Cruise
will be kicked out of speed control mode. If the Pause switch is in the ON position, Cruise Control will be prevented
from engaging. This switch input is independent from the Service Brake and Clutch switches. The Cruise Pause
switch is part of the J1939 PGN 65265 ($FEF1), Byte 1, bits 6 & 5.
13.8 Service Brake Pedal Position Switch #1 Function
The Service Brake Pedal Position Switch #1 is required for all applications. This switch must be a normally closed
circuit and be an open circuit when the service brake pedal is depressed. The control will deactivate either cruise
control, idle, or PTO (depending on PTO programming) when the Service Brake Pedal Position Switch is an open
circuit. A change in state (depressing a released pedal, or releasing a depressed pedal) of the Service Brake in the
last 90 seconds (30 seconds if programmed to 1 minute) while the Idle Shutdown Timer is counting also overrides
the Idle Shutdown Timer if the Customer Parameter “Allow Idle Shutdown Override” is programmed to Yes (default).
13.9 Clutch Pedal Position Switch Function
The Clutch Pedal Position Switch is required if a Manual Transmission is installed or if an automated transmission
that uses a clutch is installed. This switch must be an open circuit when the clutch pedal is depressed. The control
will deactivate either the cruise control or Cab PTO when the Clutch Pedal Position Switch is an open circuit.
Remote PTO is not affected by the Brake and Clutch Pedal Position Switches. Adjustment of the Clutch Pedal
Position Switch is critical to proper system performance. A change in state (depressing a released pedal, or
releasing a depressed pedal) of the Clutch in the last 90 seconds while the idle shutdown timer is counting also
overrides the Idle Shutdown Timer, if the ECM is programmed to allow Idle Shutdown Override.
13.10 Parking Brake Switch
The Parking Brake Switch is optional for all applications. A normally open switch is required. The circuit must
be closed (ON) when the Parking Brake is engaged (ON). The control will deactivate cruise control when the
Parking Brake Switch is a closed circuit. The parking brake has no effect on PTO operation.
13.11 Two Speed Axle On/Off Switch
A Two-Speed Axle On/Off switch input is available when a two-speed axle is used. A normally open switch is
required. When a two-speed axle is used, the change in gear ratios from the high speed range to the low speed
range alters the calibration of the vehicle speed signal. With this system, the ECM will automatically adjust the
vehicle speed calibration when the switch is ON. This will ensure an ECM driven speedometer and ECM stored
information correctly reflect the actual vehicle speed. The Low Speed Range Axle Ratio and High Speed Range
Axle Ratio parameters must be programmed. The Two Speed Axle parameter must be programmed to a J1/P1
switch to ground option or one of the three J1939 Data Link sources. When the switch is shorted to the ECM
AP Sensor/Switch Sensor Common (ON) the ECM will use the following equation to calculate the actual vehicle speed:
[(High Speed Axle Ratio/Low Speed Axle Ratio) * Calculated Vehicle Speed] = Actual Vehicle Speed
Where the calculated vehicle speed is the vehicle speed calculated using the programmed vehicle speed
calibration (pulse per mile). This adjusted vehicle speed will be used to determine idle and PTO kick out speeds
as programmed. The data link broadcast vehicle speed and the ECM speedometer output vehicle speed will reflect
the adjustment. If the Two Speed Axle parameter is programmed to None, the ECM does not use either axle ratio
to determine the actual speed.
NOTE: The Two Speed Axle parameter should be locked out to prevent tampering.
NOTE: The wiring diagram below shows the Two Speed Axle Switch connections. The Two Speed Axle switch
parameter can be configured to several different terminal locations on the ECM. Two Speed Axle parameter default
is None.

13.12 PTO Switches
Several switch options are available to control engine rpm either as an isochronous engine PTO (power take off)
governor. In order to operate in PTO Mode, a dedicated PTO ON/OFF switch is required. While in PTO Mode,
switch inputs such as the cruise control Set/Resume switch mounted in the cab or separate (remote) PTO switches
can be used to control engine rpm. Other optional switch inputs are available for controlling engine rpm and torque.
PTO Mode may be programmed to check the status of vehicle speed, clutch, service brake, and transmission
neutral switches as interlocks. These various inputs allow for OEMs, chassis builders, and body builders a variety
of options for controlling engine rpm.

Throttle & J1939 Speed Command.
2. Individual switch inputs.
13.13 Additional Switch to Sensor Common Inputs
Additional Switch to Sensor Common Inputs are provided for connection to a Fan Override Switch, Retarder Low/Hi
Switch, Retarder Med/High Switch, an Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral/Park Switch, Fast Idle Switch, A/C Pressure
Switch, PTO Engine Shutdown Switch, and the Starting Aid On/Off Switch.
13.14 Switch-to-Battery Electrical Specifications.

Contact plating should not corrode or oxidize. Gold plated or silver alloy contacts are recommended. Normal current
draw through the Input #12 and Input #13 by the control is 6.0 mA at 12 Volts DC. Normal current draw through the
Ignition Key Switch by the control is 1.2 mA at 12 Volts DC.
Contact chatter and momentary opening or closing should not exceed 100 milliseconds in duration. The switches
should not open or close due to vibration or shock normally found in the application.
Each of these ECM inputs is pulled to ground eliminating the need for external termination. Closure of an OEM
installed switch must short circuit the input to the vehicle positive battery.
Voltage thresholds measured at ECM:
Switch Open < 0.9 Volts DC – With the switch contacts open, ground potential differences, switch voltage drops,
and wiring harness voltage drops, the ECM must detect less than 0.9 Volts DC between the control input and the
ECM negative battery connection.
Switch Closed > 9.0 Volts DC – With the switch contacts closed, ground potential differences, switch voltage
drops, and wiring harness voltage drops, the ECM must detect a switch closure resulting in greater than 9.0 Volts
DC between the control input and the ECM negative battery connection.
13.14.1 Switch-to-Battery Circuit Protection
Circuit protection for these inputs should be 12 Amperes maximum and designed to protect up to 14 Gauge wires.
13.15 Ignition Key Switch to Positive Battery
The Ignition Key Switch input is factory preset. When the ECM detects the input is switched to vehicle battery
(Ignition Key Switch ON), the ECM will be powered. The ECM will then control the injectors allowing the engine
to start. The ECM remains powered if Vehicle Speed > 0, regardless of the state of the Ignition key switch Input.

Ignition Key Switch Terminal 70

1. Switch to close when the ignition is ON.
13.16 Service Brake Pedal Position Switch #2
The ECM terminal J1/P1: 64 (Input #13) is used as the Service Brake Switch #2 input.
This switch is normally Open and must be a short circuit to + Battery when the service brake pedal is depressed.
This switch is used as a redundant switch for the Service Brake and is in addition to the Service Brake Switch #1
connected to J1/P1: 45 (or another switch to ground input or J1939 Body Controller, J1939 Cab Controller, or J1939
Instrument Cluster). Both switches must change state at the same time to prevent diagnostic codes. When the
switch closes to + Battery, features that are sensitive to the Service Brake Switch status will react. For instance,
cruise control, Cab Switches PTO Configuration, or Extended Idle will deactivate when the Service Brake Pedal
Position Switch #2 is a short circuit.
There is no J1939 support for this switch.

13.17 Transmission Neutral Switch
This switch is used to indicate when the transmission is in neutral. This switch function can be a hardwired switch
to J1/P1: 62 (Input #12) or a J1939 Message from the transmission. The Transmission Neutral Switch parameter is
used when the Transmission Neutral Switch parameter is programmed.
The ECM will ignore the status of the Transmission Neutral Switch if the parameter is programmed to None (default).

For instance Cab Switches PTO Configuration, Battery Voltage induced elevated engine idle speeds or Extended
Idle will deactivate when the Transmission Neutral Switch indicates that the transmission is in gear.
13.17.1 Transmission Neutral Switch Status via J1939 Data Link
The ECM has the ability to receive Neutral Switch status information from a Transmission ECU capable of
broadcasting the status via the J1939 data link. The J1939 option can be used to replace the hardwired switch input
to the ECM. This option can only be used if the Transmission is capable of supporting the required J1939 message
protocol. The OEM is responsible for making this determination.
The Transmission must support the J1939 ETC2. Both Byte 1 – Selected Gear AND Byte 4 – Current Range
must be set to Zero when the transmission is in Neutral for this message to be compatible. If the message is not
received, the ECM will assume the transmission to be in gear.

14.0 Idle Functions

14.1 Smart Idle
The “Battery Monitor and Engine Control Voltage” parameter is used to determine when the Battery Monitor and
Engine Speed Control System will automatically elevate engine idle in order to maintain ideal battery system
voltage. This feature is used to promote additional battery life. The engine idle will only be increased if the vehicle is
stopped, the transmission is out of gear and neither the clutch nor the brake pedal are depressed. If these conditions
are not met, the engine idle will not be adjusted. This feature will not function when the engine is operating in
dedicated PTO mode (PTO On/Off switch in the ON position). The recommended setting is 12.2 Volts for a 12 Volt
system, and 24.5 Volts for a 24 Volt system. The engine will stay at this idle speed for 5 minutes (unless interrupted).
At the end of 5 minutes if the battery voltage is still below the programmed trip point the engine will maintain the
elevated idle speed until battery voltage exceeds the programmed trip point.
NOTE: This feature requires the installation of a Neutral Switch (J1/P1: 62 or the SAE J1939 based input message)
if the Transmission Style parameter is programmed Automatic.
14.2 Extended Idle
Cruise Control switch inputs can be used to control the engine idle speed in Extended Idle mode when the
PTO ON/OFF Switch is Off, and the vehicle speed is below the programmable Idle Vehicle Speed Limit.
With the Cruise Control On/Off switch in the ON position, the engine will respond to the hardwired Set/Resume
switch inputs according to the customer programmable Idle Parameters and the Cruise/Idle/PTO/Switch parameter.
The ECM will respond to individual J1939 based switch messages for Set, Resume, Accelerate and Decelerate.
Pressing the Set Switch will establish the current engine RPM as the “Set” RPM. The engine will maintain this RPM
unless overridden by the throttle or a “kickout” occurs caused by turning the Cruise Control switch to Off, pressing
the brake, clutch or shifting out of neutral. Once the “Set” RPM is established, the engine RPM can be adjusted by
the Cruise Control switch inputs for Accelerate and Decelerate.
If Extended Idle has been “kicked out”, the Resume Switch can be used to return the engine to the pre-established
RPM. If no engine RPM has been established, Toggling the Resume Switch will establish the current engine RPM
as the “Set” RPM.
With a “Set” RPM established and the Accel switch is pressed and released (less than one second), the engine
RPM will increase by the programmed Bump RPM (5 to 1,000 RPM) at the programmed Idle/PTO Engine Speed
Ramp Rate (5 to 1,000 RPM/Sec). If the Accel Switch is pressed and held (more than 1 second), the engine will
increase (Ramp) in speed at the programmed Ramp RPM rate until the switch is released or the engine RPM
reaches Top Engine Limit. Releasing the Set Switch during a ramp will cause the engine to remain at that RPM.
Raising the engine RPM with the cab throttle and pressing and releasing the Set Switch will establish a new
“Set” RPM after releasing the throttle.
With a “Set” RPM established and the Decel switch is pressed and released (less than one second), the engine
RPM will decrease by the programmed Bump RPM (5 to 1,000 RPM) at the programmed Idle/PTO Engine Speed
Ramp Rate (5 to 1,000 RPM/Sec). If the Decel Switch is pressed and held (more than 1 second), the engine will
decrease (Ramp) in speed at the programmed Ramp RPM rate until the switch is released or the engine RPM
reaches Low Idle. Releasing the Decel Switch during a ramp will cause the engine to remain at that RPM.
Extended Idle will kick out if the Idle Vehicle Speed Limit is exceeded, the J1939 based Cruise Pause Switch
is closed, the service brake is operated, the clutch pedal is applied, the parking brake switch is closed, or the
transmission is shifted out of Neutral.
If the Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral/Park Switch feature is used, it can prevent the service brake, clutch or neutral
switch inputs from causing Extended Idle to kick out.
For the following table, a “LOW” means the input can return the engine to low idle from a set speed, an “Adjust”
means the input can adjust engine rpm, and “Program” means the input function is programmable to a limit.

14.3 CARB Clean Idle
The Engine Emission Certification Configuration can be programmed to CARB Clean Idle. When set, the engine
will run at an elevated speed that is dependent on engine operating conditions. The CARB Clean Idle Option allows
Caterpillar engines to meet the 30 g/hr limit set by the California Code of Regulation 1956.8.
CARB Clean Idle programming is set from the Caterpillar factory based on the engine order received from the
OEM. This feature requires factory passwords from Caterpillar.
This feature has no effect on the Engine Shutdown System or Idle Shutdown Timer. There are no idle limitations
when set to CARB Clean Idle. Dedicated PTO Mode overrides CARB Clean Idle operation.
The engine speed may be elevated during stationary, idle conditions. The engine ECM looks at the following
switches to reduce engine speed to the programmed Low Idle Speed.
For further details regarding Idle Shutdown Timer please refer to Chapter 12: Idle Shutdown.

15.0 J1939 Based Switch Messages

The Power Train Data Link parameter must be programmed to J1939 before the ECM will respond to messages
received from the J1939 network. Individual switch input parameters must be programmed to receive messages
from either the Cab Controller (source address 49, $31), the Body Controller (source address 33, $21) the
Instrument Cluster (source address 23, $17), or the Cab Display (40, $28).
Additional source addresses may be available for OEM specific requirements. Refer to 26.0 “SAE J1939 Broadcast
Messages” for additional information.
15.1 J1939 Cruise Switch Inputs
The J1939 based Cruise switches will function the same as hardwired switches for Cruise control, Extended Idle
and PTO “Cab Switches” mode.
15.1.1 Cruise Control On/Off Switch
Cruise Switch (PGN 65265 ($FEF1) Byte 4, Bits 4,3 is set to 01)
The Cruise switch enables cruise control and Extended Idle. The switch must be in the On position to activate
cruise control or Extended Idle.
15.1.2 Cruise Control Set Switch
Set Switch (PGN 65265 ($FEF1) Byte 5, Bits 2,1 set to 01)
If the Cruise On/Off switch is On and all other conditions are met (Veh spd, Clutch, Brake, Neutral, Cruise Pause)
an On/Off transition of the Set switch will activate cruise and set the cruise/idle target speed to the actual vehicle/
engine speed. If the vehicle/idle speed does not change, any other On/Off, Off/On or hold transition of the
Set switch will be ignored. The Set switch or the Resume must be used to enable the Accel or Decel switch.
15.1.3 Cruise Control Resume Switch
Resume switch (PGN 65265 ($FEF1) Byte 5, Bits 6,5 set to 01)
If the Cruise On/Off switch is active and all other conditions are met (Veh spd, Clutch, Brake, Neutral, Cruise Pause)
an On/Off transition of the Resume switch will activate cruise/idle. If, since the last ECM power up, cruise control
was never active and the Resume switch toggles On and Off, the cruise target speed will be set to the actual
veh spd. If Cruise/idle was active before, the Target Speed will be set to the last Set Speed. After the Target Speed
is set, additional switch transitions or hold of the Resume switch will be ignored.
15.1.4 Cruise Control Accel Switch
Accel switch (PGN 65265 ($FEF1) Byte 5, Bits 8,7 set to 01)
If cruise/idle is active (Cruise on, Set or Resume On/Off transition, all other conditions are met – Veh spd, Clutch,
Brake, Neutral, Cruise Pause), an Off/On transition of the Accel switch, which lasts longer (ON) than 1.26 seconds
(Hold), will cause the cruise target speed to ramp UP, by a fixed ramp rate. When the Accel switch is released (On/Off)
the cruise target speed will be set to the current veh spd. If the holding time after the Off/On transition is shorter
than 1.26 seconds (Bump), then the cruise target speed will be INCREASED by 1.6 km/h (1 mph). During Extended
Idle, the Bump and Ramp rates are dependent on the programming for Bump and Ramp.
NOTE: The Accel switch is not dependent on the Cruise/Idle/PTO switch configuration parameter.
15.1.5 Cruise Control Decel Switch

