Hey all.
i've been trying to diagnose what is wrong with one of our machines. The throttle does not work, operators are using it with a piece of wire attached to the throttle to manually put it into an operating position (lol)
I went today to take a look. The throttle actuator is a stepper motor with 2 connectors, 4 wires on one and 3 wires on the other. I measured throttle stepper motor the resistance in both phases and its 6 ohms, the same, and the voltmeter displays 0L when measuring cross-phase. Im no expert on the electrical side of things, so im not sure if that means the throttle motor is busted or not
Another thing that I checked was the voltage on the 3 pin connector, cause I saw somewhere that this was the limit switch. The voltage was 13.45 volts and it did not vary when changing the throttle switch from inside the cab. However, the connector had only 2 wires coming from the source voltage (the ECU?) so this was rather inconclusive.
Couldnt check the switch in the cab cause it requires a special tool to remove the bolts. The machine serial number is in the picture attached below, if anyone knows whats next in fixing this thing
