Hitachi excavatoe

the computer on My ex200-2 went out, or some of the computer went out, I have voltage at the pump but Deere said it would cost 10k to fix it so we just bypassed the computer, it burns more fuel but is still working....

How did u bypass the computer I waunt to do the same thing

I am working on a Hitachi EX200 LC-2, the engine stalls or dies if function is held. I have read through tons of articles looking for the answer..
Right now I have correct voltage going to my DP Sensor, but when doing the DP Sensor Voltage test the lowest I can adjust t is 0.8v, (I have the old type sensor with the jam nut and Allen adjust screw) the book says it should be (0.4 +0.15 -0.1v) but sometimes the machine runs fine when you unplug one of the Pump Displacement Solenoid Valves, so I OHM tested both of them and came up with 16.8 - 17.1 ohms of resistance the book says (15.5v +- 1.0v). After all that I tested the Angle Sensor, removed it checked everything and the lowest I can adjust it is 4.87v the book says normal range is (4.40v +- 0.03v).
So with all that I think I have two bad Pump Displacement Solenoid Valves, a bad Angle Sensor, and possibly a bad DP Sensor.
Where do I go from here? I don't really think all 4 items are bad but I guess it's possible.

I talked to a guy today about possible issues wth the main fuel inlet line having a screen on it that gets clogged up. Maybe check that on yours. I checked this one and no such luck.

That 4.4 volts is on the middle wire of the A/S with the pump at full stroke .Sounds like you are in the power wire with 4.8
hope this helps

Thank you for the help, I have double checked myself time and time again on the correct output voltage wire. Most all Hitachi's that I have ever worked on the output voltage is in the middle if it is a 3 prong plug/harness. Thank you though.

Did you check the vo;tage at the harness with the a/s unplugged using the ground wire in the harness ?

Yes, I have tried that and a continuity test. I also pin tested the wires at the computer end. I think I will try another Angle Sensor local instead of from China.

Welcome to HEF helpless;)! Since your issue is not related to the 200 thread you piggybacked on you should start your own thread rather than piggybacking off another. You will get a much faster response that way.
