SYMPTOM
15.
Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement.
When replacing ECM, the configuration data from the old ECM needs to be copied and loaded into the
replacement ECM.
MALFUNCTION
Replacement ECM requires configuration data.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
STEP 1.
Record the configuration data.
a. Connect Cat ET to connector CDC-P7.
b. Set Battery Disconnect Switch to ON. Set DEAD CRANK SWITCH to
NORMAL. On EMCP set ENGINE CONTROL switch to COOL
DOWN/STOP.
c.
Use the Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement feature that is found under
the Service menu on Cat ET. Select Load from ECM in order to copy the
configuration data from the suspect ECM.
d. Print the parameters from the Configuration screen on Cat ET. If a printer is
unavailable, record all of the parameters. Record any logged diagnostic
codes and logged event codes for your records.
NOTE
If the Copy Configuration process fails and the parameters were not obtained in STEP 1 d, the
parameters must be obtained elsewhere. Some of the parameters are stamped on the engine
information plate. Most of the parameters must be obtained from the factory. If this condition
exists, the flash file can be loaded and the ECM will set the configuration parameters to default
settings. The configuration parameters can then be manually updated.
STEP 2.
After the ECM has been replaced (WP 0084) perform the following steps to copy
the configuration data into the replacement ECM.
NOTE
When an ECM is replaced, the system configuration parameters must be programmed into the
new ECM. A new ECM will allow these parameters to be programmed ONCE without
factory passwords. After the initial programming, some parameters are protected by factory
passwords.
a. Connect Cat ET to connector CDC-P7.
b. Set Battery Disconnect Switch to ON. Set DEAD CRANK SWITCH to
NORMAL. On EMCP set ENGINE CONTROL switch to COOL
DOWN/STOP.
c.
Flash program the flash file into the ECM. Refer to WP 0013, SYMPTOM 12.
