- In this video we discuss and show how to use Caterpillar ET or Electronic Technician. Also have 2 Destruction of the Week clips. Thanks for watching. Questions can be sent to AdeptApe@yahoo.com and donations can be sent to the same email on PayPal.
I recommend the Cat Comm Adapter 3, but if want something else the Nexiq USB Link 2 on this Amazon Affiliate link: amzn.to/3rqGUEy is pretty good for trucks in general. - Авто та транспорт
Thanks. Enjoy your videoes. We have the C7 and CX28 on one of our APC. Had a C7 running on 1 sylinder once, using the cutout. This was on a technical course. But only this one time., never again!
I love this tool. I test oht. This program is amazing and has helped me through some times.
Very good video. Doing homework before needing to change the source address code for a windows 10 operating control to read multiple engine data. Unit has 4 engines, 3 running at any given time.
You and Warren collaboration what a HOOT that would be!
Thanks for your wonderful experience
Always looking forward to another 'Dep'Dape video!
I like that name more than the actual channel name.
@@AdeptApe And just my luck, on this vid you didn't do the usual intro!
Great job ! Thanks for your info
Awesome! 'Learn a lot, never use this scan tool before!"
Love the video Josh!!! Super helpful......keep it up man!!!
Thank you.
Great stuff. Much appreciated. 👍
I love it....software, destruction, goofy cat guy, oh my. I wonder if this is something I should be using to monitor the C7 on my RV.
excellent explanation! thanks
Thanks a lot for the information hopefully you will find time to share more on cat information management systems. Like you have just done, I would like to learn more on how to use sis vims ET and whatever you feel is ideal for cat mechanics. Thank you a lot.
Thank you for the teaching
Haven't hooked up to a cat in years . Can't say I miss them .
I really enjoy these videos.

Peoria mothership?
@@AdeptApe Yep, went through the Peoria thinkbig years ago and ended up in the mothership instead of the dealer.
Keep doing the works bro
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for this video
Thanks for information. I'm Caterpillar Technician from Indonesian in dealer Caterpillar (Trakindo CAT)
Thank you!
COLORADO!!!
how r u,am always wachin ur videos keep up hope one day the 🌎👏will get a gd to new cattapillar engine to start running again,hope i get to come to Toronto one day to see u mate..gd job..
Good video
Is there a UA-cam like this but for Cummins? Started watching him few weeks ago. Guy is amazing
What do u need to know been wanting to start a chanel for cummins of course not as intense as this guy he is a beast I would love to have a guy like him at the shop I work at
Nice info....I also have et 😎
Excellent info I been on the fence about ordering a bootleg Chinese copy of Et and sis, mainly because I don’t know how to use it.
does the chinese copy works?
Yo does it work ? I was plan buy it
Engine valleys always seem to be a home for some creature. I've found a few mouse nests in 7.3 powerstrokes.
We used this for Cat C13s on busses. We'd scare the bus washers walking through the shop performing an IVA test. Seemed like the bus was coming apart.
The dirt you show at the end -- what makes people ignore servicing their engines? WOW
That was alot of unicorn shit! Wtf!
Contamination control necessary during service to enhance engine life
Thanks
Can u do a video on how the fast idle works on a C7 motor? Thanks for all the free info
Thank sir,?so much
Hey Josh. Thanks for all the helpful videos. Can you recommend where to buy a customer cat et software? I have a few trucks with the 3126 and one of them starts on either but then shuts down after a few seconds. I put a new huei pump and injectors in recently also new speed sensors and wire harness to injectors. And I’m getting flash codes 15-39-62 any pointers would be great thanks.
I know it's a long and arduous process, but could you please give us a video on a 3116 overhead? There really isn't much info on this. Warren @western truck and tractor repair was doing a video series on this but he lost the footage.
Thank you for information,,can I ask if how to adjust the rpm for heui engine,,?
thank you for your nice supports, plz tell me how can i download the ET app.
Thanks for the information. How can I download VIMS using the ET
I have a Caterpillar 195 HIFC in Mayka 15 when the engine is hot and when it is cool 20 Mahua reason and thank you
Josh, do you have any experience with a CAT file encryption or decrypting software tool? I assume you are a true blue dealer guy doesn't like to twist up CAT engines for performance but maybe you can prove me wrong. Have you tuned up engines for purposes such as pulling competitions?
