Hello folks,
This is an ongoing problem that has evolved so I am still needing some help. My CX240 has no active or stored diagnostic codes, machine ck screens show good in the factory case tech manual. The engine will bog down at exactly 50% on the status screen and 3700psi which also is exactly half the rated boosted hydraulic pressure of both P1 andP2 pumps, and die if pushed further. This is NOT a fuel issue. This happens with any hydraulic function on the machine, even tracking. Installed a fuel pressure gauge after secondary filter and fuel supply to injector pump is 13-14psi when engine stalls. It’s as if the ecm is derating the power to 50%, but no codes are present, not even the 25 or so codes available for the VP44 injector pump. Is there a sensor or controller for the fueling that could be bad that is not throwing a code? Since the engine will die at 3700psi I don’t believe it is hydraulic stall. In the past when I checked P1 and P2 pressures the engine would load but not stall at the spec 5400psi. Local dealer is useless and are parts changers only, with no diagnostic abilities whatsoever. And thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
