Hi all
I have a new to me machine and it started acting up after a week of using it. At first i thought it was a wiring issue as it was very wet and rainy. When i first would start working the machine in would bog down and stall in most functions. If i worked it gently for a bit it would then start working fine. But as soon as i turned it off i would have to do the same thing again. It seemed to take longer and longer to get it working up to 1/2h. And to the point where it does not work any more. At the same time the digital throttle was not working most of the time. I learned about the hidden switches here on the site and have been using the machine in turtle mode for the pumps and manual for the throttle. Every now and then i will switch it to full auto and it may work for a min then cut out.
I have checked for errors and have the following
E15. Throttle switch
E16 this is prv shorted to ground
E34 throttle lagging
I have been working with a Cat guy who has been helping me solve this but we have not had much success.
The ohms test on the prv is in spec
I have traced out the PRV wiring and it seems fine
I have run a new wire and tried two bypass directly to the controller with no success. See attached diagrams
I just replaced the prv valve as it was not too costly to eliminate this
The controller has a green light
If the error E16 is short in the circuit could it be in the controller?
Will the error codes reset when corrected or do you need to clear them?
Any other suggestions before i buy a new controller?
