Key Switch



Illustration 1g06202281

The key switch is a three position switch with two inputs into the Chassis ECM. When the key switch is moved to the ON position, a system voltage input is provided to the Chassis ECM. The presence of this voltage input will cause the ECM to transition from the "sleep mode" to the operational mode. When this mode change occurs, the ECM will initialize and then become operational.

When the key switch is moved to the OFF, the system voltage is no longer present at the ECM contact. The absence of the system voltage signals the ECM to transition from the operational mode to the sleep mode. The ECM will perform some internal power down procedures and then enter the sleep mode.

The transition period from the sleep mode to the operational mode happens in a short time. When the key switch is moved to the start position, a system voltage input will be provided to the Chassis ECM start contact. When the ECM detects this voltage and the machine system start status is correct, the ECM will initiate the engine cranking sequence.

Engine Speed Sensor



Illustration 2g03329411
Engine Speed Sensor

The engine speed sensor is an analog speed sensor. The sensor measures the rotational speed of the engine by generating a frequency from a passing gear tooth. This signal is sent back to both the Chassis ECM and Brake ECM.

Headlight Switch



Illustration 3g06202311

The headlight switch controls the operation of the headlights, taillights, and parking lights. The switch is a three-position switch. The lowest switch position does not turn on any lights. The middle switch position turns on the taillights and parking lights. The top position turns on the taillights, parking lights, and headlights.

Fog Lamp Switch



Illustration 4g06202335

The fog lamp switch controls the operation of the fog lamps. This switch is a two-position switch.

Curb Vision Lamps



Illustration 5g06202372

The curb vision lamp switch controls the operation of the lamps along the bottom left and right side of the machine. This switch is a two-position switch.

Work Lamps / Rear Side Lamps Switch



Illustration 6g06202403
Work Lamp / Rear Side Lamps Switch

This dual position switch is used to turn on the Work lamps (when toggled at the top) or the Rear Side lamps (when toggled at the bottom). When the switch is in the center position the lamps are off.

Stairway Lamp Switch



Illustration 7g06202832
Stairway Lamp Switch

This two-position switch is used to turn on the lamp for illuminating the retractable stairway at the cab.

Backlight Dimmer Switch



Illustration 8g03329555
Backlight Dimmer Switch

The Backlight Dimmer switch controls the brightness level of the backlights in the cab. The switch is a momentary switch with an increment and a decrement contact. When the switch is placed into either the increment or decrement states, the corresponding ECM contact is momentarily connected to ground. When the switch is not being activated, the ECM contacts float to a high-voltage state. The ECM determines the operator request from this switch and then changes the output level accordingly.

Hazard Switch

RH Window Switch / LH Window Switch



Illustration 10g06202429
Window Control Switch

The windows inside the cab are each controlled by a momentary switch that is mounted on the armrest of the door. Press the switch and release the switch when the desired window height is observed.

RH Door Switch / LH Door Switch



Illustration 11g06202412
Door switch and electrical schematic representation

The switches are mounted inside the door jam on each of the doors of the cab. When either of the doors are opened, the dome light is turned on.

Power Mirrors Switch



Illustration 12g06202449
The wire connections for the switch (not shown here) are distinguished by color.
(1) Mirror 1 Up or Down (Wire Color: Yellow)
(2) Battery (Wire Color: Red)
(3) Ground (Wire Color: Black)
(4) Mirror 2 Up or down (Wire Color: Green)
(5) Mirror 1 Left or right (Wire Color: Orange)
(6) Common (Wire Color: White)
(7) LED (Wire Color: Purple)
(8) Mirror 2 Left or Right (Wire Color: Blue)

This switch can be used to control both of the mirrors for the truck in all directions (up, down, left and right).

Heated Mirror Switch



Illustration 13g06202785
Heated Mirror Switch

This monetary switch will activate a heating element within the mirror for a fixed period of time.

RH Map Lamp Switch

Fuel Level Sensor



Illustration 15g06202894
Ultrasonic Fuel Level Sensor

The level in the fuel tank is measured using an ultrasonic emitter. After the signal is received by the ultrasonic sensor, the time difference between the signal launch and return signal is calculated by the Chassis ECM. The greater the time between sending and receiving the signal, the higher the fuel level in the tank. The Chassis ECM communicates with the Advisor to update the fuel level display. The performance screen in Advisor also displays a digital readout of the percentage of fuel remaining.

Heated Mirrors Switch



Illustration 16g03329482

The heated mirrors switch is a single pole switch. The switch controls the operation of the heated mirrors. When the switch is activated, the heated mirrors are activated.

Backup Alarm



Illustration 17g03329483

The backup alarm is a speaker driven by the ECM. The alarm sounds when the transmission is placed into REVERSE to warm that the vehicle may move in the reverse direction.

Starter Relay



Illustration 18g03329494

The starter relay controls the operation of the starter motor. The relay acts as an electrical switch. The ECM energizes the relay which then allows a connection from the battery to the starter motor.

Machine Lockout Lamp



Illustration 19g03329533

The machine lockout lamp is an indicator light which informs the operator when the machine has been locked out. The chassis ECM energizes the light by acting as the return line for the light.

Crank Lockout Lamp



Illustration 20g03329533

The crank lockout lamp is an indicator light which informs the operator when the starter has been locked out. The chassis ECM energizes the light by acting as the return line for the light.

Rear WAVS Relay



Illustration 21g03323937

The rear WAVS relay controls the operation of the reverse lights. The relay acts as an electrical switch. The ECM energizes the relay, which then allows a power source to flow to the lights.

Heated Mirror Relay



Illustration 22g03323937

The heated mirror relay controls the operation of the heater coils in the mirrors. The relay acts as an electrical switch. The ECM energizes the relay, which then allows a power source to flow through the heater coils.

Crank Lockout Switch



Illustration 23g03329581

The crank lockout switch controls the operation of the starter. When the crank lockout switch is not engaged, the machine functions normally with the starter being controlled by the key switch. When the switch is activated, power is provided to the ECM the same as a key ON position, but the starter cannot be activated. The switch is a two pole switch. The ECM contact floats to a high-voltage state when the switch is open. The ECM contact is pulled to a low voltage state when the switch is closed.

Machine Lockout Switch



Illustration 24g03329585

The machine lockout switch prevents the machine from operating when the switch is activated. The switch is a single pole switch. The ECM contact floats to a high-voltage state when the switch is open and is pulled to a low voltage state when the switch is closed.
