System Configuration Parameters

System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions and power of the engine
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. System
configuration parameters consist of the following values.

"Selected Engine Rating Parameters"

"ECM Identification Parameters"

"Engine/Gear Parameters"

"Maintenance Parameters"

"Security Access Parameters"

The "ECM Identification Parameters" must be programmed if the ECM is replaced and/or you
reprogram the engine rating. If a new personality module is flashed, it is not necessary to
reprogram the "ECM Identification Parameters". Proper values for these parameters are
available on the Cat ET. Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine
information plate.

Note: If the parameters that are protected with the factory passwords are changed, the
Caterpillar warranty may be voided.

12:15 ,23.8.2023 SIS 2.0

"Injector Codes" for C9, C12, C18, and C15 Engines

Note: The injector codes are not part of the "Configuration" screen on the Cat ET. "Injector
Codes Calibration" can be found under "Calibrations" in the "Service" menu on the Cat ET.

The injector code is a number that is found on each of the unit injectors. The ECM uses this
number to compensate for manufacturing variations between individual injectors. If you replace
any of the unit injectors, reprogram the code for the new injectors. Also, if you replace the ECM,
reprogram all of the injector codes.

"Rating Number"
The "Rating Number" corresponds to the selected set of performance maps for the application.
This selected set of performance maps comes out of several unique sets of maps that may be
resident in the flash file. The dealer and/or the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) will need
to select the appropriate rating tier, if more than one rating tier is present. The rating tier is A
through E.

"Equipment ID"
"Equipment ID" allows the customer to enter a description into the ECM in order to identify the
vessel. A maximum of 17 characters may be entered in the field. This parameter is only for
reference by the customer. This parameter is not required.

"Engine Serial Number"

"Engine Serial Number" should be programmed to match the engine serial number that is
stamped on the engine information plate. If the ECM is replaced, the engine serial number from
the engine information plate should be programmed into the new ECM.

Note: When you are requesting factory passwords, always use the engine serial number that is
resident in the ECM.

"FLS" (Full Load Setting)

"FLS" is a number that represents the adjustment to the fuel system that was made at the factory
in order to fine-tune the fuel system. The correct value for this parameter is stamped on the
engine information plate. Factory passwords are required.

"FTS" (Full Torque Setting)

"FTS" is similar to "FLS". Factory passwords are required.

"Low Idle Speed"

"Low Idle Speed" is the minimum allowable operating speed for the engine.

"Maximum Trolling Engine Speed"

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522formattedPublicationDate%2522%253A%25222014%252F06%252F17%2522%252C… 8/66
12:15 ,23.8.2023 SIS 2.0

The "Maximum Trolling Engine Speed" sets the high idle limit to the programmed value when the
vessel is in trolling mode. The value must be higher than the programmed "Low Idle Speed".

"Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor"

The "Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor" parameter can be set to either "Installed" or "Not
Installed".

"Transmission Oil Pressure Sensor"

The "Transmission Oil Pressure Sensor" parameter can be set to either "Installed" or "Not
Installed".

"Fuel Pressure Sensor" for 3126B, C7, and C9 Engines

The "Fuel Pressure Sensor" parameter can be set to either "Installed" or "Not Installed".

"Fuel Temperature Sensor" for 3126B, C7, and C9 Engines

The "Fuel Temperature Sensor" parameter can be set to either "Installed" or "Not Installed".

"Secondary Throttle Enable Status"

Note: The "Number of Synchronized Engines Configuration", "Engine Location", and "Secondary
Throttle Enable Status" must be programmed in the following order:

"Number of Synchronized Engines Configuration"

"Engine Location"

"Secondary Throttle Enable Status"

"Tachometer Frequency Configuration" for C32

This parameter provides parameters for the adjustment of the ECM. The allowable range is from
12 to 500 pulses per revolution. The default value is 113.

"System Operating Voltage Configuration" for C32

At the time of this publication, this parameter is not active.