Decel switch (PGN 65265 ($FEF1) Byte 5, bits 4,3 set to 01)
With Cruise/idle active (Cruise on, Set or Resume On/Off transition, all other conditions are met – Veh spd, Clutch,
Brake, Neutral, Cruise Pause), an Off/On transition of the Decel switch, which is longer than 1.26 seconds (Ramp)
will cause the cruise target speed to ramp DOWN, by a fixed ramp rate. When the Decel switch is released (On/Off)
the cruise target speed will be set to the current veh spd. If the holding time after the Off/On transition is shorter
than 1 second (Bump), then the cruise target speed will be DECREASED by 1.6 km/h (1 mph). During Extended
Idle, the Bump and Ramp rates are dependent on the programming for Bump and Ramp.
NOTE: The Decel switch is not dependent on the Cruise/Idle/PTO switch configuration parameter.
Priority:
Set has a higher priority than Resume if both switch inputs are received at the same time.
Accel has a higher priority than Decel if both switch inputs are received at the same time.
For applications using J1939 Cruise Control, SPNs 596, 599, 600, 601, and 602 are all required.
15.1.6 Cruise Pause Switch
PGN (65265 ($FEF1) Byte 1 Bits 6,5 set to 01) (J1939 input only)
Turning the Cruise Pause switch On will cause cruise control or Extended Idle to kickout if active or will prevent
either from being engaged. The switch is independent from the Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral switch status and does
not effect any timer functionality (Idle Shutdown and PTO Shutdown). When the ECM is programmed to PTO Cab
Switches, this switch will act like the service brake, clutch or neutral switches to cause the PTO Mode to kickout.
If in the ON position, this switch will prevent the engine from entering into PTO mode.
15.1.7 Service Brake Switch
(PGN 65265 ($FEF1) Byte 4 Bits 6,5)
The Service Brake Switch input will cause the ECM to respond the same as to hardwired switch inputs.
This includes all functions that respond to the Service Brake Switch #1 input (Cruise Control, Extended Idle,
PTO, engine retarder, etc.).
15.1.8 Clutch Switch
The Clutch switch input will respond to an OFF to ON transition and the ECM will respond the same as to hardwired
switch inputs. This includes all functions that respond to the Clutch Switch input (Cruise Control, Extended Idle,
PTO, engine retarder, etc.).
15.1.9 Parking Brake Switch
The Parking Brake Switch input will respond the same as the hardwired switch option. Parking Brake Switch closed
(ON) the cruise control, elevated idle, pto operation, etc will be affected.
15.1.10 Fan Override Switch
(PGN 57344 ($E000) Byte 1 Bits 8-1)
The ECM will turn the Cooling Fan Output, J1/P1: 21 Off (Fan On) when the received message => 95.2% <= 100%.
15.1.11 Retarder Off/Low/Med/High Switch

(PGN 61441 ($F001) Byte 5 Bits 8-1)
When the Retarder Off/Low/Med/High Switch parameter is programmed to J1939 Cab Controller, J1939 Body
Controller or J1939 Instrument Cluster, the ECM will respond in the following manner:
Byte Value Retarder Level

0 – 24.8% OFF
25.2% – 50% LOW
50.4% – 75% MEDIUM
75.2% – 100% HIGH
15.1.12 Engine Diagnostic Switch

Not Supported.
15.1.13 PTO Enable Switch
PTO mode will be enabled (depending on programmed limits) while this message is active.
15.1.14 Remote PTO Set Switch
This switch message can function as the Remote PTO Set switch for Remote Switches, Remote Throttle, or
Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command PTO configurations. A Set Switch Message with less than one-second
duration will cause the engine speed to “Bump Up” according to the programmed Idle/PTO Bump Rate parameter.
Messages lasting more than one second will cause the engine to accelerate according to the programmed Idle/
PTO RPM Ramp Rate parameter.
15.1.15 Remote PTO Resume Switch
This switch message can function as the Remote PTO Resume switch for Remote Switches, Remote Throttle,
or Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command PTO configurations. A Resume Switch Message with less than
one-second duration will cause the engine speed to “Bump Down” according to the programmed Idle/PTO Bump
Rate parameter. Messages lasting more than one second will cause the engine to decelerate according to the
programmed Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate parameter.
15.1.16 PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A
This switch message can direct the engine to the programmed PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A. The switch
message must stay On to remain at this RPM.
15.1.17 Transmission Neutral Switch
The ECM has the ability to receive Neutral Switch status information from a Transmission ECU capable of
broadcasting the status via the J1939 Data Link. The J1939 option can be used to replace the hardwired switch
input to the ECM. This option can only be used if the Transmission is capable of supporting the required J1939
message protocol. The OEM is responsible for making this determination.
The Transmission must support the J1939 ETC2. Both Byte 1 – Selected Gear AND Byte 7 – Current Range
must be set to Zero when the transmission is in Neutral for this message to be compatible. If the message is not
received, the ECM will assume the transmission to be in gear.
15.1.18 Aftertreatment Regeneration Inhibit Switch

(PGN 57344 ($E000) Byte 6 Bits 2,1)
This switch message disables a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) from occurring. The ECM must
see this message continuously. This message will prevent a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) from
occurring, or disable the regeneration if active
15.1.19 Aftertreatment Regeneration Force Switch
(PGN 57344 ($E000) Byte 6 Bits 4,3)
This switch message forces a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter(s) to occur. The ECM will look for an off/on/
off switch transition. The ECM must see this switch held in the on position for a minimum of two seconds. Once the
switch completes this cycle the ECM will start a regeneration of the diesel particulate filter(s). This message must
be broadcast continuously.
15.1.20 A/C Pressure Switch
(PGN 65252 ($FEE4) Byte 3 Bits 2,1)
This switch determines if fan operation is requested due to excessive pressure in the A/C system.
16.0 Dedicated PTO Operation

Engine PTO operation requires some or all of the following OEM installed switches: PTO ON/OFF, PTO Set/
Resume, PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A and/or B, Cruise Control Set/Resume, Service Brake Pedal Position #1,
Service Brake Pedal Position #2, Transmission Neutral, Parking Brake, and Clutch Pedal Position.
PTO operation, depending on the application, can use many switch inputs, lamp outputs, or outputs from the
ECM to drive solenoids. These inputs/outputs are programmable across several ECM terminals to provide greater
flexibility to the OEM and the Body Builder when designing a particular chassis. The wiring diagrams located
throughout this chapter outline typical or commonly used ECM terminals and circuit configurations. Individual OEMs
or Body Builders may use different ECM terminals or circuits for a particular application depending on their needs.
There are five programmable PTO Configurations available:
1. Off
2. Cab Switches
3. Remote Switches
4. Remote Throttle
5. Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Control
PTO may be configured to allow for operation from the cab using cruise control switches and foot throttle. PTO may
be configured to operate away from the cab at a remote location using a throttle, switches or both. Programmable
limits are available for engine speed, vehicle speed and cab throttle input. Other programmable features include
engine rpm ramp rates and multiple elevated speeds. All of these configurations allow the OEM/Body Builder to
configure switch inputs and features to meet PTO application needs including:
Bulk Hauler, Fire Truck, Cement Mixer, Refuse Packer, Crane, Bucket Truck, etc.
Caterpillar requires all switches, and all components used in these circuits to meet the specifications as outlined
in this document. Caterpillar recommends the OEM provide a customer access connector in an easily accessible
location to aid in installation of these features.
16.1 Advantages of PTO Configurations
1) Reduces or eliminates the amount of alterations to the cab wiring.
2) Unnecessary to ground accelerator pedal position sensor to disable cab accelerator pedal.
3) Provides an optional torque limit for temporary protection of equipment.
4) Provides an optional PTO Top Engine Limit to allow maximum use of engine speed to protect speed sensitive
equipment.
5) Provides optional PTO set speeds for those applications where preset speeds above low idle are required.
6) Whenever the PTO On/Off circuit is ON the Engine Brake is disabled.
7) Disabling of the Idle Shutdown Timer when the PTO On/Off circuit is ON.
8) Cooling fan can be programmed to turn On and remain On while the PTO On/Off switch is ON.
16.2 PTO Inputs
PTO can be programmed to accept input from the Cruise Control switches, PTO Remote Set and Resume switches,
Remote Throttle, J1939 TSC 1 speed commands, and up to two set speed switches. Adding these inputs will allow
the aftermarket body-builder to add necessary components without altering the cab cruise control switch wiring.
16.3 Input Electrical Specifications
Electrical specifications for Switch Inputs are located in Chapter 13. Electrical specifications for the remote
accelerator pedal position sensor are located in Chapter 7.
16.4 Sensor Common for PTO Applications

ECM Vehicle Harness Connector J1/P1 terminal-3 (Input Sensor Common #2) is designated as the Sensor
Common connection for PTO additions. Caterpillar requires this connection be reserved for components connected
to the engine to control engine speed for PTO applications only. It should only be used when PTO wiring is or
will be required on the vehicle. The PTO Components can also use J1/P1 terminal-5 (AP Sensor/Switch Sensor
Common) or terminal-18 (Input Sensor Common #1) as a common connection if required. Devices not interfacing
to the ECM for use with the Inputs must not be connected to Input Sensor Commons.
All switches connected to the Input Sensor Commons must also meet the specifications indicated in Chapter 4
of this document.
16.5 PTO Parameter and Switch Function
This section describes the functions, inputs and programmable limits for PTO.
16.5.1 PTO On/Off Switch
This switch enables PTO features and functions.
16.5.2 PTO Set Speed
This is not a parameter but the speed to which the engine will be controlled until changed by an operator input.
The PTO Set Speed value may be viewed using the Electronic Technician service tool.
16.5.3 Cruise Control Set/Resume Switch
When PTO Configuration is programmed to Cab Switches, these switches can be used to control engine speed.
These switches can raise and lower engine speed according to the “Cruise/Idle/PTO Switch Configuration”
parameter setting. Toggling the Set Switch will establish the current engine rpm as the “PTO Set Speed”.
Once the PTO Set Speed has been established, pressing and holding the “Set” switch will cause the engine
to accelerate, if programmed to “Set/Accel”, at the programmed Idle/PTO Ramp Rate.
Once the PTO Set Speed has been established, toggling the “Set” switch will bump the engine rpm UP,
if programmed to “Set/Accel”, at the programmed Idle/PTO Bump RPM.
Once the PTO Set Speed has been reached, pressing and holding the “Resume” switch will cause the engine
to decelerate, if programmed to “Resume/Decel”, at the programmed Idle/PTO Ramp Rate.
Once the PTO Set Speed has been established, toggling the “Resume” switch will bump the engine rpm DOWN,
if programmed to “Resume/Decel”, at the programmed Idle/PTO Bump RPM.
If the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed parameter is programmed, toggling the “Set” switch will cause the engine to
ramp up from the current engine rpm to the programmed PTO Engine RPM Set Speed setting. If this switch is toggled
while the engine is at the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed rpm, the engine will ramp to the PTO top engine limit.
If the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed parameter is programmed, toggling the “Resume” switch will cause the engine
to ramp Down from the current engine rpm to the programmed PTO Engine RPM Set Speed setting or Low Idle if
the engine is at the PTO To Set Speed rpm.
These switches disregard the “Cruise/Idle/PTO Switch Configuration” parameter if the “PTO Engine Set Speed” and
the “PTO To Set Speed” parameters have been programmed.
16.5.4 PTO Switch On Lamp
The ECM can be used to connect a PTO Switch On Lamp. The PTO Switch On Lamp can be configured to either
High Side (2 Amp) or Low Side (Sensor Common) terminals on the ECM. See the table below for a list of valid
ECM terminals. If the output is unavailable, a double pole/double throw PTO On/Off Switch can be used to connect
a PTO Switch ON Lamp between +Battery and Ground. If a Remote PTO configuration is used, a lamp should
be installed in the cab and at the remote operations station. If the engine is outside the programmed parameters
for PTO Mode when the PTO On/Off switch is turned ON, the PTO on Lamp will flash until the engine is within
programmed parameters. The Lamp will stay on steady until PTO mode is terminated.
NOTE: It is the OEM/Body Builders responsibility to properly wire and/or fuse the circuit. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the chassis or one of its components.

16.5.8 PTO Top Engine Limit

This parameter may be used to limit the maximum engine RPM while in PTO mode.
16.5.9 PTO Engine RPM Set Speed
This parameter is for selecting a specific engine rpm for use while in PTO mode. Depending on programming, the
engine will go to this rpm when PTO is enabled or by toggling a Cruise Control or Remote PTO “Set” switch after
PTO is enabled. This rpm setting may be overridden by throttle or Set Speed A and B switch inputs; according to
programmed limits.
16.5.10 PTO to Set Speed
Programming this parameter to “Yes” causes the engine to go to the PTO Engine Set Speed rpm when the
PTO switch is turned On. Programming this parameter to No will cause the engine to remain at the Low Idle rpm
until another input, switch or throttle, is actuated.
16.5.11 PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A
This parameter setting may be programmed for a specific engine speed while in PTO mode. This rpm setting is
enabled with the “PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A” switch closure. This speed will override hardwired cab
throttle, hardwired remote throttle, set speed B, and set/resume settings. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A can only
be overridden by J1939 TSC 1 speed commands.
This parameter is used to enable the switch input to activate PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A. Choices include
hardwired switches and J1939 data link based switch messages.
The PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A Switch can be configured to one of several available hardwired ECM terminals
and J1939 data link based switch messages.

16.5.13 PTO Engine RPM Set Speed B

This parameter setting may be programmed for a specific engine speed while in PTO mode. This rpm setting is
enabled with the “PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input B” switch closure. This speed will override throttle and set/
resume settings. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A or J1939 TSC 1 speed commands can override PTO Engine RPM
Set Speed B.
16.5.14 PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input B

This parameter is used to enable the switch input to activate PTO Engine RPM Set Speed B.
The PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input B can be configured to one of several available hardwired ECM terminals.

PTO Engine RPM Set Speed None J1/P1:
Input B 6, 7, 22, 23, 35, 40, 44, 45, 46,
47, 56, 58, 59, 60
16.5.15 Maximum PTO Enable Speed

The engine rpm setting may be programmed to the maximum engine rpm speed for PTO to be enabled. PTO will
not engage if the engine is above this setting. This protects equipment that requires low rpm engagement. PTO will
not be active until the engine drops below this limit.
16.5.16 PTO Cab Controls RPM Limit
This parameter may be programmed to limit the maximum engine rpm controlled by the cab throttle and cruise
switches during PTO. This parameter does not control hardwired remote throttle or speed commands received
over the J1939 data link TSC 1 message.
16.5.17 PTO Kickout Vehicle Speed Limit
This parameter may be programmed to set a vehicle speed limit that PTO functions and controls will operate.
Exceeding this vehicle speed limit will cause PTO to “kick out” which will return the engine to Low Idle, return
engine speed control to the cab throttle and cause the PTO active output to turn Off.
16.5.18 Torque Limit
This parameter may be programmed to limit the engine’s maximum torque output. This feature is not available until
the PTO Configuration has been programmed to other than ‘Off’. The Torque Limit Switch input parameter must be
programmed and a switch installed to enable this function. Torque Limit may be used without PTO being active.
16.5.19 Torque Limit Switch
The Torque Limit Switch Input may not be programmed until the PTO Configuration has been programmed to other
than off. Once the PTO Configuration has been programmed to other than off, the ECM will respond to the Torque
Limit Switch if the PTO switch is On or Off. The ECM will ignore the Torque Limit Switch if PTO Configuration is
programmed to Off.
The Torque Limit Switch can be configured to one of several available hardwired ECM terminals.

PTO Torque Limit Switch None J1/P1:
6, 7, 22, 23, 35, 40, 44, 45, 46,
47, 56, 58,59,60
16.5.20 PTO Shutdown Time

This parameter setting is used to set the amount of time, in minutes, the engine will run while in PTO mode.
The engine will shut down when this timer counts down to zero. The timer will only count with no vehicle speed
and the PTO On/Off circuit ON. This parameter is disabled if programmed to 0 (default).
NOTE: This feature does not shut down vehicle power. The ECM and vehicle remain powered.
16.5.21 PTO Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM
When the engine drops below this rpm the PTO Shutdown Timer will begin to count. This timer will be reset to
“zero” if the engine rpm is raised above this setting.
16.5.22 PTO Low Idle Percent Load Threshold

This parameter is used to determine when the PTO Idle Shutdown Timer will function based on engine load factor.
When engine load is greater than the programmed threshold value the PTO Idle Shutdown Timer is
temporarily disabled.
The PTO Idle Shutdown Timer will resume operation once the engine load is below the programmed value.

16.5.23 PTO Activates Cooling Fan
Programming this parameter to “Continuous” turns the engine controlled fan “On” while in PTO mode. The fan will
remain “On” while the engine is in PTO mode. The fan will resume normal operation if PTO is disabled. This feature
will not function unless the fan is controlled by the engine ECM.
16.5.24 Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral/Park Switch
The Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral/Park switch input is used to prevent the brake and clutch from causing PTO
to kick out. This switch input is for the PTO Cab Switches configuration. Remote Switches and Remote Throttle
configurations do not respond to the brake and clutch switches. This switch can also be used to prevent the brake
and/or clutch switches from causing Extended Idle to kick out.
The Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral/Park Switch can be configured to one of several available hardwired
ECM terminals. *NOTE: Not Allowed by Eaton on DM Ultrashift.

16.5.25 PTO Active Output

The PTO Active Output parameter is available for controlling an output when the engine is in PTO Mode.
This output will turn “On” when the PTO Switch is turned “On”, and all conditions are met for PTO operation.
This output will turn OFF when the engine has “kicked out” of PTO mode or the PTO ON/OFF switch has been
turned OFF. The PTO Active Output is available as a High Side (2 Amp) or Low Side (Sensor Common) driver.
The table below outlines what ECM terminals are available.

