The PC-based service tools from Caterpillar provide the capability to access Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) from a personal computer. Many job-critical tasks can be performed with an electronic service tool.

The user can display the status of a group of parameters (temperatures, pressures, etc.) simultaneously, view active and clear logged diagnostics, display the current configuration of an ECM and much more.

The service tool works with a communication adapter to allow connection to an ECM. A graphical interface makes this software quick to learn and easy to use. The version and identification of the ECM is automatically retrieved and is displayed on a summary screen when the program is started.

Diagnostic tests and calibrations can also be performed.
Caterpillar PC-based tools enable service technicians to reprogram ECMs, reconfigure control system parameters, fine tune performance or diagnose the root cause of a failure the first time. These powerful tools allow service personnel to display and analyze vital performance and health information from any system quickly and accurately.

The service tool communicates with any system using ATA (J1708), J1939 or the Caterpillar proprietary data link networks. The service tools provide information and features needed to help a technician diagnose problems and perform repairs and to customize and personalize the operation of a product.

By allowing customers to design flexibility and configurability into a product, Caterpillar service tools stretch beyond the capabilities of preprogrammed ECMs or onboard display systems.

Software version: 2019C

2019C Caterpillar ET3 Adapter III Communication:

1. Allows communication between service tools and engine controls using various data links such as J1939/11, DeviceNet (future release), CAT DataLink, and J1708 (ATA) vehicle networks;
2. Flash program allows adapter firmware upgrades as additional features become available;
3. Uses J1939/11, high-speed data link (part of ADEM III controls), substantially reducing flash times;
4. Automatically selects J1939/11 when flashing the engine (reduces the flash time approximately 80%, from 14 minutes to 3 minutes).

Durametric coding Possible with Porsche PIWIS cable

The Porsche PIWIS 3 (PST3) is the newest Diagnostic Tool in the market. It can read trouble code, clear trouble code, shows ECU information. It test live data, display actual values, and programs. On all; process malfunction navigation, showing all interior circuit diagram.

Durametric coding instruction:

The Coding option provides a way to back-up, restore, and change settings within supported control units. For example, you can save the settings of an old control unit you must replace and restore those settings to a new control unit. Durametric relies on internal part numbers and metrics to ensure you do not restore settings to unintended, incompatible control units.

Coding options on supported control units vary.

To backup control unit settings:
1.Select a model.
2.Select a control unit that supports coding.
3.Select Coding.
4.Review the warning statement.
5.If you acknowledge the warning statement, click I understand the risks (proceed with coding).
6.On the Backup / Restore tab, click the Backup button.
The Save As dialog appears. The program uses an XML file to save the backup settings. By default,
the program names the file the same as the selected control unit and saves the file to the My Documents (or Documents) folder.
7.Save the XML. Note the save location and filename for future reference.



To restore saved control unit settings:
1.Select a model.
2.Select a control unit that supports coding.
3.Select Coding.
4.Review the warning statement.
5.If you acknowledge the warning statement, click I understand the risks (proceed with coding).
6.On the Backup / Restore tab, click the Restore button. The Open dialog appears.
7.Browse to the location of your backup files.
8.Select an applicable backup file.
9.Click the Open button. The program then restores the settings to the control unit.

5.If you acknowledge the warning statement, click I understand the risks (proceed with coding).
6.Select the Coding tab. Editable options will appear.
7.Edit the settings as necessary. Settings changes take effect when you move the cursor to another field.


To do coding with Piwis cable:
Coding is available in the Professional kits or VXDIAG Porsche Piwis III:



In the Coding/Adaptation function group, it is possible to read the coding of control units and also to change the coding if the user has the corresponding permissions.

If you have selected at least one control unit in another function group (A), you can access the list of coding modes (B) by selecting the Coding/Adaptation function group.

You can access the different working screens after selection of a coding mode:

If you have selected manual coding without MCR (C) and confirmed this with <F12> (H), you can now set and write coding values (I). You can return to the list of coding modes with <F11> (G).

If you have selected manual coding with MCR (D) and confirmed this with <F12> (K),you must enter the vehicle data in the screen that is then displayed (L). You can return from here to the list of coding modes with <F11> (J).

When you have entered the vehicle data, you can access a screen for assignment of the valid equipment features by pressing <F12> (N). If you press the <F11> button (M) in this screen, you return to the vehicle data input screen.

After you have assigned the equipment features, you then access a screen where you confirm that the vehicle data is correct by pressing <F12> (O). If you press the <F11> button (P) in the confirmation screen, you return to the screen in which you have to assign the valid equipment features.

If you confirm that the data is correct with <F12> (Q), the codings are then written (R).

If you have selected one of the automatic coding modes (Automatic coding with MCR or Reset to factory settings) and confirmed this with <F12> (T), you must confirm the vehicle data with <F12> (Q) (back to list of coding modes with

<F11> (S)). The codings are then written (R).

In addition, you can also call up a different function group by selecting one of the function group buttons in the menu bar (U).

CAT ET Adapter III FAQ:

Q1 :Is the Cat Comm III compatable with the software CAT caterpillar ET 2019C Is this an actual caterpillar part or a knock off? Thanks
A1: Yes, this is actually the genuine CAT adapter,It is also the ONLY recommended adapter for CAT ET, but obviously other ones will work. It will work fine for the version you have, and 2011C is actually the newest version.

Q2:What is the difference between a cat comm II &amp; Cat Comm III. Is one just a usb connection and one serial? Also, will this unit work with my Cat 3126B marine units? Seriel no. 3GS01797 Thanks
A2:CAT Comm II was a serial port model, but since computers are no longer made with serial ports, they changed the design to a USB and called it a CAT Comm III. So you are correct. This unit works with all CAT engines — Marine, on-highway, and off-highway. On Marine units, I’m not sure where they put the plug, but it should be somewhere near the ECM (Typically). It should be either a 6 pin or 9 pin connector.

Q3: Does this work with CAT 3500 natural gas engines and 3600 natural gas engines? Thanks.
A3: If those programs use CAT Electronic Technician (CAT ET) for the software, it will work.

Q4: Can the cat communicate3 also be used to read detroit and cummins engines if I have the correct software?
A4:Yes, it reads both J1708 and J1939 so it can read both of those. Keep in mind that this adapter only comes with the J1939 adapter end, so I would recommend purchasing the J1708 adapter end from me as well if you plan on connecting to some older stuff.

Q5:will this unit allow me all access to the ecm to alter all areas eg set speed limiter to a lower speed and is there a yearly lic fee.
A5: This device is what you should use if you will be hooking up to both off-highway &amp; on-highway CAT engines. If you are strictly wanting to work on on-highway CAT engines, I would rather see you purchase a Nexiq USB Link .The Nexiq USB Link is universal (Works with CAT, Cummins, Detroit, Allison, etc…), it is cheaper, plus it has bluetooth so you can go wireless.

Q6: want to compare the communicator and some caterpillar ECMS could tell me if it works with them.
A6: This item works with all CAT ECMS — Off Road and On Highway, trucks and equipment
