Caterpillar XXXXX.fls flash file writing

[leighsus]

I'm unfamiliar with alternating/rewriting existing .fls files...
If anybody is already doing this could you point me in the correct direction... I have figured out how to read .fls in IDA PRO some what rewrite .fls files but its more like cutting and pasting to make a file. I'm trying to accomplish 1000hp ecm flash file..

[jrdztech]

Hi there, I am a noob here, but I want to be an active contributor, I don't know how to do what You requested but have the big question for You, Why would You go to 1000 HP?
Remember that the engine and components are designed to withstand certain specs and when You go beyond them something bad it's bound to happen.
I would like to know what kind of engine are You going to blow away with that kind of power if You are able to achieve.
Are You a Cat Tech?

[leighsus]

If I was a Cat tech I would not be asking for help...
The company I work for has a few engines on the
road. one is a 6nz 750hp to the ground pete that
makes stupid mpg by controlling the fuel. temp, flow,
transfer pump, fuel heater, fuel cooler, evans waterless
coolant, fuel mode, trim codes adj to flow exactly the same,
extrune tips, custom built injs, too much to list

1000hp is just a number... It's the driver behind
the wheel that controls the out come of the engine.
Some ppl buy pp for the power, they use it for the
power and it just doesn't last. I do everything to
save fuel (MONEY)

[tlimsi]

I know two guys who have done it but they won't help. If anyone has advice please PM me. I am very interested as I am working hand over fist to figure it out.

I think the guys that are modifying the fuel tables and timing with the Cat flash files are using a Cat flash file editor program. I've never seen it before or heard of whats its called.

[jrdztech]

Hello again leighsus, and Happy Holidays for everyone.
I beg to differ on Your CAT Tech comment, cat techs are not the maximum authority on cat mechanics, they have all the information available and a ton of tech support, but more often than You may think cat techs have to ask tech support for help.
I know You are all about saving money, and I understand and respect that, but first, the most horse power You want out of your engine, the more fuel You will consume, regardless of any fancy upgrades or custom components you may install in such engine.
Second, if you really want to get more HP out or your engine on a safe way, visit your local dealer and request them to get the file for you, they have to get it from factory anyway, since the file has to be written specifically for the individual engine, it may cost you some money but in the long run you will save on parts and repairs compared to going the "hacker" way, the file will be written so the HP can stay within the CAT engine specs.
Now, if you really want to save fuel, keep your engine stock, service your rig properly and drive at least 5 miles slower than usual, that will save a lot of money with time.
It's working for me, it has for the last 3 years.
Also, I will recommend you that use Cat filters and oils, they may be more expensive, but you get more life out out them and your engine will stay cleaner, aftermarket filters and oils are good, but not as good as cat's.
Any way, that's only my humble opinion, I don't mean to upset you or offend you by it.
Happy NEW YEAR!!

I`ve also heard about the progam, master cat et or flash file editor but I can`t find any info about it.

[leighsus]

jrdztech. Your obviously not a fan of After Market Parts.
Well It's my buisness and how I make an income. So, I can't stop. No offense taken, But watch me closely I change stock drivers in to aftermarket drivers every day.

[jrdztech]

Hello Leighsus, It's not that I am not a fan of aftermarket products, I know there is a lot of them out there and some are very good, in some cases better than the original part.
Till today I believe in brand names because it has worked for me, but I am willing to be educated on that matter if You want to teach me.
Have a great day.

[tlimsi]

I think editing the Cat ECM files is possible with sofware like WinOLS. I am going that direction but its brand new to me.

No offense bud but I'm willing to bet if I got my hands on your ECM you'll take that "CAT" programming and throw it away. First of all you CAN (I do it all the time) take that CAT and increase horsepower AND IMPROVE fuel economy at the same time. You can take a MBN 475 CAT and put out over 600hp's while increasing fuel mileage over 1mpg!
Second, going to the local CAT house and requesting a file for your truck isn't going to put you any better than the truck was to begin with from the factory, as a matter of fact an updated file will more than likely be worse on your engine regarding efficiency. Take an old truck and have it updated with a low-nox file and you'll get my point on that. ALL engines in the same family rating have the SAME program written as far as flash files. Two of the same engine that share the identical Test Spec number and Arrangement will share an identical Flash File. They control the minor fluctuations in horsepower,torque,and emissions using the FLS and FTS settings in the ECM, not the FLASH FILE. Lets see, your pretty close on the CAT filters though, even though CAT has only one plant that makes their own filters it's still managed by Donaldson Co. It pretty much starts off as a Donaldson filter but there are some minor changes made internally to tighten up the specs just a hair. Hope I was of some help...

