The Mode Switches can be used to change the performance characteristics of the engine. The Caterpillar
Electronic Technician (ET) is used to program the characteristics. Select the "Service" drop-down menu and
then select "Engine Operating Mode Configuration". A maximum of two switches can be used. "Switch 1" is
connected to J1:39 Mode Switch 1. "Switch 2" is connected to J1:46 Mode Switch 2. The other contact on
both switches is connected to J1:35 Switch Return.

All analog throttles on mobile applications require an idle validation switch. If this parameter is programmed
to "Yes", the ECM will look for this switch input on pin J1:45 for Idle Validation Switch 1 (IVS1) and J1:44
for Idle Validation Switch 2 (IVS2).

Idle Validation Minimum Off (Open) Threshold

This is the minimum throttle percentage that will be detected by the ECM when the IVS is ON (Closed).

If the ECM detects a throttle percentage below this value with the idle validation switch OFF (Open), a fault
code will be generated and the engine will remain at idle.

Refer to Table 3 and Table 4.

Idle Validation Maximum On (Closed) Threshold

This is the maximum throttle percentage that will be detected by the ECM when the idle validation switch
(IVS) is OFF (Open). When the idle validation switch is OFF (Open) and the ECM detects a signal that is
higher than the programmed value for IVS Max ON, the ECM will generate a fault code and the engine will
remain at idle.

Refer to Table 5 and Table 6.

Lower Diagnostic Limit

This is the minimum throttle percentage that should be detected by the ECM in normal operation when the
pedal is in the "off" position. A value below this limit will generate a short circuit diagnostic code. The
range of this diagnostic detection area is from 0 percent to the programmed value for the lower position
limit.

Table 7
Range Default
0 to 100% 5%

Upper Diagnostic Limit

This is the minimum throttle percentage that is detected by the ECM in normal operation when the pedal is
in the maximum position. A value above this limit will generate an open circuit diagnostic code. The range
of this diagnostic detection area is from the programmed value of the upper position limit to 100 percent.

Range Default
0 to 100% 95%

Lower Position Limit

This is the minimum throttle percentage that will be interpreted by the ECM as zero throttle. This parameter
is used with the value of initial lower position limit to make an allowance for manufacturing tolerances
between different pedals.

Table 9
Range Default
0 to 100% 10%

Upper Position Limit

This is the maximum throttle percentage that will be interpreted by the ECM as full throttle. This parameter
is used with the value of the initial upper position limit to make an allowance for manufacturing tolerances
between different pedals.

Initial Lower Position Limit

This is the maximum throttle percentage that will be interpreted by the ECM as zero throttle. This parameter
is used with the value of the lower position limit to make an allowance for manufacturing tolerances
between different pedals.

This is the minimum throttle percentage that will be interpreted by the ECM as full throttle. This parameter
is used with the value of the upper position limit to make an allowance for manufacturing tolerances
between different pedals.

Lower Dead Zone

This is a throttle range above the initial lower position limit before the engine will increase in rpm.

0 to 100% 8%

Upper Dead Zone

This is a throttle range that is below the initial upper position limit that does not allow the engine speed to
increase.