"Coolant Level Sensor"

"Coolant Level Sensor" can be programmed to "Installed" or "Not Installed". If this parameter is
programmed to "Installed", the monitoring system can be programmed to alert the operator when
the coolant level is low.

"Engine Location"
Note: The "Number of Synchronized Engines Configuration", "Engine Location", and "Secondary
Throttle Enable Status" must be programmed in the following order:

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522formattedPublicationDate%2522%253A%25222014%252F06%252F17%2522%252C… 9/66
12:15 ,23.8.2023 SIS 2.0

"Number of Synchronized Engines Configuration"

"Engine Location"

"Secondary Throttle Enable Status"

"Number of Synchronized Engines Configuration"

This parameter must be programmed to the number of synchronized engines that are used in
the application. If this parameter is programmed to two or more engines, the "Secondary Throttle
Enable Status" parameter is automatically programmed to "Enabled".

Note: The "Number of Synchronized Engines Configuration", "Engine Location", and "Secondary
Throttle Enable Status" must be programmed in the following order:

"Number of Synchronized Engines Configuration"

"Engine Location"

"Secondary Throttle Enable Status"

"Cold Cylinder Cutout"

The "Cold Cylinder Cutout" function is active when the parameter is programmed to the "ON"
value. This function increases the stability of the engine when the engine is in cold mode
operation. The cold cylinder cutout will turn off cylinders 4, 5, and 6 when the following
conditions are present:

Cylinder cutout override is not active.

No cylinder faults are active.

Cold mode operation is active.

"Engine Oil Weight" for 3126B and C7 Commercial Engine Ratings

Only
The "Engine Oil Weight" should be programmed to the respective value for the oil that is
installed in the engine. Programming this parameter incorrectly may result in a hard starting
condition.

"Engine Oil Capacity"

This parameter should be programmed to match the actual engine oil capacity.

"Fuel Correction Factor" for C7, C9,C12, C18, and 3406E Engines
The "Fuel Correction Factor" (FCF) is available to fine-tune all fuel data that will be stored in the
future by the ECM. Caterpillar recommends changing the FCF only after a significant operating

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522formattedPublicationDate%2522%253A%25222014%252F06%252F17%2522%252… 10/66
12:15 ,23.8.2023 SIS 2.0

interval that includes a comparison of actual fuel economy to the fuel economy that is recorded
in the ECM for typical operating conditions.

Calculating the FCF

New FCF = Old FCF + [(100 + Old FCF) × Error] ÷ 100

Note: The old FCF is the FCF that is currently programmed in the ECM.

Calculating the Error

Error = [(actual fuel economy − economy calculated by the ECM) ÷ actual fuel economy] × 100

"Maintenance Indicator Mode"

The ECM records data that is related to equipment maintenance. The ECM will activate the
maintenance indicator lamp when scheduled maintenance on the engine is due. The
maintenance indicator lamp can be reset by actuating the maintenance clear switch. The
maintenance interval may be based on operating hours or fuel consumption. The ECM provides
information that pertains to maintenance intervals and the last maintenance that was performed.

"PM1 Interval"
"PM1 Interval" allows the customer to define the maintenance interval if "Maintenance Indicator
Mode" is programmed to one of the manual options. Refer to the engine Operation and
Maintenance Manual for more information.

"Customer Password #1"

This parameter allows the customer to lock out certain parameters by entering a password.
Customer passwords must be used to unlock any parameters that are protected by customer
passwords before the parameter can be changed. Factory passwords are required if this
password is lost.

"Customer Password #2"

This parameter allows the customer to lock out certain parameters by entering a password.
Customer passwords must be used to unlock any parameters that are protected by customer
passwords before the parameter can be changed. Factory passwords are required if this
password is lost.