[BADGASS]

I hate to say it but, I have nothing but problems with cat fuel filters not flowing after 2 or 3000 miles. Low sulfer fuel stinks!! I now use baldwin or fleetgaurd. Really would like to figure out how to edit a file though. Somebody must know something!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I understand your filter problems as I hear it all the time, BUT, a filter that quits flowing after 2 or 3000 miles is ovbiously doing what it's supposed to do right?? FILTERING the contaminants.

[catfan1]

I would agree! I dont believe you can beat the quality of the cat filters. Been using them for 20 year only had a problem with one oil filter that busted inside and cat paid for the engine. As going to the cat house for flash files I agree with Chris.

[trucks]

PM me for file editing if interested....
We look for program to edit fuel,timing tables not just too swap program in ecm and change fls,fts. For more power. Do u have acess to program like this?

[BADGASS]

So far not to my knowledge. We are still hoping that someone will help out. :cheer:

LOOKING FOR CAT FLASH FILE FOR C7 KAL29349 I HAVE A FEW FLASH FILES FOR C7 ACERT BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THEY WILL WORK THEY ARE NOT SHOWING ANY INTERLOCK CODE AND IT SAYS FULL FEATURE SOFTWARE ANBODY KNOW IF WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS ? THE FILE NUMBER IS 3410808 DID THE FIRST ACERT ENGINES NOT USE INTERLOCK CODES ? THE THANK YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY

Chrisn27,Hello friend. Check your PM:cheer::cheer:

[leighsus]

If you have a frame mounted fuel filter. spin off the filter i gurantee that there is fuel only half full in it. Tap the fuel head and put a stand pipe on it that is not to long. that way you wont have so much air/fuel.

Well I have all the best codes for injector trim codes. I put all those in. makes 100+hp more I change fls/fts to better numbers by determing the pm. another 50 to 100+hp. Then a flash and config of the ecm could be up to 320+hp 800ft-lbs.
many mods you have to do so it can handle the power they add hp as well.
Flashing the ECM determines alot. This is a before or after mods. I could make It have a sh*t load of power and run rough. Or It could have almost a sh*t load of power and run smooth.

The point is it's all in the mapping of the flash file.

You say you can add 100hp just by changing trim codes in the injectors?

[catfan1]

There has to be another way to change timing,hp or torque that having to reflash the ecm. It has to be a Master ET or something out there. I know its not the same but I remember being in a Cat class when we were going over Iqan on machine. And this instructor had a master Iqan or whatever but it was beyond ours. I could actually change inputs and outputs of the computer on the machine. You could make the horn button lift the boom if you wanted.
Someone some were has a program or mater et that can change what ever in a language we can understand. It will be like Microsoft Windows comparted to us trying to figure out Dos.

[chrisn27]

Depends on your enigne, trim files are actually used to "balance" each injector to a specified value. Cat injetors(after built/assembled) will vary in flow/cc injected. You build 100 engines with the same components the horsepower will not be exactly the same. That goes for injectors as well. So the "trim code/file" is used to balance the injectors so they will inject the same amount of fuel for each cylinder. Hence a smooth running engine. Installing certain trim files will net a power increase, there is one or two codes (NON-ACERT engines) that will produce 40-50hp to the wheels. Dyno proven results. However thats not the best way to increase power by installing all the same number codes on the same injector. There is a possibility that one injector will inject more fuel than the other. Due to wear and Cat's tolerance of the injector. The key is to increase the cc amount injected by each injector using trim codes,but at the same time balancing each injector with an equal amount.


You say you can add 100hp just by changing trim codes in the injectors?

[leighsus]

Like Chrisin27 Had said each Trim code determines a value of fuel it puts out. If you take the top off of a solenoid it will also add more fuel if you take a thousands of an inch off the brass shim. I would not try unlesss you have studied and retained alot of knowledge about the fuel system. I know the value for each injector code and which Inj codes do not work on C15. 5232 is a generic cat dyno code as well as 6669. There are many better.
There are ways of making your engine being able to handle the fuel and the power.
Extrude honed head. Ceramic coated head. ceramic coated injector cups. Ceramic coated Injector... stuff.
When a customer buys any set of injectors that I have built. I run the best code in all 6 cyl on a 5 cyl.. yes a 5cyl cut out test ( cat et 2000 ) then What ever is the highest number "cc" I take and change the other trim codes accordingly to flow the exact same as the highest "cc".
I wish I new how to upload pics to amaze you all...

