HOSE-HYDRAULIC 1247115 - Caterpillar

"Fuel Correction Factor"
The "Fuel Correction Factor" is available to fine tune all fuel data that will be stored in the future by the ECM. Caterpillar recommends changing this factor only after a significant operating interval that includes a comparison of actual tank fuel economy to the fuel economy that is recorded in the Engine Control Module (ECM). The operating interval should also reflect a typical route. The fuel correction factor (FCF) is a percentage that is programmable in 0.5 percent increments.
Table 1
Minimum Maximum Default
−63.5 +63.5 0 "Calculating Fuel Correction Factor"
The following formula should be used to determine the new FCF.
Illustration 1 g00629908OLD FCF - Fuel correction factor in ECMTANK - Actual fuel economyECM - Fuel economy in ECM stored trip dataRefer to Illustration 2 as an example. The actual tank fuel economy is 7.1 mpg. The fuel economy in the ECM stored trip data is 7.0 mpg over the same distance with an old FCF of −2.5.
Illustration 2 g00629939"Dash - Change Fuel Correction Factor"
This parameter allows the driver to adjust the "Fuel Correction Factor". An owner/operator would want the driver to be able to change this information, but a fleet operation might not want the driver to be able to change this information.
Table 2
Alternative Default
"Yes" "No" "Dash - PM 1 Reset"
This parameter determines the driver's access for resetting the PM 1 (maintenance) after the PM 1 has been performed. The maintenance indicator mode cannot be programmed to "Off" for the "PM 1 Reset" parameter to take effect.
Table 3
Alternative Default
"Yes" "No" "Dash - Fleet Trip Reset"
This parameter determines the driver's access for resetting the fleet trip segment.
Table 4
Alternative Default
"Yes" "No" "Dash - State Selection"
Program this parameter to NO to disable this function of Messenger. Messenger will not show "State Selection" as an option to the driver. If this parameter is programmed to "YES" (default), Messenger will provide the feature of "State Selection".Programming this parameter to "NO" eliminates "State Selection". Therefore, the storage of the trip data ("State Selection") is eliminated.
Table 5
Alternative Default
"No" "Yes" "Theft Deterrent System Control"
When this parameter is used with a "Theft Deterrent Password", this parameter prevents the engine from starting unless the password has been entered via the dash display of Messenger. Before the operator can use the feature of theft deterrent of Messenger, the system must be turned on. In order to turn on the theft deterrent, the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) must be used to program the parameter for the theft deterrent to "Yes". The operator must first enter the password before the engine is shut off. This will enable the system. Enabling the system prevents the engine from starting without re-entering the password on the next attempted start.Note: After