16.6 PTO Interlocks
The switches labeled as PTO Interlock in the wiring diagrams are redundant switches that can be added to insure
the engine is put in PTO mode only when the vehicle is ready and prepared for PTO operation. These switches may
include a parking brake switch, transmission neutral switch or other interlocks that are required for the application.
16.7 PTO Customer Access Connector
Caterpillar recommends the OEM provide a customer access connector for those chassis’ frequently used
in vocational applications. This connector should provide wiring from the ECM to a connector easily located
and identified on the vehicle. Caterpillar recommends the circuits listed in the following table be provided at
this connector.
The table below shows all ECM switch inputs and ECM outputs that can be used. ECM Terminal assignments are

These diagrams provide cab accelerator pedal limiting before the rpm ramps up, and allows one speed above idle
to be controlled from the Cruise Set/Resume switches. If the PTO to Set Speed parameter is programmed to NO,
the ECM will not go to the programmed PTO Engine rpm Set Speed until the Set (rpm increase) switch is toggled.
When the PTO Top Engine Limit is set to the same value as the PTO Engine rpm Set Speed, the engine will not
exceed this rpm. Toggling the Set/Resume Switch in the Decel direction will cause the engine to ramp down from
PTO Top Engine Limit to Low Idle. The Throttle can be used to control engine rpm if the engine is at Low Idle.
The Cruise Set/Resume, Service Brake, and Clutch circuits are included because they will interrupt a set rpm using
the Cab Switches configuration. The cab accelerator pedal position sensor can be limited to low idle, PTO Top
Engine Limit, or Top Engine Limit using the PTO Cab Throttle RPM Limit parameter.
NOTE: If the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed is programmed to 0 rpm, the Set/Resume switch can be used to bump
(increment) engine speed up and down by the Idle/PTO Bump RPM parameter. Engine speed may be ramped as
well according to the programmed value of the Idle/PTO Ramp Rate parameter.

intended for applications requiring mobile use of the vehicle with a set engine rpm that does NOT require the Brake
or Clutch to disengage the engine rpm set speed. This is useful for applications such as a cement truck pouring
curbs/roads, or a fire truck pumping water where vehicle speed is adjusted using the clutch or brakes but engine
speed remains constant for proper pump operation. The programmable parameter Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral/Park
Switch must be programmed to an ECM switch to ground input to enable this feature (Default is None).

16.9.1 PTO Configuration – Cab Switches Programmable Options
The following list includes all of the programmable options available for the PTO Configuration Cab Switches:
1. Cruise/Idle/PTO Switch Configuration – determines the function of the Set and Resume inputs when held in
position or toggled. The two options are Set-Accel, Resume – Decel or Set -Decel, Resume-Accel. This applies
to cruise control, idle, and PTO modes of operation.
NOTE: If the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed is programmed, the Set switch is always a RPM increase switch
and Resume is always a RPM decrease switch for PTO.
2. Cruise Control Pause Switch Configuration – If programmed to J1939 Body Controller, Instrument Cluster
or Cab Controller, this switch will act like the service brake or clutch switches for causing the PTO Mode to
kick out. If in the ON position, this switch will prevent the engine from entering into PTO mode. There is no
programmable parameter for ignoring this switch.
3. PTO Kickout Vehicle Speed Limit – determines the vehicle speed operating range of the PTO inputs. If vehicle
speed exceeds this limit the engine will either not allow a PTO engine speed to be set, or disengage a set
PTO speed.
4. Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate – determines the rate of engine speed acceleration/deceleration for the Resume,
Accel, and Decel operation.
5. Idle/PTO Bump RPM – determines the amount of rpm increase/decrease when the cruise Set/Resume switch
is toggled in the Accel/Decel position. If a PTO Engine RPM Set Speed has been programmed this parameter
does not apply.
6. PTO Top Engine Limit – Top RPM Limit of the engine while in PTO mode.
7. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed – program this parameter only if one or two specific engine speed points above
low idle are desired. The parameter is bound by programmed low idle and PTO Top Engine Limit.
8. PTO to Set Speed – program this parameter to YES only if the application requires the engine speed to ramp
up to the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed whenever the PTO On/Off circuit is turned ON.
9. PTO Cab Throttle RPM Limit – program this parameter if the operation requires limiting engine speed to
protect equipment. If programmed to Low Idle, this parameter has the affect of ignoring/disabling the accelerator
pedal position sensor when the PTO On/Off circuit is ON.
10. Torque Limit – program this parameter if a lower than rated torque limit is desired in order to temporarily
protect equipment. The torque limit will apply whenever the Torque Limit switch is ON.
11. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A – This parameter can be programmed to a desired set speed that can be
attained by turning on a dedicated switch during PTO operation.
12. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A – Use this parameter to select the Set Speed A switch input terminal.
13. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed B – This parameter can be programmed to a desired set speed that can be
14. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input B – Use this parameter to select the Set Speed B switch input terminal.
15. PTO Shutdown Time – This parameter is programmable between 3 to 1,440 minutes (a value of 0 turns off
this feature). This parameter sets the duration of time (in minutes) that engine will operate, with the PTO On/Off
circuit ON and no vehicle speed present, before shutting down.
16. PTO Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM – This parameter can be used to reset of the PTO Shutdown Timer if
engine speed goes above the programmed PTO Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM. Programming this parameter
to 2,120 rpm disables this feature.
17. PTO Low Idle Percent Threshold – This parameter enables/disables the PTO Shutdown Timer based on
percent engine load during PTO operation.
18. PTO Activates Cooling Fan – This parameter determines if the engine cooling fan is on normally or
Continuous while in PTO Mode. The Fan Control Type parameter must be programmed to other than None.
One of the available switch input options and an additional switch installed for this feature to function.
19. Ignore Brake/Clutch/Neutral/Park Switch – This switch input allows PTO to disregard the status of the
Service brake and Clutch switch settings.
20. Torque Limit Switch – Program this switch input to enable the programmed Torque Limit.
21. PTO Active Output – This output will turn “ON” when PTO is enabled and will remain active until PTO is turned
Off or Kicked Out.
22. Maximum PTO Enable Speed – Maximum engine speed that PTO mode will engage. PTO mode will engage
when engine rpm is at or below the programmed value.
23. Maximum PTO Vehicle Speed – Maximum speed allowed in pto mode. The engine ECM will limit fuel to
maintain this vehicle speed.
24. PTO Cab Controls RPM Limit – Determines engine rpm limit of the Cab Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
when PTO Mode is Active. Programmable settings are Low Idle, TEL, or PTO TEL.
16.10 PTO Configuration – Remote Switches
The Remote Switches Configuration utilizes the PTO On/Off switch, Remote PTO Set and Resume switches and
up to two Set Speed Switches. Each switch input may be hardwired directly to the ECM or switch input messages,
except for the Set Speed B switch input, may be received over the J1939 Data Link. An optional pair of PTO Switch
On Lamps (one in cab, the other out of the cab at the remote location – programming dependent) may be used.
16.10.1 One Speed Above Low Idle with PTO Switched On

16.11.1 PTO Configuration – Remote Switches Programmable Options

The following list includes all of the programmable options available for the PTO Configuration Remote Switches.
The options listed below are nearly identical to those for the Cab Switches Configuration. PTO will not respond to
the cab cruise control switches or the cab throttle when the PTO On/Off circuit is ON.
1. Cruise/Idle/PTO Switch Configuration – affects Remote PTO Switches if PTO Engine RPM Set Speed is not
programmed. If PTO Engine RPM Set Speed is programmed, the PTO Set is always increases engine RPM,
the PTO Resume is always a RPM decrease.
speed exceeds this limit the engine will either not allow an engine speed to be set, or disengage a set PTO speed.
3. Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate – determines the rate of engine speed acceleration/deceleration for the PTO and
Idle engine speed control.
4. Idle/PTO Bump RPM – determines the amount of rpm increase/decrease if a PTO Set/Resume switch is
toggled in the Accel/Decel position. If a PTO Engine RPM Set Speed has been programmed this parameter
does not apply.
5. PTO Top Engine Limit – Top RPM Limit of the engine while in PTO mode.
6. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed – program this parameter only if one or two specific engine speed points above
low idle are desired. The parameter is bounded by the programmed low idle and PTO Top Engine Limit.
7. PTO to Set Speed – program this parameter to YES if the application wants the engine speed to ramp up to the
PTO Engine RPM Set Speed whenever the PTO On/Off circuit is turned ON.
8. PTO Cab Throttle RPM Limit – Not available for Remote Switches.
9. Torque Limit – program this parameter if a lower than rated torque limit is desired in order to temporarily protect
equipment. The torque limit will apply whenever the Torque Limit switch is ON.
11. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A – Use this parameter to select the Set Speed A switch input terminal.
13. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input B – Use this parameter to select the Set Speed B switch input terminal.
14. PTO Shutdown Time – This parameter is programmable between 3 to 1,440 minutes (a value of 0 turns off this
feature). This parameter sets the duration of time (in minutes) that engine will operate, with the PTO On/Off
15. PTO Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM – This parameter can be used to reset of the PTO Shutdown Timer if
engine speed goes above the programmed PTO Shutdown Timer Maximum RPM. Programming this parameter

16.13 PTO Configuration – Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command

The Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command Configuration utilizes a dedicated PTO On/Off, a second, additional
PTO Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor, and a J1939 device that broadcasts TSC 1 Speed Commands.
The hardwired remote throttle MUST be connected at all times to prevent illuminating the Amber Warning Lamp
(connected to ECM Connector P1/J1, terminal-68).
The ECM will only listen to TSC 1 speed commands to control engine speed during PTO operation from the
two sources defined by SAE. Management Computer #1 ($27 hex) and Water Pump Controller ($39 hex) can
control engine speed using the TSC1 speed command. The ECM will listen to TSC 1 Speed Commands during
PTO operation only.
TSC 1 Speed Commands from the ABS and/or transmission override all other TSC 1 commands.
TSC 1 Speed Commands should only be broadcast when the controlling device needs to control engine speed.
Once the TSC 1 Speed Command is no longer broadcast, the engine speed will go to low idle, hardwired remote
throttle desired engine speed, or to a pre-established set speed.
No diagnostics are associated with TSC 1 Speed Commands.
16.13.1 Remote Accelerator Pedal Sensor & J1939 Speed Command without Set and Resume
The engine will not exceed the PTO Top Engine Limit with the PTO On/Off Switch ON.

16.15 Multiple Speed PTO Operation using PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A and B
Multiple Speed PTO operation can be utilized for all four PTO Configurations available (Cab Switches, Remote
Switches, Remote Throttle, or Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Control). This feature provides a simple means
to add one or two additional set speeds that can be actuated by turning on a dedicated switch(es) for the
programmed speed(s).
For multiple speed PTO operation the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A parameter can be programmed to use
any one of the multiple switch inputs on the ECM. The corresponding PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A parameter
can be programmed to the desired operating speed. When the switch between the selected input and sensor
common is closed, the engine will proceed to the programmed speed for that input while operating in Dedicated
PTO Mode (PTO On/Off Switch ON).
For an additional set speed input, the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input B parameter can be programmed to use
any of the other multiple inputs not selected from the choices mentioned above. Program the corresponding PTO
Engine RPM Set Speed B parameter to the desired speed. When the switch between the selected input and sensor
common is closed, the engine will proceed to the programmed speed, for that input, while the engine is operating in
Dedicated PTO Mode (PTO On/Off Switch ON), and the PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A is OFF.
When the PTO On/Off Switch is turned ON, and a PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input Switch (A or B) is already ON,
or then turned ON, the engine will proceed to the corresponding rpm programmed for that switch. If both switches
are ON, the engine will proceed to PTO Engine RPM Set Speed A. PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A has priority
over PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input B. If switch A is then turned OFF, the engine will proceed to the programmed
PTO Engine RPM Set Speed B. If switch A is then turned ON again, the engine will proceed back to PTO Engine
RPM Set Speed A. If both switches are turned OFF the engine will then return to Low Idle.
The PTO Engine RPM Set Speeds A and B can be used with all other PTO features used to control engine rpm
with the exception of conditions that disable PTO operation or cause a “kickout”. For Example, the Cab Throttle,
Remote Throttle, Cruise Set/Resume, and Remote Set/Resume Inputs as well as the PTO to Set Speed feature
are all ignored when either PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input Switch (A or B) is ON. When the switch is turned
OFF, normal control is returned.
Applications using the Dedicated PTO Configuration of Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command can utilize the
Set Speed A and B functions. TSC 1 commands have priority over the hardwired remote throttle and all set speeds,
including PTO Engine RPM Set Speeds A and B.
When a single PTO Set Speed Input Switch (A or B) is turned On, the PTO Set Speed will be changed from the
previous PTO Set Speed value (created by the Set/Resume Switch) to the programmed PTO Engine RPM Set
Speed (A or B). When that PTO Set Speed Input Switch is turned Off, the PTO Set Speed is changed to Low Idle.
The Set/Resume switch will need to be used to create a PTO Set Speed above Low Idle.
NOTE: The PTO to Set Speed feature is only available for Cab Switches and Remote Switches configurations.
If the PTO to Set Speed parameter is programmed to YES and a PTO Engine RPM Set Speed is programmed,
the engine will automatically go to that programmed speed when the PTO On/Off Switch is turned ON. However,
if either PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input Switch (A or B) is ON, the engine will operate at the corresponding rpm
programmed for that switch. When the A or B switch is turned OFF, the engine will proceed to the PTO Engine RPM
Set Speed. If the PTO to Set Speed parameter is programmed to NO, the engine will return to Low Idle when the
PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input Switch (A or B) is turned OFF.

17.0 Engine Retarder

17.1 Engine Retarder Control
The ECM can directly drive the solenoids for a Caterpillar factory installed compression type engine retarder and
also provide an auxiliary brake signal based upon engine rpm, throttle position, clutch and brake engagement,
and the cruise control on/off switch setting. The retarder output signal prevents the ECM initiated retarder operation
while the engine is being fueled.
17.2 Engine Retarder Operation
In order to assure proper retarder operation the following conditions must be met, regardless of the Customer
Parameter settings for the Engine Retarder, Auto Retarder in Cruise, Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed,
Engine Retarder Minimum VSL Type, and Engine Retarder Delay parameters:
Engine RPM is above 800 rpm
AND
Accelerator Pedal Position ⭐ 5%
AND
Clutch Pedal released
And
*PTO On/Off Switch OFF
*Engine Retarder Operation is disabled when the PTO On/Off Switch is in the On position.
17.3 Engine Retarder Level
Engine Retarder Solenoid operation is dependant on OEM installed switches providing logic input to the control
indicated in the following table for proper operation. Engine Retarder switch programming is dependent on the
Compression Brake System Installation Status. Caterpillar does not require OEM installed retarder switches if the
Engine Compression Brake System is set to Installed. When no switches are programmed, and conditions are met
to turn on the engine retarder, the engine retarder will operate in High Mode only.
The following table outlines the level of engine braking that can be achieved when the Compression Brake System
is set to Installed and the Engine Retarder switch position and/or programming. A short circuit in the following table
is a connection to ECM Connector P1, terminal 5 (AP Sensor/Switch Sensor Common).

17.4 Engine Retarder Mode
The customer parameter Engine Retarder Mode has three options, Manual, Coast, or Latch. These three modes
of operation have an effect when the engine retarder operates.
Additional operating requirements must be met if the Cruise Control On/Off switch is in the on position, the engine
is in Cruise Control, or when the vehicle is moving due to Customer Specified Parameters-Engine Retarder, Auto
Retarder in Cruise, Engine Retarder Minimum VSL Type, Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed, and Engine
Retarder Delay.
The engine retarder is disabled if the vehicle speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h) but less that the programmed Engine
Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed (program this parameter to 0 mph(0 km/h) to disable vehicle speed regulation of
the retarder). The engine retarder is also disabled whenever the PTO On/Off switch is On if the customer parameter
PTO Configuration is programmed to Cab Switches, Remote Switches, Remote Throttle, or Remote Throttle &
J1939 Speed Command.
With the Cruise Control Switch On, three programmable retarder options allow the engine retarder to operate only
after the driver steps on the service brake. The three customer programmable modes of operation are:
1. Coast Mode: Engages the engine retarder when the driver presses the service brake. The retarder disengages
when the driver’s foot is removed from the service brake.
2. Latch Mode: Engages the retarder when the driver presses the service brake. The retarder remains engaged
until the control detects a change in a control input, such as depressing the accelerator pedal, clutch pedal,
or the engine rpm drops below 800 rpm. Release of the service brake does not necessarily turn Off the retarder
like the Coast Mode.
3. Manual Mode: Causes the retarder to operate the same whether the Cruise Control switch is On or
Off-depressing the service brakes is not necessary to initiate the retarder as for the Latch and Coast options.
Note: The Customer programmable modes, Latch, Coast, and Manual; determine Engine Retarder operation only
when the Cruise Control switch is On-not when the engine is active in cruise control (Latch and Coast modes
require service brake initiation before acting-service brake action disengages cruise control).

