Component Location
This illustration shows the basic component locations on the 950H and 962H. The component
locations on the 950H and 962H are basically the same as in the "G" series II Wheel Loaders.
Power for the 950H, 962H Wheel Loaders ,and IT62 Integrated Toolcarrier is supplied by the
C7 ACERT engine. Power flows from the engine to the torque converter, to the
Electronic Clutch Pressure Controlled (ECPC) transmission, through the output transfer gear to
front and rear drive shafts. From the drive shafts, power flows to the bevel gears in the
differentials, and through the axles.
The wheel loader is equipped with a steering pump, a steering valve, and the steering cylinders.
Also, the machine is equipped with an electrohydraulic implement control with a variable
displacement implement piston pump supplying oil to the 3PC hydraulic valve located in the
loader frame.
The machine maybe equipped with an optional electric steering pump that is installed inside the
rear frame. This pump supplies oil to the steering system with a loss of main steering supply
oil.

ENGINE
The C7 ACERT engines utilize the A4 Electronic Control Module (ECM) engine control and
is equipped with an Air-to-Air Aftercooler (ATAAC) intake air cooling system. The C7 engine
is an in-line six-cylinder arrangement with a displacement of 7.2 L. The C7 engine in the 950H
is rated at 147 kW (197 net horsepower). The C7 engine in the 962H and the IT62H is rated at
157 kw (211 net horsepower). The C7 engines are electronically configured to provide constant
net horsepower through the operating ranges. Constant net horsepower automatically
compensates for any parasitic loads, allowing the operator to maintain a constant level of
productivity.
C7 ACERT Technology provides an advanced electronic control, a precision fuel delivery,
and refined air management.
The Engine ECM utilizes the Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM IV) to control the
fuel injector solenoids and to monitor fuel injection. The fuel is delivered through a Hydraulic
Electric Unit Injection (HEUI) system.
The C7 ACERT is equipped with a wastegate turbocharger which provides higher boost over
a wide range, improving engine response and peak torque, as well as outstanding low-end
performance.
The C7 ACERT engines meet US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier III Emission
Regulations for North America and Stage IIIa European Emission Regulations.

Speed/Timing Sensors
The primary speed timing sensor (1) and secondary speed timing sensor (2) are located below
the Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injector (HEUI) and above the hydraulic fan pump (3). Under
normal operation, the primary speed timing sensor (1) determines the No. 1 compression timing
prior to the engine starting. If the primary speed timing sensor is lost, a CID 190 MID 08
primary engine speed signals abnormal and the secondary sensor will time the engine with an
extended starting period and run rough until the Engine ECM determines the proper firing order
using the secondary speed timing sensor only. If the secondary speed timing sensor is lost, a
CID 342 MID 08 secondary engine speed signals abnormal and the primary sensor will time the
engine with an extended starting period and run rough until the Engine ECM determines the
proper firing order using the secondary speed timing sensor.
In the case that the signal from both engine speed sensors are lost, the engine will not start.
During a running condition, the engine will shutdown.

Fuel System
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank through the primary fuel filter (10-micron) and water separator
through the Engine ECM (for cooling purposes) by a gear-type fuel transfer pump. The fuel
transfer pump then pushes the fuel through the secondary fuel filter (2-micron). The fuel then
flows to the cylinder head. The fuel enters the cylinder head and flows into the fuel gallery,
where it is made available to each of the six HEUI fuel injectors. Any excess fuel not injected
leaves the cylinder head and flows past the fuel pressure regulator returning to the fuel tank.
The fuel pressure regulator is an orifice that is installed at the rear of the cylinder head. The
fuel pressure regulator maintains fuel system pressure between the fuel transfer pump and the
fuel pressure regulator.
From the fuel pressure regulator, the excess fuel flow returns to the fuel tank. The ratio of fuel
used for combustion and fuel returned to tank is approximately 3:1 (i.e. four times the volume
required for combustion is supplied to the system for combustion and injector cooling
purposes).

A pressure differential switch is installed in the secondary fuel filter base and will alert the
operator of a fuel filter restriction. The pressure differential switch compares the filter inlet
pressure to the filter outlet pressure. When the difference in the inlet and outlet pressures
causes the switch to activate, the Engine ECM will signal the Caterpillar Monitoring System to
warn the operator the fuel flow is probably restricted.
A fuel pressure sensor is installed in the secondary fuel filter base and will signal the Engine
ECM of a high fuel pressure. If the fuel pressure exceeds a pressure of 758 kPa (110 psi) the
Engine ECM will log a E096 code.
The HEUI pump is a variable displacement piston pump that intensifies engine oil pressure and
directs that oil to the individual injectors. The injection actuation solenoid is also contained
inside the HEUI pump. The solenoid is an output directly from the Engine ECM that controls
the amount of oil actuation pressure for the amount of fuel injection.

Power Derate
The illustration above defines the power derate in relation to the rated torque map and the
default torque map. The power derate is a percentage reduction from the rated power at a given
engine speed toward the default map at the same rpm.
The derated power is what has changed, not the actual power in all situations. The actual
power rating lost during a derate is calculated as:
Power_Output = Rated Power - (Rated Power - Default Power) * Percentage of Derate
For example, if the engine has a maximum rated power of 500 hp and a 100 hp default torque
map with a 50% derate, the engine will have 300 hp output power. If 250 hp was needed, then
the operator will not notice any change. If however, 400 hp was needed, there would be only
300 hp available due to a derate.

The fuel system is equipped with two filters: a primary fuel filter/water separator (4) and a
secondary filter (3).
The primary fuel filter is located on the right side of the machine. The primary filter contains a
water separator which removes water from the fuel. Water in a high pressure fuel system can
cause premature failure of the injector due to corrosion and lack of lubrication. Water should
be drained from the water separator daily, using the drain valve that is located at the bottom of
the filter.
The electric fuel priming pump (5) is integrated into the primary fuel filter base. The priming
pump is activated by toggling the fuel priming pump switch (6). The fuel priming pump is
used to fill the fuel filters with fuel after they have been replaced.

The priming pump will purge the air from the entire fuel system. To activate the fuel priming
pump, the key start switch must be in the OFF position.
The fuel system is equipped with a secondary high efficiency fuel filter. Also, installed on the
base is a fuel pressure differential switch (1), and a fuel pressure sensor (2).
The fuel differential pressure switch monitors the difference between the outlet fuel pressure
and the inlet pressure. When the fuel differential pressure exceeds 103 kPa (15 psi) a Level 1
Warning will be initiated. Then, after 4 hours the Engine ECM initiates a Level 2 Warning and
an Engine Derate.
The fuel pressure sensor is used to indicate low fuel pressure. With the C7 HEUI engine, low
fuel pressure initiates a low fuel pressure derate of 50%. The Engine ECM limits the rail oil
pressure because large fueling values will cause late combustion cycles, which results in
excessive smoke and possible engine damage. Also, at startup and after 10 seconds, with low
fuel pressure a 94-11 event is logged. The reason for this event is to detect situations where the
fuel has drained out of the rail and is taking excessive time to reach the required pressure.

The illustration shows a top view of the engine. The Injection Actuation Pressure (IAP) sensor
located in the top of the engine block measures the hydraulic actuation pressure and sends the
actual oil pressure to the Engine ECM. The ECM compares the desired pressure to the actual
pressure in order to figure the proper amount of oil pressure to be sent to the injectors.

The C7 ACERT engines are equipped with a wastegate turbocharger which provides higher
boost over a wide range, improving engine response and peak torque, as well as outstanding
low end performance. All of the exhaust gases go from the exhaust manifold through the
turbocharger.
The exhaust gases enter the turbocharger and drive the turbine wheel. The exhaust exits the
turbocharger through turbine wheel outlet (2) to the muffler. The turbine wheel is connected by
a shaft to the compressor wheel. The turbine wheel rotates the compressor wheel at very high
speeds. The rotation of the compressor wheel pulls clean air through the compressor housing
air inlet (1). The compressor wheel blades force air into the cylinder head to the inlet valves.
The increased amount of forced air enables the engine to burn more fuel, producing increased
power. The engine can operate under low boost conditions. During a lower boost condition,
the canister closes the wastegate, allowing the turbocharger to operate at maximum
performance. Under high boost conditions, the wastegate opens. The open wastegate allows
exhaust gases to bypass the turbine side of the turbocharger. The rpm of the turbocharger is
limited by bypassing a portion of the exhaust gases around the turbine wheel of the
turbocharger.
NOTE: The wastegate calibration is preset at the factory.

