Introduction

NOTE: This manual is divided into the following three main sections:

1. Electronic System Testing And Adjusting
2. Checking Procedures
3. Hydraulic System Testing And Adjusting

NOTE: As a general rule, if there is a doubt as to the cause of a problem, the electronic system should be checked first.

Reference: For information on Systems Operation of the above, make reference to: "Systems Operation, Electronic And Electrical Systems", Form No. SENR5404 and/or "Systems Operation, Hydraulic System", Form No. SENR5495.

This manual contains information on the troubleshooting procedures of the electronic control and hydraulic systems in the 330, 330 L, and 330 LN Excavators. For troubleshooting the engine components, refer to the module Systems Operation, Testing And Adjusting, Basic Engine Components 3306 Engine, Form No. SENR2057.

Checking Procedures

In each checking procedure, it is assumed that the engine operation is normal unless otherwise specified.

Electronic Control System

The monitor and electronic controller are the main components of the electronic control system. The monitor and electronic controller have a self diagnostic function. Self diagnostic checks of the monitor, electronic controller, and the communication line between them are the first steps when troubleshooting the problem(s) in the electronic system.

Action alarm indicators on the monitor panel, alert an operator to a problem in the electronic system. The controller service program "Data Mode" can also be used to identify the problems (see the section of this module "Data Mode"). If the service program is activated during machine operation, problem(s) that are monitored by the monitoring system are indicated on the character display. If the service program is activated when the machine operation is stopped, all existing problems and past problems (problems that have not been corrected) are indicated on the character display. To activate the controller service program "Data Mode", refer to the "Data Mode" section in this module.

Operational Tests

If the electronic power unit control system display indicates it is operating correctly, then do operational tests. Operate the machine, following the procedures described in the section "Hydraulic System Testing And Adjusting". Compare the results of the operational tests with specifications to determine the extent of the trouble. In operational tests, it is important to determine whether or not enough hydraulic force or implement speed is a problem that extends over the entire machine or with only a specific operation.

If there are any faults in the circuits between the main or pilot pumps and the control valves, the overall performance of the machine will decrease. This type of problem in the hydraulic system is not detected by the self diagnostic functions of the electronic control system described above (no action alarm indication on character display.). To detect such a problem, it is necessary to check the flow characteristics of the pumps, the main relief pressure, pilot pressure, etc.

Introduction

The electronic Monitor Panel activates and displays the output received from the Electronic Controller. The Electronic Controller Service Program is divided into two program modes. Each program mode has a particular function as follows:

1. Data Mode;

This program mode contains eight function modes and provides the necessary information for the mechanic to determine the machine condition.

2. Calibration Mode;

This program mode contains ten function modes and provides information used to adjust and confirm system/component functions after replacement of electronic control system components. This program level is also used to help the mechanic troubleshoot machine problems.

To activate the service program mode functions, use the control switches provided on the electronic monitor panel.

NOTE: Unexpected character display readings due to random operation of switches should be disregarded.

To select a desired function mode, first start a proper service program mode (see the section "Data Mode Start-up" and/or "Calibration Mode Start-up"). Next, operate the control switch(es) as specified, until the desired information is indicated on the character display.

When the selected service program function is no longer needed, use the proper procedure (see the section "Data Mode Stop Procedure" and/or "Calibration Mode Stop Procedure") to cancel.

Data Mode

NOTE: Activation of service program "Data Mode" does not affect any machine controls and operations except for the following:

The LED indicators for power mode switch, travel speed control switch, light switch, and wiper switch come ON only in flashing mode during activation of service program "Data Mode".

The Data Mode contains the following function modes which provide eight categories of information.

1. Power shift pressure.
2. Engine speed.
3. Engine coolant temperature.
4. Hydraulic oil temperature.
5. A/D (Analog/Digital) conversion.
6. Real time error.
7. Digital input.
8. Output control display.

2. Depress wiper switch (35) until wiper 2 indicator (25) comes ON.

3. Character display (4) will display "P" in the first position and the selected power shift pressure in the second and third positions. As a example the value shown in character display (4) of [P25] is in kgf/cm2. To convert kgf/cm2 to kPa, multiply the value shown in character display (4) by 100. The resultant power shift pressure is 2450 kPa (355 psi).

4. Depress AEC switch (31) to increase the power shift pressure command signal by 1 kgf/cm2 within a range of 3 to 30 kgf/cm2 [290 to 2950 kPa (42 to 430 psi)].

5. Depress washer switch (34) to decrease the power shift pressure command signal by 1 kgf/cm2 within a range of 3 to 30 kgf/cm2 [290 to 2950 kPa (42 to 430 psi)].

NOTE: Depressing alarm cancel switch (36) causes character display (4) to display alternately between the power shift pressure and the engine rpm.

NOTE: Refer to "Engine Speed Change" to determine the value of engine speed displayed on character display (4).

6. Stop "Calibration Mode" (unless another function selection is desired). See the section, "Calibration Mode Stop Procedure".

Automatic Governor Actuator (G/A) Calibration


NOTICE

The hydraulic oil temperature must be at the normal operating temperature before this calibration procedure is performed.