17.5 Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed
The Customer Programmable parameter “Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed” determines the minimum
vehicle speed that the engine retarder will be enabled. A typical application for this feature is to prevent the engine
retarder from engaging while operating in a noise restricted area while the vehicle is operating at a slower than
highway speeds.
17.6 Engine Retarder Minimum VSL Type
The customer programmable parameter “Engine Retarder Minimum VSL Type” is used to allow the engine retarder
to stay engaged below the programmed “Minimum Vehicle Speed” programming. When programmed to “Soft Limit”
and the engine retarder has been engaged, the engine retarder will continue to stay engaged until the engine
reaches a minimum RPM, the clutch is engaged, or the operator depresses the throttle. When programmed to
“Hard Limit” the engine retarder will disengage at the programmed “Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed”.
The parameter has no effect on when the engine retarder is engaged.
17.7 Auto Retarder in Cruise

The Auto Retarder in Cruise option allows the engine retarder to come on while the engine is active in cruise
control mode in order to attempt to maintain the cruise control set speed. The Auto Retarder in Cruise option still
requires the engine retarder switches to be in the On position, and will only activate the retarder to the level at
which the switches indicate operation should occur. The Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter programs a vehicle
speed above the cruise control set speed at which the retarder will begin engaging the engine retarder. At this
vehicle speed the engine retarder will come on at the “low level”. The Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment determines
the incremental mph for the medium and high braking levels (assuming the engine retarder switches are On above
the low level). If the increment is programmed to “zero” and the retarder switch is set to “High”, the retarder will
actuate at the “High” setting.
17.8 Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment
The Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment determines the incremental mph for the medium and high braking levels
(assuming the engine retarder switches are ON above the low level). When the increment is programmed to “zero”
and the Retarder switch is set to “High”, the Retarder will actuate at the “High” setting. This feature will interact with
the Soft Cruise parameter programming. If Soft Cruise is programmed to YES, the minimum increment that can be
set will be 5 mph.
Example: Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment is programmed to 2 mph and the Engine Retarder Switch is set to
High. When the vehicle speed reaches 2 mph above the Cruise Control Set Speed, the engine retarder is engaged
at the low level. When the vehicle speed reaches 4 mph above the Cruise Control Set Speed, the Engine Retarder
is engaged at the Medium Level. When the vehicle reaches 6 mph above the Cruise Control Set Speed, the Engine
Retarder is engaged at the High Level.
17.9 Engine Retarder Delay
The Engine Retarder Delay parameter provides a lag between when conditions are actually met for the Engine
Retarder and the time the Engine Retarder comes On.
Trucks equipped with SAE J1939 systems may also control the Engine Retarder when necessary.
17.10 ABS Engine Retarder Relay Specification

18.0 Programmable Outputs

The engine ECM is equipped with Nine programmable ECM outputs. Six outputs are High Side Drivers capable
of a 2 Amp output. The engine ECM is also equipped with three Low Side Drivers that are capable of 300 milliamp
output. ECM programmable features that require an output signal from the ECM are programmable to each of
these outputs.
The following table outlines each pin and its signal capability.
ECM Terminal Signal

18.1 High Side Driver Electrical Specifications

Electrical characteristics of these high side outputs are as follows:
Minimum ‘ON’ Maximum ‘ON’ Maximum Current Draw Off State

Output Voltage Output Voltage
Battery – 2.0 volts Battery 2 Amp (12 V) High Impedance
These outputs can be connected to the coil side of a relay or directly to a solenoid (if the maximum current draw
for the solenoid is less than 2 amps). If connected to a relay, the contact side of the relay should be connected
to “+Battery” and the appropriate solenoid. Regardless if the output is used to connect to a solenoid or relay
coil, Caterpillar recommends transient suppression be used on the inductive load in addition to the ECM internal
protection.
High Side Driver Outputs are capable of driving multiplex modules OEMs use in various applications. All high
side driver outputs are capable of driving up to a 5 K ohm load. Multiplex modules with greater than 5 K ohm input
impedance require a resistor to be wired in parallel to bring the overall circuit resistance below 5 K ohms. Failure
to add a resistor in parallel may cause undesired circuit operation and/or diagnostic codes.
OEM is responsible for determining circuit requirements.
Circuit protection for the contact side of the relay and its grounding (when powering a relay) is left to the
OEM’s discretion. Do not ground the relay or solenoid to the ECM Sensor Common connections.

18.5 Engine Running Output

An Engine Running Output is available to indicate the engine is running. The Engine Running Output parameter
can be programmed to either a low side or high side ECM driver .
This Output programming can be used to disable the starter or other devices when programmed as a high side
driver. This will be a normally closed relay so that cranking can be achieved immediately at power up. During
cranking, the ECM will energize the relay once the engine rpm reaches 50 rpm below the low idle rpm. The relay
will be de-energized if engine rpm falls 100 rpm below the programmed low idle (600-750 rpm is low idle range).
A normally closed relay is recommended because the ECM could see insufficient battery voltage during cranking,
preventing the ECM from providing sufficient battery voltage to energize the relay.
Engine Running Output
Figure 77 – Engine Running Output Shown as High Side Driver Wiring Diagram
This Output programming can also be used to enable the starter (GM Only). When programmed as a low side
driver the ECM enables the starter by providing sensor common to the starter. The Engine Running Output comes
ON when the key is turned on. Once the engine reaches low idle the Engine Running Output will be de-energized
(turned OFF) to prevent the starter from being engaged.

18.6 Engine Shutdown Output
An Engine Shutdown Output is available to shut down the vehicle electrical system after the idle shutdown
timer expires.
This feature can provide the vehicle operator with the ability to remove the ignition key from the truck and leave the
vehicle, relying on the Engine Shutdown Output to remove power from the vehicle electrical system after the engine
shuts down when the idle shutdown timer expires. The operator may also shut down the vehicle immediately by
turning the key OFF and opening the Shutdown Switch. This requires a normally closed OEM installed switch and
a normally open OEM installed relay.
NOTE: If the wiring is configured as shown, the Electronic Service Tool Ignition Key Switch Status will display
ON whenever the Engine Shutdown Output Relay is ON, even if the ignition key switch has been turned to the
OFF position.

18.7 Starting Aid Output
A Starting Aid Output parameter is available to connect to a relay and/or solenoid to control a Continuous Flow
Starting Aid System. The Starting Aid Output parameter can be programmed to ECM High Side (2 Amp) or Low
Side (sensor common) drivers.
Typical Starting Aid Systems inject ether into the intake manifold to aid engine starting during cold weather
operation. The output can be automatically controlled by the ECM, or an optional switch can be added to allow the
operator to enable or disable the starting aid output. If a switch is installed the Starting Aid On/Off Switch parameter
must be programmed to the corresponding switch input. When the switch is in the ON position (closed circuit),
the Starting Aid System will automatically enable the Starting Aid Output when conditions require the use of a
starting aid. When the switch is in the OFF position, the Starting Aid System will not function. If the Starting Aid
On/Off Switch parameter is programmed to None (default), this feature is not used. If it is programmed to one of the
available input options (J1/P1: 6, 7, 22, 23, 35, 40, 44, 45, 46, 47, 56, 58, 59, or 60) the feature is available and the
switch circuit should be connected to the input option specified.
The Intake Manifold Air Temperature reading is used to determine if conditions require use of the Starting Aid.
If a fault condition exists with the Intake Manifold Air Temperature sensor circuit, the Coolant Temperature Sensor
reading will be used. If the temperature reading is below 0° C (32° F) and an attempt is made to start the engine,
the Starting Aid Output will be enabled for up to 30 seconds while the engine is cranking. If the engine starts or
a condition occurs that prevents fuel from being injected, the Staring Aid Output will be disabled.

19.0 Governor Type

The ECM has the capability of being programmed to one of three governor types. These governor types are
Full Range, Min/Max, and Min/Max with Speed Control.
19.1 Full Range Governor
The Full Range governor is an engine speed governor that works on the principle that the engine will try to maintain
an engine speed for a given throttle position. This governor type is recommended for all manual transmissions.
1. Governor Type programmed to Full Range.
19.2 Min/Max Governor
The purpose of this feature is to provide an alternative type of engine speed governor commonly referred to as
“Min/Max Governor.” This governor essentially only “governs” engine speed when at the minimum or maximum
allowed engine speed. When in between these limits, the throttle-position will cause the engine to produce power
proportional to its value. The benefit of this type of governor is smoother shifting for engines with automatic/
automated transmissions and includes Eaton Autoshift/Ultrashift; Meritor Freedomline, and all Allison transmissions.
The Min/Max governor will attempt to maintain a constant engine power output, based on the throttle position.
This design provides optimized shift quality with automatic transmissions, and offers excellent power modulation,
which allows the operator to adjust the engine power output to match typical vehicle operating conditions.
The engine will accelerate or decelerate to “find” a vehicle load level that will match the engine output commanded
by the throttle. If the throttle is commanding more power than the vehicle load will offer, the engine will accelerate
to the high idle speed.
Vehicles that are lightly loaded will achieve a desired acceleration at a lower throttle position than vehicles which
are heavily loaded. Vehicles with very high power/weight ratios (i.e., bare chassis motor coaches) will accelerate at
very low throttle positions.

19.3 Min/Max Governor with Speed Control

The Min/Max Governor with Speed Control feature is used for the same automatic transmission applications as
the Min/Max governor. This feature allows the engine to switch to the Full Range Governor response characteristics
when the Vehicle speed is less than 1 mph or when the transmission neutral switch (required) indicates that the
transmission is in neutral. When the engine senses that the vehicle is in gear or is moving one mph or faster, the
Min/Max Governor will take over.
Note: When the transmission style programming expects a neutral switch input, programming the Neutral Switch
Input to “None” causes the ECM to assume that the transmission is in gear at all times.

20.0 Cooling Fan

The engine ECM provides a programmable parameter, Fan Control Type, that determines operation of the ECM
on ECM output terminal on J1/P1: 21, for optional cooling fan control. The Fan Control Type has a variety of options
to control up to eight types of cooling fan control systems. The Fan Control Type parameter also includes optional
output signal types for design flexibility.
20.1 Fan Control Basics
The fan control output is provided at J1/P1:21. The fan control output provides a “High” signal for fan OFF, and a
“Low” signal for fan ON. Because an electrical open circuit is the most likely failure mode, Caterpillar recommends
a normally open circuit(s). The ECM Fan control is based on coolant temperature, engine retarder operation, engine
rpm, and intake manifold air temperature. Optional OEM installed inputs include an A/C High Pressure Switch,
Manual Fan Override switch, and PTO Programming.
The Fan control will turn off when the engine speed reaches 2,300 RPM. This will help to prevent the overspeed
of the fan drive system. Once the fan has been turned off at this RPM, the fan will not turn back on until the engine
speed drops below 2,250 RPM.
To prevent unnecessary cooling fan cycling due to reduced voltage levels during engine cranking, the ECM turns
the output(s) Off (fan On).
The Electronic Technician service tool can also cause the fan to turn on with a variety of special tests.
20.2 Fan Control Options
The parameter “Fan Control Type”, determines how the ECM controls a fan. The Fan Control type programmable
options are On/Off DC, On/Off PWM, Three Speed Fan Option 1 DC, Three Speed Fan Option 1 PWM, Three
Speed Fan Option 2 DC, Three Speed Fan Option 2 PWM, Variable Speed Fan Options S (Sauer Sundstrand),
Variable Speed Fan Option BW (Borg Warner, Variable Speed Fan Option C (CAT), and None (default). Program
this parameter to None if the ECM is not connected to the cooling Fan circuit.
20.3 Fan Control Output Electrical Specifications
The fan control output terminal J1/P1:21 is capable of both PWM and DC signals. When the PWM option is chosen,
the output driver is capable of 2 Amps. When the DC options is chosen, the output driver is capable of only 1.0 Amps.
Electrical characteristics of the fan control high side driver is as follows:

20.4 Cooling Fan Programming

Correct programming is essential for proper operation of the engine fan for proper cooling package operation.
Correct programming of the fan parameter is essential for the engine to accurately broadcast Cooling Fan Speed
and Engine Parasitic Load losses over the J1939 Data Link. Incorrect programming may cause undesired engine
cooling fan operation and/or undesired chassis operation.
J1939 Broadcast Message support can be located in Chapter 27: SAE J1939 Broadcast Messages.

20.6 Cooling Fan Output Operation (On-Off Fan)
Program the “Fan Control Type” parameter to the “On/Off DC” or “On/Off PWM” option to have the ECM provide
control of an ON-OFF fan clutch. The Cooling Fan circuit sends out a high signal to turn the fan OFF. The fan comes
ON in the event of an output circuit failure such as an open circuit. This requires a relay with normally open contacts
(if powering the coil side of a relay), or a solenoid valve that deactivates the fan when it receives the disable (high)
signal. Additional switching devices in the circuit should cause an open circuit to turn the fan ON. This circuit is
designed to withstand a short circuit to “+Battery” voltage and will not be adversely affected if other devices are
connected to this line when directly driving a solenoid. When driving a relay, connection of other devices to the
Cooling Fan Output should not be necessary.
The fan will be turned off if the engine speed rises above 2,300 rpm. Once turned off, the fan will not turn On until
the engine speed has dropped below 2,250 rpm.

Notice
Caterpillar requires the OEM to install a warning sticker near the fan indicating
the fan is automatically controlled and may come ON at any time.
The ECM will turn the cooling fan ON under any of the following conditions if engine rpm is less than 2,250 rpm:
1. Engine Not Running
2. During Engine Cranking
3. Coolant Sensor Temperature > 102° C (216° F)
4. Active Coolant Temperature Sensor Diagnostic

11. J1939 Request from Transmission
12. *Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Fan Enable Vehicle Speed Threshold
*These items are dependent upon programming of Customer Parameters.
NOTE: The ECM will turn the cooling fan OFF for 10 seconds during an engine shutdown.
The fan will remain on for a minimum of 30 seconds following ECM initiated activation except following engine start
up, or if the A/C Pressure Switch Fan On Time is programmed less than 30 seconds. During engine start up, the
ECM will keep the fan ON for 2 seconds after the engine has reached the programmed low idle (600 – 750 rpm).
This is done because unstable vehicle battery voltage during cranking may cause the fan to cycle.
The fan will be turned OFF by the control (after being turned ON) if engine rpm exceeds 2,300 rpm or when all the
following circumstances are met.
1. Coolant Sensor Temperature < 98° C (208° F)
2. The fan has been ON for at least 30 seconds
3. Intake Manifold Air Temperature < 65° C (149° F)

20.7 Cooling Fan Output Operation (Three Speed Fan Option 1)

The Three Speed Fan operates in three modes: brake, slip and direct (full speed). Two solenoids are required for
three speed fan control. The fan comes ON in direct mode in the event of an output circuit failure such as an open
circuit. This requires relays with normally open contacts (if powering the coil side of a relay), or solenoid valves that
deactivate the fan when it receives the disable (high) signal. Additional switching devices in the circuit should cause
an open circuit to turn the fan ON. This circuit is designed to withstand a short circuit to “+Battery” voltage and will
not be adversely affected if other devices are connected to this line when directly driving a solenoid. When driving
relays, connection of other devices to the Cooling Fan Outputs should not be necessary.
When the fan is in Brake Mode both output drivers are ON (Fan OFF). In Slip Mode Output #4 driver (J1/P1: 13) is
OFF and Output #8 driver (J1/P1: 21) is ON. During Direct Mode both output drivers are OFF (Fan ON full speed).

20.8 Cooling Fan Operation (Three Speed Fan Option 2)

The Three Speed Fan operates in three modes: Off, Low Speed, and High Speed. Two solenoids are required for
three speed fan control. The fan comes ON in High Speed in the event of an output circuit failure such as an open
circuit. This requires relays with normally open contacts (if powering the coil side of a relay), or solenoid valves that
deactivate the fan when it receives the disable (high) signal. Additional switching devices in the circuit should cause

20.9 Variable Speed Fan Option S

The variable speed fan control is based on a fan system manufactured by Sauer-Danfoss. When the “Fan Control
Type” parameter is programmed to Variable Speed Option S, the ECM provides a pulse width modulated (PWM)
signal for open loop control. This output to the Fan Drive Controller (FDC) will very fan speed in proportion to cooling
demand. Any system non-linearity is compensated for by the FDC. The fan control will turn the fan Full On (100%)
during those conditions that require the fan to be On. These conditions include, but are not restricted to: fan ON
during PTO Mode and fan ON with the Engine Retarder Engaged.
Note: The Fan Override Switch message over J1939 will not vary the fan speed. The fan will be turned ON (100%)
when the switch message value is = > 95.2%.

ECM will keep the fan ON for 2 seconds after the engine has reached the programmed low idle (600 – 750 rpm).
This is done because unstable vehicle battery voltage during cranking may cause the fan to cycle.
20.10 Variable Speed Option BW (Borg Warner)

The variable speed fan control is based on a fan system manufactured by Borg Warner. When the “Fan Control
Type” parameter is programmed to Variable Speed Option BW, the ECM provides a pulse width modulated (PWM)
signal for open loop control. The ECM directly controls the Heavy Duty Multi Speed (HDMS) Fan Clutch via a
two-pin connection. This output will vary fan speed in proportion to cooling demand. The fan control will turn the
fan Full On (100%) during those conditions that require the fan to be On. These conditions include, but are not
restricted to: fan ON during PTO Mode and fan ON with the Engine Retarder Engaged.

20.10.1 Variable Speed Option BW and A/C High Pressure Switch Operation
The Variable Speed Option BW fan control strategy uses the A/C High Pressure to turn the fan on at a thirty percent
PWM signal. The ECM will lower the PWM signal by one percent every ten seconds while the A/C Pressure switch
is either on or counting down (A/C fan on time parameter programming).
When the A/C pressure switch is off and the A/C fan on timer counter has stopped, the ECM will turn the fan to the
Off position (100% PWM). When the A/C Pressure switch closes again to turn the fan On, the ECM will remember
the last PWM percentage during the last A/C pressure switch cycle, and continue to count down from that value.
The ECM will continue to count down until the fan is full on (0% PWM).
Once the key switch is cycled Off/On, or the ECM sees vehicle speed above 15 mph, the ECM will reset the A/C
pressure PWM signal to thirty percent.