The atmospheric pressure sensor (2) is located on the right side of the machine on the engine.
The Engine ECM uses the sensor as a reference for air filter restriction, and derating the engine
under certain parameters. All pressure sensors in the system measure absolute pressure and,
therefore, require the atmospheric (barometric) pressure sensor to calculate gauge pressures.
The atmospheric pressure sensor is one of the many sensors that require a regulated 5.0 VDC
for the sensor supply voltage. The atmospheric pressure sensor outputs a variable DC voltage
signal.

The virtual exhaust temperature derate will log a 194 event code. The derate will enable a
Level 1 Warning and eventually a Level 2 Warning. The level of the warning will depend on
the conditions that are sent to the Engine ECM.
The following conditions must be met in order to initiate a virtual exhaust temperature derate.
- No CID 168 01 FMI (low battery voltage to the Engine ECM) are active.
- No active intake manifold pressure sensor faults.
- No active atmospheric pressure (barometric) sensor faults.
- No +5 V sensor voltage codes active.
- The virtual exhaust temperature derate must be the highest derate.
- More fuel is being requested than the virtual exhaust temperature derate will allow.
This derate is triggered by the information inferred by the Engine ECM, rather than an
individual sensor as with the previous single derate strategies. If you think this derate is
possibly being imposed incorrectly check for event codes on the high intake manifold
temperature and correct those first. Also, make sure the aftercooler is unobstructed. For
additional information about troubleshooting, refer to the troubleshooting manual for the
particular engine that is being serviced.

The intake manifold air heater (1) is located in the intake manifold and the relay (2) is located
on a bracket behind the fuel filter and water separator. The Engine ECM receives temperature
data from both the intake manifold air temperature and coolant temperature sensors to control
energizing of the heater relay. If the altitude is above 1675 m (5500 ft) use the high altitude
coolant and intake manifold air temperature. The high altitude heater control temperatures is
53.3 C (127 F).
The intake manifold air heater has the following five cycles.
1. The first cycle is the power-up. The heater and the indicator lamp are energized for two
seconds at power-up regardless of the temperature.
2. The second cycle is the pre-heat. The heater and indicator lamp will be energized to 30
seconds if the coolant and/or air temperatures are below 25 C (77 F). After 30 seconds,
the heater and indicator lamp are turned OFF if the engine speed is at 0 rpm.
3. The third is the crank cycle. The heater and indicator lamp will be ON continuously if
the coolant and/or air temperature is below 25 C (77 F) as long as the engine is being
cranked.
4. The forth is the engine running cycle. Once the engine is at low idle and the coolant
and/or air temperature is below 25 C (77 F), the heater and indicator lamp are
energized to an additional 7 minutes.
5. The fifth is the post-heat cycle. If the coolant and/or air temperatures are below 25 C
(77 F) the heater and lamp are cycled ON and OFF for an additional 13 minutes. The
cycle is ten seconds ON and then 10 seconds OFF.
Also shown is the Injection Actuation Pressure (IAP) sensor (3).

The ether aid system is an attachment on the 950H, the 962H Wheel Loaders, and the IT62H
Integrated Toolcarrier. This attachment may be added for engine starts in cooler ambient
temperatures. The ether aid system consists of the following components:

- Ether aid solenoid (2)
- Ether aid connector installed on the intake manifold (3)

When the machine is operated in a cold ambient environment, ether may be installed along
with the intake manifold air heater to start the engine. In order to use the ether aid, the ether
aid system must be installed in the engine compartment and the ether aid must be enabled
through Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
For the engines in the 950H, 962H wheel loaders, and the IT62H Integrated Toolcarrier, the
cold start strategy is dependent on whether the intake manifold air temperature or the engine
coolant temperature registers as the lower temperature. The Engine ECM looks at the lowest
temperature between the two sensors and that information registers into the temperature map.
The ECM compares the temperature map against the atmospheric pressure sensor and decides
whether ether is required to start the engine.
If either temperature is below -9 C (15 F) continuous metered ether injection is sent to the
intake manifold at connector (3). If the temperature is above -9 C (15 F), the intake manifold
air heater is enabled.

Also, the transmission speed selector must be in the NEUTRAL position, the parking brake
engaged, and the throttle position sensor output less than 5% for the engine to go to the warm
up mode idle.
Hibernate Mode - This mode is initiated only when the transmission speed selector switch is in
the NEUTRAL position, the parking brake is engaged, the throttle position sensor output is less
than 5%, the coolant temperature is above the EIMS default, the fan bypass is above 23%, and
the implement control levers are not activated. When these parameters are met along with a 10
second period after the parking brake is engaged, the hibernate mode will lower the engine idle
to 600 rpm. The engine will idle at 600 rpm until one of the above parameters are no longer
met.
Low Voltage Mode - In this mode, the engine idle will ramp up to 1100 rpm when the battery
voltage drops below 24.5 VDC and he engine has been running for 5 minutes. The low voltage
mode feature is standard on all machines with EIMS with high current drain due to heavy
electrical loads from custom attachments. When the battery voltage is greater than 24.5 VDC,
the engine idle will return to the current working low idle speed. The 24.5 battery voltage is a
default and can not be reconfigured in ET.

Variable shift control selector switch: The variable shift control switch is an input of the
Power Train ECM. The switch allows the selection of a range of shifting points in the Power
Train ECM for each speed. The switch has three inputs to the Power Train ECM.
Transmission output speed sensors 1 and 2: These sensors measure the transmission output
speed in the range of 25 to 3000 rpm. By looking at the difference in phase in between these 2
sensors, direction can be derived.
Torque converter output speed sensor: Measures the torque converter speed in the range of
25 to 3000 rpm.
Auto/manual speed selector switch (HMU): Signals the Power Train ECM which shift mode
the operator wants to operate on a standard machine. The operator can select between manual
shifting or automatic shifting in the range of gears 4 to 2 or in the range of gears 4 to 1.
Maximum gear, if lower gear than 4 is desired, will be determined by the shift lever position.
Auto/manual Speed selector switch (CCS option): Signals the Power Train ECM which shift
mode the operator wants to operate on a machine with the optional Command Control Steering.
The operator can select between manual shifting and automatic shifting with maximum gear of
4, 3 or 2 and also a 4 to 1 range shifting mode.
Primary steering pressure switch: Sends a signals the Power Train ECM if the steering
system loses steering pressure.
Secondary steering pressure switch: The switch informs the Power Train ECM that the
secondary steering pump is correctly building up pressure. The switch is used as feedback for
the startup test and the manual switch test to ensure that the Secondary steering system is
operating properly.
Left brake pedal position sensor: Signals the position of the torque converter pedal to the
Power Train ECM. The position of the pedal is being used to downshift the transmission and
neutralize the transmission during operation. Both the downshifting and neutralization function
of the pedal can be disabled and hence the pedal would function as a brake pedal only
Parking brake pressure switch: Provides a signal to the Power Train ECM when the pressure
is adequate to release the parking brake.
Ride control switch (OFF, SERVICE, AUTO): Signals the Power Train ECM which mode
the operator wants to operate. The operator should never operate in SERVICE mode. This
mode is for service only.
Secondary steering test switch: Provides an input to the Power Train ECM that will enable
the secondary steering pump.
Transmission neutralizer disable switch: Provides an input to the Power Train ECM that will
disable the the left pedal neutralization of the transmission.

Transmission oil temperature sensor: Provides an input to the Power Train ECM with the
temperature of the transmission oil.
Implement pod downshift switch: The downshift switch provides an input to the Power Train
ECM to downshift the transmission. This switch is only used on a HMU steering machine.
Engine speed: The Power Train ECM receives the engine speed over the CAN Data Link
from the Engine ECM.
Location code enable (grounded): The location code enable is a grounded input signal to the
Power Train ECM that enables the location code detection feature to become active. J1-32 pin
on the Power Train ECM connector is connected.

