System Configuration
Parameters
SMCS Code: 1901
System configuration parameters are parameters
that are configured to specify the engine’s emissions
levels, the power rating, and the specific application.
Default values for the parameters are programmed
at the factory. Some parameters may be changed in
order to equip the engine for a specific application.
The system configuration parameters must be
reprogrammed if the Electronic Control Module
(ECM) is replaced. It is not necessary to reprogram
the system configuration parameters if you update
the ECM flash file. Certain configuration parameters
are stamped into the engine information plate.
Note: If the parameters that are protected with
the factory passwords are changed, the Caterpillar
warranty may be voided.
