Cold Mode Idle Shutdown Timer Enable
Description:
This feature is only available if the Engine Idle Shutdown
System is programmed to Caterpillar. The Cold Mode
Idle Shutdown Timer Enable parameter determines if
the Idle Shutdown System will operate if Engine Coolant
Temperature is less than 38 °C (100 °F) and the engine
has been running for less than 15 minutes.
When set to Disable (default) the Idle Shutdown System
will not operate if Engine Coolant Temperature is less
than 38 °C (100 °F) and the engine has been running for
less than 15 minutes. If the engine has been running
(between low idle and top engine limit) for 15 minutes,
the Idle Shutdown System is enabled regardless of
engine coolant temperature.
When set to Enabled, the Idle Shutdown System will
operate regardless of engine coolant temperature.