The Power Train Electronic Control Module (ECM) (arrow) is the central component in the
electronic control system. The ECM is located at the right rear of the cab. The rear panel must
be removed for access to the ECM. The Power Train ECM will be located behind the
operators seat and have the connectors horizontal to each other.
The ECM makes decisions based on switch-type and sensor input signals and memory
information. Input signals to the ECM come from the operator's station, the machine, and the
transmission.
The operator's station input components consist of direction and shift switches, the neutralizer
and neutralizer override switches, the park brake switch, the key start switch, and the
auto/manual select switch. Optional switch inputs are the ride control switch and the secondary
steer test switch.
The machine input components are the engine speed sensor, the primary steering pressure
switch, the optional secondary steering pressure switch, and the Caterpillar Monitoring System
message center module.
The transmission input components are the transmission oil temperature sensor, the torque
converter output speed sensor, and the two transmission output speed sensors.
The ECM communicates with other electronic control modules, such as the Caterpillar
Monitoring System, the Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM), and the Electrohydraulic
Electronic Control Module (ECM), through the Cat Data Link. The Cat Data Link allows the
transmission ECM to receive and send information.

The power train and the implement use the same A4M1 Electronic Control Module (ECM). To
enable the A4M1 Electronic Control Module ECM for power train functions, contact (J1-27) is
grounded. Contact (J1-32) is grounded in order to enable the ECM.
The Power Train ECM responds to machine control decisions by sending a signal to the
appropriate circuit which initiates an action. For example, the operator selects an upshift with
the shift lever. The Power Train ECM interprets the input signals from the shift lever, evaluates
the current machine operating status, and energizes the appropriate modulating valve.
The Power Train ECM receives three different types of input signals:
1. Switch input: Provides the signal line to battery, ground, or open.
2. PM input: Provides the signal line with a square wave of a specific frequency and a
varying positive duty cycle.
3. Speed signal: Provides the signal line with either a repeating, fixed voltage level pattern
signal or a sine wave of varying level and frequency.
The Power Train ECM has three types of output drivers:
1. ON/OFF driver: Provides the output device with a signal level of +Battery voltage
(ON) or less than one Volt (OFF).
2. PM solenoid driver: Provides the output device with a square wave of fixed frequency
and a varying positive duty cycle.
3. Controlled current output driver: The ECM will energize the solenoid with 1.25 amps
for approximately one half second and then decrease the level to 0.8 amps for the
duration of the on time. The initial higher amperage gives the actuator rapid response
and the decreased level is sufficient to hold the solenoid in the correct position. An
added benefit is an increase in the life of the solenoid.
The Power Train ECM controls the transmission speed and directional clutches. The Power
Train ECM interprets signals from the shift lever to signal the transmission to perform the
following options: Upshift, Downshift, Forward, Neutral, and Reverse.
The Power Train ECM communicates through the CAT Data Link. The CAT Data Link allows
high speed proprietary serial communications over a twisted pair of wires. The CAT Data Link
allows different systems on the machine to communicate with each other and also with service
tools such as Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ETC).
The Power Train ECM has built-in diagnostic capabilities. As the Power Train ECM detects
fault conditions in the power train system, it logs the faults in memory and displays them
through the Caterpillar Monitoring System.

This illustration shows the location of the ride control ON/OFF/AUTO switch (1). The ride
control switch has three positions. In the center position, ride control is disabled. In the UP
position (as shown) the ride control switch is in the AUTO position. With the switch in AUTO,
the ride control system will be enabled when the machine is traveling at least 9.5 km/h (6.0
mph). The SERVICE position (as shown on the switch) is used for service to the ride control
system.
The transmission neutralization disable switch (2) is used to disable the neutralization of the left
brake pedal. Pressing the upper section of the switch will activate the override. When the
neutralization is enabled, the left brake pedal will not neutralize the transmission, but will
function as a service brake only. The normal, default position of the switch is the lower
(released) position
The heated mirror switch (3) enables the heated mirror relay that is located behind the
operator's seat below the Power Train ECM.
If the machine is equipped with the optional secondary steering, there will be a secondary
steering test switch (4) mounted in the blocked position on the panel. When the switch is
depressed it feeds a ground signal to a relay and also to a switch input on the Power Train
ECM. The relay turns on the secondary steering pump motor, which builds up pressure in the
steering hydraulic lines.
The Power Train ECM is monitoring the pressure of the secondary steering hydraulic lines to
ensure the pressure has increased to an acceptable level while the pump is running.

The 950H and 962H Wheel Loaders and IT62H Integrated Toolcarrier are equipped with a
variable shift control switch (1). The Power Train (ECM) uses the position of the variable shift
control switch and the engine speed in order to determine the autoshift points for the
transmission. The variable shift control switch has three inputs to the power train electronic
control module (ECM).
The auto/manual gear selector switch (2) sends a signal to the Power Train ECM to control
shifting mode in auto. The Power Train (ECM) shifts the transmission automatically. The
Power Train ECM evaluates the input that is sent from the engine speed sensor, the
transmission speed sensors, the torque converter output speed sensor, and the left brake pedal
position sensor in order to regulate transmission shifts. The automatic mode of operation is
represented by two numbers that are separated by a dash. The first number indicates the speed
of the transmission when the transmission is placed into gear. The second number indicates the
highest speed of the transmission when the machine is travelling.
For example, place the autoshift control switch into the 2-4 position. The machine will
automatically shift into second gear when the transmission is placed into gear. The
transmission will automatically upshift into fourth gear as the machine accelerates.
The Power Train ECM does not allow upshifts to a speed that is higher than the speed that is
selected with the transmission direction and speed control lever. An automatic downshift from
second speed to first speed occurs only if the autoshift switch is in the 1-4 position.

This illustration shows the panel with the optional Command Control Steering. The
Auto/Manual gear selector switch (arrow) sends a signal to the Power Train ECM to control
shifting mode in auto. In the MANUAL position, the operator is responsible for upshifting and
downshifting the transmission. The Power Train ECM automatically shifts the transmission if
the autoshift switch is in one of the four AUTO positions and the left brake pedal must be
released. The Power Train ECM evaluates the inputs that is sent from the engine speed sensor,
transmission speed sensors, the torque converter output speed sensor, and the left brake pedal
position sensor in order to regulate transmission shifts.
When the machine is operating in "AUTO" mode, the transmission speed selector switch can be
used in order to downshift the transmission. This switch is normally used to downshift from
second speed to first speed in order to load a bucket. The transmission will remain in the
downshifted gear for three seconds after the switch is released. Then, automatic shifting will
resume. If the transmission is downshifted to first speed, the machine remains there until there
is a direction change or a manual upshift.
For example, place the autoshift switch into position "3." The machine will automatically shift
into second gear when the transmission is placed into gear. The transmission will automatically
upshift into third speed when the machine accelerates. An automatic downshift from second
speed to first speed occurs only if the autoshift switch is in the 1-4 position.
The Power Train ECM does not allow automatic upshifts to a speed that is higher than the
speed that is selected with the auto/manual switch. The autoshift switch is used to select the
top speed for the transmission when the transmission is in the AUTO mode. There are four
modes of automatic operation: 4 position, 3 position, 2 position, and 1-4 position.

The Power Train ECM receives inputs from three speed sensors on the transmission. The three
speed sensors are:
- the No. 1 output speed sensor (1)
- the No. 2 output speed sensor (2)
- the torque converter output speed sensor (3)
The output speed sensors (1 and 2) are positioned out of phase with each other. The Power
Train ECM uses the phasing of the input data to determine the direction of rotation of the
intermediate and output gears. The torque converter output speed sensor measures torque
converter output speed in the range of 25 to 3000 rpm. The speed sensor information is also
used by the Power Train ECM to set and adjust transmission shift points.

