Programming Parameters
SMCS - 1901

Programming Parameters
The Electronic Ignition System's control module (EIS control module) and the Electronic Control
Module (ECM) have several parameters that can be programmed for the individual installation. The
Digital Diagnostic Tool (DDT) or the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) is necessary for
programming the parameters.

The parameters are grouped into the following three menus on the DDT: "CUSTOMER SPECIFIED
PARAMETERS (C.S.P.)", "TIMING" and "O2 TEST". Refer to Table 1 for the names of each
parameter.

Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control System Parameters" for the
descriptions of the parameters.

If a module is replaced, the appropriate parameters must be copied from the old module. The settings
can be recorded on paper and then programmed into the new module. Alternatively, this can be done
with the "Copy Configuration" feature of the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).

NOTICE
Changing the parameters during engine operation can cause the engine
to operate erratically. This can cause engine damage.

Unless you are otherwise instructed, only change the settings of the
parameters when the engine is STOPPED.
