At the present time, five engine manufacturers use Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) that

RollingRadius
Inadditiontotherearaxleratio,theECMalso
considers the size of the drive tires when
determining the vehicles speed. Therefore,
tire data such as manufacturer, model, and
size should be recorded. In addition, the
rolling radius of the drive wheels must be
measured. This measurement should be
takenonaflatsurfacewiththevehicleinthe
same weighted configuration it was in when
theincidentoccured.

To measure the rolling radius, use a level to


projectthecenteroftheaxlehubbeyondthe
rim and tire. Then, using a ruler or tape
measure, document the distance from the Figure 3 Measuring Rolling Radius

AboutCaterpillar

Using the software program Electronic


Technician(CatET),calibrationinformation,trip
data, fault information, and diagnostic code
snapshots can be recovered from Caterpillar
ECMs. When a diagnostic code such as low
engine coolant or low oil pressure is detected,
the ECM will document data surrounding the
event. In addition, the driver can trigger a
snapshot by toggling the cruise control
set/resume switch in a specified manner.
Snapshots are only available with ECMs having
Figure 4 - Caterpillar test run completed at Fox
software installed or upgraded after November Valley Technical College in Appleton, Wisconsin
of1995.

In addition to diagnostic codes, a quick stop snapshot can be created when the wheel speed
slows at a user specified rate. If the rate is set at zero, the feature will not be activated. In
mostcases,thequickstopparameterwasgenerallynotenabledunlessspecificallyrequested
bythecustomer.Beginningin2007,theparameterwasautomaticallysetto10mph/secatthe
factory.Whenaquickstopistriggered,theECMwilldocumentupto44secondspriortothe
decelerationthresholdbeingmet,and15secondsafter.

SupportedEngines
Most Caterpillar heavy and medium duty engines manufactured since 1994 using Advanced
Diesel Engine Management (ADEM) systems are capable of storing snapshot data. These
include the numerical CSeries, as well as electronic 3176, 3126, and 3406 models. Other
enginesarearelimitedtostoringECMconfigurationdata.

AboutCummins
Two separate software programs are used to access Cummins ECMs. The first of these
programs,Insite,isusedbytechnicianstoprogramthemodules,retrievetripdata,andtoread

codedata.Inaddition,PowerspecextractssuddendecelerationinformationfromtheECMfor
59 seconds prior to the event and 15 seconds after the event. With Cummins, a sudden
deceleration is defined as a wheel speed change of 9 mph/sec. The ability to save such
informationwasnotprogrammeduntillate2004,andthesuddendecelerationdatawillonlybe
availableinspecificECMswithinitialprogrammingorsoftwareupdatessincethattime.

SupportedEngines
All Cummins heavy and medium duty onhighway engines built in 1994 or later will contain
configuration and fault code data. However, only the 2002 and newer ISM and ISX engines
have the ability to store sudden deceleration information. As of 2008 (EPA 07), all ISeries
engines may record this information. Celect engines are only accessible using Insite and are
thuslimitedintheirdatastorageability.DatacanbeextractedfromCelectPlusenginesusing
Powerspec;howeverthesedataarelimitedtotrip,configuration,andfaultinformation.

Some Cummins engines may use a secondary Road Relay recording system. This device is
located in the cab, within view of the driver. A Road Relay module has the ability to store
suddendecelerationinformation,eveniftheECMdoesnot.TheRoadRelayisaccessibleusing
PowerSpecsoftware.

Availabledatamayincludewheelspeed,enginespeed,clutchuse,andcruisecontrolstatus.

Publicly available software, which is known as Vehicle Computer Aided Diagnostic Software
(VCADS), will allow the user to retrieve general programming information. Fault code
snapshots are for a single moment in time, and surrounding information is not captured.
Therefore, given the limitations of VCADS, it is recommended that precautions be taken to
