The left brake pedal (1) modulates rimpull and controls braking. When the left pedal is not
depressed, the impeller clutch torque converter produces maximum rimpull with full torque to
the wheels. In wet or slippery underfoot conditions, rimpull needs to be reduced to avoid tire
spin while loading.
The first inch of pedal travel varies rimpull from 100% down to 24% by reducing hydraulic
pressure at the impeller clutch, based on input from the pedal position sensor. The impeller
clutch is mounted to the engine side of the torque converter. When the pedal is depressed far-
ther, the service brakes are applied on all four wheels while rimpull remains at 24%.
The right brake pedal (2) engages the service brakes on all four wheels.
A throttle position sensor is attached to the throttle pedal (3). The throttle position sensor pro-
vides the throttle position input signals to the Engine ECM.
NOTE: The 992K and 854K can be equipped with a compression brake. When the
optional compression brake is installed, the compression brake pedal is installed to the
left of the left brake pedal.

02/09 VIMS
16
The 992K Wheel Loader and 854K Wheel Dozer are equipped with the Vital Information
Management System (VIMS). The VIMS is composed of modular onboard electronics which
have the ability to acquire data, perform analysis, store information, and display data. When
equipped with source code software, the VIMS Electronic Control Module (ECM) (arrow) rec-
ognizes (through the configuration software) the machine on which it is installed and knows
which components are present.
The VIMS ECM communicates with the other machine electronic control modules (such as the
Engine ECM, the Power Train ECM, etc.).

The major modules that comprise the VIMS are the quad gauge module (1), the
speedometer/tachometer module (2), the message center module (3), and the keypad (4).
The VIMS uses both onboard and offboard hardware and software to display information to the
machine operator in addition to supplying information on machine systems to the dealer and to
the customer technical staff. This information will assist in minimizing downtime and operat-
ing costs.
To successfully service machines equipped with the VIMS, the service technician needs to
become proficient in accessing the information through the keypad and message center and be
able to use a service tool (PC) to perform other required tasks.
SERV1859-01 - 25 - Text Reference
02/09 VIMS
In addition to alerting the operator of an abnormal condition, a service lamp is installed exter-
nally on the machine to alert service or maintenance personnel that an "event" is present, and
diagnostic information regarding the event is available in VIMS.
SERV1859-01 - 26 - Text Reference

VIMS Components
The quad gauge module contains four gauges which provide information on measured machine
parameters (such as temperature(s) and fuel level). The 992K Wheel Loader has gauges for the
engine coolant temperature, the torque converter outlet oil temperature, the implement and fan
hydraulic oil temperature, and the fuel level.
VIMS uses electronic input devices (sensors) to measure the parameter, then calculates an out-
put signal and sends the signal to the quad gauge module where the parameter is displayed.
The quad gauge module is configured for a specific machine (an off-highway truck or a wheel
loader) and the actual machine parameter is represented on the gauge by a graphic symbol.

The message center module contains a Data Logger indicator, an alert indicator, a universal
gauge, a gauge warning area, and a message area.
The Data Logger indicator (series of four dots) in the upper right corner scrolls when the Data
Logger is turned on. The dots are not present when the Data Logger is stopped or when the
Data Logger is initiated with the offboard service tool (PC).
The alert indicator notifies the operator of an abnormal machine condition. The condition could
be caused by the VIMS detecting a "data" or "maintenance" event. The alert indicator receives
a signal from the main module causing the indicator to flash. The alert indicator will be dis-
cussed in detail in the warning operation section of this presentation.
The message area shows the value for the parameter shown on the universal gauge. For sensor-
type parameters (non switch-type inputs), the gauge shows the actual value for the parameter
being measured. The gauge can also be used to observe any of the machine parameters by
entering the parameter number on the keypad and pressing the "gauge" key on the keypad. The
universal gauge allows the operator or service technician to select their "favorite" parameter or
to monitor a troublesome parameter which has not exceeded its limit.

