The payload system must be calibrated if the "VIMS-PC" software is used to assign a new serial number to the main module. The payload system must also be calibrated after the replacement of the VIMS backup battery (disconnect switch open), the VIMS main module, the interface module, the suspension cylinders, the suspension cylinder pressure sensors, etc.
Security
- This service program code only functions while the service tool (VIMSpc99) is connected.
- After the service tool (VIMSpc99) is disconnected for 30 seconds, this service program code will no longer be active.
Calibrate the pre-9.5X onboard software after replacing the VIMS main module software. The 9.5X and/or later onboard software will alert the user through the message center if the software loses the calibration data for any reason. The following message display is shown on the message center.

Press the "F1" key in order to access additional information.
Illustration 2 | g00490354 |
The VIMS Truck Payload System will not operate until a successful payload calibration has been completed.
The following information describes the service program code 729225 (PAYCAL). The PAYCAL service program code uses the following procedure in order to calibrate the VIMS Truck Payload System:
- Ensure that the truck body is empty. Carryback will affect payload measurement.
- Operate the empty truck to a minimum ground speed of four mph on hard level ground.
- Move the transmission gear selector to the neutral position and allow the truck to coast to a stop. DO NOT use the service brakes or the retarder.
- Manually calibrate the payload system by entering the service program code 729225 (PAYCAL). One of the following two messages will now show on the message area:
Illustration 3 | g00490356 |
If the above message is shown, put the truck back into service.
Illustration 4 | g00490360 |
If the above message is shown, repeat the procedure again. Begin at Step 1. Make sure that the ground speed is at a minimum of four mph. DO NOT use the service brakes and/or the retarder.
The following information describes the service program code: 7292663 (PAYCONF)
The service program code 7292663 (PAYCONF) is used in order to configure the maximum weight of the truck payload and the last pass indicator.
Security
- This service program code only functions while the service tool (VIMSpc99) is connected.
- After the service tool (VIMSpc99) is disconnected for 30 seconds, this service program code will no longer be active.
Procedure
- Stop the truck and verify that the body is empty. Then, enter 7292663 (PAYCONF) and press the "OK" key. The message area will show the target payload weight.

Illustration 5 g00583038 Note: NNN is the maximum payload weight. The weight is displayed in the selected units of measure ("English/Metric").
- Use the right/left arrows keys in order to set the desired weight.
- Press the "OK" key in order to accept the value that is shown on the message center. The message area will now show:
Show/hide table
Illustration 6 g00490392 Note: "YES" might also show as a "NO". To enable the LAST PASS indication, use the left/right arrow keys to toggle the LAST PASS indicator to "YES". The continuous flashing of the RED payload status lamps indicates that the truck is waiting for the last pass of the loading tool. The last pass indicates that the VIMS loader payload system has estimated that the next pass is greater than 90 percent of the selected target weight.
- Press the "OK" key in order to accept the selection. This returns the message center to the previous mode.
Payload Show/Reset Resettable Totals
The following information describes the service program code: 868 (TOT)
This service program code 868 (TOT) allows the operator to view information. The service program code allows the operator to reset the total payload activity information since the last reset.
Procedure
- Enter the service program code 868. Press the "OK" key. The message area will show:
Show/hide table
Illustration 7 g00490429 Note: NNNNN represents the number of loads that were hauled since the previous reset.
- Press the right arrow key. The message area will show:
Show/hide table
Illustration 8 g00490430 Note: NNNNN is the total weight of all loads that were hauled since the previous reset.
- Press the right arrow key. The message area will show:
Show/hide table
Illustration 9 g00583043 Note: NNNNN.N is the total miles (kilometers) that were travelled since the previous reset.
- Press the right arrow key. The message area will show:
Show/hide table
Illustration 10 g00583040 Note: NNN.N represents the total travel time that has accumulated since the last reset. Travel time accumulates when the truck has been travelling at a speed that is greater than
5 km/h (3 mph) . - Press the left arrow key in order to scroll back through the previous screens or press the "OK" key in order to return the message area to the previous mode without clearing the totals. Proceed to Step 6 to clear the totals.
- Enter the service program code 73738 (RESET). Press the "OK" key in order to clear all the totals. Press the "OK" key again in order to return the message area to the previous mode.
