PEEC Programming
Certain parameters may not be programmable if the Communication Adapter II or III is connecting the service tool to the Programmable Electronic Engine Control (PEEC). If this occurs, perform the following steps:

1. Locate the 9-pin connector (diagnostic connector). Refer to the engine's schematics. Note: For PEEC engines, the diagnostic connector is J1. For PEEC III engines, the diagnostic connector is J8. 2. Locate Pin F. This is the pin used for programming. It must be grounded in order to change parameters. 3. Install a jumper between Pin B and Pin F, or connect Pin F to engine ground. Ensure that existing wires remain connected to the 9-pin connector. If Pin F is not properly grounded, some of the following parameters will be affected: Engine Serial Number, Personality Module Code, Full Load Setting, and Full Torque Setting. #502

Customer Configuration Upload

Purpose
The Customer Configuration Upload program can be used to load a configuration file into the ECM.

Instructions
To run Customer Configuration Upload: Select Customer Configuration Upload from the Utilities menu. The Connection message box displays until the program establishes a connection with the ECM(s). To stop the connection process, click the Stop Connect button. Note: This connection process displays regardless of connection status.

Note: If the ECM is not programmed, the current software number will read None.

New Software part number

Note: If a new software part is not selected, the new software part number will read None.

Select ECM/Deselect ECM buttons These buttons are enabled once a file has been selected.

To select an ECM, click the ECM name from the list in the tree area. Alternatively, use the up and down arrows on the keyboard to highlight the desired ECM. An ECM cannot be selected by highlighting the current software part number or the new software part number listed under the ECM name.
File Information Area

When the Browse button is and a file is selected from the File Selection dialog box, this area displays the file name and location, as well as a brief description of the file, if available.

Programming the ECM with Customer Configuration Upload

Overview
All ECMs connected to the service tool will display in the Detected ECMs area.

Instructions
To program an ECM:
1. Highlight an ECM from the Detected ECMs tree area. 2. Click the Browse button. The File Selection dialog box displays. 3. Select the file to be programmed on the highlighted ECM and click Open. The Customer Configuration Upload screen will display. The File Information and the file values in the ECM/File Information areas will fill in with any available information. 4. Click the Select ECM button. The service tool places a check mark to the left of the ECM name. This indicates which ECMs are to be programmed consecutively.

Note: Highlighting a checked ECM and clicking the Deselect ECM button will remove the checkmark from the ECM.
5. Click the Upload button. The upload process will begin. The upload process may be cancelled at any time by clicking Cancel.

Note: If more than one ECM has been selected, the service tool will program the ECMs in the order in which they appear in the Detected ECMs area. Note: If more than one ECM has been selected, clicking Cancel will cancel the entire flashing process.
6. When the upload process completes, a dialog displays that allows a return to the service tool, a return to Customer Configuration Upload, or an exit from the service too.

Using the Communication Adapter

Overview
The Communication Adapter Toolkit can be used to upgrade (flash) the communication adapter firmware or troubleshoot communication problems with a service tool. The toolkit can also be used to set the communication (COM) port and baud rate settings for the communication adapter.

Note: If a 443 error code is received, the application firmware must be re-flashed into the communication adapter.

Summary
The Communication Adapter Toolkit offers the following screens:
