An upgrade to Tigercat’s latest telematics firmware has added functionality, an improved user interface, and taken advantage of the latest advanced engine diagnostics capabilities. Source: Timberbiz The firmware V4.0 update offers enhanced features for a more comprehensive telematics experience including an updated LogOn web interface, with the inclinometer on the main screen and a dedicated text messaging icon. With the latest update, LogOn puts more diagnostic and repair resource in your hands. Users with RemoteLog equipped machines now have the ability to perform an inducement unlock without the need for an unlock PIN. In addition, the complete service manual for the machine can be accessed with LogOn. The LogOn interface provides easy-to-understand steps to diagnose issues, directly referencing the appropriate section of the service manual. Several diagnostic tests can be initiated directly from LogOn to further diagnose the underlying reason for the fault code. CAN Analyzer can now capture CAN data based on a trigger that can be set to either an ArbID or a PGN. The capture will stop after the specified time post trigger when the trigger is detect-ed, or on the Stop button. A bulk recorder has been added that records all CAN traffic until clicking Stop or when the recording file size reaches a maximum size. A complete Engine ECU Stores Data report is now generated when requesting stored data from the ECU. Engine and aftertreatment diagnostic tests: The Compression Test detects relative low cylinder compression by controlling fuel and measuring crankshaft speed during engine cranking The Runup Test checks the fuel injection system for proper operation and perfor-mance The High Pressure Rail Test checks the fuel rail system for proper operation and performance, including fuel rail pump performance, system leakage, fuel pressure regulator tightness variation, and fuel pressure control instability The Exhaust Flap Valve Test runs a sequence of position requests to the exhaust flap actuator and compares the requested positions to the actual positions Several aftertreatment tests including the Urea Dosing System Test (UDST), Urea Dosing Pump Check (UDPC), and Urea Dosing Leakage Check (UDLC)   Colour coding has been added to the Engine Diagnostics reporting screen to make it easier to comprehend the status of the test. This applies to all the tests available in Engine Diagnostics.
