I picked up a new to me CAT 277B with only 1,300 hours on it, but unfortunately aux hydraulics and 2-speed are not working.
I’ve chased the aux hydraulic problem, and have found the following:
Proportional switch is functional when testing duty cycle at ECM input, Pin # 53. Range from 50% at neutral to 20% and 80% when rolling the wheel forwards and backwards. I believe this confirms that the switch and wiring are sound.
I confirmed continuity between A1 and A2 solenoids and ECM, pins 40 and 58. Believe wiring is sound between solenoids and ECM.
With cab raised and key switched to ON, not running, I do not have any duty cycle signal at Pin 40 or 58 at ECM. I believe this confirms that ECM is toast…anything I might be missing? Any chance the machine needs to be running to get signal through the ECM from the proportional switch to the A1/2 solenoids?
Thanks!
