tell the engine what the long address should be5. Call up CV17 and enter the
value required for CV17. You will get a two whistle/horn blast response
6. Call up CV18 and enter the value required for CV18. You will get a two
whistle/horn blast response
In order to determine your required values for CV17 and CV18 you will need to go
to

Feature/Factory Resetting
If all else fails and you aren't sure of something, never fear. You can always get your
engine back to a known state by either performing a Feature or Factory Reset.
There are a couple of ways to reset your MTH PS 3-equipped engine:
- Factory Resets – Clears everything – takes engine to just like it
was when you got it brand new
- Send a decimal 08 to CV 8 to reset everything entirely back to factory
default
- Send a decimal 192 to reset everything except user speed tables
- Feature Resets – There are a couple of Feature Resets that you can use
- Press F20 twice (toggling on then off). This resets the smoke, volume and
lights back to their defaults
- Send a decimal 64 for a Feature Reset. This resets volumes, smoke and
light settings.
- Send a decimal 128 to reset only address values back to factory default
- This is the same as writing 55 to CV55 to engine address 55
