CAT Caterpillar ET Diagnostic Tool from Caterpillar provide the capability to access Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) from a personal computer. Many job-critical tasks can be performed with an electronic service tool. The user can display the status of a group of parameters (temperatures, pressures, etc.) simultaneously, view active and clear logged diagnostics, display the current configuration of an ECM and much more.
The service tool works with a communication adapter to allow connection to an ECM. A graphical interface makes this software quick to learn and easy to use. A separate pull-down menu for each function enhances the “ease of use.” The version and identification of the ECM is automatically retrieved and is displayed on a summary screen when the program is started. Diagnostic tests and calibrations can also be performed.
Caterpillar ET 2019C is a good replacement for the CAT ET 2018b, 2019A,2019B Electronic Technician Diagnostic Software. Cat electronic technician 2019C is an updated version of the caterpillar dealer diagnostic software.

Step 3 Select the Utilities menu.
Step 4 Choose “Preferences > Modify…”.