Good video, I use ET a bit at work and on my own time with my weird hobbies. One thing that has puzzled me tho is What is the difference between an event code and an active/logged code? I was recently working on C7S in a 4x4 GMC 7500 with an extreme low power complaint w/CEL that was gone when I arrived. I found no active codes, a few logged diag codes that seemed unrelated to severe power loss for a few reasons, and quite a few event codes including fuel rail pressure and fuel leakage. There was no fuel leak (although it did have a badly leaking Charge Air Cooler), but would not pass a fuel system verification. So this was puzzling me for a while, perhaps a come back waiting to happen. But not knowing the distinction between event and "normal" codes was a hinderance in trying to explain the situation to my bosses and the customer supervisor as well making me question my logic of how I was proceeding.
Not that I work with this software at all, but my best guess is one is stored (event?) and then there are codes that are currently being used (normal?). I know in cars, codes are stored until they are cleared, even if they somehow get fixed, they just get shown as past codes instead of current.
In ET diagnostic codes “typically” indicate an electrical issue like an open or short circuit in a component (sensor, solenoid etc), wiring or ECM itself. The common ones will be -3, -4, -5 & -6 that indicate voltage or current is above or below normal.
Event codes “typically” indicate an mechanical issue like a pressure, temp or speed too high, too low etc. Essentially the ECM is getting a signal back from the sensor that is valid but not what it wants or expects to see given current operating conditions. Think high coolant temp or low boost pressure but I have seen sensors fail and not go full open or short so you see an event code but the electrical component (sensor) is the cause.
An active diagnostic code or event code is something that is currently happening. A logged diagnostic code or event code is something that was active in the past and stored as sort of a clue to prior issues. In ET we can see how many times a code or event was active in the logged screen as well as the first and last time it was active.
@@chevypower33 Thank you very much
Would you know of any heavy truck code reader or scanner that is capable of doing cylinder cut out tests?
What program would allow me to change how the courtesy lights work when I open the door in my truck, its a 2007 kenworth t800?
new subs here, may ask, is it possible to transfer the injector to another place just to prove the injector is not functioning normal, without any problem to the ECM
Make merch !!!!!!!!!!!
The program reminds me a lot of Ford IDS, especially in layout. Ford & Cat have corroborated before, maybe their computer/IT guys still are.
Regarding your 3208 debacle, I contract with 2 tomato farms down here in FL for service & I can just about promise that's been a farm truck. Always some jack-leg field worker who thinks they're a technician & thinks they can make a truck magically run without an air cleaner. Or some other idiotic action which results in destruction. What really sucks is I don't know enough Spanish to really chew them out good 😒
We have a fleet of trucks where I work that all have Cummins engines and we use Insite (Cummins oem software) and it's absolutely awful!!
We also have a snap on ProLink and I think that gets used more than anything else!
The cat software looks so much better than Cummins insight but you know cat doesn't make on-road truck engines anymore so.............
What’s makes insite awful? I’ve used just about every oem software and Insite is one of the easiest to use
@@dieseltech7_358 It seems like it always needs to be updated, crashes constantly, won't update ECM's properly, it's just a gigantic pain in the ass compared to the prolink!
I’ve never had it crash on me and the ecm update has gotten better. They had a big problem for a while little but seems to be worked out now.
is it possible to test a hydraulic valve with the et?
is ee you using 317-7485 comm adapter. people are selling oem cat comm adapters in oem packaging but saing its new part number is 538-5051. i searched for 538-5051 on at parts and there is no listing for it. Whats your thoughts
Hey what brand/type laptop was that you showed in the video?
Please can you recommend best ET and have to get it download for technicials use
Great explaination,
where can I take a special course in ET cat program?
I offer this course both on site n online
Is there anything that I can do other than a 3406b conversion to get power out of a 3406c peec?
Thank you for your videos. Please can I use jpro adapter to connect to CAT ET
You can
On that y cable whats the other for 14 pin side
Cat Comm 3 module can be used for Perkins EST?
I have ET2021a. On a 2017 Industrial C7.1 which has a DEF quality sensor in the tank. Is it possible to read that parameter in ET? Other venders that have a sensor you can read DEF quality % along with all the other sensor data but I cant find it in Cat et.
