Location of Electrical Components

Usage:

938H JKM
The following items are the main components of the transmission electrical system:

  • Power Train electronic control module (ECM)

  • Transmission direction and speed control lever

  • Transmission direction control switch

  • Downshift switch

  • Solenoids

  • Left Brake Pedal Position Sensor

  • Parking brake switch

  • Dash panel cluster

  • Speed sensors

  • Autoshift switch

  • Messenger

  • Engine ECM

  • Data Link connector

  • Fuse panel

Power Train ECM




Illustration 1g00934508

The power train ECM (1) is an environmentally sealed unit. The power train ECM is mounted under the cab on the right side of the machine. The power train ECM is protected by a cover that must be removed in order to obtain access to the power train ECM.

Transmission Direction and Speed Control Lever




Illustration 2g00934273

The transmission direction and speed control lever (2) is mounted on the steering column.

Transmission Direction Control Switch




Illustration 3g01441902

The transmission direction control switch (3) is mounted on the lift control lever.

Downshift Switch




Illustration 4g01441903

The downshift switch (4) is located on the lift control lever.

Solenoids




Illustration 5g00888652

The solenoids (5) are installed on the modulating valves (6). The solenoids receive a signal from the power train ECM in order to energize the solenoid. When the solenoid energizes, the spool of the modulating valve moves in order to direct pressure oil to the clutch. The distance of spool movement is proportional to the strength of the signal that is sent to the solenoid by the power train ECM.

Position Sensor (Left Brake Pedal)




Illustration 6g00779650

Position Sensor (Left Brake Pedal)

The position sensor for the left brake pedal sends an input to the ECM. The sensor will continuously update the power train ECM on the position of the left pedal. The ECM records the change of position. Then, the ECM activates the appropriate solenoid valve.

The position sensor for the left brake pedal is a PWM sensor. The sensor continuously generates a PWM signal. The duty cycle varies in proportion to the position of the pedal. The ECM receives the PWM signal from the position sensor. The ECM measures the duty cycle in order to determine the position of the pedal. The frequency of the sensor signal is constant at 5000 Hz. The machine electrical system provides +battery voltage to the pedal position sensor for operating power.

Parking Brake Switch




Illustration 7g00888667

A parking brake switch (10) lights an indicator light on the dash when the parking brake is engaged. When the parking brake is engaged, putting the transmission in gear causes a switch in the transmission control to open. An audible alarm sounds.

Dash Panel Cluster




Illustration 8g01443403

The dash panel cluster (11) is located directly in front of the seat.

Speed Sensors




Illustration 9g00934290

The following speed sensors are installed on the transmission:

  • Input speed sensor (12)

  • Intermediate speed sensor (13)

  • Intermediate speed sensor (14)

  • Output speed sensor (15)

  • Output speed sensor (16)

Autoshift Switch




Illustration 10g01442095

The autoshift switch (17) is located on the dash of the machine.

Engine ECM




Illustration 11g00934296

The engine ECM (18) is a nonserviceable, environmentally sealed unit. The engine ECM is mounted on the engine on the right side of the machine.

Data Link Connector




Illustration 12g01442157

The Data Link connector (19) is located on the right hand console near the floor. The connector is used to connect to the data communication equipment that is used for diagnostic purposes.

Fuse Panel




Illustration 13g01442159

The fuse panel (20) is located on the right hand console panel. The right hand door must be opened in order to obtain access to the fuse panel.
