    Cat 289c

    "I seem to remember reading a thread on here where someone was unable to get their machine to calibrate the tps. I can try to see if I can find it, but I think it came down to making sure the throttle cable’s where properly adjusted, and possibly even had to get a new cable. In said thread...

    Cat 289c

    100%. I had futzed around with the connectors before I could spell CAT ET, so learning as I go here. It's not bad software and facilitates baseline as you indicated. Appreciate the inputs.

    Cat 289c

    Hope that works for you. I have been complacent on updating here. I did get CAT ET setup and connected to my machine to investigate any issues. There some logged codes. 1704-5,6 and 1705-5,6 which are Left Drive Pump Reverse control solenoid current above and below normal and Right drive pump...

    Cat 289c

    Nige, the serial number containing C does not indicates it is 287C? It does have the exclamation point when turning key on along with the other lights. My full serial number is 0287CTMAS01631. If this is not a C then it is square one and if no tps then most of the previous discussion on the...

    Cat 289c

    One question regarding machines without the diagnostic display. If there is a code on the machine doesn't it have a way to indicate to the operator that a code is stored? Like the check engine light on a car. I guess I am wondering why it is necessary to connect ET just to find out if you have...

    Cat 289c

    Is it possible to download a schematic of the electronics from some online source? My background is electronics so I would like to understand this even if the diagnostic check doesn't yield a code.

    Cat 289c

    This is true. I have not spent much time to consider how the electronics interact with the hydraulics. My thinking was that the pressures would guide me to an area of interest but a diagnostic read on the machine first makes sense. For reference the machine (which I recently purchased) is cat...

    Cat 289c

    On reading through the various messages I found a hydraulic schematic that Nige had provided previously in this forum. I spent some time to understand it. I read electrical all day but that didn't help as much as I thought it would. I mostly understand but just the schematic is not enough. I...

    Cat 289c

    I just joined this forum to investigate this exact issue for new to me cat287 C2 with 2089hrs. It is the worst when first started. If I throttle it up it will move out but probably not max speed. Seems to reverse fine when it slows going forward and the work tool moves fine. Are you experiencing...