Can you please give us deep information in et
Josh can one on customer ET delete regen on Backhoes?
hi there, i am a 64 year old retired train driver from RSA, i like diesel engines, especially the 16 cylinder and 10 cylinder ones, the other day i watched a Pakistani team overhauling an engine, on top of the pistons was a valve, i wondered what is the purpose of that valve, when you strip that engine completely , do you gooi all the bolts and nuts in one bucket and then still know were every bolt and nut belongs,
hello sir, can you help me answer, is the ET adapter the same as EST? what if ET is used to diagnose perkins 1300 machine?
Looked like asbestos blanket inwards on the intake.
That Cat ET is interesting, but I don't think I'd get enough out of an annual license fee, using it for the RV.
And it's too bad about that customer's cylinder liners. Cha-ching...
My adapter came with a manufacturer licence. 🇺🇲
Where did you get it from?
Are you going to continue the diesel 101 videos. Really enjoyed the intro to diesel mechanics. I plan to go to a tech school this fall for it
Good question, the first 2 did really good, but the last 2 did really poorly. I think I'm going to make 1 more on fuel systems and probably an electric course. We will see what happens.
@@AdeptApe That was probably the best series you've done so far. I really enjoyed it and understood how they work much better as a result.
@Adept Ape hi, I’m having issues with my cat 320d 6.4 acert engine. The code is low fuel pressure on rail. The machine is still working perfect if you keep the engine speed dial on 8 or under. If you select 9 or 10 the engine enter on safe mode and loose power after a couple of minutes. Now It is doing on 8 too and I’m working the machine on 7 but it’s very slow.
I have replaced:
Fuel return valve (fuel rail)
Low pressure pump
2 Inyectors (they had little return)
Flush all fuel lines and filter base.
Any idea if what could be happen?
A lot of people say may be the high pressure pump but it is the only thing I didn’t change. I think the pump is very expensive for keep guessing the issue.
All this parts where diagnosed and replaced by a cat technician
Need to do one on data logging and such.
I have an active code on my Cat ct660. It has the ct13 engine and the code I have is SPN 5542, I believe it has something to do with exhaust back pressure and maybe a sticky turbo dump valve. What are your first thoughts, thanks.
I think the CT13 is actually a Navistar MaxxForce 13. Not NAV’s best engine. I’m not sure who’s software is running the CT 13. If it is Navistar software I wonder if cat T even works with it?
Good day im having trouble with my Cat140K I've changed all 6 injectors but the machine is over fueling stuttering etc....no diagnostic codes present ive compared all values to another Cat140K the done all tests ets...the fuel delivery volume is different on the Cat thats running good its 9500mm3 but on the Cat140K thats stuttering its 18000mm3 ....No injector trim files were loaded could this be the cause?

Can you send me video of this training I need full training of this
Does anyone know if I can change my speed limiter with the cat et software on a 3126 engine?
I have a 3406E that shows 2 previous owners on the ECM and I want to do a rerate. It won't let me change anything is that a dealer only thing to get rid of the previous owners info on the ECM
That makes no sense. You have last time a parameter was changed. Don't need a password unless customer has one.
And you have a system parameter change that will require a Cat password.
Most rerates require a transmission and clutch change. Unless your staying at the current peak torque value. Which if you are, your not gaining anything at 1200 RPM's. It boils down to the interlock code. When you flash the ECM to a different rating and or LOW NOX file from a non low NOX, the interlock code is changed. It will say not programmed. The engine will start up and run but the throttle will not work. It will require a level III password, to marry the ECM to the current file. A low NOX password will ask you if it's a rebuild or not and will go at no charge, if the same HP.
If your changing HP up or down will require level III password and going up is a fee. Some HP changes only certain people are authorized to get them, due to the legality. Case in point if you have a MXS/NXS 550 or below and you wish to go to a 600 and up.
Some engines like a MBN no rerating outside of a engine family. If you have a 475 low torque for example you cannot legally rerate it to the high torque family. You cannot get passwords from Cat. With the older engines most of the time will require a iron change to increase HP. The 5EK's was the worst. As the newer engines came out, required less and now most of the time a flash only.
I get a lot of used ECM customers and have to change engine serial number, flashing ECM, interlock code, FLS/FTS changes, then you get into customer parameters and such. If you have a Cat, you need a jump drive and get what's called a ECM replacement file just in case your ECM fails. You have a copy of how it's programmed. You need a clean copy, as if it has a bug in it. If you load from file you will carry the bug into that ECM.