The message area displays information regarding the condition of the machine. The display of
information is prioritized and includes data events, maintenance events, operator or service
technician requested data, and default information.
The message area provides two lines of text (twenty characters per line) to display information
to the operator or service technician. When an event (data or maintenance) occurs, information
relating to the out of specification parameter is displayed on the first line to identify the nature
of the abnormal condition. Information on the second line displays the desired operator
response to the condition.
If a maintenance event occurs, the message area will display the parameter followed by the
word ERROR. The second line will give the operator instructions regarding the condition.
If more than one event is present, the event information will be displayed according to priority.
The priority process will be discussed in the warning operation section of this module.
The message area can also display requested data such as event lists or active system events in
the Module Identification (MID), the Component Identification (CID), and the Failure Mode
Identifier (FMI) formats.

This illustration shows a block diagram of VIMS. The VIMS ECM is the "heart" of VIMS and,
as such, makes decisions based upon input signals received from various other electronic con-
trol modules on the machine. Two 70 pin connectors on the VIMS ECM connect the necessary
harness wiring to the input and output devices. VIMS incorporates different data links to com-
municate with other ECMs and offboard service tools..
The CAT and CAN Data Link are bi-directional data links that allows VIMS to communicate
with other onboard electronic controls and Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET).
The third and fourth data links are the RS-232 data links. Each RS-232 data link is separate.
One of the links has a communication port in the cab and another port mounted outside at the
rear bumper. The communication ports allow VIMS to communicate with an offboard service
tool (PC). The other RS-232 Data Link allows VIMS to communicate through two-way radio
communications with other offboard systems.
The display data link connects the various display components to the main module.
SERV1859-01 - 34 - Text Reference
02/09 VIMS
The main module sends an output signal to the action lamp if a Category 2 or 3 warning is
present. The module also sends a signal to the action alarm to sound an alarm if a Category 3
warning is present. The main module provides power for all the display components, and turns
a service light ON (steady) to alert maintenance personnel if an active system event is present.
The light will flash if an abuse related event is present.
The main module supplies information to all the display components (gauge cluster, speedome-
ter/tachometer, message center, and keypad). The display components alert the operator to
machine conditions.

This illustration shows the components that provide input signals to VIMS ECM. The input
information is received from pressure switches, temperature switches, and level switches.
VIMS uses the information to determine the condition of vital machine parameters such as filter
conditions, fluid levels, torque converter oil temperature, steering oil pressure, and brake oil
pressure.

27
Warning Operation
VIMS monitors designated machine systems and notifies the operator of immediate or impend-
ing problems. The warning categories of VIMS are the same as those used with the Caterpillar
Monitoring System. The inputs and internal operation of the controls differ, but the outputs of
the system remain unchanged.
Warning Category 1 - Alert indicator flashes. No immediate action required by the operator.
(Requires servicing by the end of the shift.)
Warning Category 2 - Alert indicator flashes and the action lamp flashes. Machine operation
should be changed or maintenance performed.
Warning Category 2S - Alert indicator flashes, action lamp flashes, and action alarm sounds
continuously. Machine operation should be changed immediately.
Warning Category 3 - Alert indicator flashes, action lamp flashes, and action alarm sounds
intermittently. Operator should perform an immediate, safe engine shutdown.
SERV1859-01 - 38 - Text Reference
02/09 VIMS
VIMS triggers the warning operation when a data or maintenance event occurs. The abnormal
condition is sensed by the VIMS ECM where the appropriate warning category is determined
and relayed to the operator through the alert indicator (flashing), the action lamp (flashing), or
the action alarm (sounding).
Warning inputs are provided by switches and sensors. In some cases, more than one input is
needed to trigger a specific warning category. VIMS identifies the warning category displayed
according to active events. If more than one event is active, each event will be scrolled on the
message area in five second intervals. If a Category 3 (most severe) event is active, Category 1
or 2 events cannot be scrolled.
Although the VIMS warning categories are the same as those used on other systems (Electronic
Monitoring System and Caterpillar Monitoring System), some changes have been made in the
area of operator awareness. VIMS documents when the operator acknowledges the fault.
When a Category 1 or 2 event becomes active, the operator can acknowledge the event by
pressing the OK key on the keypad. Depending on the nature of the event, the warning catego-
ry may be cancelled for a specific period of time. After the time interval is exceeded, the warn-
ing category will again be displayed. Category 3 events cannot be cancelled by the operator.
SERV1859-01 - 39 - Text Reference
02/09 VIMS
DATA EVENTS
28
Data Events
Data events indicate that the machine is operating outside of normal limits. A data event may
occur because a specific parameter detects an abnormal condition. An example of a data event
could be low hydraulic oil level or low fuel level.
The message area provides two lines (twenty characters per line) to display information to the
operator or service technician. When a data event occurs, a message is displayed on the first
line to identify the type of abnormal condition. The second line indicates the required operator
action.
In this illustration, the operator is alerted to a Category 3 warning. The alert indicator and
action lamp will flash and the action alarm will sound intermittently. The message center
directs the operator to shut the machine down safely.
VIMS detected a critically low system voltage (less than 23.0 Volts). Continued machine oper-
ation with low system voltage could possibly cause the electronic controls installed on the
machine to shut down.
SERV1859-01 - 40 - Text Reference
02/09 VIMS
The service technician can easily investigate the data event using the universal gauge as a serv-
ice tool. Entering the parameter number of 140 and pressing the Gauge key on the keypad will
display the parameter name and number on the first line and the parameter value and units on
the second line, as shown in this illustration.
When a data event occurs and the service technician is requested to diagnose the malfunction, it
is important that all the facts concerning the reported complaint are gathered. The advanced
capabilities of VIMS allow the system to distinguish between actual problems with the machine
or its components and conditions caused by inappropriate operation (abuse). VIMS will distin-
guish between the types of problems and maintain a count of occurrences in memory.
To effectively diagnose data events may require the service technician to use all available
VIMS resources. The message center and keypad may be used to display event information
such as the event statistics, the event list, and the acknowledged events. To observe the above
information, the service technician must initiate the appropriate service operation.
On VIMS, the event information can be downloaded using a service tool (PC).
It may also be necessary to use other types of stored information in solving machine abnormali-
ties.

