Theft Deterrent System Control
Description:
When used with the Theft Deterrent Password
parameter (see page 147), the Theft Deterrent system
prevents the engine from starting unless the password
has been entered via the Caterpillar Driver Information
Display (Cat ID) or Cat Messenger.
Before the operator can use the Theft Deterrent feature
of the Cat ID or Cat Messenger, the system must be
turned On. To turn the Theft Deterrent system On, a
service tool must be used to program the Theft Deterrent
parameter to Yes.
No - Theft Deterrent capability turned Off
Yes - Theft Deterrent capability turned On
Auto Enable - Operator must enter a password to start,
regardless of how engine was shut-off
Once the Theft Deterrent parameter has been turned
On, the operator must enter the password before the
engine shuts off or the key is turned to the off position.
The engine will not restart without reentering the
password. For further detail on Cat ID or Cat Messenger
operation, including the Theft Deterrent feature refer to
the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