Yes you can but you need factory password or just give ECM to your local dealer to help you out.
How I can see the exact event date from failure logged history
Is an ACERT truck engine capable of producing more than 475 hp?
Josh, does your dealer software have a keyword generator to program personality numbers? I.e FTS FLS. or does your dealership version make you phone into CAT and give them the scan code to enter the passwords? The reason I ask is when you flash the ECM you need to program the personality code by entering the passwords and I'm curious if dealers have to phone into CAT to get them.
No we just tap the pop up screen, enter our job number and it generates the codes, we can change fts, fls, totals. When we do complete rebuild I zero the hours.
What he said, although I don't zero the hours on a rebuild as they use the starting hours of a rebuild as warranty tracking.
@@AdeptApe so is it possible to zero the engine hours with cat et
@@chevy36ful how do you get the job number and what does FLS and FTS stand for? How are people making custom files out there and getting passwords even though they don't work at dealerships?
@@jorgem838 hacked Cat ET programs. Same people who do emission delete files on trucks
I have a Cat 242d skidsteer. A few months ago, my engine harness got melted and I replaced with a new harness. Ever since then, it has a code for regenerate and my skidsteer got sluggish. My question to you is, would I be able to reset codes with Cat et software with out password?
Did you ever got this worked out ?
Hi Josh, please how can I get ET dealer software install in my system and the com adaptor?
Hi, does it work for Soilmec rigs 2007 ?

Josh. Do you have any experience in cat 325L excavator. There are electronic problem. Can you help me
Well I mostly do engine work and mostly on truck engines. I don't have any experience or familiarity with that machine. I do understand datalinks and electrical pretty good though.

Bud I have a 2015 caterpillar ct660s over the road dump truck with a c13 engine. I'm having trouble finding the 02 sensor, would you know where I can find it.
Well, I haven't touched a Cat truck in a couple years, but there are the NOX sensors on the inlet and outlet of the SCR canister under the passenger side step. I don't remember there being an actual O2 sensor anywhere on the engine.
@@AdeptApe Well here is my deal, I took my truck to Caterpillar dealer where it sat for almost 2 weeks. Why... because they share the computer to diagnose the check engine light between 4 dealers here in Arkansas. It would probably be another week and a half before they got the computer. So I picked it up and took it to the loves shop, where they told me it was the 02 sensor. Thou they couldn't specify which one was bad. I'm going to change them out one at a time to see what change happens in doing so. Found the Nox sensors at kenworth dealer.
I have a question
I found using j1939 for et this spn code
1383-11 (engine shut down hot )
Could any one tell me what that mean ?
Can I change my engine serial number with ET?
Yes, but why would you? If your engine is legal you could void any warranty on new parts installed.
Level III passwords, could be a charge from Cat if it's legal. If not you will have to get a illegal password calculator program.
Yes, you can change no password required.
I want to take this one but I don't no how should use and he give are not cd software
I work for a Perkins dealer and use dealer ET for Perkins. Do you know what the differences between customer and dealer? If I get the license for Cat they probably won’t let me purchase the dealer version,
Interface Cat Comm 3 wires is the same for Perkins EST?
@@matosdiesel2653 the software is the same. The actual connection plug may be different. But they use the same protocol.
Why does my cat electronic technician keeps giving me an error initialization of comet failed and closes the program how do i fix it
How do I get the ET software?..
Can you help me . 10 window how to support this version. I don't know what to support license. 6 month this version don't support . Can you help me.
You can get the dealer version of Cat ET 2020 online for free👀🤭 even with the keygen file. Fun fact, ET won't work on the newer on highway "Cat" branded trucks because they just threw a navistar N13 in there🤣 so you have to use Navistar's NED program. Shame on cat for just repainting the engine yellow and slapping a Cat logo on the valve cover lmao.
Could you reply with a link to the ET Dealer version online? Thanks very much.
Do you have it? Does it work? I bet not. It probably has no activation. I have several et programs and not one was free.
@@johncholmes643 I have the legit 2020 ET version but have downloaded 2019 ET dealer for free with the key generator online from mhhauto. 2020 is also available but I already have the legit version. Cummins insite 8.6 and JPro are also all free lol.
