I am brand new to this machine and have read most of the posts about the 490e. I purchased the 1504 and 1505 manuals.
The problem is the hydraulics will stall the machine when raising boom, extending stick and opening the bucket. I started with the angle sensor. The sensor on the machine had the wires ate in too by a mouse and the previous owner had repaired the sensor and put it back on machine. I ordered a new aftermarket sensor ($43). JD sensor was $800(maybe the problem??). In the manual it stated that the sensor should ohm at 850 +/- 50. The old sensor read 848 and the new sensor read 123.
I put the old sensor back on machine and followed procedure to adjust sensor. The voltage I saw was 1.5 v. When I moved the sensor the voltage never changed.
Could the original sensor ohm correctly and still be bad? And could the new sensor be good with the ohm reading being wrong/different?
I have not tried the new sensor yet but may give it a try.
I also checked the wiring harness from the PVC to angle sensor and it checked out good. The fuses checked out as well.
The code light is blinking 5 then 4, same speed. Trying to find this in the manual.
Any suggestions as what to try next?
Thanks