Maintenance Events
Maintenance events reflect the self-diagnostic capabilities of VIMS. If VIMS detects an event
condition in one or more of its electronic monitoring devices (switches, sensors, etc.), a mainte-
nance event will be immediately displayed on the message center and the operator will be alert-
ed by the appropriate warning. The service technician can retrieve additional diagnostic infor-
mation on the detected fault by pressing the F1 key on the keypad or by accessing VIMS
through the use of a service tool (PC).
The message area provides two lines (twenty characters per line) to display information to the
operator or service technician. When a maintenance event occurs, information identifying a
specific parameter has "error" displayed on the first line and information giving the operator
instructions appears on the second line.
With the information displayed in the message area, additional diagnostic information can be
displayed on the second line by pressing the F1 key on the keypad.
The display will now show the MID, CID, and FMI codes for the active maintenance event, as
shown in this illustration.
SERV1859-01 - 42 - Text Reference
02/09 VIMS
The diagnostic codes displayed on the second line provide valuable information to the service
technician. The MID identifies which electronic control has diagnosed the event. Since VIMS
has the ability to receive maintenance event information from other controls over the CAT Data
Link, it is necessary to establish the source of the event. Each electronic control module
installed on the machine has its own unique identifier. Always refer to the appropriate service
manual for the proper MID identifier codes.
To successfully diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair VIMS malfunctions will require the service
technician to use all resources available (service manuals, wiring schematics, handouts, etc.).
Additionally, the service technician needs to be able to use the diagnostic tooling that is avail-
able for all electronic control systems. To diagnose VIMS related faults, the service technician
needs to be totally proficient in reading and interpreting the electrical wiring schematics and in
the use of a digital multimeter.

Shown is the electronic control system component diagram for the C32 engine used in the
992K Wheel Loader and 854K Wheel Dozer. Fuel injection is controlled by the Engine
Electronic Control Module (ECM).
Many electronic signals are sent to the Engine ECM by sensors, switches, and senders. The
Engine ECM analyzes this input and sends signals to various output components such as relays
and solenoids.
For example, based on the various input signals, the Engine ECM determines when and for how
long to energize the injector solenoids. When the injector solenoids are energized determines
the timing of the engine. How long the solenoids are energized determines the engine speed.
The two interface connectors provide electrical connections from the engine to the machine
including the CAN Data Link and the Cat Data Link.
The oil level switches send input signals to the VIMS ECM. The VIMS ECM sends the engine
oil level input to the Engine ECM over the data links.

