Caterpillar Engine Diagnostic Scan Tool
Caterpillar is a name to reckon with when it comes to heavy machinery and industrial equipment. The company’s products have the stamp of reliability, durability, and performance. Additionally, Caterpillar engines drive a wide range of applications, from marine to mining, from construction to power generation.
Caterpillar has a diverse engine product variety, including diesel and natural gas options. If you are looking for heavy-duty applications, Caterpillar diesel engines, known for their robust performance and fuel efficiency, are hard to beat. Natural gas engines are typically used in applications needing lower emissions and cost-effectiveness.
Additionally, Caterpillar offers engines with various power ratings so that you can choose machinery or equipment to be in sync with your needs without overloading them. It is important that Caterpillar engines are also compliant with various emission regulations, and you can choose one that is compliant with the regulations in your area of work.
For owners of machinery and equipment powered by Caterpillar engines, the Jaltest Caterpillar engine diagnostic scanner is a must-have tool. It is also very useful for service centers of Caterpillar equipment and engines. In case of any fault code popping up on the display panel of the onboard computer in your equipment, simply connect your Jaltest laptop to it, and you are ready to start fault code analysis and clearance.
In subsequent sections, we will see how our Jaltest CAT engine diagnostic software works and what cutting-edge advantages it brings to the table. Apart from Caterpillar engines, the Jaltest scanning and diagnostic software is also available for other applications. These are commercial and construction equipment, material handling equipment, and more.

Advanced Capabilities of the Caterpillar Engine Scanner
When you invest in our Jaltest Caterpillar engine diagnostic tools, you have one of the most advanced diagnostic software systems with cutting-edge capabilities. You can carry out full system scans at regular intervals to ensure that any minor issues and fault codes do not remain unidentified and become a major problem, leading to downtime.
Additionally, the software facilitates troubleshooting by symptoms, where any Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is quickly identified with the Caterpillar engine fault code diagnostics and resolutions initiated to bring the equipment or machinery back on the job. Using the diagnostic tool, technicians can immediately recognize, repair, and clear issues in the premises at a standard that is equal to dealer-level servicing.
With Jaltest Caterpillar engine diagnostics, repairs, and fault code clearing are more accurate and faster, making for more engine productivity and performance.
Extensive Coverage of Caterpillar Engine Diagnostics
The Jaltest Caterpillar diagnostic scanner is a one-stop tool that offers extensive coverage of Caterpillar engines, machinery, and equipment in various sectors. Among its exclusive features is live data monitoring that displays real-time measurements of crucial systems and components, such as fuel pressure, engine speed, and sensor readings for temperatures.
Another critical aspect of the Jaltest software capabilities is parameter settings and calibrations. Even though Caterpillar engines have standard factory calibrations and parameter settings, you might have to reset them to make sure that engines give their best performance even in challenging conditions. Parameter settings help you adjust ECU configurations and program existing or new control units.
Our Jaltest CAT engine scanner is very user-friendly. From the menu, you will be closely guided to perform active diagnostics, activate components, and perform injector buzzing and compression tests.
Compatibility With Jaltest CAT Engine Scanner
The Jaltest Caterpillar engine diagnostic scanner is compatible with a range of engines used in various applications. The C4.4 and the C7.1 engines are widely used in water pumps, air compressors, generators, tower lights, and more.
Caterpillar C4.4 Engine: Applications include small to medium mobile construction equipment such as skid steer loaders, mini excavators, and compaction equipment.
Caterpillar C7.1 Engine: Applications include mid to large-sized excavators, loaders, and backhoe loaders that demand higher power for earthmoving and digging operations.
Apart from these two models, the Caterpillar engine diagnostic software can be used for other models of CAT engines too. Hence, you have the CAT C15 engine fault codes reader, Caterpillar tower light fault code reader, Caterpillar loader diagnostic software, and more.
With the diagnostic software, you can take up complex activities like force regens that clear up accumulated soot in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This action increases the performance of diesel engines and prevents them from going into limp mode.
Caterpillar Engine Fault Code Clearance
Fault codes or Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are diagnostic signals from electronic engines. Whenever one is displayed on the onboard computer, connect the Jaltest Caterpillar engine diagnostic scan tool to the computer to identify the malfunction.
These fault codes are in alpha-numeric format. An SPN (Suspect Parameter Number) is combined with an FMI (Failure Mode Identifier) for more specific diagnostics. Some examples are SPN 178 for low engine oil pressure and 1302 for high coolant temperature. All these codes, their analysis, and rectification solutions are provided by the Jaltest software.
The Jaltest Caterpillar engine fault code diagnostics is updated three times every year. This is to ensure that the scan tool covers any technical innovations made to CAT engines over the year and that the software never becomes obsolete.