The Power Train ECM has no direct feed back information to determine if clutch engagement
and disengagement is completed. The Power Train ECM uses the speed sensor information,
including the engine speed sensor data, to measure expected clutch slippage and planetary
speeds to ensure the transmission is shifting according to the application program stored in the
ECM memory.
The torque converter speed sensor (3) sends the torque converter speed to the Power Train
ECM.
A passive (two-wire) magnetic frequency-type sensor converts mechanical motion to an AC
voltage. A typical magnetic pickup consists of a coil, a pole piece, a magnet, and a housing.
The sensor produces a magnetic field that, when altered by the passage of a gear tooth,
generates an AC voltage in the coil. The AC voltage is proportional to speed. The frequency
of the AC signal is exactly proportional to speed (rpm).
Magnetic pickup sensors rely on the distance between the end of the pickup and the passing
gear teeth to operate properly. Typically when the pickup is installed, it is turned in until the
sensor makes contact with the top of a gear tooth and then turned back out a partial turn before
it is locked in place with a locking nut. A weak signal may indicate the sensor is too far away
from the gear. It is important to check the specifications when installing these sensors to insure
the proper spacing.
Transmission speed sensors may be used in pairs. The sensors are often called upper and
lower, top and bottom, or primary and secondary referring to the operating range they are
designed for. Although the sensors have an optimum operating range, in case of a failure the
ECM will use the signal from the remaining sensor as a backup. The speed sensor may be
checked for both static and dynamic operation. With the sensor disconnected from the machine
electrical harness, a resistance reading of the pickup coil (measured between pins) should read
a coil resistance of approximately 1075 ohms. Some magnetic pickups may measure as high as
1200 ohms. The resistance value differs between pickup types, but an infinite resistance
measurement would indicate an open coil, while a zero reading would indicate a shorted coil.

In the initial clutch filling stage, the Transmission ECM commands a high current pulse to
quickly move the valve spool to start filling the clutch. During this short period of time, the
clutch piston moves to remove the clearances between the clutch discs and plates to minimize
the amount of time required to fill the clutch. The ECM then reduces the current signal which
reduces the pressure setting of the proportional solenoid valve. The change in current signal
reduces the flow of oil to the clutch. The point where the clutch plates and discs start to touch
is called TOUCH-UP.
Once TOUCH-UP is obtained, the Transmission ECM begins a controlled increase of the
current signal to start the MODULATION cycle. The increase in the current signal causes the
ball and pin to further restrict oil through the drain orifice to tank causing a controlled
movement of the spool to the right. The spool movement allows the pressure in the clutch to
increase.
During the MODULATION cycle, the valve spool working with the variable commanded
current signal from the Transmission ECM acts as a variable pressure reducing valve.
The sequence of partial engagement is called desired slippage. The desired slippage is
controlled by the application program stored in the Transmission ECM.

The different maximum specified pressures for each clutch is caused by different maximum
current signals being sent by the Transmission ECM to each individual modulating valve. The
different maximum signal causes a difference in the force pushing the pin against the ball to
block leakage through the drain orifice in each solenoid valve. The different rate of leakage
through the spool drain orifice provides different balance positions for the proportional solenoid
valve spool. Changing the valve spool position changes the flow of oil to the clutch and the
resulting maximum clutch pressure.
The operation of the proportional solenoids to control the engaging and releasing of clutches is
not a simple on and off cycle. The Transmission ECM varies the strength of the current signal
through a programmed cycle to control movement of the valve spool.
The clutch pressures can be changed using Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) and the
4C8195 Service Tool during the calibration procedure.
The actual Transmission ECM current cycle and transmission calibration will be discussed later
in this presentation.

Transmission Modulating Valve - Solenoids
This illustration shows the location of the transmission modulating valves.
The six modulating valves on the top of the transmission are located over the respective
planetaries they control. The solenoid valves provide electronically controlled pressure
modulation. The transmission shifting function is controlled by the Transmission Electronic
Control Module (ECM). The Transmission ECM and the transmission modulating valves
provide modulation to each individual clutch listed below.
- Reverse (1)
- Forward (2)
- Fourth speed (3)
- Third speed (4)
- Second speed (2)
- First speed (6)
Also shown is the transmission main relief valve (7), the two transmission output speed

The main Power Train ECM output is the pulse width modulated current signal that is sent to
the six transmission modulating valves. The Power Train ECM analyzes the input signals and
memory information and activates current drivers within the ECM. The current drivers send
electrical pulse width current to energize the modulating valves that are located on the
transmission clutch housing.
The varying signal strength sent to each proportional solenoid valve by the Transmission ECM
controls the rate of oil flow and the rate of pressure modulation of each clutch. In turn, the
solenoids provide electronically controlled clutch filling and pressure modulation.

This illustration shows the major components of the torque converter. The rotating housing is
shown in red. The rotating housing has a direct mechanical connection to the engine flywheel.
The turbine and the output shaft are shown in blue, and are mechanically connected. The free
wheel stator and the carrier are shown in green. The impeller is shown in pink. The bearings
are shown in yellow.
The impeller is bolted to the rotating housing and rotates at engine speed.
Charge oil from the torque converter inlet relief valve enters the inlet passage in the carrier and
fills the torque converter. The torque converter outlet relief, which is connected to the outlet
passage, maintains the minimum pressure in the torque converter.
As the impeller rotates, it directs oil against the turbine blades, causing the turbine to rotate.
Turbine rotation causes the output shaft to rotate. During NO LOAD conditions, the output
shaft rotates at nearly the same speed as the engine flywheel. As load is applied, the output
shaft slows down. A decrease in output shaft speed causes the rpm of the turbine to decrease.
As the output shaft speed is decreased, the output torque from the torque converter increases.
When the output shaft is stalled, the torque converter is applying maximum torque to the output
shaft.
SERV1824

Text Reference
The torque converter is equipped with a freewheel stator. The stator, which is mounted to the
torque converter outer housing is stationery. When a load is applied, the output shaft slows
down. When the turbine is turning slower than the impeller, the stator redirects the oil from the
turbine and increases the pressure on the turbine. The increase in pressure on the turbine tends
to increase the torque output from the torque converter.
When the output shaft is turning at near the same speed as the impeller, the stator freewheels
backwards to reduce the drag and turbulence inside the torque converter. The stator freewheels
in light load applications and multiplies torque in heavy load applications.

This illustration shows the message center for the Caterpillar Monitoring System.
When the Caterpillar Monitoring System is in the Service Mode (Mode 3), the
Message Center (arrow) shows the fault codes. The fault codes consist of the Module Identifier
(MID), followed by the Component Identifier (CID), and the Failure Mode Identifier (FMI).
The MID tells which electronic control module diagnosed the fault. An MID of 081 means the
fault was diagnosed in the Power Train ECM. MID's are listed on the machine Electrical
Schematic in the Service Manual.
The CID tells which component is faulty. For example, CID 623 means the fault was
diagnosed in the transmission directional switch.
The FMI tells the type of failure. For example, an FMI of 05 means the failure is an open
circuit or current value is below normal.

In the Normal Mode, when the brake pedal reaches the neutralization set point and the
transmission neutralizer override switch is in the OFF position, the Transmission ECM will
DE-ENERGIZE the direction clutch solenoid to neutralize the transmission when the following
conditions exist:
or
-
If the left brake pedal is raised 4 above the Neutralization Set Point, a signal is sent to the
modulating valve to engage the direction clutch. At this time, the drive train will be
re-engaged. Normally, the travel of the left brake pedal will overshoot the Neutralization Set
Point. Each time the brake travel over shoots the Neutralization Set point without being
released into the dead band zone, the New Neutralization point moves down the point of the
overshoot. The Power Train ECM will retain the New Neutralization Point until the left brake
pedal is released and the pedal is into the dead band zone.
In normal conditions, the best gear for loading trucks is 2nd, or "Second Auto." The operator
pushes the bucket into the pile, and then manually shifts the transmission down to
FORWARD 1. When the bucket is full, the operator changes the direction of the machine to
REVERSE. In SECOND AUTO, the transmission automatically reverses in REVERSE 2,
instead of REVERSE 1.
The auto/manual selector switch sets parameters in the ECM that influence the Integrated Brake
System. On a machines equipped with the optional Command Control Steering (CCS), the
switch has 5 positions: 1-4, 2, 3, 4, and MANUAL. The switch position for the smoothest
neutralization during truck loading in normal applications is 2. Smoothest means high engine
speed with the following limitations: unacceptable jerkiness during slowdown, unacceptable
engine overspeed during slowdown, and unacceptable transmission overspeed during
slowdown.
On machines equipped with the standard Hand Metering Unit HMU steering, the auto/manual
selector switch has 3 positions: 1-4, 2-4, and MANUAL. With the speed selector on the
steering column in the 2 position, the ideal auto/manual selector switch position for the
smoothest neutralization during truck loading in normal applications is 2-4.

