Tech Question D5G XL

[Jfarris]

My Dozer had been sitting for about 4 months. I started it up and the transmission light is going off on the dash and it's being limited on track speed. When I push the button to increase track speed it'll only go to about 1.5 and no further. Same in reverse. Anyone have any ideas? Hydraulic filter has been changed already. I would rather be able to fix it myself and not take it to my Cat dealer, but transmissions & electrical are out of my league.

You mean the fault light for the Hystat is on, correct..?

If so you must have an Active Diagnostic Code somewhere. I realise you're not an expert electrician but would you be comfortable with jumpering 2 electrical terminals with a short length of automotive wire to get into the Diagnostic Codes..? It really is that simple. Once you have figured out what Code(s) are active there are Troubleshooting Procedures available for every one of them.

 

[Jfarris]

Yes that sounds like something I can handle. Can you explain further what I need to do?

Send me a PM with your email address. Rather than trying to explain I'll send you a document that goes through the procedure with diagrams.

YHM. Come back and let us know what Diagnostic Codes you find.
