CAT ET Adapter III FAQ:

Q1 :Is the Cat Comm III compatable with the software CAT caterpillar ET 2019C Is this an actual caterpillar part or a knock off? Thanks
A1: Yes, this is actually the genuine CAT adapter,It is also the ONLY recommended adapter for CAT ET, but obviously other ones will work. It will work fine for the version you have, and 2011C is actually the newest version.

Q2:What is the difference between a cat comm II & Cat Comm III. Is one just a usb connection and one serial? Also, will this unit work with my Cat 3126B marine units? Seriel no. 3GS01797 Thanks
A2:CAT Comm II was a serial port model, but since computers are no longer made with serial ports, they changed the design to a USB and called it a CAT Comm III. So you are correct. This unit works with all CAT engines — Marine, on-highway, and off-highway. On Marine units, I’m not sure where they put the plug, but it should be somewhere near the ECM (Typically). It should be either a 6 pin or 9 pin connector.

Q3: Does this work with CAT 3500 natural gas engines and 3600 natural gas engines? Thanks.
A3: If those programs use CAT Electronic Technician (CAT ET) for the software, it will work.

Q4: Can the cat communicate3 also be used to read detroit and cummins engines if I have the correct software?
A4:Yes, it reads both J1708 and J1939 so it can read both of those. Keep in mind that this adapter only comes with the J1939 adapter end, so I would recommend purchasing the J1708 adapter end from me as well if you plan on connecting to some older stuff.

Q5:will this unit allow me all access to the ecm to alter all areas eg set speed limiter to a lower speed and is there a yearly lic fee.
A5: This device is what you should use if you will be hooking up to both off-highway & on-highway CAT engines. If you are strictly wanting to work on on-highway CAT engines, I would rather see you purchase a Nexiq USB Link .The Nexiq USB Link is universal (Works with CAT, Cummins, Detroit, Allison, etc…), it is cheaper, plus it has bluetooth so you can go wireless.

Q6: want to compare the communicator and some caterpillar ECMS could tell me if it works with them.
A6: This item works with all CAT ECMS — Off Road and On Highway, trucks and equipment

3. Open Internet Explorer

Input the IP address which is deteced above to the address bar: like http://169.254.92.38:60080

I have a w176 (a gasoline with 270 engine year 2013) and it is a pain in the ass. The car came with a platform because it would not start. I run a quick test using the SD Connect C4 mux and all control units were clear. i tried to start the car but the engine would half turn and stop. Something was cutting it off electrically. Furthermore, with out any obvious reason, the engine fan started working and the communication with the engine was lost. i have discovered that the the engine control was loosing a ground point. that is why the engine fan started. i have put an outside earth and the car came back in engine turning and cutting out electrically. I have tried everything.

checked all fuses and relays (including the mini relays)
replaced terminal 30g relay
replaced exhaust camshaft sensor
checked crank sensor with oscilloscope and looks ok
tried second key
guided test for drive authorization (all ok)
and many many more

still no fault codes.
any ideas are welcome. thank you

Suggestion from the experienced:

The problem with most technically inclined individuals trying to fix a dead engine is that we tend to quickly forget ”THE BASICS” ingredients for combustion to take place just so the engine may run!

1. Check for spark, is it there throughout or intermittently or not there at all,
-Famous L5, ECU, DI coils, e.t.c
2. Check for fuel rail pressure ( challenging on any A-class but doable if u want it to start and run),
furthermore M270 has piezo direct injection. so u have to find a way to confirm that fuel is delivered (repair fuel system accordingly)
3. Check for compression and make reference to specific values in WIS.
