Switches

Key Start Switch



Illustration 1g03635338
Key Start Switch

The switch is located on the RH operator console.

The switch is a rotary key switch. The START position is a momentary position.

The switch tells the ECM that the operator wants to start the engine. When the switch is in the START position, the circuit is closed. This applies a +battery voltage to pin J1-46 (wire 307-OR(Orange)) of the ECM. If the operator direction switch is in the neutral position, the ECM will turn on the output for the start relay.

Quick Coupler Switch (Optional)



Illustration 2g01401808
Quick Coupler Switch

The Quick Coupler Switch allows the ECM to control the quick coupler valve solenoid.

Parking Brake Switch



Illustration 3g01404987
Parking Brake Switch

The switch is located under the handbrake.

The parking brake switch input is processed by the ECM to control parking brake status annunciation (via cluster) as well as warning, alarm, and protection functionality, namely:

  • Parking brake engaged while F or R direction requested.

  • Parking brake engaged while machine moving.

  • Parking brake “drive-through” inhibition and associated override functionality.

The mechanical parking brake is actuated via a hand lever in the cab. The parking brake switch is used to determine if the parking brake is being applied by the operator.

Note: The switch state indicates that the parking brake lever is fully off or not fully off. It is not a definitive indicator of the holding force of the parking brake.

Speed 1 / Speed 2 Switch



Illustration 4g03649880
Speed 1 / Speed 2 Switch on the Joystick

Note: Some publications may refer to this as the “Two-Speed” switch.

The switch is located on the front side of the Joystick. The Speed 1 / Speed 2 switch is a push-button switch.

The switch is used to tell the ECM that the operator wants to toggle between the two hystat speed modes.

The joystick is operated thru the CAN data link.

Speed Range 1 = 10 km/h (6.2 mph).

Speed Range 2 = 20 km/h (12.4 mph).

High/Low Switch



Illustration 5g01402389
High/Low Switch

The switch changes from High Speed Mode 34 km/h (21.1mph) to 40 km/h (24.9 mph)and Low Speed Mode (Speed Range 1 and 2 described above).

Note: With the 910K and 914K, speed ranges can be selected while the machine is moving.

Joystick FNR Switch



Illustration 6g03649880
Joystick FNR Switch

The Joystick FNR Switch provides three switch inputs to the system, which are read to determine the direction of travel requested by the operator.

The FNR request and fault status are passed to the hystat subsystem, which then engages forward drive, reverse drive, or neutralizes the hystat. The FNR request is also used to determine the appropriate states of the FNR lamps on the instrument cluster.

The joystick is operated thru the CAN data link.

Rear Window Defrost Switch (Optional)



Illustration 7g01402774
Rear Window Defrost Switch

This switch is used to activate the rear window defrost function. When the ECM detects a depress-release cycle of the switch, it toggles (on/off) the state of defroster relay output. See the “Rear Window Defrost” subsection in Systems Operation, "Features" of this document for further description of the control feature.

Implement Lockout Switch (Optional)



Illustration 8g01402804
Implement Lockout Switch

When activated, the Implement Lockout Switch provides an input to the ECM which inhibits implement movement through the following actions:

  • Removing pilot hydraulic supply pressure to all pilot solenoids by de-energizing the pilot shut-off solenoid.

  • Overriding all electro-hydraulic demands to zero (no movement)

  • De-energizing the soft detents.

Continuous Flow Switch (Optional)



Illustration 9g03649880
Continuous Flow switch on the Joystick

The joystick is operated thru the CAN data link.

This switch is mounted in the joystick and is used to activate the third function auxiliary continuous flow mode. The ECM will activate continuous flow mode when it detects that the switch has closed briefly and then opened. See the “Operator Lever Control - Continuous Mode” subsection in Systems Operation, "Features" of this document for further description of the control feature.

Hydraulic Filter Bypass Switch



Illustration 11g01283403
Hydraulic Filter Bypass Switch

The hydraulic filter bypass switch illuminates the filter bypass lamp on the instrument cluster when oil is bypassing the hydraulic oil filter. The contacts of the switch are normally open. If the pressure increases above the actuation pressure, the hydraulic return oil bypasses the filter, closing the switch. This connection to ground completes the circuit for the filter bypass lamp. This LED indicator on the cluster, notifies the operator of the plugged hydraulic filter. Once the pressure drops below the deactuation pressure, the switch opens. The filter is functioning properly when the switch opens. During extreme cold starts, the filter may bypass until the hydraulic oil begins to warm.

Sensors

Drive Motor Speed Sensor



Illustration 12g01407289
Drive Motor Speed Sensor

The Drive Motor Speed Sensor allows the ECM to determine the speed and direction of the hydraulic drive motor. The drive motor speed sensor is powered by the regulated 8 V DC power supply on the Machine ECM.

3rd Function Thumb wheel Sensor

Throttle Pedal and Brake/Decel Pedal Sensors



Illustration 14g01407352
Illustration for Throttle Position and Brake/Decel Pedal Sensors

Throttle Position Sensor

The Throttle Position Sensor determines the desired engine speed. The throttle position sensor provides a PWM signal proportional to the position of the throttle pedal. The duty cycle increases as the pedal is depressed. The duty cycle is converted to a percent desired engine speed value, which is used to command the required drive speed from the hydrostatic drive system.

Brake/Decel Pedal Sensor

The Brake/Decel Pedal Sensor provides input to the ECM which is processed to provide reduced pump displacement and increased motor displacement commands. The Brake/Decel Pedal Sensor is calibrated at three points through the Electronic Technician service tool to determine the top stop of pedal travel and the brake pressure value specified in the calibration procedure and the end of pedal travel. The calibration procedure for the Brake/Decel Pedal Sensor in ET requires:

  • Parking brake switch indicates parking brake ON

  • Operator FNR request is NEUTRAL

  • Engine ON, Keyswitch ON

Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Calibration" for information on the calibration procedure.

Creeper Control



Illustration 15g01407543

Creeper Control Sensor

The sensor signal is PWM and the ECM monitors for abnormal/bad signals.

This feature processes the input for the creeper control position sensor and passes the requested state to the control system.

Hydraulic Oil Temperature Sensor



Illustration 16g01418019

The resistance of the hydraulic oil temperature sensor varies with temperature. The ECM measures the resistance to determine the temperature of the oil.

This feature reads the hydraulic oil temperature sensor and supports the following:

  • Driving the position of the instrument cluster hydraulic oil temperature gauge

  • Raising events upon detection of high hydraulic oil temperature conditions

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor



Illustration 17g01273688

The resistance of the engine coolant temperature sensor varies with temperature. The ECM measures the resistance to determine the temperature of the oil.

This feature reads the engine coolant temperature sensor and supports the following:

  • Driving the position of the instrument cluster engine coolant temperature gauge

  • Raising events upon detection of high engine coolant temperature conditions

Note: This is processed by the Engine ECM.
