Factory Passwords are required for this procedure. A. Confirm that a certified CEM is installed on the engine. Contact your local Cat dealer for a list of approved CEM configurations for your engine. B. Record the affected CEM serial number and the configuration group from the CEM Identification Plate. C. Verify that the affected CEM is a certified match with the engine.	Certified Match	Result: The affected CEM is a certified match with the engine. Proceed to Test Step 3. Result: The affected CEM is not a certified match for the engine. Repair: Remove the affected CEM and replace the affected CEM with a certified match for the engine. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly for additional information. When the new CEM is installed, the"Aftertreatment Identification Number Module" will begin communicating with the ECM and the code will be cleared. When determining if a CEM is a certified match: The engine ECM will only communicate with the CEM if the total lifetime hours of the engine are less than 100. If the hours are greater than 100, the information from the CEM identification plate must be programmed into the ECM by using Cat ET. If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 3.
