PROBLEM
Show/hide table
| The Ripper handle switch/switches need to be replaced on certain 14M Motor Graders. The existing switch may fail causing uncommanded movement of the ripper or auxiliary function. The Valve Gp-Actuator (Primary Steering Control Module) needs to be inspected on certain 14M Motor Graders. The existing Valve Gp-Actuator may cause excessive steering system codes to be generated. The Park Brake Solenoid needs to be replaced on certain 14M Motor Graders. The existing Park Brake Solenoid may experience a failure that can prevent it from actuating. The above failures, in conjunction with other factors or circumstances, could result in a risk of personal injury or death. New software needs to be installed on certain 14M Motor Graders. Software improvements are listed below. Messenger: -Update E875 "Low System Voltage" from a level 3 to a level 2 event -Updated languages -Update to reduce the frequency of 811-09 diagnostic codes at machine startup. -Addition of an E490-1 "Park Brake Applied While Shift Lever Not in Neutral" event -Addition of an E562-2 "Steering Lever Has Not Been Aligned To Wheel Steering Angle" Event. Implement: -Reduced the debounce time for the Neutral Articulation switch from 100ms to 50ms to allow the selection to made easier. -Alignment of the Left Hand Joystick to the steering axle when the machine is started has been improved. -The display for Steering Oil Temperature will no longer display **** when the temperature of the steering oil is above 60 deg C or below -50 deg C. -Remove invalid 2202-12 "Primary Steering Control Module Failure" at machine start up. -When an E256-3 "Steering in the Wrong Direction" or an E257-3 "Steering With No Command" occurs while in secondary steering (Trans/Chassis ECM), the secondary steering hydraulic valves will remain active. -Correct issue with configuring cylinder trim file parameters manually through Cat ET. -Revised the hydraulic oil viscosity parameters for Hydraulic Cold Mode that trigger the Level 1 and Level 2 "Gear Too High" events. Transmission: -Improved Park Brake release strategy to eliminate the possibility of driving through the park brake when the machine is put into gear. The change makes it necessary to have the park brake switch disengaged in order for the transmission to be shifted out of NEUTRAL. -Increased the maximum detectable Transmission Output Speed from 5000 rpm to 7000 rpm (Maximum ground speed detected will now peak at 91 kph or 56 mph). -A software change has been made to address a hesitation in machine direction change after the operator executes a directional shift while in Autoshift Mode. The previous software did not allow directional shifts to execute while a downshift is in progress. -A software change has been made to reduce dynamic torque at low engine speeds to prevent torsional coupler damage. This will automatically downshift the transmission to the next lower gear when the engine is lugged back below low idle while under load in order to avoid the damaging dynamic resonance response caused by lugging the engine below low idle while under load. Engine: -Throttle lock will be disabled when cycling the throttle lock switch from manual to auto and from auto to manual. -Revised the E172-1 "High Air Filter Restriction" trip level from 6.5 kpa to 7.5 kpa at 15 seconds to correct an issue that causes the air filter restriction light to activate prematurely. -Revised the E172-2 "High Air Filter Restriction" trip level from 6.5 kpa to 7.5 kpa at 30 seconds to correct an issue that causes the air filter restriction light to activate prematurely. |

| Please refer to the rework procedure listed for the group in which the machine you are performing the work on is in. A new Operation and Maintenance Manual will be provided. Order the new Operation and Maintenance Manual from the following list according to your machine model and serial number in the language needed: For serial number prefix B9J (14M), order version 13 or later of the following media: English - SEBU7883 French - SFBU7883 Spanish - SSBU7883 Chinese ? SCBU7883 Turkish - STBU7883 Greek - SHBU7883 Portuguese - SPBU7883 German - SGBU7883 Romanian - S9BR7883 Norwegian - SNBU7883 Dutch - SDBU7883 Finnish - SQBU7883 Italian - SLBU7883 Russian - SRBU7883 Slovakian ? S9BS7883 Slovenian - S9BT7883 Swedish - SWBU7883 Danish - SYBU7883 Arabic ? SABU7883 Hebrew ? SZBU7883 Prior to releasing the machine back into service place printed copy of Service Magazine "New Software That Affects Machine Operation is Now Used on Certain Motor Graders" on the seat of the cab. In the case that the Actuator Valve Group (Steering Control Module) is being changed, ensure that when the valve is removed, the resolver (as shown in image 1 as number 7) is not removed with the actuator valve group. This part should remain with the main portion of the steering valve. The result of the resolver being removed from the system would be slow or no steering to the left which could potentially cause E258 events to be generated. |
