C-12, C-15 and C-16 Engines for Caterpillar Built Machines Caterpillar

System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions, power of the engine, and machine applications. Default values for the parameters are programmed at the factory. Some parameters may be changed by the customer in order to suit the needs of the specific application. You must reprogram the system configuration parameters if the ECM is replaced and/or you reprogram the engine rating. Proper values for these parameters are available on the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine information plate.

Note: Compare the FLS and the FTS from the ECM with the values that are listed on the Engine Information Plate. The FLS and the FTS should only be changed because of a mechanical change in the engine. The use of the wrong parameters could cause damage to the engine. The use of the wrong parameters may also void the Caterpillar warranty.
