Hello,
I just bought this skid steer a week ago and just had a chance to use it today. (about 3 hours)
Serial # CW901891
I could hear some noise like hydraulic motor loading while at idle and some noise when turning coming from left side, but not sure if this is normal as this is the first CTL I have owned. So I noticed the hydraulic oil was overfilled and drained that out to the green/middle level on the sight gauge. The noise seemed to actually be louder after this so I started to look at codes to see if I could see anything on the advanced display related to the hydraulics.
Now when I was looking at the machine before I bought it, I remembered checking the active codes and I believe I also checked the logged codes but not sure, because I was not that familiar with the advanced displayit. At that time there were no codes.
How long do the logged codes stay on there? Do they have to be cleared by the dealer or will they reset after a certain period with no events? I am trying to determine if they happened today or could have been there and I did not see them when I bought it or possibly the dealer had reset the codes just before I came to look at it.
They Independent dealer I bought it from said that they had just replaced the harness that ran from the front QA to the back of the machine, the "harness for implement connection" . The service record said it was cut and causing an intermittent short. They also replaced the "on-demand fan solenoid"
There were no 'active' codes, all the codes were under 'logged':
E875-1 Low System Voltage Check Battery and Alternator
E875-2 " " " " " "
E569-2 Unexpected Left Motor Reverse Speed
E570-2 Unexpected Right Motor Forward Speed
168-3 Battery Potential Power Input #1 Voltage Above Normal
41-4 8 Volt DC Supply Voltage Below Normal
144-5 Back Up Alarm Relay Current Below Normal
144-6 " " " " " Above "
350-3 Lift Linkage Position Sensor Voltage Above Normal
458-3 Tilt Cylinder Rod End Pressure Sensor Above Normal
1076-5 Engine Coolant Fan Bypass Solenoid Current Below Normal
1076-6 " " " " " " Above "
1627-5 Fuel Pump Relay Current Below Normal
2474-3 Left Joystick Forward/Reverse Position Sensor Voltage Above Normal
2475-3 Right " " " " " " " "
2476-3 Left " Left/Right Position Sensor Voltage Above Normal
2477-3 Right " " " " " " " "
3700-3 Loader Bucket Inclinometer Sensor Voltage Above Normal
3700-4 " " " " " Below "
I have checked the voltage at the battery with a multimeter in 4 states:
Key Off: 13.1 Volts
Key ON: 12.7 Volts
Running low idle: Immediately after starting it drops to 12.2 Volts and slowly climbs to 14.9 Volts
Running high idle: 14.9 Volts
I apologize for the novel, but just trying to figure out if I got taken, should take it to the dealer (not something I want to do) or if there is a set of troubleshooting steps I could go through.
I will eventually get a service manual, but after just buying this was trying to not have to drop ~$1200.00 right now.
Thank you for reading and any help would be appreciated.
