CAT0259DAW////CW917475
OK. So local CAT service is 3 weeks out or so. I'm the mechanic and figured I will give it a look. Cant hurt with an extended wait for Cat service so I pull the Event and diagnostic codes from screen inside machine.
2687-8 right drive motor speed sensor #1 abnormal
2688-8 right drive motor speed sensor #2 abnormal
3700-3 Loader Bucket Inclinometer voltage above normal
events are listed as E570-2 Unexpected right motor forward speed detected. Check sensor/wiring
E875-2 Low system voltage
so, i found good info on this forum for the codes with a schematic courtesy of Nige in a different thread. Test for 8 volts on harness under cab at plug , both sides. Good solid 8 volts. On a prayer i ordered the track speed sensor ( in stock ) and picked upFriday. Installed today.with it apart i was able to Load test the harness from the main harness to sensor. Used a headlamp and tested the integrity of the harness that runs through the body to back of final drive. checked that the reluctor ring was inrtact and tight. It was. I did not remove tracks and spin final driveto check if reluctor wheel was fully intact. since i had pulled undercarraige off pins i didnt want to run it etc. Read that machine needs to see tracks running off of ground in order to clear code or at the very least allow machine to function properly with a historical code? Not a CAT guru and dont know if they store inactive codes in history like trucks etc. So, after a minute or so after putting together and running forward off idle it locks me out with the E570-2 . Need some guidance if anyone has any insight. I guess before i throw in the towel i will test from the under cab harness to the ECM for circuit integrity/Continuity. No pin out at my disposal but I should be able to determine which opins are what, hopefully.
anyone seen anything from these newer 259'S with the ECM or an update for this problem? Hoping to get CAT software capabilities but were not there yet. dissapointing outcome for sure with many solved with a new sensor. Sensor harness is definitely solid as it can carry current to light a headlight bulb on both supply/return side and signal side. I appreciate any help. Maybe i can update if a can find no problem with harness between under cab plug and ECM. Less than 300 hours.
thank you for reading.
