This Special Instruction provides information about the parts and procedures that are required to install a new steering control valve on 16M Motor Graders.

Register the Retrofit

Because retrofits to a prime product will change the configuration of the product, updating the configuration in SIMSi and AIMS is important. If the retrofit information is not provided, Caterpillar will not be able to provide important product updates.

The following information includes instructions on registering the updates and retrofits.

  1. When performing a retrofit installation, record the vital information in Table 2.

    Note: If the procedure is performed by the customer, ask the customer to record the proper information.

    Table 2
    Repair Date   
    Product Serial Number   
    Service Hours or Service Meter Units   
    Removed Component Part Number(1)   
    Removed Component Serial Number(1)   
    Installed Component Part Number(2)   
    Installed Component Serial Number(3)   
    (1) Only applies if a component is replaced by a retrofit component. If the product is an engine, and the product retrofit is a kit for upgrading the engine, disregard the "Removed Component" information. Refer to detailed instructions in Step 3 for more information.
    (2) Record the highest level retrofit kit, arrangement, or group part number.
    (3) Most retrofits will not have a serial number. Exceptions include emissions repower engines and diesel particulate filters.

  2. Update the product configuration by entering the information from Table 2 into SIMSi and AIMS.

    Note: For retrofits that have a Caterpillar serial number, the AIMS application is "JIZ111-08". For retrofits that do not have a Caterpillar serial number, the AIMS application is "JIZ111-07".

  3. For detailed instructions on updating the product configuration, refer to Special Instruction, REHS5097, "Instructions to Register the Retrofit and Submit Service Reporting".

Important Safety Information

Do not perform any procedure in this special instruction until you have read this special instruction and you understand this information. Use only proper tools and observe all precautions that pertain to the use of those tools. Failure to follow these procedures can result in personal injury. The following procedures should also be observed.

Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.

A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly.

Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.

Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive.

------ WARNING! ------

Check valves in the hydraulic system may allow pressure to exist in the hydraulic lines after the engine has been stopped. Pressure must be relieved prior to servicing the components of the hydraulic system. Failure to relieve pressure prior to servicing may result in personal injury.


------ WARNING! ------

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the hydraulic system pressure before working on any fitting, hose, or hydraulic component.

Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders must be supported properly.

Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.


------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.

Make sure all of the work tools have been lowered to the ground, and the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, PERJ1017, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat® products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.



NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contamination of the hydraulic system with foreign material will reduce the service life of the hydraulic system components.

To prevent contaminants from entering the hydraulic system, always plug or cap the lines, fittings, or hoses as they are disconnected. Cover any disassembled components and clean them properly before assembly.

Clean the hydraulic system properly after any major component exchange or especially after a component failure, to remove any contamination.

Reference: Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, KENR6018, " Control Manifold (Steering Backup) - Remove and Install".

Machine Preparation

  1. Park on a level surface. If you must park on a grade, chock the machine.

  2. Apply the service brake to stop the machine. Move the transmission control switch to the NEUTRAL position.

  3. Move the speed control lever to the LOW IDLE position.

  4. Connect the steering frame lock. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU7884, " Steering Frame Lock"

  5. Engage the parking brake.

  6. Lower all attachments to the ground.

  7. Turn the engine start switch to OFF position and remove the key.

  8. Release hydraulic pressure. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU7884, " System Pressure Release"

  9. Turn battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU7884, "Battery Disconnect Switch"

  10. Drain the hydraulic tank. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU7884, " Hydraulic System Oil - Change".

    Note: Put identification marks on all lines, on all hoses, on all wires, and on all tubes for installation purposes. Plug or cap all lines, hoses, and tubes. This helps to prevent fluid loss and helps to keep contaminants from entering the system.

Required Parts

To Install the new steering control valve you will need to order 494-9355 Steering Upgrade Kit. Additionally, you will need to order the electrical parts listed in table 4.

The hose assemblies are not included in the kit and must be assembled prior to delivery to build site.

  9. “Primary Steering Valve Command Signal Duty Cycle” and “Primary Steering Valve Power Supply Output Status” should both read “Disabled or Not Installed”.

  10. Check for any diagnostic codes. If codes are present, you will need to calibrate the steering solenoids. For calibration procedures, refer to the "Calibrate the Steering Solenoids" section within this Special Instruction. If codes are still present, review the electrical installation and verify that the procedure was done correctly.

  11. Once the diagnostic check is completed, start the engine. Steer to the right and steer to the left to verify proper functionality. Also, wheel lean left and wheel lean right to verify proper functionality.

Calibrate the Steering Solenoids

The calibration of the steering solenoids should be performed if any of the following items occur:

  • The steering cycle time is slow.

  • Steering is too sensitive.

  • The steering solenoid is remounted.

  • The steering solenoid is replaced.

  • The machine Electronic Control Module (ECM) is replaced.

Note: The following information is an example of the calibration procedure. The actual calibration screens may vary as new versions of the software are released.

  1. Slightly raise the blade off the ground.

  2. Activate the implement lock out switch.

  3. To start, select the Implement ECM.

  4. To get to the calibration procedures for the steering solenoids, click the service menu.