The Implement Electronic Control Module (ECM) (arrow) is the central component in the
implement electronic control system. The ECM is located at the right side of the cab behind
the seat. The rear panel must be removed for access to the ECM. The Implement ECM will be
located behind the operators seat and have the connectors vertical to each other.
The ECM makes decisions based on switch-type and sensor input signals and memory
information. Input signals to the ECM come from the operator's station, the machine, and the
transmission.
The operator's station input components consist of lift/tilt kickout switches, a fine modulation
switch, the hydraulic lockout switch to energize the hydraulic lockout valve, and the autodig
feature switches.
The machine input components are the linkage position sensor, the lever position sensors, and
the Caterpillar Monitoring System message center module.
The Implement ECM communicates with other electronic control modules, such as the
Caterpillar Monitoring System, the Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM), and the Power
Train Electronic Control Module (ECM), through the Cat Data Link.
The implement system uses the A4M1 Electronic Control Module (ECM). To enable the
Implement ECM for implement functions, contact (J1-28) is grounded and contact (J1-32) is
grounded in order to enable the ECM.

The Implement ECM responds to machine control decisions by sending a signal to the
appropriate circuit which initiates an action. For example, the operator selects to set the lift
kickout. The Implement ECM interprets the input signals from the switch, evaluates the
current machine operating status, and de-energizes the appropriate solenoid valve when the
preset duty cycle of the linkage position sensor is met.
The Implement ECM receives the following three different types of input signals:
1. Switch input: Provides the signal line to battery, ground, or open.
2. PWM input: Provides the signal line with a square wave of a specific frequency and a
varying positive duty cycle.
3. Speed signal: Provides the signal line with either a repeating, fixed voltage level pattern
signal or a sine wave of varying level and frequency.
The Implement ECM has the following three types of output drivers:
1. ON/OFF driver: Provides the output device with a signal level of +Battery voltage
(ON) or less than one Volt (OFF).
2. PWM solenoid driver: Provides the output device with a square wave of fixed
frequency and a varying positive duty cycle.
3. Controlled current output driver: The ECM will energize the solenoid with 1.25 amps
for approximately one half second and then decrease the level to 0.8 amps for the
duration of the on time. The initial higher amperage gives the actuator rapid response
and the decreased level is sufficient to hold the solenoid in the correct position. An
added benefit is an increase in the life of the solenoid.
The Implement ECM controls the lift, tilt, and the auxiliary solenoid valves in the main control
valve. The Implement ECM interprets signals from the implement control lever to send current
to the appropriate solenoid valves in order to perform one or more of the following options:
Lift, Lower, Tilt Back, and Dump. Also, the Implement ECM triggers the Autodig operator
trigger indicator, the Autodig record mode indicator, and the fuel pressure indicator.
The Implement ECM communicates through the CAT Data Link. The CAT Data Link allows
high speed proprietary serial communications over a twisted pair of wires. The CAT Data Link
allows different systems on the machine to communicate with each other and also with service
tools such as Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
The Implement ECM has built-in diagnostic capabilities. As the Implement ECM detects fault
conditions in the power train system, it logs the faults in memory and displays them on the
Caterpillar Monitoring System.

Autodig Control Arrangement
Autodig automatically controls the implement system cycles. At the same time Autodig limits
the tire slippage by keeping the front tires loaded. There are three modes that Autodig can
operate in: Automatic Pile Detection Mode, Operator Triggered Mode, and Record Mode.
The Autodig operation mode switch (2) activates Autodig when the top of the switch is pressed
and deactivates Autodig when the bottom of the switch is pressed. When Autodig is ON, the
spring-loaded switch is held in the center position. Pressing the top of the switch will allow the
operator to toggle between the three operating modes. Autodig is disabled by default when the
key start switch is turned ON.
The automatic pile detection mode indicator (5), operator triggered mode indicator (6), and the
record mode indicator (7) flash ON and OFF to indicate the mode that is currently active.
SERV1824
10/06
- 112 -
Text Reference
The Autodig horn also indicates which mode is active by beeping once in the automatic pile
detection mode, twice in the operator triggered mode, and three times in the record mode. The
Autodig horn also sounds to indicate when Autodig begins and ends a bucket loading cycle.
The Autodig kickout position set switch (3) is used to set the lift cylinder kickout position when
Autodig is activated.
The Autodig dig mode switch (1) is a 10 position rotary switch which provides a range of dig
modes from the lightest material in position 1, to heavier or larger material in position 9.
Position 10 on the Autodig dig mode switch is used for the record/playback position. By
default, position 10 is identical to position 9 until the operator has recorded a bucket loading
cycle.
Autodig will downshift the transmission to an appropriate gear for loading, based on the
position of the autodig material selector switch. In positions 1 or 2 (light material), the
transmission will downshift only to 2nd gear. The machine will load in 1st gear if already in
that gear when bucket loading starts. With the Autodig material selector switch in positions 3
through 9, the transmission will automatically downshift to 1st gear upon pile entry, regardless
of the position of the autoshift selector switch if the machine is in 2nd or 3rd gear.
Automatic pile detection mode automatically controls bucket loading. When loading is
complete, the bucket and linkage return to the Autodig kickout position.
The operator triggered mode is used if the operator wants to control the loading cycle. In the
operator triggered mode, Autodig is activated when the operator presses the trigger switch (4)
to indicate when the pile has been contacted. After the trigger switch is pressed, the system
automatically loads the bucket and returns the bucket and linkage to the Autodig kickout
position.
Record mode allows the operator to record the bucket loading cycle and replay the cycle if the
preprogrammed modes are not acceptable. Autodig records all lever movements while loading
the bucket. The lever movements are stored in the record/playback position of the Autodig
selector switch.

The oil flows into the inlet manifold and is divided into two paths. The supply path for the
implements flows through the inlet manifold into the tilt section where the flow path is divided
again. One path flows to the tilt stem and is blocked. The second path flows to the lift control
section, to the ride control section, to the optional auxiliary section, and to the cover manifold.
Within the cover manifold, the oil flows to both the pilot pressure reducing valve (PRV) and
the margin relief valve. The margin relief valve maintains a difference between the load
sensing pressure and the pump supply oil pressure of 3000 kPa (435 psi). When all of the
control valves are in the HOLD position, the implement pump is at low pressure standby. The
margin relief valve maintains the minimum pressure for low pressure standby. The standby
pressure is directed to the pilot pressure reducing valve, and the pilot pressure reducing valve
provides a regulated pilot oil pressure to activate the control valves as needed.
The pilot oil flows from the PRV through the check valve to the pilot accumulator and the
hydraulic lockout solenoid valve. If the wheel loader is equipped with the optional Command
Control Steering (CCS), the oil flow will be shared by the implement pilot system and the
steering pilot system.
The hydraulic lockout solenoid valve is in the CLOSED position until the hydraulic lockout
switch in the cab is activated. When the solenoid valve is energized, the solenoid valve opens
and pilot oil flows to the various implement function solenoid valves.
The second path of oil in the inlet manifold flows through the screen to the signal duplication
valve. The signal duplication valve uses the pump supply oil to duplicate the signal from the
highest pressure in the resolver network. When all implement control valves are in the HOLD
position, there is no load sensing signal in the resolver network. With no load sensing pressure
present, the implement pump is at low pressure standby.

Three compensators are shown in various states in this illustration. The pressure compensator
valve for valve "A" is in HOLD. The circuit with the highest workport pressure keeps the
resolver valve closed.
The circuit with the highest work port pressure regulates the oil flow through all activated
control valves. The highest work port pressure is directed through the ball resolver network to
the pump control valve as the load sensing pressure.
When a high pressure circuit is activated as shown for valve "C," the control spool is shifted
and pump supply oil enters the feeder passage below the pressure compensator valve. Pressure
increases and the pressure compensator valve moves up. When the valve moves up, supply oil
enters the bridged passage of the control valve. Supply oil in the bridged passage enters the
signal network sending the work port pressure to the signal duplication valve.

