  1. You need to enter the following security code: OE 32 3A.
    Note: The security code must be entered within 10 seconds after the first procedure (1). Otherwise, the time display will return. You should learn the procedure of entering the security code in advance.
  1. The procedure to input information is listed:
    1. The figure that is blinking on the character display (2) can be changed. In order to change the figure, you should depress the boom priority mode switch (23) or the swing priority mode switch (24).
      • The figure that is blinking increases (Boom priority mode switch (23) )


      • The figure that is blinking decreases (Swing priority mode switch (24) )
      The character position that is blinking can be shifted by depressing the fine control mode switch (25) or the user mode switch (26).
      • The character position that is blinking shifts to the right (Fine control mode switch (25) ).


      • The character position that is blinking shifts to the left (User mode switch (26) ).
  1. After you enter the security code, the service mode is activated by depressing and holding the following switches for 2 seconds or greater: travel alarm cancel switch (22), fine control mode switch (25) and user mode switch (26). The service mode is automatically activated 10 seconds after the security code is entered.
  1. Now, the "Service Mode" is activated and the character display (2) will display "10" on the left two character positions and "1" on the right character position.

Mr. Hystat put this together a while back. It shows you how to get into the service mode in a B model excavator.

He also has one on the throttle control backup system.

Thank you so much for these videos. I will follow them tomorrow and see what happens.

Which engine speed sensor did you replace ? There is one in the flywheel that the hydraulic ecm uses. That one has to have clearance set.

The one on the flywheel. A guy screwed it in fully and then backed it out a bit. What is the clearance for it?

If he backed it out 3/4 turn would be ok. You can view the output on the monitor in service mode.

The 345 was built as both B & C models John. C-model production appears to have ended somewhere around 2007-2008.

SIS also lists a 345D model but it appears to have been a Japan-only machine, which of course could always end up somewhere else in the world as a grey market import.
I have a 345DL, in the states.

RAJ 00252. I haven't looked to see where it was made.

It's strange, there is no information on the 345D in the resources I look at. The engine for RAJ00252 was built in Mossville so it stands to reason that the excavator would have come out of the Cat Aurora Plant.
Interesting indeed. I use the customer (free) version of SIS and have looked up parts for it numerous times. Your resources are surely far more comprehensive than what I use.

G..G..G..Granville.........!! Fetch your cloth.
SIS gives the date of manufacture and the date of shipment of a particular machine, but not the build location.
One of my other sources is engine details which is how I came up with the fact the engine was built in the Mossville plant. The Wheel Loader & Excavator assembly plant is at Aurora which is literally just down the road.

The weird thing for me is that IronRecord contains no information whatsoever regarding the 345D.

I finally woke up and thought about how to check this and opened my serial number program which lists the point of origin for each serial number. 345D machines were made in Japan, Belgium and the United States. Prefixes for US made machines are EEH, MLK, and YEE. The only Belgium serial number shows as KFH. All the rest were made in Japan.

My machine is a 345DL VG. As Nige mentioned I do no see any origin through SIS, so out of curiosity I went back to my Performance Handbook #39 and looked it up. It shows the 345DL with fixed gauge as Japan and U.S. sourced. 345DL with variable gauge is U.S. sourced @ 108,610lbs., and Belgium sourced at 115,167 lbs.
None of this matters, just satisfying my curiosity.

Look on the serial number tag on the RH base of the cab. It tells the country of manufacture.

I'm looking at purchasing one of these 345 BL and the throttle won't work as well as the display not turning on. The guy says sometimes it will turn on and then the throttle works fine. From what I'm reading on this forum it seems like this manual switch may have been activated or simply gone bad which would cause both of these issues. Is that a safe assumption? I've never bought one of these before and I'm just a bit nervous that I might be buying something that is going to cost me thousands more to fix. Appreciate any advice! Thanks!
