Cat ET is the software based service tool which gives the service technician the capability to communicate and work with the electronic controls on Caterpillar products. I had heard before that there are 2 ET version, customer and dealer. It looks like this CAT ET diagnostic tool is more tend to the dealer. But I think this CAT diagnostic tool is for both customer and dealer.
I appreciated that the status screen allows the viewing of real time parameters by either using a predefined group or creating a custom group. And can help dealer identify problems without visiting machine. I can perform all diagnostic and calibrations with it. It will not let you flash ecm’s.
Functionalities show all operating conditions that cause high repair costs such as: over speeds, high temperatures, fuel consumption, transmission shift counts. This can provide awareness to change operator.
The diagnostic software package required could be the Caterpillar Electronic Technician, generally known as CAT Caterpillar ET Diagnostic Tool. This software program communicates using the engine and may retrieve information and facts concerning mileage around the engine, quantity of fuel used along with other significant data. The computer software can also be beneficial for calibrating the engine.
