I am not changing the power rating. I am only flashing to upgrade, however the flash file I used was just meant for one of the ECMs. The second ECM needs a different flash file which is what I am requesting
Please do you have access to the flash files?
Software Part Number- 3227250-01 (The upgraded version if available will be appreciated) for Adem3(A3) ECM
ECM Part Number- 3482392-01
ECM Serial Number- 1952B060AL
G3500 ASM Softwar
Yes but you can only download or copy a configuration from an ECM to another not the ECM software itself. I believe it works like every other software on your desktop with .exe extension. You cannot download the software to a file, the only way is to have the file extension to install.
Hello,
I am on the field now. After carrying out ignition tests and speed tests on the engine, we found out that one of the cylinders was not firing at all. We carried out continuity test for the ignition harness of this particular cylinder and it passed. I know the ECM circuit driver are...
@Lou Scannon, the issue with swapping is that one of the generators are already working perfectly., the client will not allow a swap.
@MikeL, thanks always for the support. I will carry out all these instructions and give feedback.
@TugboatEng, for this engine, the ECM controls everything regarding the start and stop, if it is losing power intermittently then the shutdown should occur randomly but this particular shutdown is fixed, once you start it, the next 2 seconds is a shutdown without a code on the EMCP. Moreover I...
@TugboatEng, the ECM used 12VDC to power the speed sensors. I do not think we have a problem with mismatched sensors as the engine was running fine before. I have not tested the output yet but while cranking I monitored speed display and they were fine. I will check and measure when I get back...
Mikel,
Yes you have been helpful on these generators, you have provided some feedback before but that was a separate issue and it was for the second generator although same specification. The difficulty with logging the data is that the generator cranks, starts and shutdown immediately (2...
@enginesrus, it is a Caterpillar Electronic Technician, I have tried changing the settings from diesel generator to gas but I am unable to. I will try another ET the next time I am on site although I believe this setting doesn't stop the generator from running because we have 2 of the generators...
Good day all,
The second Caterpillar gas engine PMG3516C that worked perfectly about 3 months ago. I have tried starting it since last week. It cranks, starts but stalls immediately after start-up without any error code on EMCP 4 display or the CAT ET. The stop seems to be an external stop it...
I also observed the solenoid valve shuts immediately after start up and the fuel gauge pressure after the solenoid valve drops suddenly however the pressure before the solenoid valve remains constant as it should. It could be a protection setting but the problem is that it is not announcing so...

@FreddyNurk, thank you for the response. It is connected to the EMCP 4.2 customer control module which was always reading 60Hz even when we graphed it but I believe what must have been happening is that it shuts down the engine a second it loses communication with the MPU. I do agree it could be...
Hello gentlemen @catserveng and @waross. Thank you for your support. I was able to resolve the issue with the generator. So I stated earlier that the generator was converted from 50Hz to 60Hz. For this generator, the speed sensing configuration has two options which you can choose via CAT ET...
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Sorry I have been away for a while.
The Modbus DataLink failure alarm shows up intermittently while the engine is running but it has never shut it down. I just clear the alarm and it keeps running. I do agree a thorough inspection needs to be carried out.
The...
@waross no problem at all. We welcome all suggestions. The main goal is to find a solution like you stated. See my replies in red
Possible changes:
Ambient temperature:
Has there been much change? Yes, there have been changes in terms of weather conditions, some operating parameters due to the...
@waross and @catserveng. Thank you for your replies. Sorry, I should have mentioned that this particular package XQ1475G was procured as fairly used equipment in the Netherlands and we are now trying to commission in Nigeria for a client. As of the time we procured it, it already had...
Good day all,
We have a Caterpillar Gas Generator XQ1475G package with a PMG3516C engine. The features includes but not limited to:
1. EMCP 4.2 local control panel/engine control interface
2. AGC-4/EMCP 4.2 Protective Relaying
3. ADEM Type Electronic Governor
The generator was purchased for a...