Are u doing Trims Calibration by Cylinder cutout?

How do you determine a trim value for the other injectors?
Converting injector contribution ( cut out test ) or injector flow to a trim value?

[leighsus]

Cat ECM determines the value. I ran Every single number in 1 cyl on a truck at 189* to find out what puts out the most and the least "cc" and wrote the valuse down for each number there fore. If you have one bad injetor I can make it pass. Or I can take the other 5 inj and make them put out less "cc" like the one that is failing.

you can only use that method on the ADEM IV 32 bit or newer ecms

[Jari00]

leighsus are you getting the fls into editable binary ? If so I'd love to know more. I am interested in remapping cat files and not just replacing them.

[leighsus]

you can only use that method on the ADEM IV 32 bit or newer ecms
Actually I my self can do it on everything but Acert Trucks. Well I can still do the 5 cyl cut out just not flow codes....

[sreeindia]

Any body have new flash file for 950G wheel loader.Because i was changed transmission housing (1863402). for this housing do not have speed sensors. so i would like to upgrade new flash file. for sis reference please read(SERVICE MAGAZINE 2003/01/27. MEDIA NO:SEPD 0664-00.) MY M/C.Sl.No: 5FW00860. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

[Jari00]

Hello Leighsus. Can you share some more information on your methods of editing CAT programming files. I am very interested to know which editing tools you use, as well as any other information you have. Am most interested in opening .fls in editable binary and determining / changing values. Please share what you know.

Thank you

do u have to use cat ET 2000

That's what I was talking about, only the ADEM IV 32 bit or newer ecm give you individual injector fuel flow numbers.

[leighsus]

ET 2000 for 5cyl cut anything newer does not have it. I do not have enough Information to share on editing because I can't do it right... So why share it, don't want people doing it the wrong way...

[Jari00]

ET 2000 for 5cyl cut anything newer does not have it. I do not have enough Information to share on editing because I can't do it right... So why share it, don't want people doing it the wrong way...

Thanks:beer:

[POWERFREAK]

Has anyone made any progress on modifying cat calibrations. I am sure many will apperciate any insite anyone can give. Thanks in advance.

[Alligator]

97Et should have the 5cyl cut out...

[Jari00]

making progress with 40 pin ecm

[Alligator]

There are 3 places PDI, Diesel Spec, Jball elctronics that are using flash file editing software. I have come to the conclusion that they are not editing the xxxxx.fls but editing the configuration (being it is an .xml file) What I know you need is an XML editor, & CheckSum Calculator. Don't forget you'll need the file your editing. I have not done this yet due to the fact I need the programs.

[home0300]

I would agree! I dont believe you can beat the quality of the cat filters. Been using them for 20 year only had a problem with one oil filter that busted inside and cat paid for the engine. As going to the cat house for flash files I agree with Chris.
where can i find ccccam for gemini manual installaton

[Jari00]

I've come to the same conclusion. Reading binary data from a 40 pin ecm for example is not a problem. Editing it is the trick we're all working on.

[Alligator]

I've come to the same conclusion. Reading binary data from a 40 pin ecm for example is not a problem. Editing it is the trick we're all working on.
I have no problem reading them... Just changing parameters maybe you can help me out a little with this unpublished CAT software I'm using! What is your email?

[trucks]

If you have unpublished cat software to read and edit ecms i would also be interested.can u pm me? or at least tell name of program.maybe i can help you with parameters to change

[Strykerforce]

Hope all of you making progress in ECM Software Tweaking. Just be careful of what you do m8. It is not just Trial & Error thing. Everything should be done in proper calculations base on design and component limitations. I loved the IDEA of saving money though...

[Jari00]

u learn to be careful after popping an ecm or two :)

[Vitamin]

Have anybody tried to delete DPF from C-13 and C-15 truck engines by the flash file editing?

[Alligator]

Well I'm the original poster for this thread. Yes I'm
leighsus.... Wel I want to get this thread going again as I have found out more info.
1. You need to open up the ecm.
2. If you opened it well you just broke the paper gasket... its for warranty.
3. You need to clamp down with out souldering one of the connectors in the kit that match up to mpc5xx
4. You will need the program that allows you to change
what ever you want.
5. Don't screw up.
What I want to know... Is if anyone already knows a good program?

[Jari00]

Which ecm are you working with ? There are 6 different flavours but 3 major differences. 40pin, 70 pin and 120 pin.

I have started with 40 pin and will continue when time allows.

