Cat Remote Services

Remote Troubleshoot enables your Cat® dealer to run diagnostic testing on your connected machine, pinpointing potential issues while the machine is in operation.

Dealer technicians can efficiently diagnose the cause of a fault code or alarm. If a repair is required, Remote Troubleshoot ensures the technician arrives with the correct parts, service tools, and instructions, allowing the repair to be completed correctly in a single visit. This helps your machine be back up and running as soon as possible, saving you time and money.

2. The dealer technician inititates a Remote Troubleshoot session, accessing live machine diagnostics information, and remotely identifies problems.

5. Machine is operating at full efficiency with minimal downtime.

A Remote Troubleshoot session is initiated via the Remote Services website, using a unique link. The machine must be powered on, and can be in operation during Troubleshoot session.

During the session, the dealer will receive critical, real-time information on the machine.

A dealer technician can then arrive on the job site with the necessary parts and tools to performthe required repairs, rectifying any issues quickly and efficiently.

When an eligible asset with the latest telematics hardware requires a software update, your Cat dealer will push available flash files to targeted machines. Next, an authorized user (customer employee or dealer representative) will perform the following steps on their mobile device:
• Confirm the asset is ready to begin flash
• Initiate the flash
• Confirm post-flash performance
