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.

Harness And Wire Identification

The colors and sizes of wires shown in the Electric Circuit Diagram are identified as described in the following chart:

Example; [308] - BK - (18)

[308] = Circuit identification code.

BK = Wire color.

(18) = Wire size specified by AWG (American Wiring Gauge). If not indicated, wire size is AWG No. 16.

Electrical Components, Connectors, And Harness Location

This section includes information on how to use the separate module "Electric Schematic", Form No. SENR5499 to determine location of the electric components, connectors, and harnesses.

The location charts are made up of electric components, connectors, and harnesses. The views contain general views and area views. Area views include the following:

* Area A: Cab

Below is a guide to read components and harness/connector location charts.

* Component location chart:

The component location chart uses white circles as location labels in the general and area views. Alphabetical letters in the connector and vehicle location column indicate location in the area views.

* Harness and connector location chart:

The harness and connector location charts use black circles as location labels in the general and area views. Alphabetical letters in the connector and vehicle location column indicate the area views where they are located. the "*" indicates that it is connected to the component in its harness and/or components column.

NOTE: Harnesses in partial electric schematics given in the "Checking Procedures" are identified by A, B, and C, which are also indicated in the general and area views.

NOTE: The material in this module is intended to be used with the separate module, "Electrical Schematic" Form No. SENR5499.

Checking Procedures (Electronic Control System)

Introduction

Problem Description

The problem description indicates problems represented by the character display on the monitor panel.

Solution

The solution provides two types of information;

* Connector check provides information on the connectors that have to be checked before troubleshooting using the checking procedure chart. Check the connectors specified for improper connections. A loose contact between two connectors can be caused by water in the connectors. Check the connectors before troubleshooting.
* Checking procedure chart provides information on troubleshooting problems indicated by the error code on the character display on the monitor panel.

Example Chart


Electronic Control System Checking Procedure Chart
(1) Preparations. (2) Problem description. (3) Error code on character display (Ch. D.). (4) Check items. (5) Probable causes. (6) Solution.

NOTE: The character display on the monitor panel indicates error code on character display (3) assigned for the real time errors and error log, if problem(s) occurs. The charts that follow should be used to troubleshoot problems indicated by error code on character display (3).

Preparations (1) provide information on the preliminary arrangements that must be made before troubleshooting.

Problem description (2) indicates problems shown by the character display on the monitor panel.

Error code on character display (3) indicates specific codes for real time errors and error log. Service Program selection determines the pattern of the character display.

Check items (4) list items that must be checked with a multimeter.

a. In the check items (4), "0Ohms" means "there is continuity", whereas "infinite Delta " means that "there is no continuity".
b. Connector check - [other than()]: 0Ohms.

NOTE: [other than()] means all the terminals and pins except the one specified in ().

The following is an explanation of the terms in "Check items (4)":

Example; (1) - (2) of CONN46M

(1) = Pin number.

- = Short circuit indication.

CONN46 = Connector number.

M = The male (M) or female (F) half of the connector.

Probable causes (5) shows probable cause(s) of a problem.

Solution (6) shows the corrective action that should be taken to solve a particular problem. The statement "Replace" includes "Repair if possible".

When a continuity check is to be performed, "turn the starter switch to the OFF position". This stops the power supply to prevent damage to the tester or short-circuiting the power supply.

When a voltage check is to be made, "turn the starter switch to the ON position" to allow power supply. The engine should be in operation unless otherwise specified. Stable inputs and outputs of controller cannot be obtained without the engine running.


NOTICE

To avoid damage to electrical components when the power supply is ON, make sure disconnected connectors and wires do not come in contact with the machine.