[Alligator]

just 70 pin non acert...

[GoodPuppy]

Now this is all cool stuff. What kind of interface are you using after you open the ecm. Yes, id really love to have a copy of the unpublished CAT ecm file editor....

I'm all ears and willing to invest in needed software/hardware to share...

thanks

[Alligator]

GoodPuppy.
What information have you shared? It's just you haven't been thanked in any posts.... I'm willing to share info but on the ecm sharing, my lips are tighter then virgin, your just not getting anything.
I've spent 3 years of my time on CAT ecm tuning... Are you gonnna pay me for three years of work since your willing to invest.. My knowledge can be yours for a price. It's to much of a cash cow to share at this time with everyone on DK.

Tools and equipment should be no more than $1000. Software well I'm not sure what software you decided to use so add that price on to tools/equipment

[fatboy63]

without the shit they have at the factory dyno, a way to measure timing, injector flow, flash file editor and so on, you guys are stabbing at a monster in the dark and will have consequences and cost the engine owner alot of money

[shisik]

came to us with a disabled DPF C15 2 errors
particulate trap regeneration inhibited due to temporary system lockout

[Alligator]

Good thing I have a dyno, and all necessary equipment. :)

So two 6NZ motors will have the same flash file? When I look on ET some have a variable torque while others have a set torque. Can I copy one of these ECM flash files and reload it on another truck? i have Cat ET 2011B Dealer version. I assume then that I also need some key when I try to copy the flash file?

Yes, after you copy the new flash file into the ecm, the engine will start but the CEL will be on and you will have no throttle.
if you look in your parameter screen, you will see that your personality module will say not programmed. click on it and another window will pop up showing you what you are changing it from and what you are going to. it will give you 2 coded lines or codes and you will have to get 'factory passwords' in order to finish the flash.

you will need access to a factory keygen

you should always copy your original file before starting to flash. This way you have your original file if something happens during your flash.

hope this helps.

[FritzP]

I will try to shed some lights to this thread. I have been tuning Perkins engines for some years, and Perkins use the same ECM as Caterpillar.
Forget all this about Master ET and flashfile editor. What you need to do are reading out the binary file from your ECM, then edit this file and write it back to the ECM. For reading and writing/programming you will have to use a BDM tool, because this ECM's have a Motorola MPC5XX processor. There are several suppliers of BDM (background debugging module), I personally use BDM100 made by EVC. For reading and programming you will have to open up the ECM. The file you are reading have to be edited by WinOLS. This is a licensed program made by EVC. There are some crack out, but beeing a pro tuner I work with licensed software. You will also need a plug-in to handle the checksum for WinOLS. The BDM100 will read the whole content of the ECM, and not only a partial read. With this feature you can also make a clone of an ECM, or even virginise. There are now lately launched tools from other manufacturer that can flash bin files directly to the ECM without the need for opening, this is the KessV2 made by Alientech. This is very handy when you already have the file readout and just want to make a quick correction, and you can then do so directly through the diagnostic connector. With these tools you can edit and release the hidden power of your Cat or Perkins engine. Editing the files are the real job, and require a lot of experience and testing. Good luck.

New Genius also supports writing bin but kess/genius cannot read. You still need an ori reading for that software version, make mods and then write. BDM100 is a nice tool.. I use Trasdata as well.

Is it possible to just use a BDM to simply clone an ECM? I have a tuned one that's dead and I have a BDM100 but have no idea how to use it.

Yeah it'll clone everything most likely. Basically an exact copy except maybe for the ECM S/N and a few other identifiers.

That's fine, as long as I can pull the flash file off the dead one.

FritzP, what info can you offer me on ADEMIII for altering the flash? Is it the same as ADEM4 as far as extracting with a BDM100?

[FritzP]

Hi, sorry for very late answer, but anyway clarifying for others reading this. No, ADEM 3 can not be read with BDM100, because it does not have the Motorola MPC processor.
This ECM have an older type of Motorola processor, (Motorola CPU 32) however it can be read by didicated equipment over "bdm" pins on pcb.

[CITA = leighsus; 899055] No estoy familiarizado con la alternancia / reescritura de archivos .fls existentes ...
Si alguien ya está haciendo esto, ¿podría indicarme en la dirección correcta ... He descubierto cómo leer archivos .fls en IDA PRO algo que reescribe archivos .fls pero es más como cortar y pegar para hacer un archivo. Estoy tratando de lograr un archivo flash ecm de 1000hp. [/ QUOTE]
me interesa saber de que forma lo estas haciendo