Monitoring System
The monitoring system determines the level of action that is taken by the ECM in response to a
condition that can damage the engine. When any of these conditions occur, the appropriate
Event code will trip. The following tables represent the conditions that are monitored and the
programmable trip points for each of the conditions:

Harness routing
The routing of the OEM wiring harness should be designed so that the radius of any bend is
greater than two times the diameter of the wiring harness. Curvatures should be avoided within
25 mm (1.0 inch) of any connector in order to avoid seal distortion (moisture entry path).

Requirements for the Battery Circuit

Grounding

NOTICE
Improper grounding can cause uncontrolled or unreliable circuit
paths and electrical noise resulting in damage to the engine
bearings, and other engine components.

Proper grounding of the unit and the engine electrical systems is necessary for proper
performance and reliability.

Negative Battery Connection

All return paths to the negative battery must carry any likely fault currents.

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522formattedPublicationDate%2522%253A%25222014%252F06%252F17%2522%252… 32/66
12:15 ,23.8.2023 SIS 2.0

The starter should be connected directly to the negative battery post. The alternator must be
connected to the negative battery, bus bar, or negative side of the starting motor.

Negative Battery Connection for Multiple Engines

g01635383

Illustration 23 g01635383
Isolated components
If multiple bus bars are used to connect components to the negative battery, a common
reference should be provided. All bus bars must be wired together for proper engine
synchronization for multiple engine installations.

Welding on a Vessel that is Equipped with an Electronic Controlled

Refer to the appropriate Troubleshooting Guide for more information about welding on a vessel
that is equipped with an electronic controlled engine. Also refer to the appropriate Operation and
Maintenance Manual for more information about welding.

Switched Positive Battery and Unswitched Positive Battery

g01264533

Illustration 24 g01264533
Note: All battery connections to the ECM must be utilized in order to prolong the service life of
the ECM.

The electronic control system can operate on either a 12 V electrical system or a 24 V electrical
system. The switched positive battery and the unswitched positive battery connections to the
ECM are made at the P61 Customer connector.

The ECM receives electrical power through the input for the switched positive battery. Protection
for this circuit must be rated at 15 Amp (12 V or 24 V system).

The input for the unswitched positive battery is used to power the ECM memory that contains
maintenance information and certain logged diagnostics. Protection for the unswitched positive
battery circuit is specified as 20 Amp.

Powering the electronic control system through dedicated circuits with circuit breakers reduces
the possibility of performance problems of the electronic control system. This also minimizes the
chance of an engine shutdown due to a short in the electrical system. Additional loads should not
be connected between the ECM and the circuit protection for the ECM.

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522formattedPublicationDate%2522%253A%25222014%252F06%252F17%2522%252… 33/66
12:15 ,23.8.2023 SIS 2.0

Note: Do not use in-line fuses for circuit protection. Caterpillar recommends the use of circuit
breakers for circuit protection. Circuit breakers should be located with other devices for circuit
protection in a centrally located, dedicated panel. If circuit breakers that automatically reset are
used, consideration of the environment of the location of the breaker is critical and the effect on
the trip point is critical. The trip point of some circuit breakers can be reduced below the rated
PSP
trip point if the circuit breaker is exposed to high temperatures. This reduction can cause

-00
intermittent shutdowns that result with needless replacement of electronic components.

Use of a diode in a relay as a transient voltage suppressor

The OEM should specify relays and solenoids with built-in voltage transient suppression. Refer
to Illustration 25 for ways to minimize transient voltage from relays and solenoids without built-in
voltage transient suppression. Techniques include the installation of a diode or resistor of the
proper size in parallel with the solenoid or the relay coil. Other techniques may also be used.

Inductive devices such as relays or solenoids should be located as far as possible from the
components of the electronic control system.

Wiring harnesses that are installed by the OEM should be routed as far as possible from the
wiring harness of the electronic control system in order to avoid problems that are associated
with electrical noise.

