wire is installed, the "Clutch Switch" status will

always indicate "OFF". Engines that were built after

JULY 1999 use only one type of ECM that can be

configured for "Basic" or "Full Feature" operation.

A new parameter was added in order to provide

this flexibility. The "Truck Manufacturer" parameter

was added in order to allow the configuration of the

"GM Basic" operation or the "Other Full Feature"

operation. This parameter is programmed at

Caterpillar when the engine is built. The parameter

for "Transmission Style" is not available for engines

that have software that is dated prior to SEP00

and the parameter for "Truck Manufacturer" is

programmed to "GM". SEP00 and newer engines

that are programmed to "GM" use the "Transmission

Style" parameter. The factory default for the "GM"

setting is the "Universal" option. The "Universal"

option provides identical features as the "Basic"

system that is described above. If the "Transmission

Style" parameter is programmed to the "Universal"

option, a jumper wire must be installed between the

clutch switch input and the sensor common when an

automatic transmission is installed. Otherwise, the

"Transmission Style" parameter can be programmed

to match the specific arrangement of the vehicle.

If the problem is with undetermined

Cruise/Idle/PTO kickouts use the following

procedure:

Operate the vehicle in "Cruise/Idle/PTO" mode.

After the kickout, review the status parameter on ET.

The status parameter on ET indicates the cause.

This must be performed before the ignition key

switch is turned OFF. It is important to remember

that the parameter will only indicate the last kickout

since the ECM has been powered by the input for

the ignition key switch.

The following kickout status parameters are

available:

"Cruise Kickout"

"Idle Kickout"

"PTO Kickout"

"Fast Idle Kickout"
