CAT 950 F II hydraulic oil level warning

[digs2]

My 950 is throwing a warning of low hyd oil ? Oil is full and I just replaced the filters , wondering whats involved in getting to the level sensor ? I see a sensor on the lower region of the tank , looks more like temp by location ?

Do you have serial number?

 

[Nige]

Is this your warning light panel.?
Which one is lighting up.?
Is the SERV CODE icon on the RH side lit up as well.?
Also need the S/N.

I will get the sn #, sorry I don't have it handy . Thanks for the quick responses !

 

[Nige]

S/N makes a lot of things easier but if you can answer the questions above regarding which warning lamp is lit and whether the SERV CODE icon is on we can make a start on helping you.

Ok , here's the sn# 8TK05288 . I apologize for not getting back sooner . Light is the hydrolic oil level , could be number 12 ? not certian . If the pictograph was showing I would be certain. Thanks !!!

 

[Nige]

If it is definitely #12 then that light is for hydraulic oil temperature, not level.

Still need an answer regarding whether the SERV CODE icon is lit up or not.

Ok , i had a chance to do another run test . Its light # 12 and a quick scan with my cat phone with flir is showing hot oil on the filter under the cab . I will try to upload the pics ?
No code present , just light and buzzer with warning light flashing

 

[Nige]

OK, so it is temperature and by the sound of it the alarm is genuine. Approximately what temperature are you seeing at the filter.? What does the hydraulic tank temperature look like.?

 

[digs2]

Nige , I found the level sensor and replaced it . Sure enough that was the culprit . temp was'nt that high in the tank zone .
Once I unplugged the sensor it fired the alarm so I knew I was on the right track .
THANK YOU!!! for the input ! I lucked out , milton cat had sensor in stock in milford , ma
I messed with pics a bit this morning but wasn't able to get them out there? I don't rule the interweb that's for sure !
Now to figure out why the 225 stalls a relief valve when I croud in and curl bucket ? But not always ??
