Here is a more detailed explanation for you.

A. Full Load Setting (FLS)

A computer programming code number programmed at the factory to “fine tune” the fuel system to the iron set of the
engine. The FLS is used to adjust fuel up or down as much as 5% if needed to compensate for normal production
tolerance of the iron parts in the engine. Correct value for this parameter is stamped on the engine information rating
plate. This parameter typically needs to be changed ONLY when a reason code 5 rerate (iron or family change) is
performed on a pre-ACERT engine. Programmable from –128 to +127. This parameter is called “intercept” at the
factory.

B. Full Torque Setting (FTS)

Similar to FLS. FLS fine tunes the fuel rate at full load speed. FTS fine tunes the fuel rate at peak torque speed. This
parameter is called “slope” at the factory. New FLS & FTS values can be found in TMI web when performing a reason
code 5 rerate

C. FINDING FLS & FTS FOR REASON CODE 5 RERATE ON PRE-ACERT ENGINES
1. Not needed on ACERT engines. All ACERT ratings are developed from the same iron set
2. Go to SIS web and navigate to “TMI web”
3. When the “welcome to TMI” page opens, type in the “Test Spec Number” of the new rating in the “Reference Number”
field.
4. In the next field to the right, click the down arrow and select “Test Spec Number”.
5. Click the “Retrieve Data button and the test spec information should appear.
6. In the serial number box, click the down arrow and select the serial number that is closest to your engine without
going over.
7. Scroll down to the FLS & FTS values.
8. Change FLS & FTS to 0 / 0 when rerating to a “field uprate only” rating (not offered from the factory)