NOTE: This procedure must be performed any time the governor actuator or controller has been replaced or reinstalled.

NOTE: Activation of this mode overrides the AEC system function, and keeps the power shift pressure constant at the no load pressure level. The engine speed dial can be placed at any position since it cannot activate until the governor actuator calibration has been completed. The governor backup switch must be in AUT (not backup) position.


Electronic Monitor Panel (Automatic Governor Actuator Calibration)

2. Depress travel speed control switch (28) until travel speed HIGH (Rabbit) indicator (26) comes ON.

3. Depress and hold AEC switch (31) then depress and hold washer switch (34). Character display (4) displays [AC] in a flashing mode.

4. While still depressing AEC switch (31) and washer switch (34), depress alarm cancel switch (36) until character display (4) stops flashing and changes to [ACP]. The automatic calibration mode is now started and the governor actuator motor has moved to the initial high idle stop position. The governor actuator is now calibrated to the factory engine rpm setting designated for position "10" of the engine speed dial switch.

5. Once character display (4) displays [ACt], the calibration procedure can be completed.

6. Depress AEC switch (31) and washer switch (34) in sequence until character display (4) displays [AC1]. The calibration procedure for the factory engine rpm setting designated for positions "1" through "10" of the engine speed dial switch is now started. The calibration procedure from this point takes approximately two minutes. Character display (4) will change as follows:

NOTE: After initial setting has been completed, check to be sure that the governor lever is correctly positioned (in contact with the high idle stopper) by rotating the pulley by hand.

When [AC0] appears in character display (4), the calibration procedure is complete.

NOTE: If the data is not correct or within specified limits, character display (4) will indicate an error code as shown in the following chart:

NOTE: If character display (4) displays [AC2] and [- *] (*: error code shown in the following chart) alternately during Automatic G/A Calibration procedure, it is an indication of the following possible problems. Have necessary repairs made. If character display (4) displays [AC0] after taking corrective action, it indicates that the automatic governor actuator calibration has been completed correctly.

NOTE: If the error code [- 1], [- 2], [- 3], [-15], or [-16] is indicated on character display (4), readjust the accelerator/decelerator cables. See the section "Adjustment After Replacement Of Major Components".

NOTE: If the error code [- 4] through [-12] or [-14] is indicated on character display (4), check the corresponding checking procedure in the section "Checking Procedures (Electronic Control System)".

NOTE: When character display (4) displays [-13], return all controls to the NEUTRAL position. If the problem code still exists, check the pressure switches and circuits.

7. Stop "Calibration Mode" (unless another function selection is desired). See the section, "Calibration Mode Stop Procedure".

Calibration Of Proportional Reducing Valve

NOTE: This calibration procedure must be performed when either the proportional reducing valve and/or the controller has been replaced. This procedure is made at two power shift pressure points of 5 kgf/cm2 [490 kPa (72 psi)] and 25 kgf/cm2 [2450 kPa (355 psi).


Main Pump Compartment
(40) Power shift pressure tap.

1. Stop the engine and install a 4900 kPa (700 psi) pressure gauge to power shift pressure tap (40).

2. Make sure that the pump control backup switch is in the "AUT" position.

3. Start the "Calibration Mode". Refer to the section "Calibration Mode Start-up".

NOTE: The engine must be running and have a hydraulic oil temperature of approximately 50°C (122°F) to perform this calibration procedure.

4. Run the engine with engine speed dial switch at position "10".

NOTE: Activation of this calibration mode overrides the AEC function. If the engine speed dial switch is not at position "10" character display (4) will show an "E" in the first column. The engine speed must be corrected within specifications to continue the calibration procedure.

(4) Character display. (27) Travel speed LOW (tortoise) indicator. (28) Travel speed control switch. (31) AEC switch. (34) Washer switch. (36) Alarm cancel switch.

5. Depress travel speed control switch (28) until travel speed LOW (tortoise) indicator (27) comes ON.

6. Character display (4) now displays [1 0]. The "1" indicates that the first calibration point has been accessed and the "0" indicates that the middle step of the 19 individual calibration steps has been accessed. Each step will change the power shift pressure by approximately 50 kPa (7.5 psi).

7. To change the power shift pressure:

a. To increase the power shift pressure, depress AEC switch (31) once. This will change character display (4) to [1 2]. Each time AEC switch (31) is depressed, character display (4) increases by one until character display (4) displays [1 9]. Also, the pressure reading at power shift pressure tap (40) increases by approximately 50 kPa (7.5 psi) for each increase. The following is an example of character display (4) readings in increasing order:

b. To decrease the power shift pressure, depress washer switch (34) once to lower the value displayed in character display (4). Each time washer switch (34) is depressed, character display (4) decreases by one in descending order until character display (4) displays [1-9]. Also, the pressure reading at power shift pressure tap (40) decreases by 50 kPa (7 psi) for each decrease. The following is an example of character display (4) readings in decreasing order:

8. To set "Calibration Point No. 1", perform the following steps:

a. Depress washer switch (34) until the pressure reading at tap (40) is less than 490 kPa (72 psi).

b. Depress AEC switch (31) until the pressure reading at tap (40) increases to approximately 490 kPa (72 psi).

