Customer Passwords

Customer Password #1

Customer Password #2

Description:

To protect the engine against unauthorized

reprogramming once the parameters are set, the

customer can specify either one or two passwords

to control access to the parameters stored in the

electronic control module (ECM). However, the use of

passwords is not required for Cat electronic engines to

operate. Both passwords can be up to 10 alphanumeric

characters in length.

Once these passwords are programmed, they are

required to gain access to the customer speciﬁ ed

parameters. No one can change the pre-programmed

Cruise Control parameter for instance, even if they

were to have access to a service tool, without also

knowing the correct password(s). If both passwords

are programmed, then both will be needed in order to

change a customer speciﬁ ed parameter.

If the password is misplaced or forgotten the customer

will have to contact either his Caterpillar dealer or

authorized truck dealer to view the passwords. This

requires a higher level of security called a factory

password.

Available:

All Electronically Controlled Engines

Range:

Range Cat Default

10 Characters None

Advantages:

Programming in a password or words help make the

customer’s electronics speciﬁ cations more secure and

resistant to tampering.

Disadvantages:

If the password(s) is(are) forgotten, arrangements must

be made with an authorized dealer to obtain a factory

password.

Recommendations:

✔ Caterpillar recommends that electronic engines be

protected by passwords and that those passwords

be kept secure.
