If you wanted to be sure of what is on the data buss a authorised Cat shop can hook up their computer to the data buss and print out everything in the ECM. I had mine printed out and it was a amazing amount of information. About 10 printed pages.

Thanks Jim
As you may know, all authorized Cat shops are not created equal!
Where is the Cat shop you are comfortable dealing with?
The Cat dealer/shop in my hometown, (Fabco Cat), treats me like the proverbial "red headed stepchild".
What they do best is a tie between NOT doing the work I ask them to do and overcharging for the work they do do WITHOUT ASKING me if I want it done.
In my travels I will try to find another that is willing to accommodate this owner of an "old" Cat in a motor home.
