The E* is a *45#+ and the *ali)ration that was in my engine was the original from when the truc, was new. I run %inu& on all my computers )ut you can run 'indows as you li,e+ so I used 6'ARE to create a 'indows3P$Promachine with a *orporate ,ey so that it needed !O Internet connection whatsoe-er.

There is a downside to these settings+ and that is that *opy$Paste will !OT function to;from the host any more+ so if you want to transfer something to;from the 6 from the host+ you will need to do it -ia emory stic,. I then set up some engine software that included Insite 5.N+ Inline+ ault*hec,+ PowerSpec N.(+ and *alterm . on it and got them all registered 9not going into detail a)out that<.

After that I Re$ran *alterm and went to Options$H Security and chose %iscense file upgrade+ and chose my hac,ed *alterm=7+lic file then upgraded. After that+ all the options were now a-aila)le in the left window. The ne&t thing I did was get *alterm set up with my D%A. I went to Options$HDatalin,+ and set up the D%A. In my case+ I had to choose the following... ProtocolM #K7K AdapterM RP#(#2a $$Q this is the correct setting for an I!%I!E$N adapter. 6endorM *ummins Inc. De-iceM De-iceID$(2+*O(+I!%I!E ;N #K7K Tool AdressM 2&4A $$Q I changed the default so that there is no interference from other de-ices in my truc,. I sa-ed the parameters and closed *alterm and )efore going any further+ I ensured there was !O E* passwords in the E* )y using the Insite appit software and deleting A%% E* passwords including the OE. I also ensured that I had the meta$file for my engine+ or at least one that was close to my *45#. All meta$files are stored under the/cMV*altermIIIVecfg/ folder. or my engine+ the closest one I found was done so )y opening the files one at a time and reading the 3%code at a)out line ## or so. There is a line that that reads /Qmodule=nameH*45&Q;module=nameH/ for the correct file that goes to the*45#. The other files will read a different E* type. I actually too, the time to rename all the files in the folder so that I would notha-e to loo, inside them again to see what E* they )elonged to. At this point+ I then ensured I was still connected with my ca)les and turned the truc, ,ey$switch to the O! position. The ,ey$switch in the truc, AS TO GE O! to connect to the E*+ 0ust li,e in the Insite software. Re$ran *alterm+ and *hose /Select Product/ from themain menu. I chose /Eagle$Red/ from the menu as this is the closest product representation for my IS3 Engine. !e&t I *hose/Tools$HUnloc,/. I clic,ed on the /ind de-ices/ )utton+ and ensured the 2&22 was listed in the de-ice address )o&+ then chose /Display*ur. Status/ and saw that the E* security was set to Secure. I chose the )utton /Switch/+ and it changed to /Unsecured/. I then *hose J22D under module status and chose the /Apply/ )utton. or some reason+ 0ust choosing /Switch/ without re$ applying the J22D option caused the E* not to stay unloc,ed+ )ut setting the J22D and Apply options made it stic,. I closed the Unloc, feature and chose /Open odule/. At this point+ I had to choose again /Eagle Red/ from the top list+ then I selected the configuration file 9the *45& metafile I had found< from the file chooser+ then hit /Automatic/. I got a warning message for the configfile not matching the actual module config+ )ut the -ersions were -ery close. One ended in 2.77 and the actual module ended in 2.K# Ithin,. This is perfectly o,. If you get an I!%I!E adapter firmware warning+ then this is !OT o,. This will cause many pro)lem when hac,ing the E*+ so correct the pro)lem if you ha-e to+ or upgrade *alterm to match the I!%I!E firmware. y Inline frmware is N.J and my *alterm is 7.J.224 and they match. 9irmware N.7( reuires *alterm 7.J.225<. 'hen the screen opens all th way+ then Press 5 on the ,ey)oard to remo-e the circle$slash from the Screwdri-er sym)ol at the )ottom of the screen. This puts the software in Editmode. If your E* is unloc,ed properly and ready for editing 9from using the Unloc, Tool<+ then you will also see a sym)ol at the )ottom of the screen that loo,s li,e a padloc, that has )een opened. If the padloc, is closed+ then you will ha-e to use the Unloc, Tool again to get it unloc,ed. The E* UST )e unloc,ed )efore you can ma,e A! changes to it.'ith the E* Unloc,ed+ first thing is first. ou need to add the