20.12.1 Caterpillar Fan Basics
The Caterpillar Fan System has a total of 3 different cooling modules. Each module has a different arrangement
number which defines a unique cooling system. Each of the 3 cooling systems have similar features, however,
each module has a unique radiator group, hydraulic oil cooler, air to air after cooler, fan assembly, fan shroud
and fan motor.
Caterpillar Fans are available in single or dual units and are designated by its engine displacement (in liters),
and fan configuration. The following table outlines the Cat fan nomenclature.

21.0 Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control is a feature designed to allow the engine ECM and an on board proximity radar system
available from Eaton-VORAD Corporation to work together to control vehicle following distance while in cruise.
Communication between the engine ECM and the on board radar system is done using the SAE J1939 network.
If a malfunction occurs when Adaptive Cruise Control is active, normal cruise control can be reestablished by
toggling the Cruise Control On/Off switch, Off to On, two times in rapid succession.
This feature will not be available for engines produced before October of 2002.

22.0 Inlet Air Shut Off

An inlet air shut off system is available for preventing the engine from over-speeding due to ingesting combustible
gas present in the ambient air. This system is capable of shutting off the inlet air to the engine by closing a spring-
loaded flap on the air inlet. When the conditions are met to energize the relay (zero vehicle speed; battery Voltage
on J1/P1:62 (neutral switch input); throttle at minimum; engine speed is over 2,500 RPM), the fuel injectors are
disabled and the Air Inlet Shutoff Relay control on J2/P2: 4 is turned “On” for approximately 1 second, supplying
battery voltage at 2 Amps to drive the Air Inlet Shutoff relay. When the Air Inlet Relay is energized, a mechanical
restraint is pulled from the normally closed, spring-loaded flap located on the engine air inlet. This allows the
flap to close off the inlet air supply to the engine. Once closed, the flap must be manually reset to the open and
armed position.
22.1 Air Inlet Shutoff Switch
An Air Inlet Shut Off Override Switch input can be used to test the function of the Inlet Air Shut Off System.
Closing this switch input, with the Transmission in Neutral and with zero vehicle speed, will cause the solenoid
controlling the Inlet Air Shut Off System to actuate. The Air Inlet Shut Off Override Switch is programmable to
one of several ECM terminal locations. These terminal locations are listed in the table below.

Caterpillar C13 & C15 engines can be connected to a variety of transmissions. The type or “Style” of transmission
determines what switch inputs and data links are required for proper engine/transmission operation.
Caterpillar provides the Customer Parameter “Transmission Style” that has the options of Manual, Automatic,
or Eaton Top 2. If a neutral switch, second separate service brake pedal position switch, clutch pedal position switch
or parking brake switch is used, the ECM will need to be programmed to use these switch inputs. Service Brake
Pedal Position #1 is required by Caterpillar. Correct programming is required to provide proper cruise control, PTO,
Extended Idle, and Caterpillar Regeneration System operation.

24.0 ABS and Traction Control

The ECM can communicate with ABS and ABS with Traction Control using the SAE J1939 data link. The Customer
Parameter “Drive line Data Link” must be programmed to “J1939” to enable this communication. Caterpillar’s ECM
will respond to commands from Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS) using SAE J1939 communication for Engine
Retarder control. This eliminates a relay for ABS systems using SAE J1939 communications. This does require
connection to the engine control SAE J1939 Data Link. Those ABS systems not using J1939 communications will
still require relays.
25.0 Data Links

25.1 SAE J1587/J1708 Data Link
The control system has a standard data link available for communicating with electronic service tools, dash
displays, and certain transmissions. The ATA (American Trucking Association), SAE J1587/SAE J1708 Data Link is
standard on all Caterpillar Truck Engines. The ATA data link can reduce duplication of engine and vehicle sensors
by allowing other control systems to share sensor information. The ATA data link is used to communicate with
Caterpillar service tools and the Caterpillar Messenger (driver information display system). The ATA data link does
not require a Customer Parameter to activate. The data link follows SAE recommended practice J1708 for hardware
and SAE recommended practice J1587 for the communication protocol.
An OEM installed wiring harness and cab connector is necessary for allowing access to the data link with the
service tool. There is not a data link connector supplied in the engine harness. Caterpillar requests the vehicle
OEM install a data link connector in the engine compartment for those applications where the cab data link
connector is too far away for practical service of the engine. For engine mounted data link connectors Caterpillar
recommends grounding the engine data link connector directly to the engine ground stud through a splice into
either “-Battery” wire (Connector P1, terminal 63, 65, 67, or 69). It must not be grounded to ECM Sensor Common
connections. An example application for an engine area installed data link connector would be found on a bus or
RV with a rear mount engine.
Caterpillar requires a 9-terminal dash connector.
The diagrams below represents the ATA data link installed into a 9-terminal dash connector.

25.2 Service Tools and Diagnostics

The control system has built-in diagnostics to verify system components are operating properly. In the event of
a component failure, the driver is alerted to the condition via an OEM installed “Check Engine” or diagnostic lamp,
or from a message transmitted over the SAE J1587 or J1939 data links. Intermittent faults are logged and stored
in the memory of the ECM and can be retrieved using an Electronic Service Tool.
The required electronic service tool for the C15 engine is Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). ET is a software
based service tool used to diagnose and repair Caterpillar products. It is designed to run on a personal computer
using the Windows® 95 or newer operating systems.
1. Data link connector, following The Maintenance Council RP1202.
2. Amber Warning Lamp.
1. Availability of some diagnostic codes is influenced by parameter programming, such as Engine Monitoring.
The Caterpillar service tool connector uses a 9-terminal Deutsch HD series connector to connect to the vehicle.
Caterpillar offers a variety of adapter cables to connect various cab/engine data link connectors to the standard
9-pin connector found on the 139-4166 or 160-0141 Service Tool cable. The following list identifies some of those
adapter cables commonly used on various applications.

25.3 ECM Software Changes
ECM software changes (uprates, updates) require a personal computer, a Caterpillar approved communication
adapter, and Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) Win-Flash.
25.4 Information Available Via SAE J1587/J1708 Using SAE J1587 Escape Parameter
Trip data and Maintenance Indicator data are available only via the SAE J1587 Data Link escape parameter.
Accessing this information requires Caterpillar to provide the communication protocol. Please contact Caterpillar
Engineering if you are interested in accessing this data. A description of the available data follows.
25.5 Engine Totals

The ECM maintains current totals for the following information.
ECM Maintained Total Data
Total Time Total Max Fuel Total Distance in Top Gear

Total PTO Time Average Load Factor Total Distance in Top Gear Minus One
Total Idle Time Lifetime Total Engine Revolutions Fan Total Operating Hours
Total Distance Total Time in Top Gear ARD Fan Operating Hours
Total Fuel Total Time in Top Gear Minus One A/C High Pressure Switch Fan Operating Hours
Total PTO Fuel Total Fuel in Top Gear Fan Override Switch Fan Operating Hours
Total Idle Fuel Total Fuel in Top Gear Minus One High Coolant Temperature Fan Operating Hours
Average Load Factor is calculated using actual fuel used, maximum fuel possible, and idle fuel:
Average Load Factor = [(actual fuel – idle fuel)/(maximum fuel – idle fuel)]
All data is stored in metric form except distance (miles), and vehicle speed (mph). Conversion to other formats are
performed by the Electronic Service Tool.
Fan Total Operating Hours will not equal the sum of ARD, A/C, Fan Override, and High Coolant Temperature Fan
Operating Hours. Other conditions exist that cause the fan output on the ECM to initialize fan operation.
25.6 Trip Data
Included under the heading of Trip Segment is a Fleet Trip Segment and Driver Trip Segment. These two data segments
are independent – resetting one does not affect the other. The fleet trip segment also includes a 3-dimensional
histogram (engine rpm, vehicle speed, and engine hours), two 2-dimensional histogram (one for engine rpm –
hours, the other for vehicle speed – hours), and five sets of Fleet Segment Custom Data. The 2-dimensional
histograms are a subset of the 3-dimensional histogram.
A segment is defined as the difference from the current instantaneous Engine Totals data and the Engine Totals
stored at the previous reset of the data. When a reset occurs, the ECM stores the current ECM Engine Totals value
in place of the old value for the respective Trip Data information. The ECM maintains only the data reset values for
the Fleet Trip Data or Driver Trip Data segments, and Maintenance Indicator segment. The ECM does not calculate
actual trip data for these trip segments. It does, however, calculate the data for the Fleet Trip Data Histograms and
Fleet Segment Custom data. The Fleet Trip Segment can be further divided into two driver trip segments tagged
by the Driver ID, and also into state segments. Driver ID and State crossing data requires a Caterpillar Messenger
display or Caterpillar Pocket Tec to enter Driver ID’s and State crossings.
25.7 Fleet Trip Segment
The Fleet Trip Segment maintains the following Engine Totals information, recorded at the time of reset:
Fleet Trip Segment Data
Time (Engine Hours) Idle Fuel Average Driving Speed

Driving Time Percent Idle Time Max Vehicle Speed
Distance PTO Time Max Engine Speed
Fuel PTO Fuel Start Timer
Overall Fuel Economy Percent PTO Time End Time
Driving Fuel Economy Average Load Factor Start Odometer
Idle Time Average Vehicle Speed End Odometer
A reset occurs via a data link message only.
25.8 Fleet Trip Histograms

The ECM maintains the histograms tracking Engine Hours at specific Engine Speed and Vehicle Speed ranges.
The RPM data points and vehicle speed ranges are broken down into various ranges such as 0-4, 5-9, 10-14 mph
or 0-599, 600-699, 700-799 rpm. A reset occurs via a data link message only.
25.9 Fleet Segment Custom Data
The Fleet Segment Custom Data records data determined from a specific list of customer defined options.
The basic structure of the data is as follows:
xxxx WHEN yyyy IS rangeY AND zzzz is rangeZ.
For Example:
fuel burned WHEN cruise IS on AND vehicle speed IS BETWEEN 65 and 90 mph
Variable xxxx Range xxxx Variables yyyy & zzzz Range yyyy & zzzz
Engine Hours 131,000 Engine Speed 0-3000
Distance Traveled 1,677,720 Vehicle Speed 0-127.5
Fuel Burned 8,192 Fuel Rate 0-40
Occurrences 4,294,967,296 Load Factor 0-100
Oil Pressure 0-4753 psi
Coolant Temperature 0-248 (F)
Intake Manifold Air Temp 0-248 (F)

25.10 Driver Trip Segment Data

The Driver Trip Segment maintains the following Engine Total Data recorded at the time of reset:
Driver Trip Segment
Time (Engine Hours) Idle Fuel Average Driving Speed

Driving Time Percent Idle Time Max Vehicle Speed
Distance PTO Time Max Engine Speed
Fuel PTO Fuel Start Timer
Overall Fuel Economy Percent PTO Time End Time
Driving Fuel Economy Average Load Factor Start Odometer
Idle Time Average Vehicle Speed End Odometer
A reset occurs via a data link message only.

25.11 Customer Parameter Cross Check
Caterpillar FIS (Fleet Information Software) can set up a template for Customer Parameters. This template can then
be checked against the parameters in trucks, exceptions noted and then corrected. No ECM Customer Parameters
are required to enable this feature. It is available only from the FIS.
25.12 ECM Wireless Communication Enable

This parameter is used to configure the ECM for use with a remote communications device such as a HIGHWAY
MASTER® wireless network or a QUALCOMM OmniTRAC® satellite network. Remote communications are used
to program parameters and transfer ECM data. Factory Level Passwords are required to enable this feature.
This parameter is defaulted to NO (OFF). It can only be enabled by obtaining Factory Passwords from Caterpillar.
This feature can only be enabled after the truck has been delivered to the customer.
25.13 Economy Model
Using Caterpillar’s Fleet Information Software (FIS), a customer can set up scoring parameters to rate driver and
vehicle performance. The parameters include: average engine rpm, average vehicle speed, shifting technique,
power demand, and idle time. These parameters are weighted to determine a score. No ECM Customer Parameters
are required to enable this feature. It is available only from the FIS software.
25.14 Driver Reward
The Driver Reward feature can be used to reward the driver for operating a truck in a manner meeting the truck
owner’s specifications. Weighting factors can be applied to various parameters reflecting the desired and expected
operating habits. If operating habits meet or exceed the owner’s specifications, the VSL is automatically increased
as a reward. The VSL will decrease when operating habits do not meet owner specifications. The Customer
Parameter “Driver Reward Enable” is used to Enable or Disable this feature.
Caterpillar Messenger or Caterpillar Pocket Tec can be used to monitor parameters affecting the Driver Incentive,
allowing the driver to adjust operating techniques as required.
25.15 Maintenance Indicator Data
The ECM maintains Maintenance information for three levels of maintenance; PM1, Coolant Flush/Fill, and PM2.
PM1 (Preventative Maintenance Level 1) is defined as oil and filter service, and PM2 (Preventative Maintenance
Level 2) is an engine inspection/clean-up. Stored information is last maintenance performed (PM1, PM2, Coolant
Flush/Fill), and PM1 interval. The information is available in either engine hours or miles. For further information
about PM1, PM2, and Coolant Flush/Fill, see the Operation and Maintenance Manuals for the respective engine.
25.16 PM1 Maintenance
The ECM provides PM1 maintenance interval and last maintenance information. PM1 is determined by customer
programming and can be based on either automatic or manual schedules of distance, time, and oil sump capacity.
25.17 Engine Snapshot Recorder
The ECM stores engine operating parameters when diagnostic codes occur. An Electronic Service Tool or the
Cruise Set/Resume switch can also be used to manually trigger a snapshot. The Set/Resume switch must be
toggled to the Set then the Resume position within one second to trigger the snapshot recorder. The ECM can
store up to two Diagnostic Code Triggered snapshots, two Externally triggered snapshots, and one Quick Stop
Snapshot. Each type is stored in a “circular buffer”. When a new snapshot is taken, the oldest one in the buffer
will be replaced.
25.18 Data Stored In Engine Snapshot Recorder Frames
Each frame of the snapshot stores the Status Parameter data.
25.19 Quick Stop Recorder
A snapshot can also be stored for a Quick Stop occurrence if the “Quick Stop Rate” Customer Parameter is
programmed between 3 and 15 mph/second. The ECM stores the number of occurrences of the Quick Stop Events,
as well as a snapshot of the latest occurrence. This feature is designed to help the vehicle Owner determine how
the vehicle is being operated. The programmed value should reflect an abnormal stopping time and should be set
high enough to prevent “normal” driving conditions from generating a Quick Stop Event. A typical setting would be
10 mph/second.
25.20 Engine Snapshot Recorder Records

Each Quick Stop record contains 60 frames of information; frame 45 is the Quick Stop occurrence, 44 frames
before, 15 frames following the code. Each frame is separated by 1.0 second.
25.20.1 Data Stored In Quick Stop Recorder Frames
Each frame of the snapshot record stores the following data:

The Power Train Data Link parameter should be programmed to match the configuration of the vehicle.
Programmable options are J1939 (default) and None. Caterpillar recommends programming the Power Train
Data Link parameter to None if the J1939 Data Link is not being used to avoid unnecessary diagnostics.
Caterpillar electronic service tools have the capability to temporarily disable the Power Train Data Links for
dynamometer or other diagnostic testing purposes.

28.0 SAE J1939 Received Messages

The following tables list all SAE J1939 Received Messages currently supported. The ECM Power Train Data Link
Parameter must be programmed to J1939.
Notes for Transmission communication:
Torque/Speed Control #1 from Transmission Control to Engine
This message is used by the transmission to control the engine. The three override modes have been implemented
if the request is from a transmission control:
Mode 01: speed control
Mode 10: torque control
Mode 11: speed/torque limit control
There are a few restrictions placed on these override modes and these are:
1. Default to normal engine operation if no message received every 90 milliseconds
2. Accept torque limit commands from –127 to 127, but any negative torque commands are responded to as
a zero torque command.
3. The engine speed will not drop below programmed low idle engine rpm. If torque limit commands limit torque
below what the engine needs to run at low idle, the engine will run at the higher torque value to keep the engine
at low idle.
4. Engine speed limit and engine speed override values outside the low idle to top engine limit range are accepted,
but engine speed will only go to these limits.
5. During speed override mode, engine power is limited to about 120 horsepower.
6. If an engine speed request is higher than driver requested for five seconds, then the command is ignored until
it drops below driver input desired speed or mode 01 is inactivated.
Torque/Speed Control #1 from Transmission Control to Retarder
Caterpillar engine controls accept this message if our control is broadcasting the ERC1 message which
indicates that an engine retarder is installed. If the retarder is installed, then the following control mode has
been implemented if the request comes from a transmission control:
Mode 10: torque control
There are a few restrictions placed on this override mode and these are:
1. Default to normal retarder operation if no message received every 200 milliseconds
2. Engine must not be firing injectors or command will be ignored. An example would be that transmission control
is in speed mode overriding below actual engine speed which means fuel would be shut off.
3. Transmission control must be in an override mode of engine control or engine retarder will not be turned on.
4. The torque request must be between –100% and –20% to have any engine retarder effect.
Electronic Transmission Controller #1: ETC1
Caterpillar uses this message for a service tool to indicate a transmission control exists on the J1939 data link.
If a transmission supplier uses J1939 to communicate to the engine, then Caterpillar requires this message be
supported. This message is also used to indicate via data byte five that the momentary engine Overspeed enable
is requested. This status is used by the engine control to allow the transmission to override the top engine limit and
use speed override requests up to the override speed indicated in the Engine Configuration Message, bytes 22-23.
Engine defaults to normal operation if the message has not been received for 300 milliseconds.

