3126E Engine for Combat and Tactical Vehicles Caterpillar


PTO Switch Circuit - Test

Usage:

3126E LEF
System Operation Description:

Use this procedure under the following situation:

Use this procedure to determine that the vehicle wiring and the ECM are functioning properly for the features of Dedicated PTO.

The following background information is related to this procedure:

INPUT #1

The input 1 is used for the circuit for the PTO on/off switch when the PTO Configuration is programmed to "Cab Switches", "Remote Switches", or "Remote Throttle".

When the PTO on/off switch is on, the ECM will be in Dedicated PTO mode.

When the ECM is in the Dedicated PTO mode the PTO Top Engine Limit (TEL) is activated. The engine may proceed directly to the PTO engine rpm set speed if the parameter is programmed. If a PTO switch on lamp is connected to the output 1, the PTO switch on lamp will turn on whenever the PTO on/off circuit is on.

If the problem is with undetermined PTO kickouts, use the following procedure:

Operate the vehicle in PTO mode.

After the kickout, review the status parameter on ET. The status parameter indicates the cause of the kickout. This must be performed before the ignition key switch is turned off. It is important to remember that the parameter will only indicate the last kickout since the ECM has been powered by the ignition key switch.

This parameter is blank when the ECM is first powered up. If this parameter is blank, "No Occurrence" or "Not Kicked Out" is indicated. This parameter remains blank until the ECM detects the use of the PTO mode. Also, this parameter remains blank until the ECM detects the disengagement of PTO mode. Refer to Table 1 in order to interpret the status parameter.

The following kickout status parameter is available:

  • PTO kickout

PTO interlocks may also be connected in series with the PTO on/off switch. The interlocks are intended to prevent the PTO on/off circuit from activating unless certain conditions are met.

INPUT 2

The input 2 is used for the PTO set/rpm increase switch when the "PTO Configuration" is programmed to "Remote Switches" or "Remote Throttle".

INPUT 3

The input 3 is used for the PTO resume/rpm decrease switch when the "PTO Configuration" is programmed to "Remote Switches" or "Remote Throttle".

The PTO Configuration Is Set To Cab Switches.

When the "PTO Configuration" is programmed to "Cab Switches" and the PTO on/off switch is on, the following circuits can be used to interrupt a set rpm:

  • Cruise control set/resume switch

  • Service brake pedal position switch 1

  • Service brake pedal position switch 2

  • Clutch pedal position switch

  • Neutral switch

  • Cruise Control Pause Switch

When the "PTO Configuration" is programmed to "Cab Switches" and the PTO on/off switch is on, the cab accelerator pedal position sensor can be limited to one of the following settings by using the "PTO Cab Throttle RPM Limit" parameter:

  • Low idle

  • PTO Top Engine Limit

  • Top engine limit

The "PTO Configuration" Is Set To Remote Switches or Remote Throttle.

When the "PTO Configuration" is programmed to "Remote Switches" or "Remote Throttle" and the PTO on/off switch is on, the following circuits are ignored:

  • Service brake pedal position switch 1

  • Service brake pedal position switch 2

  • Clutch pedal position switch

  • Neutral switch

  • Cab accelerator pedal position sensor

  • Cab cruise control set/resume switch

A remote accelerator pedal position sensor is connected to the input 8 when the "PTO Configuration" is programmed to "Remote Throttle".

Note: The wiring for your particular application may be slightly different. The circuits for the sensor common are used interchangeably by the OEM of the vehicle. The following circuits are common within the ECM:

  • The "Input Sensor Common 1" is terminal 18.

  • The "Input Sensor Common 2" is terminal 3.

  • The "AP Sensor/Switch Sensor Common" is terminal 5.
