ACTION REQUIRED

Show/hide table

Update the software on the machine.

Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) 2013B and VIMSpc 2011A or newer should be used to perform these software updates.

Note: create a full Product Status Report (PSR) and ECM replacement files for the machine before performing the updates as some configurations and settings could be erased during the software installation process. This will allow a point of reference to restore the settings of the machine after the update.

Refer to the attached Rework Procedure.

NOTE: See Images 1 through 7 below for a list of all machines that are not listed in the Affected Product section that may have Product Link installed. If any machines in question are on these 7 lists, please proceed with the update. For Non-CAT Prime Product serial numbers, please file the warranty claim using 99Z00015 as the serial number.

PARTS DISPOSITION

Handle the parts in accordance with your Warranty Bulletin on warranty parts handling.

Rework Procedure

Before going to machine:

1. Ensure you have all the applicable parts and tools need as called out in the Parts Needed for the Affected Product group before going to the machine. This will include downloading software from SIS Web.

2. Launch SIS Web and ensure that the flash file called out in the Parts Needed is the latest flash file part number. A newer flash file part number may be available.

Note: When the machine serial number is entered to retrieve the latest Product Link software from SIS WEB, it is possible that the displayed flash file may be out of date.

A list of the latest Product Link flash files, can be found at the "Service Technician's Toolbox" web page found by going to the Service Software Files search on SISweb. See Image1.1.1.

Image1.1.1

In order to download the latest Product Link software from SIS Web, enter the individual software part number in SIS Web instead of the machines serial number.

3. Ensure that the Communications Adapter has the latest firmware updates and PC drivers, and that ET is updated to the latest available version. Communications Adapter and ET news, drivers and firmware are available at "https://dealer.cat.com"

Update Procedure:

1. Before updating the software run a Product Status Report (PSR) and save the report for reference.

2. Before updating the software, save ECM replacement files for each ECM to be updated (in Cat ET: Use Service -> Copy Configuration -> ECM Replacement, click yes to load from ECM, select ECM then save to file. To do the next ECM click Load from ECM then Save to file).

Note: Failure to create ECM replacement files could result in a loss of configuration information which could require DSN assistance and create unnecessary machine downtime.

3. Update the software on the machine as called out in the Parts Needed for the Affected Product group. Refer to TMI for the appropriate Engine software for each machine.

4. Refer to Image 1.2.1 below to find the flash file to load into the Product Link ECM. Look at the "VIMS Main Module" parameters in the PSR and look at the last two letters in the "ECM Serial Number". These characters are unique to the type of Product Link device on the machine.

Image1.2.1

Note: If the machine is equipped with a PL321SR, the radio (PL121SR) must also be updated. To update the radio, make sure the Product Link ECM is selected, and access ?Subsystem Module Programming? under the Service menu as shown in Image 1.3.1. Select the correct flash file by checking the range of the DQ serial number. Please reference RENR7911 for more detailed instructions.

Image1.3.1

5. Reload the updated ECMs with their respective ECM replacement files to ensure that no configurations or calibrations are lost.

6. If the machine is equipped with a PL522 device, submit a case through the Product Link support portal to to schedule a timeslot to have the radio flashed over the air after updating the Product Link software. The machine will need to be on during the update to ensure a successful flash over the air.