29.0 Customer Specified Parameters

Customer Specified Parameters allow the engine ECM to be programmed to meet the needs of the chassis and
customer operation. The OEM should take enough time to become familiar with the parameter options and how
they relate to the intended engine application. These parameters may be changed as often as necessary to tailor
the engine operation to the application. Some parameters may be locked to prevent tampering and all parameters
may be “Customer Password” protected. Customer parameters may be changed repeatedly as a customer changes
his operation or as new drivers are assigned to a truck.
Customer Passwords (once programmed) are required to change these parameters.
The following is a brief description of the Customer Specified Parameters. Along with each are the available values
for the parameter and the default value. The parameter value shown in bold is the default value, which can also
be the programmed setting to disable a feature.
The tables show values in an approximate range for metric (kilometers, km/h, liters) units, followed by the exact
U.S. (or English) units (miles, mph, quarts). The exact range of the parameter in metric units depends upon the
Service Tool used because each Service Tool may use slightly different conversion factors.
The Customer Parameter Table lists each parameter, the default value, the available options and the Parameter
Identifier (PID) used with a Vehicle Electronic Programming Station (VEPS). The parameters and options listed
are shown as they appear on the Electronic Service Tool display screen.
29.1 Customer Parameter Lockout
This feature is available to restrict access to changing some available parameters. Locking out a parameter may
require Customer Passwords (if used). Once a parameter is locked out, Factory Passwords are required to change
the parameter or unlock the parameter.
If a “lockable” parameter is not locked out, Factory Passwords are not required to change the setting. A locked out
parameter restricts the parameter from being changed. This allows vehicle owners to prevent their operators from
tampering with the parameter configuration by obtaining Customer Passwords.
29.2 Multiple/Selectable ECM Terminal Locations
The Caterpillar programmable options employ a strategy of multiple parameters being programmable to multiple
pins. This strategy includes high side drivers (2 Amp output) or low side drivers (sensor common). It is the OEMs
responsibility to design, build, and maintain a record of the programmable parameter settings, and wiring for a
particular chassis. It is also the repairing dealers responsibility to program properly, or wire a particular chassis
if requested by the end customer.
Failure to properly program or wire a particular circuit could result in damage to chassis components. The ECM
is protected internally from such occurrences.
Circuit Ids, wire color, voltage, and current capabilities can be found
in Chapter 32 of this Application and Installation Guide.
A complete understanding of the Caterpillar programmable parameters, options,
and VEPS programming is crucial for correct engine performance.
The following Customer Parameters are available for lockout using an Electronic Service Tool or VEPS:
• A/C Switch Fan On-Time • Top Gear Minus One Ratio

• Adaptive Cruise Control Enable • Top Gear Minus Two Ratio
• Coolant Level Sensor • Top Gear Ratio
• Driver Reward Enable • Torque Limit
• Engine Retarder Delay • Transmission Style
• Fan Control Type • Vehicle Overspeed Threshold
• Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit • Vehicle Speed Calibration (J1939-ABS)
• High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit • Vehicle Speed Calibration (J1939-Trans)
• High Speed Range Axle Ratio • Vehicle Speed Calibration
• Low Speed Range Axle Ratio • Vehicle Speed Limit
• Multi-Torque Ratio • VSL Protection
• Soft Vehicle Speed Limit • Idle Shutdown Ignore Neutral Switch
Factory Passwords are required to change a parameter from “locked” to “unlocked”. Only one set of Factory
Passwords is required to unlock one or all locked parameters. If the Parameter Lockout screen is exited before
unlocking all parameters, a second set of Factory Passwords will be required to unlock the remaining parameters.
29.3 Selected Engine Rating
29.3.1 Rating Number
Rating number within a power family. The Personality Module defines the power family such as 448 kW (600 hp)
and may contain only one or several ratings. The rating number defines which rating is used within the family.
Alternatives Default VEPS PID

Power Family Dependent Highest Setting Available 56

29.3.2 Multi-Torque Ratio

The Multi-Torque Ratio is available on selected ratings only. This parameter is used to select the desired
Multi-Torque trip point. Multi-Torque ratings allow the engine to provide additional torque or additional horsepower
and torque when the transmission is operating in higher gears. The additional torque allows the truck to crest a hill
without downshifting, increases fuel economy, and reduce wear. The trip point is determined by a ratio of engine
speed versus vehicle speed. The three programmable options represent the different trip point values listed below:
MT-C ...turn on ratio is 38 rpm/mph & below (Top 4 Gears)
MT-B ...turn on ratio is 33 rpm/mph & below (Top 2 Gears)
MT-A ...turn on ratio is 27.9 rpm/mph & below (Top 1 Gear)
Note: This feature is not used with standard engine ratings, it is only available for Multi-Torque ratings.

29.3.3 Aftertreatment Configuration Number

This parameter is used to identify the correct Caterpillar Regeneration System Configuration for each engine
arrangement. The Aftertreatment Configuration Number defines the hardware installed to the Caterpillar
Regeneration System. The Aftertreatment Configuration Number is a seven digit part number programmed from
the factory. Failing to program the Aftertreatment Configuration Number parameter will result in a “253-2 Check
Customer and System Parameters” fault, the engine will then be limited to low idle. Incorrect programming could
result in poor engine performance or damage to the Caterpillar Regeneration System.

Power Family Dependent Programmed from Factory FEDD
29.4 ECM Identification Parameters

29.4.1 Vehicle ID
Identification of the vehicle assigned by the OEM or customer and used only for customer reference. Not required
by the ECM. Up to seventeen alpha – numeric characters can be entered.

17 digits. Available characters All zero’s 60
are Service Tool Dependent
29.4.2 Vehicle Application Type

This parameter determines whether the vehicle is an Emergency Vehicle.
The Vehicle Application Type parameter determines the maximum horsepower derate the Engine and/or
Aftertreatment Monitoring System can achieve.
The Engine Monitoring and Aftertreatment Monitoring System must be programmed to Derate, Shutdown,
or *Warning (rating dependent).
During a diagnostic condition (Low Coolant Level, High Coolant Temperature, Low Oil Pressure, Excessive Soot
Loading) the maximum engine derate is determined by the combination of Engine Rating, Vehicle Application
Type setting, and Engine/Aftertreatment Monitoring System programming.
The Vehicle Application Type parameter is set from the Caterpillar factory and is factory password protected.

Emergency Vehicle Other N/A
*Note: Horsepower ratings determine the available options for the Engine and Aftertreatment Monitoring Systems.
Warning option is only available on Emergency Horsepower ratings.

29.5 Security Access Parameters

29.5.1 ECM Wireless Communication Enable
This parameter is used to configure the ECM for use with a remote communications device such as a HIGHWAY
MASTER® wireless network or a QUALCOMM OmniTRAC® satellite network. Remote communications are used
to program parameters and transfer ECM data. This feature can only be enable by a Caterpillar Dealer after the
vehicle is built. Factory Level Passwords are required to enable this feature.

29.6 Vehicle Speed Parameters

29.6.1 Vehicle Speed Calibration
The ECM uses this value to scale the vehicle speed signal into kilometers per hour (miles per hour). It is
programmed in pulses per kilometer (ppkm) or pulses per mile (ppm). This parameter must be programmed
or a Diagnostic Code 253-02 Check Customer or System Parameters (56) will occur. This parameter affects
cruise control, the ECM speedometer signal, Trip Totals, and can affect PTO and Extended Idle operation.

29.6.2 Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939-Trans)

This calibration is used when the ECM is configured to calculate Vehicle Speed based on Transmission Output
Shaft Speed information received via the J1939 Data Link (Vehicle Speed Input parameter programmed to
J1939-Trans). This value represents the Transmission Output Shaft revolutions per mile. The ECM uses this value,
and the information received from the Transmission ECU via J1939 Data Link (output shaft speed) to calculate
actual vehicle speed. When the J1939 Vehicle Speed option is used (Vehicle Speed Input parameter programmed
to J1939-Trans), this parameter must be programmed or a Diagnostic Code 253-02 Check Customer Or System
Parameters (56) will occur. This parameter affects cruise control, the ECM speedometer signal, Trip Totals,
PTO operation, etc.

0 rev to km 43 000 revs per km Not programmed FCEC
(0 revs per mile) (65,000 revs per mile)
29.6.3 Vehicle Speed Cal (J1939 ABS)

This calibration is used when the ECM is configured to calculate Vehicle Speed based on ABS wheel speed
information received via the J1939 Data Link (Vehicle Speed Input parameter programmed to J1939-ABS).
The ABS manufacturer should be contacted to verify this message is supported. This value represents the ratio
to ASSUMED ABS tire revolutions per mile divided by the ACTUAL tire revolutions per mile. If the assumed tire
size matches the actual tire size, the Vehicle Speed Cal will be equal to 1. If the ABS assumed tire revolution per
mile is not correct, the Vehicle Speed Cal is equal to the ACTUAL Tire Revolutions per mile/ABS ASSUMED Tire
revolutions per mile.
ABS Assumed tire revolutions per mile = 500
Actual Tire revolutions per mile = 400
Vehicle Speed Cal = 400/500 = 0.800
NOTE: If the Vehicle Speed Input parameter is programmed to J1939-ABS, the Vehicle Speed Cal parameter
must be programmed or a Diagnostic Code 253-02 “Check Customer Or System Parameters” (56) will occur.
This parameter affects cruise control, the ECM speedometer signal, Trip Totals, PTO operation, etc.

29.6.4 Vehicle Speed Limit (VSL)

Top vehicle speed the ECM will permit. The ECM will shut off fuel above this speed. An inexperienced driver
may think something is wrong with the engine, because the engine will not fuel above this vehicle speed limit.
Vehicle speed limiting allows implementation of a gear fast/run slow truck specification to further improve fuel
economy while limiting top vehicle speed.
NOTE: The Driver Incentive Feature can be used to automatically adjust the VSL according to the drivers
operating habits.

(30 mph) (127 mph) (75 mph)
29.6.5 VSL Protection

Maximum engine rpm when there is an ECM detected vehicle speed signal problem. The ECM limits to this engine
rpm when it senses no vehicle speed signal, and the engine is loaded. This is a feature to deter tampering by
running without a Vehicle Speed input to the ECM.
NOTE: When this parameter is programmed to TEL rpm, diagnostic codes 84-01 Loss Of Vehicle Speed Signal
(31) and 84-10 Vehicle Speed Rate of Change (36) are disabled, and the VSL Protection can be exceeded by
disconnecting the Vehicle Speed Sensor.

1,000 rpm TEL rpm 1700 pm 66
29.6.6 Tachometer Calibration

The ECM uses this value to scale the engine speed signal into revolutions per minute for a tachometer. It is
programmed in pulses per revolution (ppr). Programmable range is from 2.0 to 500.0 in 0.1 ppr increments.

2.0 ppr 500.00 ppr 134.0 ppr C7
29.6.7 Soft Vehicle Speed Limit

This limit operates in conjunction with the Vehicle Speed Limit. It limits the vehicle speed from 4 km/h (2.5 mph)
below the programmed Vehicle Speed Limit at full load, to 4 km/h (2.5 mph) above the selected Vehicle Speed Limit
at no load.

Yes No C2
29.6.8 Low Speed Range Axle Ratio

This parameter must be programmed when a Two-Speed Axle On/Off Switch is used by the ECM in order to
adjust the vehicle speed calibration. When a two-speed axle is used, the change in gear ratios from the high
speed range to the low speed range alters the calibration of the vehicle speed signal, which requires a calibration
adjustment to ensure the ECM driven speedometer and ECM stored information correctly reflect the actual vehicle
speed. This parameter should be programmed to the low speed range axle ratio. This parameter only requires
programming when the Two-Speed Axle Switch parameter is enabled by programming the Two Speed Axle Switch
input parameter to a Pin input or one of the J1939 sources.

1.00 19.99 1.00 FC5E
29.6.9 High Speed Range Axle Ratio

This parameter must be programmed when a Two-Speed Axle On/Off Switch is used by the ECM in order to
adjust the vehicle speed calibration. When a two-speed axle is used, the change in gear ratios from the high
speed range to the low speed range alters the calibration of the vehicle speed signal, which requires a calibration
adjustment to ensure the ECM driven speedometer and ECM stored information correctly reflect the actual vehicle
speed. This parameter should be programmed to the high speed range axle ratio. This parameter only requires
programming when the Two-Speed Axle Switch parameter is enabled by programming the Two Speed Axle Switch
input parameter to a Pin input or one of the J1939 sources.

29.7 Cruise Control Parameters

29.7.1 Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit
The lowest vehicle speed at which cruise control can be used. Programming this parameter to the maximum value
disables cruise control.
Note: With Adaptive Cruise Control programmed to Enabled, the lowest speed the Low Cruise Speed Set Limit can
be programmed to is 30 mph.

24 km/h 204 km/h 48 km/h 63
(15 mph) (127 mph) (30 mph)
29.7.2 High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit

The highest vehicle speed at which cruise control can be set. If a driver attempts to set a vehicle speed higher than
this limit, the High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit will be the cruise set speed. If the High Cruise Control Speed Set
Limit is programmed to a value greater than the Vehicle Speed Limit, the Cruise Switches can be used to exceed
the programmed Vehicle Speed Limit.

48 km/h 204 km/h 121 km/h 62
(30 mph) (127 mph) (75 mph)
29.7.3 Engine Retarder Mode

Determines operation of the Engine Retarder and Auxiliary Brake Output while the cruise control On/Off switch
is in the ON position, but the engine is not in cruise control. This feature does not determine, or allow engine
retarder operation while the engine is in cruise control.
Allowable options are Coast, Latch or Manual. When programmed to Coast, the retarder is enabled only while the
service brakes are being applied. When programmed to Latch, the retarder stays enabled after the service brakes
are released and it will remain on until the accelerator pedal is depressed.

29.7.4 Engine Retarder Minimum VSL Type

Provides two options, a Hard Limit and Soft Limit for the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed option.
If programmed to Hard Limit, below the programmed Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed the ECM disables
the Retarder. The Soft Limit option allows the Engine Retarder to initiate activation above the programmed Engine
Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed Limit (just like Hard Limit), but allows Retarder operation to continue below the
programmed minimum Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed Limit. The Soft Limit will not allow the Engine
Retarder to initiate operation below the Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed Limit.
The following diagram illustrates Engine Retarder operation for both Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed
Limit Type options. Engine Retarder parameter is programmed to MANUAL and Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle
Speed parameter is programmed to 30 mph.

Soft Limit Hard Limit FC3C
29.7.5 Engine Retarder Minimum Vehicle Speed

Determines the minimum vehicle speed limit for the engine retarder(s) to turn ON or remain ON. Below this vehicle
speed the ECM will not turn ON the retarder unless the vehicle is stationary (vehicle speed = 0). If the vehicle is
not moving, or if vehicle speed is 0 mph (because of a lost vehicle speed signal) the retarder can still operate.
If programmed to zero the Retarder will operate at all vehicle speeds. This parameter Engine Retarder operation.

29.7.6 Auto Retarder in Cruise

The Auto Retarder in Cruise feature is used to turn ON the retarder to help maintain the cruise control set speed.
The retarder will turn ON when the vehicle speed is equal to or is more than the programmed value above the
cruise set speed. Programming the parameter to zero disables this feature. Actual braking level is limited by the
retarder switch settings. The retarder will not come ON if the retarder is switched OFF.
The Medium and High braking levels will come ON at the programmed Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment above
the programmed Auto Retarder in Cruise value.
If Soft Cruise Control is programmed to YES, the retarder will not come ON until the vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3 mph)
above the cruise set speed. An Electronic Service Tool will change an attempt to program 2 or 3 km/h (1 or 2 mph)
for this parameter to 5 km/h (3 mph) if Soft Cruise is programmed to YES.

(0 mph) (10 mph) (0 mph)
29.7.7 Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment

Requires the Auto Retarder in Cruise parameter programmed above 0 (0=OFF). Auto Retarder in Cruise Increment
determines the vehicle speed increment when the Medium and High Engine Retarder levels will activate.
Programming the parameter to zero will allow the retarder to come ON in the High mode when the programmed
Auto Retarder in Cruise speed (above the cruise set speed) is reached.
This parameter applies while the engine is in cruise control. Actual braking level is limited by the retarder switch
settings. For example, the retarder will not come ON if the retarder is switched OFF.

29.8 Idle Parameters

29.8.1 Idle Vehicle Speed Limit
Maximum vehicle speed for setting or maintaining a set engine rpm in idle mode. Idle mode is entered if the engine
rpm is set using the cruise control On/Off switch along with Set/Resume. If the vehicle speed signal exceeds this
value, the engine will not maintain the set engine rpm.
Programmable range is based on transmission style programming.

29.8.2 Idle RPM Limit

Maximum engine rpm in idle mode. Idle mode occurs if the engine rpm is set using the cruise control On/Off switch
and the Set/Resume switch. The actual high limit of this parameter is determined by the programmed Top Engine
Limit. The lower limit is determined by the programmed Low Idle Engine RPM.
Programming this parameter to 600 rpm will prevent the engine from idling at a constant rpm above the
programmed Low Idle rpm.