Text Reference
The work port oil pressure goes to the signal duplication valve. The signal duplication valve is
a shock absorber. The valve uses the work port pressure signal and the pump system pressure
signal to generate a stabilized load sensing signal which is sent to the pump control valve. The
pump control valve directs a pressure signal to the actuator piston to UPSTROKE the pump.
The increased flow lifts the pressure compensator spool up. The flow goes through the bridge
passage, around the control spool, and out to the work port.
The signal oil also flows to the chamber above the compensator. The signal oil on the top of
the pressure compensator valve works against the forces working below the pressure
compensator. When the forces are in balance, the supply oil is metered through the crossdrilled holes in the pressure compensator to provide work port oil. The pressure of the signal
oil is limited by the signal relief valve.
When more than one circuit is activated at the same time, the highest work port pressure is
directed to the signal duplication valve. The signal duplication valve sends the signal oil to the
chamber at the top of all pressure compensators valves.
With the same circuit pressure working on all pressure compensators, the pressure differential
across all shifted control stems is the same, as shown in the illustration for the pressure
compensator for valve "C" and for valve "B." The pressure differential across the control stems
will be the same value whether the pump can supply the flow demand for all activated circuits
or not.
For example, if the margin pressure is 2100 kPa (300 psi) the pressure differential between the
pump supply passage and the feeder passage is approximately 2100 kPa (300 psi) regardless of
the circuit pressure. With multiple valves activated, the individual circuit pressures will vary.
When the pump cannot meet the flow needs of all activated circuits, the pressure compensators
will move down to proportion the pump flow in relation to the amount of control spool travel
and pressure for each circuit. The pressure differential will be less than described in the
example, but the pressure differential will be the same for all spools.
Valve "B" pressure compensator shows what occurs when an additional circuit is activated with
a lower circuit pressure than the first activated valve.
The pressure compensator valve will respond to changes in the circuit pressure by opening and
closing off the passage between the feeder passage and the bridged passage to maintain a
constant flow rate for a given control stem displacement. As the compensator opens and closes,
the pressure differential across the compensator will vary in order to maintain a constant flow
rate to the implement. The pressure differential across the main control spool is the same for
all activated main control spools.

Text Reference
The load signal from the valve "C" pressure compensator is directed to the top of the valve "B"
pressure compensator valve with the lower circuit pressure. When the control spool is moved,
pressure oil in the feeder passage moves the pressure compensator valve up. The pressure
compensator valve does not move up enough to open the resolver valve to the signal network
due to the higher forces working on the resolver valve.
The pressure compensator valve will respond to changes in the circuit pressure by opening and
closing off the passage between the feeder passage and the bridged passage to maintain a
constant flow rate for a given control spool displacement. As the compensator opens and
closes, the pressure differential across the compensator will vary in order to maintain a constant
flow rate to the implement, while the pressure differential across the main control spool is the

The pilot pressure reducing valve limits maximum pilot pressure to 3450 170 kPa
(500 25 psi). The implement pump oil flows through the cover manifold, regulated pilot oil
is directed to the various implement function solenoid valves.
The load sensing signal moves the pump load sensing spool in the pump control valve to
upstroke the pump. The signal circuit is also equipped with a choke check valve. The valve
will allow free flow to the pump control valve. Also, the choke check valve will slow the
signal flow return back to the hydraulic tank.
With the control lever moved to DUMP direction, the current proportional to the movement of
the control lever is directed to the coil on the dump pilot solenoid valve. The solenoid valve
sends a proportional amount of pilot oil to the dump end of the tilt spool. The tilt spool begins
to shift upward. The lower end of the tilt spool is active.
Supply oil flowing through the inlet manifold is directed around the lands of the tilt spool to the
load check valve. The check valve unseats. Supply oil flows to the tilt pressure compensator
valve. The oil flow through the compensator valve is blocked. As the pressure at the top of the
compensator valve increases, the oil pressure shifts the compensator spool downward. The
supply oil flows through the compensator valve and back around the tilt spool to the rod end of
the tilt cylinder.
The supply oil is directed to rod end of the tilt cylinder. Also, as the tilt lever is moved, the
solenoid for the tilt antidrift valve is energized. The oil from the head end of the tilt cylinder
flows around the load check valve, through the tilt spool and back to tank.
Oil directed to the rod end of the tilt cylinder through the bridge passage is also directed to the
tilt ball resolver in the resolver network. When the work port pressure increases the pressure in
the resolver network, the resolver ball shifts and blocks oil from any other resolvers in the
network. The oil pressure at the tilt ball resolver is directed to the top of the signal duplication
valve or load sensing pressure.
The dump operation is also equipped with a makeup and a line relief valve. The line relief
valve regulates the pressure spikes caused by outside forces acting on the work tool. This
allows the pressure spike to return to the hydraulic tank. This will prevent high pressure from
damaging any components in the work tool or actuator. The line relief valve acts like a makeup
valve when the pump can not supply the amount of oil needed to fill the void in the cylinder.
When the negative pressure occurs in the tilt cylinder, the valves move off the seat and tank oil
flows around the valve to fill the void in the cylinder.
NOTE: The pilot line used on the optional Command Control Steering has been removed from
the illustration.

The pressure at the work port begins to increase which increases the pressure in the lift resolver
network. The ball resolver moves downward and oil flows through the resolver network to the
top of the signal duplication valve.
The signal duplication valve shifts and sends a matching resolver network pressure out of the
duplication valve over the choke check valve to the pump control valve. The implement pump
upstrokes to supply the flow demand.
Also, matching oil from the signal duplication valve flows to the pressure compensator valve
working on the bottom of the compensator valve. As the pressure changes in the head end of
the lift cylinders, the pressure compensator valve opens and closes to maintain a constant flow
for a given control spool displacement.
If the machine is equipped with the optional ride control, the balance valve solenoid will be
energized, allowing oil on the right side of the balance valve to go to the hydraulic tank. As the
pressure in the head end of the lift cylinders increases to raise, the oil pressure on the left side
of the balance valve will force the balance valve to shift to the right. Supply oil flows over the
check valve, through the balance valve to the ride control accumulator, charging the
accumulator.
With ride control not enabled, the head end solenoid valve is de-energized. The accumulator
charge oil plus the spring pressure holds the valve closed. The flow of oil between the head
end of the lift cylinders and the accumulator is blocked. With the rod end solenoid valve also
de-energized, the oil flow through the solenoid valve will be blocked by the spring holding the
valve closed. The oil from the rod end of the lift cylinders flows around the lift spool to the
hydraulic tank.

The work port oil pressure goes through the holes in the pressure compensator valve to the area
between the compensator valve and the load check spool. The oil pressure helps the spring
force hold the pressure compensator valve down to function as a load check valve.
As the cylinders start to move, the pressure at the work ports increase which increases the
pressure in the resolver network. The ball resolver with the highest work port pressure moves,
seats, and blocks oil flow back through the resolver network. The highest work port pressure
flows through the resolver network to the top of the signal duplication valve.
The signal duplication valve shifts and sends the matching resolver network pressure out of the
duplication valve over the choke check valve to the pump control valve. The implement pump
recognizes a demand for increased oil flow and the pump upstrokes to supply the flow demand.
Also, matching oil from the signal duplication valve flows to the pressure compensator valve
working on the bottom of the load check spool. As the pressure changes in the head end of the

When the ground speed reaches the ECM configured value of 9.7 km/h (6 mph), the balance
solenoid valve will be de-energized and the balance spool will move in the direction needed to
equalize the pressures on each end of the balance spool.
During the balancing operation, when the pressure at the right side of the balance spool is
lowest, the spool shifts to the right and the implement pump supplies oil flow to equalize the
pressure on both ends of the spool.
During the balancing operation, when the pressure at the left side of the balance spool is
lowest, the spool shifts to the left and the pressure in the oil pressure in the accumulator flows
to tank until the pressures on both ends of the spool are equal.
The Power Train ECM limits the time to equalize to one second (default). Then, the ECM
energizes the balance solenoid valve. The oil pressure on the right end of the balance spool
flows through the orifice to the hydraulic tank. The balance spool shifts to the right. Oil in the
accumulator is trapped at the check valve.
After the one second balancing time, the rod end solenoid and the head end solenoid valves are
energized. The oil pressure that holds the check valves locked is released to tank. The oil in
the head end of the lift cylinders flows to the ride control accumulator. The accumulator
cushions the forward and backward pitching motions of the machine.
At a ground speed below the ECM configured valve of 9.7 km/h (6 mph), the rod end solenoid
and the head end solenoid valves are de-energized. The check valves close and the spring force
and the oil pressure hold the check valves closed.
NOTE: The one second balance default time can be reconfigured in the Power Train
ECM through Cat ET. Also, the forward and reverse activation speeds can be changed.

than the force on the left side and the piston remains seated to the left. The pressure oil does
not flow to the return passages and to the hydraulic tank.

