CAT D4G Starts but does not move

[JuanSpringCat]

The engine starts and blade moves, but park brake light is ON, it does not release. Can someone please share the electrical schematics of D4G (cat00d4gJ FDC00364). It does not move forward nor backward.

If it's a hystat and quit all at once the plastic pump driver plate most likely failed

how do I know?

Need to see if the pump is turning at all I'm not sure where to see it at all I'll do some research

On a d5 i think you lose blade lift too when the coupler fails. Not sure if the d4 is the same.

The hydraulic pump for blade is on the engine accessory drive. Blade functions will operate with striped drive plate. Park break light stays on because there is no brake pressure , because the drive pumps are not turning. Remove or slide forward the engine rather than drive pumps to avoid contaminating the drive system. That method has been mentioned on the HEF before and I use it as well.

You should still have the blade working as the pump is ran off the timing gears on the engine

Just dealt with This. Open door on right side of machine and check pressure on taps 3 and 4. Should see around 350 psi. That is front and rear charge pressure. If not charge pressure it’s the coupler. Like said above implement pump runs off from cover. Pull the cover and boot off the drive joystick. Had one rub the wires into and gave exact symptoms of a bad coupler. Make sure you have good working gauges when checking for pressure or it can Lead you down a bad path.

See post #11 above and follow it to the letter.
I PM'd you the appropriate electrical schematic.

Small side note you may have to hook up the test lines on this 5g I have apart some are disconnected and capped so make sure there hooked up

+1. Why disconnect a leaking test line when you could probably fix it just as easily.?

I have also seen this same set of symptoms when a rat or squirrel chewed through some of my wiring harness......

No clue that's how it was when it showed up here