600 rpm TEL rpm TEL rpm 65
29.8.3 Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate

This parameter determines engine rpm rate of increase/decrease. This parameter determines Accel, Decel, and
Resume Idle or PTO Engine rpm rates of increase/decrease. The parameter can be set to a value between 5 rpm
and 1,000 rpm inclusively in one rpm increments.
NOTE: The parameter applies to both idle control (rpm set using cruise control On/Off switch and Set/Resume) and
PTO control (rpm set using PTO On/Off switch and Set/Resume).

5 rpm/sec 1,000 rpm/sec 50 rpm/sec C4
29.8.4 Idle/PTO Bump RPM

Determines the rpm increment/decrement when the Accel/Decel switches are briefly toggled. It also applies to both
dedicated PTO and idle. If a PTO Engine RPM Set Speed has been programmed the Idle/PTO Bump RPM applies
only to engine rpm control initiated using the Cruise Control On/Off circuit not the PTO On/Off circuit.

5 rpm 500 rpm 20 rpm F1
29.8.5 Fast Idle RPM #1

Fast Idle RPM #1 determines the preset Fast Idle engine rpm as controlled using the Fast Idle Enable Switch.
The operator can override this rpm. To override, depress the accelerator pedal until the desired rpm is reached,
and then depress the Fast Idle Enable Switch. This rpm will be the Fast Idle RPM #1 as long as the ECM is
powered up. This feature requires a momentary on/off switch input programmed and connected to the programmed
setting. The Fast Idle Lamp also requires a lamp to be programmed and connected to the programmed setting.

600 rpm TEL rpm 1,000 rpm C6
29.8.6 Fast Idle RPM #2

Fast Idle RPM #2 determines a second preset Fast Idle engine rpm as controlled using the Fast Idle Enable Switch.
This rpm cannot be overridden within its programmable range by the operator. The ECM will increase from the
programmed low Idle to Fast Idle RPM #1 the first time the Fast Idle Enable switch is depressed and released, and
then increase rpm to Fast Idle RPM #2 after the Fast Idle Enable switches depressed and released the second
time. If the Fast Idle Enable switch is depressed and released a third time, the ECM returns to Low Idle, disabling
the Fast Idle. The default of O rpm disables this feature. This feature requires a momentary on/off switch input
programmed and connected to the programmed setting. The Fast Idle Lamp also requires a lamp to
be programmed and connected to the programmed setting.

600 rpm TEL rpm 0 rpm (off) FC42
29.8.7 Warm Up Mode Idle Speed

Determines the engine rpm while in warm up mode. The Warm Up Mode Idle Speed can be programmed between
600 rpm and 1,400 rpm. The Warm Up Mode Idle Speed is activated if the sum of the Coolant and Inlet Manifold Air
Temperature is less that 86° F (30° C). The Warm Up Idle Speed can be disabled by depressing the service brake,
clutch, or by placing the transmission in gear from neutral (Transmission Style and Transmission Neutral switch
programming dependent).

600 rpm 1,400 rpm 0 rpm (off) FE08
29.9 Dedicated PTO Parameters

29.9.1 PTO Configuration
Determines the features available and inputs used for Dedicated PTO applications. OFF (default) indicates the
application does not use PTO. The remaining PTO programmable options require this parameter to be programmed
to other than Off. A PTO On/Off circuit programmed and connected to a J1/P1 option or a J1939 based message is
required to enable PTO mode. A PTO Switch On lamp may be connected.
When programmed to Cab Switches the ECM will use the Cab Cruise Control Set and Resume switch inputs for
PTO control.
When programmed to Remote Switches the ECM will monitor the Remote Set and Remote Resume inputs. Inputs
from the cab controls (brake, clutch, accelerator, cruise switches) will be ignored when the PTO On/Off circuit is ON.
When programmed to Remote Throttle, the ECM will monitor J1/P1, terminal-68 for the remote accelerator pedal.
The ECM will monitor the Remote Set and Remote Resume inputs and ignore all cab controls when the PTO
On/Off circuit is ON
When programmed to Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command, the ECM will monitor J1/P1, terminal-68 for the
remote accelerator pedal. The ECM will monitor the Remote Set and Remote Resume inputs. The ECM will monitor
the J1939 TSC1 Speed Command Message for engine speed control override. The ECM will ignore all cab controls
when the PTO On/Off circuit is ON.
NOTE: The PTO On/Off Switch will default to J1:56. If J1:56 is used for another switch input the PTO On/Off
switch can be moved to another pin location. Please see Chapter 32 for a complete list of parameters and available
pin options.

29.9.2 PTO Top Engine Limit

The PTO Top Engine Limit parameter allows the engine’s top RPM to be limited to the programmed value.
The engine will be limited to this value only while PTO mode is active.
NOTE: PTO Configuration must be programmed to Cab Switches, Remote Switches, Remote Throttle, or Remote
Throttle & J1939 Speed Command before this parameter can be programmed.

600 rpm TEL rpm TEL rpm F0
29.9.3 PTO Engine RPM Set Speed

The PTO Top Engine Set Speed is an engine speed between Low Idle and the programmed PTO Top Engine Limit.
The engine will ramp to this speed when the Set switch is toggled. The engine will ramp to this speed automatically
when PTO is engaged and the PTO TO Set Speed parameter is programmed to “Yes”.
PTO Engine RPM Set Speed Input A & B Switches will override this engine speed.
NOTE: PTO Configuration must be programmed to Cab Switches or Remote Switches for this parameter to function.
This feature is not available for the Remote Throttle, or Remote Throttle & J1939 Speed Command configurations.

29.10 Engine/Gear Parameters

To promote progressive shifting and obtain the best fuel economy, the control system can be programmed to limit
engine speed for certain vehicle speed ranges. Each gear Engine RPM and Vehicle Speed parameter set should
be matched for the specific drive train for best performance.
29.10.1 Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit
The engine will accelerate at a slower rate when this limit is exceeded under normal driving conditions. This is to
encourage the driver to shift to the next highest gear. This parameter should remain at the factory default value
when using an Automatic transmission, with the exception of the Eaton Top 2.

1,100 rpm TEL rpm TEL rpm 6C
29.10.2 Lower Gears Turn Off Speed

Vehicle Speed where “Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit” is shut off. This must be matched with “Lower Gears Engine

29.10.8 Transmission Style

Indicates to the ECM the type of transmission configuration installed in the vehicle.
When programmed to Automatic or Manual, the ECM will look at the Clutch, Brake #1, Brake #2, Transmission
Neutral, and Parking Brake switch input programming to determine engine operation. These switch inputs effect
Cruise Control, Elevated Idle, Fast Idle, PTO, and CRS operation.
The Eaton Top 2 transmission is a manual transmission and requires a clutch switch. The ECM operates two
outputs to control shifting between the top two gears of an Eaton Top 2 transmission. A total of six parameters
must be programmed for the system to operate correctly. The shift solenoid and lockout solenoid will need to be
programmed to the desired pin location on the engine ECM. Chapter 32 has more details on available pin locations.
NOTE: Default values for brake switch #1 (J1:45), brake switch #2 (None), clutch switch (J1: 22), transmission
neutral switch (None), and Parking Brake (None) are default values. With the Caterpillar Multiple Input/Output
selection software it is possible to program these switch inputs to another hard wired pin option or a J1939 source.
These parameters are lockable through VEPS and the Caterpillar Electronic Technician service tool. Operation of
these switches should be verified if changes are made to ensure the chassis will function properly. Failure to do so
could result in undesired engine/chassis operation.
NOTE: Brake switch #2 and the Transmission Neutral switch defaults are not programmed. If one or both of
these switch inputs are required, the OEM can program these inputs through VEPS or the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician Service Tool.

If this parameter is programmed to YES the Cruise Control On/Off switch can be used to disable Top 2 mode.
Turning the Cruise Control On/Off switch to the OFF position when the transmission is not in Top 2 mode will
disable Top 2 mode (manual operation only). Turning the Cruise Control On/Off Switch to the ON position will
enable the Top 2 mode and allow for automatic shifting in the Top 2 gears. When operating in one of the Top 2
gears and Top 2 mode is enabled, switching the Cruise Control On/Off switch to the OFF position will place the
transmission in Hold mode (will not shift out of currently selected gear). Returning the switch to the ON position
will return to Top 2 mode. Depressing the Clutch while in Hold mode will result in Manual mode (Top 2 disabled).
This feature will be Unavailable if the Transmission Style is not programmed to Eaton Top 2.

29.17 Trip Parameters

29.17.1 Fuel Correction Factor
The fuel correction factor is available to fine tune all fuel data stored in the future by the ECM. Caterpillar
recommends this factor be changed only after a significant operating interval with a comparison of actual tank
fuel economy compared to ECM recorded fuel economy. The operating interval should also reflect a typical route.
The Factor is a percentage, programmable in 0.5 percent increments.

–63.5 +63.5 0 D5
• Calculating Fuel Correction Factor

The following formula should be used to determine the new Fuel Correction Factor (NEW FCF).
Where OLD FCF is the Fuel Correction Factor currently in ECM, TANK is the actual fuel economy, and ECM is the
fuel economy indicated in the ECM Trip Data.
Example
The Actual TANK fuel economy is determined to be 7.1 mpg, but the ECM Trip Data economy is 7.0 mpg over the
same distance with an OLD FCF of –2.5.
The following parameters (Change Fuel Correction Factor, PM1 Reset, and Fleet Trip Reset) establish security
access for the Caterpillar Messenger display. These parameters require a Caterpillar Messenger display
for access.
29.17.2 Dash – Change Fuel Correction Factor

29.17.5 Dash – State Selection

Program to NO to disable changing the state with Messenger. When programmed to No, Messenger will not
show state selection as an option to the driver. If programmed to Yes (default) Messenger will provide the State
Selection feature.
Programming this parameter to NO eliminates state crossing selection and therefore storage of State tagged
trip data.

No Yes E0 D = No
Yes
29.17.6 Theft Deterrent System Control

This feature can prevent the engine from starting or prevent vehicle use until the correct password has been
entered via Messenger. A Theft Deterrent Password must be programmed to use this feature.
If programmed to the YES option, the operator must first enter the password before the engine shuts off in order
to enable the system, this will prevent the engine from starting without reentering the password on the next
attempted start.
If programmed to the Auto-Enable option, the system will automatically enable each time the engine is shut down.
The operator must then enter the password in order to start the engine.
The Secure Idle mode can be entered by bringing the engine to an idle condition and entering the password.
If the engine is not shut down, it will only run at low idle until the password is reentered.

29.17.8 Quick Stop Rate

Determines the rate of vehicle speed change the ECM uses to record a Quick Stop Event Code and Quick Stop
Snapshot. Programmable from 0 – 24 km/h/s (0 – 15 mph/s) (0 = OFF). Each Quick Stop Snapshot contains
60 frames of information; frame 45 is the Quick Stop occurrence, 44 frames before, 15 frames following the code.
Each frame is separated by 1.0 second.
ECM Snapshot Frame Data
Engine RPM Vehicle Speed

Throttle Position Cruise Status
The most recent Quick Stop Snapshot is stored in the ECM memory. Each time another Quick Stop occurs the
ECM replaces the old Snapshot with the new one. The ECM also logs a diagnostic event code (maximum of
255 occurrences stored) for each Quick Stop Occurrence.

5 – 24 km/h/s 16 km/h/s FC0C
(3 – 15 mph/s) (10 mph/s)
NOTE: The allowable range is from 0 – 24 km/h/s (0 – 15 mph/s) (0 = OFF) but the recommended range is
from 5 – 24 km/h/s (3-15 mph/s). Programming the Quick Stop Rate too low will cause an excessive number
of Quick Stop Event Codes. If too many Quick Stop Event Codes are being logged, the Quick Stop Rate should
be increased to better detect the exceptions when they occur.
29.17.9 Vehicle Overspeed Threshold
The Vehicle Overspeed Threshold may be programmed to generate a Vehicle Overspeed Warning event (84-00)
when the vehicle speed exceeds this value. Caterpillar recommends that this value be set above the Vehicle Speed
Limit (VSL) including the 2.5 mph above VSL, when the Soft Vehicle Speed Limit parameter is programmed to “Yes”
and any Driver Reward values. This parameter may be “Locked”.

29.19 Driver Reward

29.19.1 Driver Reward Enable
Driver Reward is a feature that allows a truck owner to place weighting factors on desired operating habits. If the
vehicle is operated in a manner that meets the owner’s specifications, the maximum vehicle speed limit can be
automatically increased to a specified value as a reward to the driver. The Driver Reward Enable parameter
provides a means to Disable and Lockout the Driver Reward feature using an Electronic Service Tool, for those
areas with regulations that require a fixed maximum Vehicle Speed Limit.

29.22.1 Engine Running Output (programmed to High Side Driver)
The Engine Running Output parameter can be programmed to one of the Hard Wired options. The Engine Running
Output feature is used to prevent starter engagement while the engine is running. The Engine Running Output
comes ON when the engine is running and turns OFF when the engine rpm = 0. The relay is normally closed
so cranking can be achieved immediately at power up. During cranking, the ECM energizes the Engine Running
Output once engine low idle rpm has been achieved. The relay is de-energized if engine speed falls 100 RPM
below the programmed low idle (600-750 rpm is low idle range).

VEPS Programming
29.27 VEPS Programming

Caterpillar provides a Vendor Control Program (VCP) called VEPS (Vehicle Electronic Programming Station).
This VCP allows OEMs to program the Customer Configurable Parameters to specific values or within allowable
ranges specified in the ECM Software.
Correct operation of the VEPS program is dependent upon the order parameters are programmed. With the
Caterpillar Multi I/O System all parameters are available over a wider range of ECM terminal locations or
J1939 options. The ECM Software will not allow two or more parameters to be programmed to the same
pin option. See examples below.
Example #1:
Unsuccessful VEPS programming
S,MDLX,07C15
P,FD09,B,J1:6, Torque Limit Switch
P,FD0D,B,J1:6, PTO On/Off Switch
OR
Example #2: VEPS Failure
Unsuccessful VEPS programming
S,MDLX,07C15
P,FDA3,B,J1:29, High Coolant Temperature Lamp
P,FDA5,B, None, Red Stop Lamp
In Example #1 the ECM software will not allow 2 or more parameters to be programmed to the same pin options.
The VEPS program will fail due to the response from the ECM.
In Example #2 the order in which parameters are programmed is now important. In Example #2 the Red Stop Lamp
default is J1: 29. In the parameter file in Example #2 the High Coolant Temperature is programmed to J1:29 before
the Red Stop Lamp is programmed to None. This will cause the VEPS program to fail due to the response received
from the ECM.
The examples above will cause the VEPS program to fail. Results will be logged in the verification file.
Example #3:
Successful VEPS programming
S,MDLX,07C15
P,FDA3,B,J1:29, High Coolant Temperature Lamp
In Example #3 the VEPS program is successful. The default for the Red Stop Lamp is J1:29. The default for the
High Coolant Temperature Lamp is None. Programming the Red Stop Lamp to None and then programming the
High Coolant Temperature Lamp to J1:29 is the correct order to program this example.
VEPS and Source Addresses
The Caterpillar Multi I/O System has introduced new PIDs for Caterpillar Engines equipped with the Caterpillar
Regeneration System. Certain parameters use two or more switches to control certain functions. For example,
the cruise set and cruise resume switches are 2 separate switches that work together for overall cruise control
performance. The ECM software must see that both the cruise set and cruise resume switches are programmed
to the same type of ECM input.
For example, the cruise set and cruise resume switch both can be programmed to a hard wired switch to sensor
common input or to a J1939 source. Failure to program to the same type of switch input will cause a Check
Customer or Systems Parameter fault, 253-2 fault, to go active, the check engine light will turn on, and the engine
will be limited to low idle.
Certain parameters can also not be changed while the engine ECM sees vehicle speed or engine speed. On the
next page, tables listing what parameters, if programmed to different types of switch inputs, will cause a Check
Customer or Systems Parameters 253-2 fault and cannot be programmed with vehicle or engine speed present.

29.27.1 VEPS and Passwords

When a Re-VEPS operation is necessary, modified customer passwords will need to be entered at the beginning
of the parameter file. The Customer Password PIDs of $FEA5 and $FEA6 can be ten characters in length but
the writing of the passwords to allow a Re-VEPS operation can only be 8 characters in length. Use the first eight
characters of PID FEA5 for PID 43 (Password #1) and use the first eight characters of PID FEA6 for PID 44
(Password #2).

The above example will pass the VEPS station but the transmission will not shift properly because the
Lockout and Shift solenoids were not programmed to a value.
29.27.4 Parameter Lockout
VEPS is capable of locking out parameters so they are no longer programmable. Once locked, factory passwords
must be generated in order to change the parameter to a different value. Factory Passwords can be obtained by
contacting Caterpillar.
When locking parameters, each parameter must be identified in order to be locked.
The locking PID is $FC06.
Example: Locking the Fan Control Type and Coolant Level Sensor
S,MDLX,07C13,
P,FC18,B, On/Off DC, (Fan Control Type set to On/Off DC)
P,7E,B, 2-wire float, (Coolant Level Sensor Programmed)
P,FC06,B,FC18, (Fan Control Type Locked)

*Note: Once a parameter has been locked using VEPS, Factory Passwords must be obtained from
Caterpillar to unlock or change the parameter.
29.27.5 VEPS and ECM Programming Dependencies
The order in which parameters are programmed is crucial to the correct operation of the VEPS program.
Some parameters are dependent on other parameters being set first.
The following tables outline various features available for programming and the order in which these parameters
should be programmed.