Examples of devices that require suppression of transient voltages include any device that
switches inductive loads on and off. The following list provides examples of such devices:

Solenoids (trim tab solenoids, etc)

DC electric motors

Relays that use the same power and ground as the sensor

The following list provides other examples of situations that may cause transient voltages:

Improperly grounded cable shields

Improperly grounded antennas

Signal wires that are installed too closely to power wires

All of the components that are connected to the ECM must have return wires (ground) that are
connected to the engine's − Battery. The return wires (ground) should be connected as close to
the battery as possible. Caterpillar recommends the use of a separate return wire for each
component. Each return wire (ground) should be attached to the engine's − Battery bus bar.

Caterpillar recommends the use of a 218-4935 Arc Suppressor on all inductive devices such as
relays and solenoids. The 218-4935 Arc Suppressor is not polarized. This arc suppressor can be
wired into the circuit without any concern for the direction of current flow.

Switches
Switch Specifications
All switches that are provided by the OEM and connected to the ECM must provide a two wire
electrical connection. These switches must be connected externally to the negative battery bus
bar. Switches which are grounded internally to the case must not be used.

Supplied voltage from the ECM to the switches will not normally exceed 12 VDC. Normal current
through the switches will not exceed 5.0 mA.

Momentary opening or closing of the switches and contact chatter should not exceed 100
milliseconds in duration. Vibration or shock that is normally found in the application should not
cause opening or closing of the switches.

The plating on the contacts should not be susceptible to corrosion or oxidation. Gold plated
switch contacts are recommended.

When a switch contact is opened or the wiring harness has an open circuit, the internal pull up
voltages of the ECM force the respective input to 12 VDC. Closing an OEM installed switch must
short circuit the switch input to the negative battery bus bar. Refer to the section on
"Requirements for the Battery Circuit" in this publication.

All switches are supplied by the OEM. If a problem occurs with an undetermined cause, connect
Cat ET and observe the status of the switch. Refer to the appropriate Troubleshooting manual

Throttle Position Sensor

Note: In order to avoid problems with the throttle position sensor circuit that are associated with
transient voltages, refer to "Suppression of Transient Voltage".

Care should be taken when you consider the mounting location of the throttle position sensor.
The sensor must be located as close to the control as possible. Avoid any linkage and/or cable
lengths that are excessively long. These excessive lengths will generally require more frequent
adjustment.

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522formattedPublicationDate%2522%253A%25222014%252F06%252F17%2522%252… 42/66

When you wire the throttle position sensor, avoid running the wires along other power wires. Run
a dedicated return circuit (ground) back to the − Battery bus bar that is connected to the engine
batteries. In addition, the power to the throttle position sensor must come from the same power
source (engine batteries) as the rest of the electronic control system.

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) eliminates the mechanical throttle and governor linkages.
The TPS interprets the position of the throttle lever into an electrical signal that is sent to the
ECM. The throttle position signal and the engine speed/timing signal are processed by the ECM
in order to control engine speed.

Engine Synchronization Switch

The engine synchronization switch connects multiple engines. The switch allows the engines to
be connected to a single throttle on the vessel. The single throttle controls the engine speed for
all the engines. This feature improves the control of the vessel. This feature also adds operator
convenience.

A single throttle control for vessels that have multiple engines is standard practice which allows
the transfer of throttle control to any other throttle.

Installation for the Synchronization of Multiple Engines

These electronic engines support single station throttle synchronization. The synchronization is
accomplished by the use of two switch inputs on each ECM in order to determine the
synchronization of the throttles. However, the engine ECM is not designed to support
synchronization switches from multiple stations.

Multiple operator stations complicate the wiring. Multiple operator stations typically require some
method of transferring control from one station to another station. The transfer of control may be
accomplished by several methods. The installer of the engine is responsible for determining the
method and ensuring proper operation of engine synchronization.

If multiple station synchronization switches are installed, neither of the inputs for synchronization
(J61:34 and J61:35) can be connected to the negative battery bus bar. If both inputs for the
synchronization are low, the ECM will only monitor the primary throttle and the inputs for the

synchronization will be ignored. Care must also be taken in order to ensure that a positive
battery to a negative battery short circuit does not occur in the wiring for the synchronization
switches.