This diagram shows the components and oil flow for the 950H/962H standard steering system.
The primary steering system is made up of two basic circuits: main circuit and pilot circuit.
The steering system includes a third circuit if the 950H/962H is equipped with the optional
secondary steering system.
The main steering circuit consists of the steering pump, the steering control valve, the steering
cylinders, and the hydraulic oil tank.
The variable displacement piston steering pump draws oil from the tank and sends flow to the
steering control valve.
The steering pilot circuit consists of the metering pump, a check valve, and two neutralizer
valves. The supply oil is ported through an orifice to the steering pilot circuit. When the
steering wheel is moved to the left or right, the metering pump sends pilot oil through the
respective neutralizer valve to the selector spool and directional stem in the steering control
valve. The pilot oil moves the directional spool and directs pump supply oil to the steering
cylinders.

This diagram shows the system in the HOLD position. The steering supply oil to the steering
cylinders is blocked.
The optional secondary steering system consists of the secondary steering pump/electric motor
and the secondary steering valve. The secondary diverter steering valve contains two check
valves, the primary steering pressure switch, and the secondary steering pressure switch. Also,
the secondary steering system includes an intermediate relay to run the electric motor. The
relay receives current from the Power Train ECM to enable the relay. When the relay is
engaged, battery voltage flows to the electric motor.

Steering Pump - LOW PRESSURE STANDBY
This illustration shows the steering pump in LOW PRESSURE STANDBY. When there is no
demand for steering system oil, the pump goes to LOW PRESSURE STANDBY. At that
position, the pump produces a sufficient amount of flow to compensate for internal leakage and
to maintain sufficient pressure to ensure instantaneous response when the signal from the HMU
commands steering oil flow.
At STANDBY, no load sensing pressure signal is detected at the flow compensator spool.
Pump supply oil pushes the flow compensator spool up and system pressure is then directed
into the large actuator piston. The large actuator piston moves the swashplate towards
minimum angle until the cross-drilled hole in the large actuator piston opens to case drain. At
this point, the pressure inside the piston decreases and the pump stops destroking. The pump
will supply sufficient flow to maintain the standby pressure and to compensate for internal
leakage.
NOTE: LOW PRESSURE STANDBY is more than margin pressure because of the
higher back pressure the blocked oil at the closed-center valves creates when all of the
control valves are in NEUTRAL. The pump supply oil pushes the margin spool up to
further compress the margin spring. More supply oil goes to the large actuator piston
and flows through the cross-drilled hole in the stem to the pump case.

When the engine is running and the steering pump is supplying oil to the steering system, oil
flows into the diverter valve through the line (6) and oil flows over the check valve (5) through
the line (8) to the steering control valve (not shown). At this time, the oil pressure in the
primary steering system holds the check valve (4) against the seat.
When the primary steering pressure switch senses a loss of oil pressure in the primary system,
the secondary system is initiated. At this time, the primary pressure switch closes and
illuminates the primary steering warning LED. Oil flows into the diverter valve through the
line (7) (behind the pressure switch), over the check valve (4) and out to the steering control
valve through the line (8). At this time, the check valve (5) is seated. When the Power Train
ECM enables the secondary steering pump motor, the secondary pressure switch (2) measures
the oil pressure in the secondary steering system and sends a signal to illuminate the secondary
steering alert indicator.

The main steering circuit consists of: the steering pump, the steering control valve, the steering
cylinders, the back-up relief valve, and the hydraulic oil tank. The variable displacement piston
steering pump draws oil (green) from the tank and sends flow (red) to the steering control
valve. The steering valve is equipped with a directional spool which directs oil to the head end
of one steering cylinder and to the head end of the other steering cylinder for machine
articulation. Also, the steering control valve sends load sensing oil (green) to the pump control
valve on the steering pump to control upstroking and destroking.

As the steering wheel is rotated, the directional control valve also rotates. This movement
allows pilot oil from the pressure regulating valve to flow through the directional control valve
port through the quad check valve to the neutralizer valve and the steering control valve
directional spool.
When the pilot pressure moves the steering control valve directional spool to the RIGHT
TURN position, the steering control valve directs main pump oil to the head end of the left
steering cylinder and the rod end of the right steering cylinder. The machine articulates to the
right.
When the steering wheel is returned to the CENTER position, the flow of pilot oil to the
steering control valve directional spool is blocked. The centering spring in the steering control
valve moves the directional spool to the neutral position and the machine stops articulating.
NOTE: The machine turning speed depends on the rotational position of the steering
wheel. The farther the steering wheel is turned, the faster the machine will turn. The
turning speed of the machine does not depend on how fast the steering wheel is turned.

The supply oil from the steering pump flows over the back-up relief valve. If the pressure
exceeds 23500 kPa (3400 psi), the back-up relief valve opens and excess oil flows to the
hydraulic tank. Also, the steering control valve is equipped with a pressure reducing valve.
The reducing valve will supply pilot oil to the steering pilot valve if the pilot oil supply is lost.
The steering control valve is also equipped with a crossover relief valve. In case of a pressure
spike above 25600 kPa (3700 psi) as the machine is articulating, the crossover relief valve will
open and send the excessive oil pressure to the hydraulic tank.
When the machine fully articulates, the stop mounted on the loader frame contacts the
neutralizer valve mounted on the rear frame. This action stops the flow of pilot oil from the
pilot valve to the directional spool. The directional spool shifts to the CENTER position and
the steering oil to the cylinders is blocked.
Also, when the steering wheel is returned to the CENTER position, the flow of pilot oil to the
directional spool is blocked. The centering spring in the steering control valve returns the
directional spool to the neutral position, and the machine stops turning.
The pilot valve is mounted on the front frame while the steering wheel and shaft are mounted
on the rear frame. As the machine begins to turn, the shaft for the steering pilot valve begins to
rotate back to the NEUTRAL position. As the shaft rotates closer to the NEUTRAL position,
the turning speed of the machine is reduced due to lower pilot pressure to the steering control
valve directional spool. However, the machine will continue to turn until the steering wheel
returns to the CENTER position. As long as the pilot directional valve is rotated from the
NEUTRAL position and the neutralizer valves are not closed, pilot oil will flow to the steering
control valve directional spool.
NOTE: The machine turning speed depends on the rotational position of the steering
wheel. The farther the steering wheel is turned, the faster the machine will turn. The
turning speed of the machine does not depend on how fast the steering wheel is rotated.

