    Cat 216 skid steer parking brake issues ECM?

    Compliments on your progress! Have you by chance inspected the back side of the fuse/relay panel? (And the ground) you are looking for charred and/or green living things. Nige mentioned this to me early on in my adventure. It sounds like that you are definitely hot on the trail of your...

    Cat 216 skid steer parking brake issues ECM?

    Attached are pictures of the two locations where these grounds are located on the 226. Sitting the machine- Top side cab to chassis ground over your left shoulder. You may or may not need to raise the cab to gain adequate access for cleaning and inspection. (This where I found a bad braided...

    Cat 216 skid steer parking brake issues ECM?

    This is a bit winded but worth mentioning. Have you carefully inspected the machine chassis to frame and chassis to cab ground points? Including straps, lugs and landing studs? Nige or someone with machine specific knowledge will need jump in here for clarification. But on my 2000 226, there...

    Cat 246c Won't Start

    CanDo used to make an affordable handheld scanner that would read CAT ecm codes (and others). It does not have the ability to set or reset thresholds, pressures or perform other programable functions. Nor can it see historical data stored in the ecm. Its a code reader only. Be sure to thoroughly...

    Short cycling compressor indicates low pressure or high pressure safety switch thresholds are being exceeded. Static pressure (not running) should be approximately the outside ambient air temp. Gauges have a line on the face of them that corresponds to c/f ambient temps and the static freon...

    Cat 216 skid steer parking brake issues ECM?

    Let us know how it goes. Ask questions here- and learn from these guys. I am a nube myself and these guys walked me thru things. I fought an intermittent interlock issue (flashing seat & bar light causing no propel) for four months. Within a few of hours of joining; these guys had dialed-in on...

    2020 Cat 299D3 XE AC compressor not getting power

    Not to step on Nige here, but you do have the wiring diagram specific to your machine serial number? Assuming you do, find the compressor and work backward looking for pressure switches, fuses and relays. If Nige sent it to you, the diagram has hyperlinks embed that that you can click on to move...

    Cat 216 skid steer parking brake issues ECM?

    User ‘Nige’ and other very seasoned cat veterans will jump in soon. I’ll spare you the lecture on bypassing safety devices on these machines. It is very dangerous. Now- while the situation that I experienced with my 2000 226 was different, it had some similar issues. You can search my posts to...

    2020 Cat 299D3 XE AC compressor not getting power

    A/C pressure switches are designed to protect the compressor in the event of low or high pressure condition. The ECM looks for voltage on a certain pin to confirm the system is healthy before engaging the compressor/relay. Pressure switches do go bad. Systems leak and sometimes they are over...

    need help with trouble codes

    I see the site filtered the link. Excellent cyber protection. This is an excerpt of the response that i referred to. Further down in the AI response, it also includes troubleshooting steps… Case code 4731 indicates a problem with the right swash plate sensor, specifically a short to ground or...

    need help with trouble codes

    This is an example of what oogl AI came up with when i searched your year, model and swash plate code. Keep in mind AI is not 100% but it can get your problem solving wheels turning. Most of the time, the AI search response will also provide a link as to where the information came from. And...

    need help with trouble codes

    Do you have the ability to clear the codes with your scanner? You may have already tried this option. But if not, see if clearing the codes clears the problem. If it does great, if it doesn’t they will come right back. Not sure about your machine (mine is 25 years old…), but on some models you...

    Case 90XT Wiring Problem

    They probably removed the wire/connector as you have commented. Can you tell in the diagrams what color (in CAT’s case the number) wires that connect the seat switch to Interlock harness? Connector locations can be mind boggling as well. In my case, I had to raise the cab to gain access to the...

    Case 90XT Wiring Problem

    Do you have access to drawings and diagrams for this machine? While my machine is a CAT, those drawings and diagrams were/are priceless. A number of VERY knowledgeable members jumped in to help me. Even with drawings etc. But it took time for me to study the drawings and nomenclature before it...