30.0 Caterpillar Regeneration System

30.1 Overview
The Caterpillar Regeneration System (CRS) is comprised of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), the Aftertreatment
Regeneration Device (ARD), and engine Electronic Control Module (ECM).
The CRS works to reduce particulate emissions. The generation of particulates (soot) is a normal process during
engine operation. The DPF (located in the exhaust system) collects the soot. During a process called Regeneration,
the DPF converts the soot into gas.
The ECM monitors the engine operating conditions to determine when regeneration is needed.
The temperature inside the DPF must be high enough to allow regeneration to occur. Under certain operating
conditions, the ARD is utilized to increase exhaust temperature so regeneration can occur.
Caterpillar recommends installation of Diesel Particulate Filter, and High Exhaust System Temperature (HEST) Lamps,
on all chassis. The DPF Lamp and HEST Lamps are programmable using the Caterpillar Service Tool or VEPS.
Caterpillar offers optional switch inputs to Disable or Force regeneration of the DPF. The Disable and Force
switches are programmable using the Caterpillar Service Tool or VEPS.
The Caterpillar Regeneration System is designed to operate without intervention from the driver.
30.2 Regeneration Modes
There are two types of regeneration:
1. Passive Regeneration – The engine’s duty cycle provides sufficient exhaust temperature for regeneration
to occur.
2. Active Regeneration – The engine’s duty cycle does not provide sufficient exhaust temperature for passive
regeneration to occur. The ARD operates in order to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas.
30.3 Dash Lamps
The DPF Lamp indicates the level of soot in the DPF. The lamp provides the following indications:
1. OFF: The CRS is functioning properly. No driver intervention is needed. The CRS operates when necessary.
2. ON SOLID: Level 1 soot level has been reached. Active Regeneration is required.
3. FLASHING: Level 2 (or higher) soot level has been reached. Active Regeneration is required.
NOTE: Once Level 4 is reached and regeneration of the DPF is not initiated, the DPF Lamp may be turned off
indicating a transient and/or forced stationary regeneration cannot be performed. Regeneration may only be
performed by a licensed Caterpillar Dealer using the Caterpillar Service Tool.

30.5.1 Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Disable Switch
This switch disables the ARD. If active regeneration is in process, the regeneration is immediately aborted.
Activating the switch also prevents pending or future regenerations. Caterpillar recommends a normally open (off)
switch. The default for the ARD Disable Switch is “NONE”.

30.5.1.2 Disabling an Active Regeneration
The Regeneration process can be prevented or aborted if the vehicle’s operation or environment requires that
regeneration NOT occur. Regeneration should be disabled (ARD Disable Switch) for short periods of time only.
Regeneration must be allowed; to prevent the engine’s performance from being degraded or prevent possible
engine shutdown (programming dependent).
Disabling regeneration for extended periods of time will result in the Engine and Aftertreatment Monitoring Lamps
to illuminate.
Active diagnostic codes of 3703-31 DPF Active Regeneration Inhibited, 3719-16 Particulate Trap Soot Load
Percent: High – Moderate Severity, and 3719-0 Particulate Trap Soot Load Percent: High – Most Severe, become
active at higher soot levels.
The engine is derated as soot level (level 3 or higher) increases. Engine shutdown may occur (programming
dependent). Engine and Aftertreatment Monitoring system response is covered in Chapter 3: Engine/Aftertreatment
Monitoring.
30.5.2 Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Force Switch
This switch triggers stationary active regeneration. The ARD Force Switch is optional. If used, Caterpillar requires
this to be a normally open, (off) momentary switch. The default for the ARD Force Switch is “None”.
30.5.2.1 Stationary Forced Regeneration Operation

The ARD Force Switch only initiates regeneration when the vehicle is stationary and the DPF Lamp is illuminated.
Caterpillar requires the DPF Lamp to be installed in a location easily visible by the operator when using the
ARD Force Switch.
The ARD Force switch must be held in the ON (closed) position for 2 seconds, and then released. Once the Force
Switch is released the CRS performs a thirty second-system check. During the system check the engine speed
ramps to 1,400 rpm at 50 rpm/s.
During stationary forced regeneration the engine maintains 1,400 rpm to provide optimal ARD performance.
If an ECM controlled fan is installed, the fan remains full on during stationary forced regeneration.

*Note: OEM operation of the ARD Force Switch over the J1939 Data Link may vary. For operation of the
ARD Force switch, over the J1939 Data Link, consult the OEM.
*Note: Emergency Vehicle ratings do not require the DPF lamp to be illuminated to initiate a Forced/Stationary
regeneration.
30.5.3 Regeneration in PTO Mode
Caterpillar does not allow regeneration, in PTO mode, unless specifically selected by the customer.
To allow regeneration in PTO Mode, the customer must select the programmable parameter, Aftertreatment
Regeneration Device PTO Mode Stationary Regeneration. The default value is set to “Disabled”. To allow
regeneration in PTO mode, this parameter must be programmed to “Enabled”.

When “Enabled”, only forced/stationary regeneration can be performed. The ARD Force switch, and PTO On/
Off switch must be installed and programmed for regeneration to occur. Regeneration will only occur if current
engine speed is between 1,000 – 1,850 rpm when the PTO On/Off switch is in the On position, and regeneration
requirements have been met.
The engine fan is full ON, if an ECM controlled fan is installed. Forced/stationary regeneration can only be
performed if the PTO On/Off switch is in the ON position (closed), and the ARD Force Switch is held ON (closed)
for 2 seconds, then released (open).
Note: If a PTO Engine Set speed is not established, the CRS will perform regeneration at the current engine speed.
Regeneration times vary based on the current engine speed at which regeneration is performed.
30.5.3.1 Regeneration in PTO Mode with Set Speeds.
Regeneration in PTO Mode can be performed at various engine set speeds between Low Idle and Top Engine
Limit. If a PTO set speed is set, regeneration occurs at the PTO set speed currently selected.
Regeneration times vary based on engine speed and temperature conditions.
OEM provided and installed components required
1) ARD Force Switch
2) PTO On/Off Switch
Customer Parameter programming required
1) PTO Configuration programmed to Cab Switches, Remote Switches, Remote Throttle, or Remote Throttle
and J1939 Speed Command.
2) PTO On/Off switch programmed to J1/P1: ECM terminal.
3) ARD Force Switch programmed to J1/P1: ECM terminal.
4) Aftertreatment Regeneration Device PTO Mode Stationary Regeneration Enable Status set to “Enabled”.
*NOTE: Caterpillar allows one time free programming of the Aftertreatment Regeneration Device PTO Mode
Stationary Regeneration Enable Status parameter using the VEPS program. Any additional programming using
VEPS or the Caterpillar Service Tool l requires factory passwords from Caterpillar.
30.5.3.2 Driveline PTO Mode and CRS Operation
Certain applications, such as Fire Truck, use driveline PTO during PTO operation. The transmission is in gear
and may provide a vehicle speed signal to the ECM.
The CRS requires the transmission be in neutral, and the ECM must zero vehicle speed to initiate Forced/Stationary
Regeneration during PTO mode operation. With driveline PTO applications, the ECM ignores the transmission
neutral switch and vehicle speed signals if the ECM is programmed to receive a Parking Brake signal either
hardwired directly to the ECM or receive the parking brake status over the J1939 data link.
Forced/Stationary Regeneration can be performed if the vehicle is in PTO mode, transmission is in gear, vehicle
speed is present, and the Parking Brake input indicates the vehicle is in a parked position. Caterpillar Dedicated
PTO must be programmed. A PTO On/Off switch must also be programmed correctly in the ECM.
1. PTO On/Off Switch connection to J1/P1: input or J1939 Device
2. Parking Brake Switch connection to J1/P1: input or J1939 Device
Customer Parameter Programming required:
1. Aftertreatment Regeneration Device PTO Mode Stationary Regeneration parameter set to Enabled.
2. PTO Configuration set to Cab Switches, Remote Switches, Remote Throttle, or Remote Throttle and
J1939 Speed Command.
3. PTO On/Off Switch set to J1/P1: input or J1939 Device.

4. Parking Brake Switch set to J1/P1: input or J1939 Device.
Additional regeneration requirements are listed in section 30.6 of this guide.
30.6 Stationary Regeneration Requirements
The following list details operating conditions that must be met in order for a regeneration to occur using the
ARD Force Switch.
1. Level 1 or higher regeneration achieved (DPF Lamp On Solid or Flashing)
2. Throttle Position less that 7%
3. ARD Force Switch (Off/On/Off switch transition)
4. Zero vehicle speed

30.9 Level 4 Regeneration
30.9.1 Aftertreatment Monitoring set to Shutdown
The engine will shut down when Level 4 regeneration is achieved (pre-shutdown), if the Aftertreatment Monitoring
System is programmed to “Shutdown”. The engine can be restarted and continue to operate in a derated condition.
Regeneration can still be initiated during this time.
If regeneration is not initiated, and the engine continues to operate, soot levels will continue to increase. If the
CRS determines soot levels are too high for mobile or stationary forced regeneration, the engine will shut down.
The engine can be restarted, but will only run for 60 second intervals before engine shutdown occurs. During this
mode of operation, regeneration is locked out. Regeneration can only be initiated by licensed Caterpillar Dealers,
using the Caterpillar Service Tool.
If regeneration of the DPF is not initiated, the Red Stop Lamp flashes 30 seconds prior to the engine shutdown.
30.9.2 Aftertreatment Monitoring set to *Warning or Derate.
The engine will not shut down when Level 4 regeneration is achieved, if the Aftertreatment Monitoring System is
programmed to “*Warning” or “Derate”. The engine will continue to operate in a derated condition. Regeneration can
still be initiated during this time.
If regeneration is not initiated, and the engine continues to operate, soot levels will continue to increase. If the
CRS determines soot levels are to high for mobile or stationary forced regeneration, regeneration is locked out.
No indication is given when regeneration is locked out.

Once locked out, regeneration can be initiated by licensed Caterpillar Dealers, using the Caterpillar Service Tool only.
Note: *Warning Option is available for Emergency Horsepower Ratings Only.
30.10 Enhanced Passive Plus
Enhanced Passive Plus (EPP) controls soot load, in the DPF, during long periods of stationary engine operation
at low idle.
During this process the ARD is activated and maintains elevated exhaust temperatures.
EPP operates periodically at pre-determined soot levels, during EPP operation, engine rpm is increased to
700 rpm and the engine fan (programming dependent) turns ON. The engine ramps to 700 rpm if the Low Idle
programmable parameter is set below 700 rpm.
EPP will operate during PTO Mode operation regardless of Aftertreatment Regeneration Device PTO Mode
Stationary Regeneration programming. Engine speed must be between 700 rpm and Top Engine Limit (TEL)
for EPP to operate.
The HEST Lamp is not illuminated due to the DPF Outlet Temperature being less than 450° C (842° F).

30.11 CRS Soft Shutdown
During regeneration, several factors (vehicle speed, CRS Disable switch, etc.) can cause the ARD to cease
operation, and complete regeneration of the DPF may not occur.
Soft Shutdown maintains elevated temperatures in the ARD. During this time the ARD operation is temporarily
suspended for three minutes. During the three minute time period, if operating conditions are met, the ARD
increases temperatures and continues to perform regeneration. If conditions are not met, the ARD is shutdown.
Soft Shutdown can also be triggered by the Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Soft Shutdown Input parameter.
The ARD Soft Shutdown input provides the end customer the ability to trigger Soft Shutdown at anytime during
an active regeneration.
30.12 Vehicle Speed Inhibiting Regeneration (Transient Regeneration Only)

The CRS inhibits regeneration based on vehicle speed. The following table outlines when regeneration is inhibited.
Regeneration Level Vehicle Speed Regeneration Status

Level 0 > 20 mph Active
Level 0 < 20 mph Inhibited
Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 > 5 mph Active
The CRS is designed to regenerate the DPF with little or no driver intervention. The CRS activates regeneration
during level 0 based on current soot levels in the DPF. Vehicle speed must be equal to, or greater than 32 km/h
(20 mph), for the CRS to regenerate the DPF.
When the CRS sees monitored soot levels reach level 1 (DPF lamp on solid), or higher, the vehicle speed threshold
will be lowered to 8 km/h (5 mph).
If vehicle speed falls below the trip point, the CRS system enters software shutdown for three minutes.
The HEST Lamp (if programmed) operates (soot load dependent) based on vehicle speed thresholds.
30.13 Purge Air Pump
Not Available on 2008 MY engines.
30.14 Heated Nozzle
Heated Nozzle is used to remove residual fuel from the ARD. Residual fuel left from regeneration is detrimental to
the CRS. The Heated Nozzle operates 1 hour for every 25 hours of engine operation.
30.14.1 Heated Nozzle Wiring Requirements
OEM is responsible for supplying un-switched battery connection to the Heated Nozzle from the vehicle batteries.
30.14.2 Wire Size
Caterpillar recommends using #14 AWG GXL wiring for connection to the Heated Nozzle.

Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Fan Enable Vehicle Speed Threshold

Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Fan Enable Vehicle Speed Threshold parameter defines the vehicle speed
the engine fan will be turned on if vehicle speed falls below the programmed vehicle speed and a regeneration
of the Diesel Particulate Filter is active.
Proper operation of Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Fan Enable Vehicle Speed Threshold parameter is
dependent on the engine ECM controlling the engine fan. The parameter “Fan Control Type” (FC18) must be
programmed to the correct value for proper operation.
Programming this value to 0 mph will disable this feature.

Aftertreatment Regeneration Device PTO Mode Stationary Regeneration Device Disable Status
The PTO Mode Stationary Regeneration Disable parameter allows the operator to decide if regeneration
of the Diesel Particulate Filter is allowed.
The default is set to Disabled. When programmed to Disabled, regeneration cannot occur.
If programmed to Enabled, a regeneration can be performed by using the CRS Force Switch.
Engine speed must be between 1,000 and 1,850 rpm to perform a stationary/forced regeneration in pto mode.
*NOTE: Factory Passwords are required to Enable this feature.

Data Link Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Disable Status

This parameter allows a technician to disable a regen from occurring for service or troubleshooting.
Diagnostic code 3714-31 Aftertreatment Regeneration Device Inhibited due to Temporary System.
This parameter should be set to “Not Disabled” if service is not being performed on the engine. Failure to properly
program this parameter to its default value can damage the Engine and CRS.

Diesel Particulate Filter #1 Serial Number

The Diesel Particulate Filter is equipped with a resistor pack inside the DPF Sensor housing. The ECM auto-detects
the installed DPF and verifies the correct DPF has been installed.
If an incorrect DPF or a DPF without a resistor pack is installed an active diagnostic code of 3936-2: Aftertreatment
Diesel Particulate Filter System Incorrect will be active. The engine will also be derated until a valid DPF is installed
or the correct DPF Serial Number is programmed using the Caterpillar Service Tool.

Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp

The DPF Lamp is recommended by Caterpillar for all engines equipped with the CRS. The DPF Lamp illuminates
prior to a regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (s). The DPF Lamp is ON solid when a regeneration of the
DPF is needed, the lamp flashes when the regeneration need increases in severity. This lamp will only come on
if vehicle speed is less than 20 mph and regeneration is needed.
Note: The DPF Lamp output is part of the Caterpillar Multi I/O System. Both High Side (2 Amp Output)
or Low Side (Sensor common) Drivers can be programmed. Failure to properly program the DPF Lamp
Output could cause undesired operation or damage to chassis components.

32.0 ECM Date/Time Clock

The ECM date & time can be programmed using an Electronic Service Tool or VEPS. The Electronic Service Tool
will display the programmed Date in Month/Day/Year format and the programmed Time in Hour:Minute:Second
format. The Electronic Service Tool has the option to program any date/time or automatically select the date/time
stored in the PC real time clock. The date and time will remain in the ECM and will not reset even if the Unswitched
Battery connections are removed.
The real time clock is used to date/time stamp the following critical event codes: 84-00 Vehicle Overspeed Warning,
190-15 Engine Overspeed Warning, 110-16 Very High Coolant Temperature, 100-1 Very Low Oil Pressure, and
111-1 Very Low Coolant Level.
32.1 Clock Accuracy
The ECM real time clock is accurate to within four minutes per month worst case. Typically the accuracy is similar
to a personal computer real time clock.
Date Time VEPS PID

Month/Day/Year Hour/Minute/Second FC1D
33.0 ECM Diagnostic Clock

The Diagnostic Clock should not be confused with the ECM Date/Time clock. The Diagnostic Clock records actual
hours that the ECM has been powered (ignition key switch ON). The diagnostic clock information is used to log
diagnostic code and event code occurrences. Logged diagnostic codes and event codes display the diagnostic
clock hour of the first and last occurrence and the total number of occurrences. The Diagnostic Clock does not
represent actual Engine Hours, it increments any time the ECM is powered regardless of whether the engine
is running or not. Actual Engine Running hours (Total Time) can be obtained from the Current Totals menu of
ET (Electronic Technician).