Brake And Hydraulic Fan System - CUT IN AND MINIMUM FAN SPEED
This illustration shows the brake system and hydraulic fan system schematic. In the schematic,
the accumulator charge pressure has dropped below 12725 kpa (1845 psi). The cut in valve is
shifted to the left.
The pump draws oil from the hydraulic tank and directs the flow of oil to the accumulator
charging valve and the solenoid valve. When the charge pressure for the brake accumulators is
below 12725 kPa (1845 psi), the cut in valve is shifted to the left, and the system oil flows to
the resolver valve. Also, oil flows through the cut in valve to the cut out valve. The resolver
valve allows the higher of the two pressures between the signal from the fan solenoid and from
the cut in valve to flow to the flow control spool of the pump control valve. In this instance the
oil from the cut in valve is at a higher pressure. The pump control valve controls the
displacement of the brake and fan pump. At this time, the pump will upstroke. Also, oil flows
to the lower port on the priority valve and assists the spring in shifting the priority upward and
blocking the flow of oil to the fan motor.
Oil also flows past the screen, past the check valve, and through the orifice to the inverse
shuttle valve. The oil flowing into the inverse shuttle valve continues until both the
accumulators are charged. The inverse shuttle valve maintains equal pressure between both
brake accumulators. The brake system is also equipped with a relief valve to limit the brake
system pressure.

the accumulators are charged and the parking brake is disengaged.
In the system, the pump draws oil from the hydraulic tank and directs the flow of oil to the
accumulator charging valve and solenoid valve. This system is designed for the brake system
to have priority over the hydraulic fan system. The supply oil has charged the accumulators to
15165 kPa (2200 psi). The cut out valve momentarily dropped downward to exhaust the oil
from the right side of the cut in valve to tank. The cut in valve shifts to the right. The oil that
was directed through the resolver valve as a signal to the pump control valve drops to tank
level. The resolver valve shifts and the oil from the fan solenoid valve is directed to the pump
control valve.

The amount of oil that is flowing into the hydraulic motor is determined by the solenoid valve
which feeds pressure back to the pump control valve through the load sense line. When the
brake accumulators are charges (as shown), the pressure from the pump overrides the force of
the priority valve spring. The priority valve opens and the supply oil is directed to the
hydraulic motor. If all the key target temperatures are below the default values of the particular
sensors, the fan pump will supply sufficient oil flow to rotate the hydraulic motor at minimum
fan speed. The minimum fan speed is calibrated through Caterpillar Electronic Technician
(ET).

Brake and Hydraulic Fan System - MAX FAN SPEED AT CUT OUT
In this illustration, the brake accumulators are charged and there is no demand for oil from the
brake system. In the system, the pump draws oil from the hydraulic tank and directs the flow
of oil to the accumulator charging valve and solenoid valve. With no demand by the brake
system for oil, the hydraulic fan system has priority.
The amount of oil that is flowing into the hydraulic motor is determined by the solenoid valve
which feeds pressure back to the pump control valve through the load sense line. When the
brake accumulators are charged the pressure supplied by the pump overrides the force of the
priority valve spring. The priority valve opens and the supply oil is directed to the hydraulic
motor. As one or more of the key target temperatures rise above the default values of the
particular sensors, the current to the solenoid valve decreases. The solenoid valve shifts upward
proportionally to the drop in current. The increase in oil flowing through the solenoid valve
will increase the force on the flow control spool. The flow control spool shifts proportionally
to the left and oil from behind the large actuator is allowed to flow to the hydraulic tank. The
pump will upstroke, increase the fan speed, and move more air through the radiator group.
The fan pump can supply sufficient oil flow to rotate the hydraulic motor to the maximum fan
speed.
SERV1824

Text Reference
The maximum fan speed is calibrated through Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
The maximum fan speed is controlled by the Engine ECM and calibrated through Caterpillar
Electronic Technician (ET).
If the current to the fan solenoid valve is interrupted, the fan solenoid valve shifts totally
upward. The flow control spool shifts to the left and drains off all the oil from behind the
actuator. The pump will continue to upstroke and the discharge pressure will rise until the
pressure on the cutoff spool overrides the spring and the spool shifts to the right. At this time,
discharge oil flows to the back of the actuator and shifts the swashplate (not shown) to
minimum angle, destroking the pump.

In the hydraulic fan system, the speed of the fan and the output of the hydraulic fan pump is
directly controlled by the Engine ECM through the hydraulic fan solenoid valve. The Engine
ECM interprets signals from the three sensors on the machine. Then, the Engine ECM sends a
proportional current to the hydraulic fan solenoid valve.
The following sensors report directly to the Engine ECM.
- Air intake temperature
- Engine coolant
The sensor for the air intake temperature is a passive sensor that is used to measure

When the engine is started, the hydraulic fan pump will be instructed to run at minimum fan
speed. The following conditions must be met, in order to run the fan system at minimum fan
speed.
- The air intake temperature is below 49 C (120 F).
- The hydraulic oil temperature is below 90 C (195 F).
- The engine coolant temperature is below 89 C (192 F).
As one or more of the sensors reads a temperature that is above the key target temperature, the
Engine ECM interprets a demand for additional cooling. Then, the Engine ECM starts sending
a reduced amount of current from the Engine ECM to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve
will move proportionally, in the de-energized direction. The fan pump will upstroke.
The minimum speed of the fan and the maximum speed are held in the Engine ECM. The set
limits for speed of the hydraulic fan can be changed through Caterpillar Electronic Technician.
For additional information regarding the calibration of the hydraulic fan system, refer to the
Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic Fan System - Test and Adjust."

NOTE: Low pressure standby is usually higher than margin pressure. This
characteristic is due to the oil flow being blocked by the closed-centered valves when
all the valves are in HOLD. The blocked pump supply oil pushes the margin spool up
and compresses the margin spool spring more when the pump is at low pressure standby
than during a constant flow condition (which will be discussed later in detail).

Service Brake Valve - ACTIVATED
In order to initiate the operation of the service brake valve, the operator depresses the brake
pedal (not shown). The brake pedal contacts the plunger. The plunger is pushed in the
downward direction against the plunger spring and return spring. The plunger spring puts a
downward force on the ball retainer, the ball, the upper spool down, and the lower spool. The
rear brake port will be blocked from the upper tank port. The rear brake port will then be open
to flow from the system pressure port (from the rear brake accumulator). Also, the system oil
flows through the orifice and the upper spool passage into the cavity between the upper spool
and the lower spool. The oil pressure on the bottom area of the upper piston puts an upward
force on the upper spool pushing the spool against the plunger spring.
The upper spool moves the lower spool downward compressing the lower return spring. The
front brake port will then be open to flow from the system pressure port (from the front brake
accumulator). At this time, the oil flows through the lower spool orifice and the lower spool
passage into the lower spool spring cavity. The oil pressure on the bottom area of the lower
spool puts an upward force on the lower spool pushing the spool against upper spool and the
plunger spring. The spool movements are equalized.
SERV1824

Text Reference
Increasing the downward movement of the plunger will increase the spring force and cause
pressure at the service brake ports to increase until maximum pressure is reached.
Decreasing the downward movement of the plunger will decrease spring force and cause
pressure at the service brake ports to decrease. The combination of the return springs and the
upward force on the upper and lower spools move the spools upward. When the service brake
pedal is fully released, the service brake ports will be open to the tank ports.

Action Alarm
The action alarm (1) is an output of the Cat Monitoring System (pin 4). When the action alarm
is audible, the machine needs immediate attention. A safe machine shutdown is required. The
main display module will sound the action alarm whenever a warning category 3 problem
exists. An alarm for a warning category 3 is a pulsating sound. The alarm for a warning
category 2S is a continuous tone.
The action alarm does not operate when the engine is stopped. The main display module uses
functions in order to determine when the engine is running. The following functions are
examples: engine oil pressure, alternator speed and engine speed. If necessary, the action
alarm SOUNDS when the main display module decides that the engine is running.
The action alarm is located behind the operators seat next to the implement ECM (2).

The indicator (1) for the electrical system will illuminate when there is a malfunction in the
electrical system. The system voltage is too high for normal machine operation or the system
voltage is too low for normal machine operation.
If the electrical loads are high with low engine speed, then increase output from the
alternator (2). If the alert indicator for the electrical system turns off within one minute, the
electrical system is operating normally.
Overloading may occur during periods of low engine speeds. Revise the operating cycle in
order to avoid overloading the electrical system. Overloading the electrical system could result
in discharging the batteries.

If this procedure does not cause the alert indicator to turn off, stop the machine and investigate
the cause of the fault. The fault may be caused by an alternator belt that is loose or broken.
Also, the batteries may be faulty.
If the indicator remains on or near normal operating speeds and with light electrical loads, stop
the machine and investigate the cause of the fault. The fault may be caused by an alternator belt