NOTE: Pressure adjustments must always be made as the pressure is being increased.

c. Depress alarm cancel switch (36) to store the data in the controller.

d. Once the data is stored in the controller, display (4) changes to [2 0], which indicates that the first calibration point has been accepted and the second calibration point can be performed. At this time, the character display flashing light mode will change to a continuous lighting mode.

9. To set "Calibration Point No. 2", perform the following steps:

a. Depress washer switch (34) until the pressure reading at tap (40) is less than 2450 kPa (355 psi).

b. Depress AEC switch (31) until the pressure reading at tap (40) increases to approximately 2450 kPa (355 psi).

NOTE: Pressure adjustments must always be made as the pressure is being increased.

c. Depress alarm cancel switch (36) to store the data in the controller.

d. Once the data is stored in the controller, display (4) will change to [1 0], which indicates that the second calibration point has been accepted and the controller has reset to the first calibration point.

10. Stop "Calibration Mode" (unless another function selection is desired). See the section, "Calibration Mode Stop Procedure".

Calibration Mode Stop Procedure

(4) Character display. (37) Service switch.

Use either of the following two methods:

1. Place engine in low idle position and turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

2. Depress service switch (37) for a minimum of two seconds until character display (4) changes from "Calibration Mode" to engine speed dial position.

Adjustment After Replacement Of Major Components

When major components of the electronic control system have been replaced, adjustment is required.

The major components include:

* Governor actuator
* Proportional reducing valve
* Engine speed sensor
* Controller

Governor Actuator


Pump Compartment
(1) Accelerator cable. (2) Connector. (3) Governor actuator. (4) Decelerator cable.


Engine Compartment
(5) Pulley. (6) Inner cable wire (accelerator). (7) Outer cable wire (decelerator).


Installation Of Accelerator And Decelerator Cables
(1) Accelerator cable. (4) Decelerator cable. (5) Pulley. (6) Inner cable wire (accelerator). (7) Outer cable wire (decelerator). (8) Locknut. (9) Nut. (10) Support. (11) Nut. (12) Slot. (13) Locknut.

Initial Setting Of Governor Actuator

NOTE: This procedure is not necessary for a new governor actuator that is correctly calibrated for the initial (factory) dial setting position "10".

1. Connect the harness of governor actuator (3) to connector (2).

2. Determine the high idle position "10" (initial setting) by activating the automatic actuator calibration mode. See the section in this module "Calibration Mode", Automatic Governor Actuator (G/A) Calibration"

Adjustment Of Accelerator Cable

1. Accelerator cable (1) is identified by its seal. Turn nut (11) and locknut (13) of accelerator cable (1) counterclockwise until they are as far apart as possible.

NOTE: If the identification seal is missing, accelerator cable (1) is the upper cable when viewed from the governor actuator (3).

2. Place inner cable wire (6) into the inner groove (groove closest to the engine) of pulley (5).

3. Wrap inner cable wire (6) around (counterclockwise as viewed from the top of the machine) pulley (5).

4. Put the "T" end of inner cable wire (6) into slot (12). Make sure the "T" end of inner cable wire (6) is in line with the inner groove (groove closest to the engine) after installation.

5. Put the threaded portion of accelerator cable (1) in the upper notch of support (10).

6. Turn pulley (5) clockwise (as viewed from the top of the machine) to the high idle stop position (full rotation position).

7. Hold pulley (5) against the high idle stop position and turn nut (11) clockwise until the slack is removed from inner wire (6). Tighten nut (11) approximately an additional two turns by hand.

8. Torque (standard torque) locknut (13) against support (10).

Adjustment Of Decelerator Cable

1. Turn nut (8) and locknut (9) of decelerator cable (4) counterclockwise until they are as far apart as possible.

2. Place outer cable wire (7) into the outer groove (groove farthest from the engine) of pulley (5).

3. Wrap outer cable wire (7) around (clockwise as viewed from the top of the machine) pulley (5).

4. Put the "T" end of outer cable wire (7) into slot (12). Make certain the "T" end of outer cable wire (7) is in line with outer groove (groove farthest from the engine) after installation.

5. Put the threaded portion of decelerator cable (4) in the upper notch of support (10). Make certain outer cable wire (7) remains in outer groove of pulley (5).

6. Finger tighten nut (9) against support (10).

7. Loosen nut (9) approximately two turns to provide slack in outer cable wire (7).

8. Torque (standard torque) locknut (8) against support (10). Make certain nut (9) remains in position of threaded portion of decelerator cable (4) while tightening locknut (8) against support (10).

9. Reinstall clamps to decelerator cable (4) and accelerator cable (1). Do not allow the cables to twist.

NOTE: Check to be sure that the governor lever is in contact with the high idle stop lever. Also make sure nuts (11) and (9) are correctly tightened so that accelerator cable (1) is under tension and decelerator cable (4) has a small amount of slack. Failure to do so could result in incorrect engine speed setting, or overload the governor actuator. Governor actuator (3) must not be operated until the calibration procedure is complete. If actuator (3) is operated before the calibration procedure is complete, recalibrate.