Synchronization for Two Engines

Care should be taken when you consider the mounting location of the throttle position sensor.
The sensor must be located as close to the control as possible in order to avoid any linkage

Electrical Specifications for the Lamp Circuit

Electrical specifications for the low side drivers that are used for the diagnostic lamp and the
warning lamp allow a maximum current load of 0.30 Amp (300 mA). The ECM does not provide
diagnostic codes for either lamp circuit.

Low side drivers provide a path to the negative battery terminal in order to activate the device
(lamp, etc) that is connected to the circuit. While circuit protection is recommended for the lamp
driver circuits, Caterpillar does not require dedicated circuit protection.

Diagnostic Lamp Operation

Installation of a diagnostic lamp is recommended. The diagnostic lamp is used to alert the
operator of a malfunction of the electronic control system (active diagnostic code).

Caterpillar's proprietary two-digit flash codes can be viewed from the diagnostic lamp. A
sequence of flashes represents the system diagnostic message (flash code). The first sequence
of flashes represents the first digit of the flash code. After a two second pause, a second
sequence of flashes which represent the second digit of the flash code will occur. Any additional
flash codes will follow a pause. These flash codes will be displayed in the same manner.

Note: Flash codes should only be used to indicate the nature of a diagnostic condition. Do not
use flash codes to perform detailed troubleshooting. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Flash Codes" for
more information about flash codes.

Warning Lamp or Alarm Operation

Installation of a warning lamp is recommended. The warning lamp is used to alert the operator of
an engine operating condition (event code) which has the potential to cause engine damage.

The warning lamp will come on for 5 seconds when the ECM is first powered in order to indicate
that the lamp circuit is functional.

Low Oil Pressure Lamp

The low oil pressure lamp indicates the occurrence of low oil pressure. The diagnostic is
determined by the relationship between the engine speed and the actual oil pressure.

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522formattedPublicationDate%2522%253A%25222014%252F06%252F17%2522%252… 49/66
12:15 ,23.8.2023 SIS 2.0

The low oil pressure lamp will turn on for 5 seconds when the ECM is powered. The warning
lamp will then turn off unless there is a low oil pressure condition.

High Coolant Temperature Lamp

The high coolant temperature lamp indicates the occurrence of a high coolant temperature
condition.

The high coolant temperature lamp will turn on for 5 bseconds when the ECM is powered. The
warning lamp will then turn off unless there is a high coolant temperature condition.

Low Coolant Level Indicator (C9, C12, C18, C32, and C15 Engines)
The low coolant level indicator indicates the occurrence of low coolant in the cooling system.

The low coolant level indicator will turn on for 5 seconds when the ECM is powered. The warning
lamp will then turn off unless there is a high coolant temperature condition.

Maintenance Lamp and Maintenance Clear Switch

The maintenance lamp illuminates in order to alert the operator when scheduled maintenance is
due. The accumulated values for the maintenance interval in the ECM are reset to zero when the
maintenance clear switch is activated.

Note: For more information on the maintenance interval, refer to the Parameters Table for your
engine.

The maintenance indicator lamp will turn on when the programmed maintenance interval has
passed. When the ECM is powered, the maintenance indicator lamp will turn on for 5 seconds.

The maintenance clear switch is used to reset the maintenance interval after maintenance on the
engine is performed.

The terminal strip for the data link in the engine room should be located as close as possible to
the customer connector. This close location will help minimize the length of the data link cable.

Note: Ensure that there is a terminal strip for the data link in the engine room. A terminal strip
should be located at the operator station on the bridge. For multiple operator stations, route the
data link cable from the bridge to the second operator station.

1. Connect the wires for the STBD CDL and the wires for the PORT CDL to the terminal strip in
the engine room. Use 143-5018 Electrical Cable (twisted pair wiring) to make this
