The following will cover information that pertains primarily with the return system and components that are controlled by the machine ECM.

When using this manual for the troubleshooting of the electrical system circuits, the complete electrical system schematic for your machine should also be used. Quick reference electrical connection diagrams are included throughout this manual. However, these diagrams do not show the machine wiring harness connections that are part of the circuit. The complete electrical system schematic illustrate all machine wiring harness connectors and the locations on the machine.

Electronic Control Module (ECM)

Machine ECM

The machine ECM is the control module that will use the programmed control logic to manage the operation of most of the machine functions. The machine ECM will use the data from the various input devices to determine the appropriate output response to operator commands.

The machine ECM determines all of the appropriate output commands and communicates this information to the Implement ECM on the SAE J1939 (CAN) data link.

The machine ECM will activate outputs in order to energize or de-energize solenoids that will control the installed machine functions.

Inputs

The inputs describe the status of the machine systems. Two types of inputs exist. The inputs can be either a switch type or a sensor type. Switches provide an open, a ground, or a + battery signal to the inputs of the controller. Sensors (frequency, PWM, or voltage) provide a changing signal to the sensor inputs of the controller.

The return system contains the hydraulic oil filter clog pressure switch.