Engineering Security ey as the first entry in screen 2 to monitor. This will ensure later+ when you ma,e changes to the E* that the Unloc, setting gets sa-ed to any *A% files you might create+ as well as tell you its current state whene-er you load or re$load a cali)ration. To do this+ choose the first )lan, spreadsheet$loo,ing field in screen2 and press #. And search for /engr=sec/. *hec, the little chec,)o& ne&t to the /=Engr=Security=ey/ paramater and choose/Apply/. 1oing )ac, to Screen 2 should now show the paramater in the first field and also show /DISAG%ED/ for its current setting. If this is the case+ then you are good to go for editing the odule. AE A GA*UP I%E IRST" *hoose /Upload/ from the main menu and ma,e a )ac,up of your E* )efore going any further. This will ensure you can reco-er from a failed download+ or a parameter change that might corrupt the E*. During the Upload ; Download process+ it is not unusual to get some alarms on the dash of the truc,. This is )ecause the E* is put in )oot$ loader mode and ta,en out of Application mode during the upload. After the upload is done+ add parameters to Screen 2 that you want to change. !ote that not all parameters are edita)le. any parameters are hard$coded+ )ut this really doesn/t limit you much )ecause somewhere else in the thousands of parameters is the )ypass+ or actual edita)le setting to replace it. One thing that helped me in finding edita)le parameters is the descriptions. ust a)out any description that has the words /Tells the Tool/+ or /informs the Tool/ are !OT edita)le. These are output parameters only that actually are 0ust Outputs of other settings and results. any of the -aria)le names include prefi&es to indicate their functions+ or e&le+ *= indicates a user$ad0usta)le control+ and T= indicates a control toggle. EO= indicates a function related to emissions management. There are many other prefi&es+ and learning what they mean )y studying the comments is -ery helpful. any parametersare *opies of others with a d ifferent name+ so )e thoughtful and in-estigate thoroughly )efore choosing something to change or monitor. Anyways+ 'hen you ha-e some parameters selected and you Edit their -alue+ If the E* will let you change them+ then the6alue field will turn ellow indicating there was a change. a,e your changes to all fields desired+ then use the /Sa-e/ )utton at the topto actually commit them into temporary ram$space in the E*. These changes will stay until the power is cycled on the E* 9the ,eyswitch in the dash of the truc, turned off+ then on a again<. This ma,es it easy to change something and then test it without screwing up your E*. To permanently change something+ you need to get a little creati-e. irst+ Set all the changes you want to ma,e+ Then use the /Sa-e/)utton to send them to the E*+ then *hoose the /Upload/ function from the main menu. Upload the file and sa-e it as a *A% file. After that+ ou will need to choose /Download/ to Download it GA* to the E*. The E* will then ha-e the edited file as its main *ali)ration file and the changes will then )e permanent. ou can compare the module+ or the new cal file to your original )ac,up to see what changes you ha -e made if you get lost along the way using the compare tool.If you decide for some reason to hac, a .ecfg or .cal file directly then there is a tool to Re$certify the file/s *R*. ust choose /*R*iles/ from the main menu and select the hac,ed .ecfg or .cal file and then add them to the list and choose o,. They will )e updated with the new *R* info permanently. I hac,ed my .ecfg to ma,e it match my e&act engine cali)ration software -ersion to eliminate the warning messages whene-er I opened the odule Editor this way.

Derates an% En$ne (rotecton Sh"t%ons''' There are tons of parameters that deal with derates and engine shutdowns. Searching parameter names that include /DRT/ or /EPD/ inthe name are almost always related to derates. Some derates will cause an alarm in the dash+ )ut there are many that are silent. Silent derates are in place to protect the limits of the engine components and happen on a regular )asis as a normal part of engine operation.The conseuences of turning them off may )e se-ere+ depending on what it might )e+ if the dri-er of the truc, is not aware that those components can now )e pushed )eyond their intended limits. Disa)ling A%% derates will impro-e performance and fuel mileage for the engine+ and )ecause I dri-e my own truc,+ and no one else does+ I disa)led them A%% rather than try and sort them out.Engine protection shutdowns can also )e eliminated so that when a shutdown alarm occurs+ then engine will not )e effected )y it. The )ad thing+ is that if your engine runs out of oil+ it can destroy itself in short order+ )ut the good thing is that you can )ypass or unplug acomponent or sensor that may ha-e failed+ li,e your E1R -al-e+ or DP can without it shutting you down. iretruc,s+ school )uses and other emergency -ehicles are often set this way so that in an emergency+ the -ehicle can still )e mo-ed.
