The ECM must be configured when the ECM has been replaced. The configuration screen is only for machines with a ECM. The ECM needs to be configured before a calibration can be started.
A check of the configuration screen could resolve a problem with the machine. A problem with a component could be identified as one of the following items:
- The component is not installed.
- The component is installed but a change to the installation is needed in order to correct a problem.
Follow these instructions to get to the configuration screen:
- Connect the communications adapter and the computer to the diagnostic service tool connector.
- Start the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
- Select "File". Go to "Select ECM". Choose the "VIMS ECM".
- Go to the "Service" Menu. Select "Configuration". Click "OK". Certain operations or characteristics can be changed for attachments or preferences.