Input Components:
Crankshaft speed timing sensor - The speed timing sensor sends a fixed voltage level signal
to the Engine ECM in order to determine the engine speed, direction, and timing.
Camshaft speed timing sensor - The speed timing sensor sends a fixed voltage level signal to
the Engine ECM in order to determine the engine speed, direction, and timing.
Intake manifold air temperature sensors - These sensors supply air temperature data at the
intake manifolds to the Engine ECM. The ECM uses this information for engine derates and
logged events.
Coolant temperature sensor - This sensor is an input to the Engine ECM supplying informa-
tion on the temperature of the engine coolant. The ECM uses this information for fan solenoid
current, high coolant temperature warnings, engine derates for high coolant temperature, or
logged events.
Turbo outlet air pressure sensors - These sensors are an input to the Engine ECM to supply
information about the air pressure into the intake manifolds.
Engine oil pressure sensor - This sensor is an input to the Engine ECM to supply an informa-
tion warning for low oil pressure, engine derates for low oil pressure, or logged events.
Atmospheric pressure sensor - This sensor is an input to the Engine ECM and is used as a
reference for air filter restriction. Also, the sensor is used to supply information to the Engine
ECM during operation at high altitude.
Exhaust temperature sensors - The exhaust temperature sensors send a signal to the Engine
ECM indicating exhaust temperature.
Fuel temperature sensor - This sensor sends fuel temperature data to the Engine ECM. The
ECM uses this information for engine derates and logged events.
Fuel pressure sensor - The fuel pressure sensor sends a signal to the Engine ECM indicating
fuel pressure.
Fuel differential pressure switch - This switch relays information to the ECM that the fuel
pressure at the output of the filter base is restricted in comparison to the inlet pressure.
Key switch ON (+B) - The Key ON input to the Engine ECM enables the ECM for operation
and is recognized by any ECM on the machine.
Throttle pedal position sensor - This sensor sends the throttle position to the Engine ECM in

Fuel injection and some other systems are controlled by the Engine ECM (1), which is accessed
from the left side engine compartment. Other systems controlled by the Engine ECM are: the
ether injection, the demand fan, and the engine derates.
The Engine ECM has two main connectors for diagnostics. The larger 120-pin connector (2)
known as J2 connects to the engine harness. The smaller 70-pin connector (3) is identified on
schematics as J1 and connects to the machine harness.
Using the Cat ET service tool, timing calibration is performed automatically for the speed/tim-
ing sensors. This step is performed to avoid instability and ensures that no backlash is present
in the timing gears during the calibration process. Timing calibration improves fuel injection
accuracy by correcting for any slight tolerances between the crankshaft, the timing gears, and
the timing wheel. Timing calibration is normally performed after ECM replacement, cam or
crank sensor replacement, or timing wheel replacement.
Occasionally, Caterpillar will make changes to the internal software that controls the perform-
ance of the engine. These changes can be performed by using the WinFlash program in Cat ET.
Cat ET is used to diagnose and program the electronic controls used in machines. If using the
WinFlash program, a "flash" file must be obtained from Caterpillar and uploaded to the ECM.

The right intake air temperature sensor (1) and left intake air temperature sensor (2) are located
on top of the engine. The intake air temperature sensors produce an analog signal that is moni-
tored by the Engine ECM. The ECM monitors intake air temperature for signaling the monitor-
ing system in the event of a problem and for derating the engine at high temperatures.
The coolant temperature sensor (3) is located on top of the engine toward, closest to the radia-
tor. The coolant temperature sensor is an analog sensor that is monitored by the Engine ECM.
The ECM monitors engine coolant temperature for signaling the monitoring system in the event
of a problem and for derating the engine at high temperatures. The Engine ECM also uses the
coolant temperature sensor information for cold mode functions such as timing changes, elevat-
ed idle, cold cylinder cut-out, and ether injection.
The right turbo outlet pressure sensor (4) and left turbo outlet pressure sensor (5) are used for
calculating boost.
The atmospheric pressure sensor (6) is located on top of the engine toward the left rear side.
The atmospheric pressure sensor is an analog sensor that is monitored by the Engine ECM.
The ECM monitors atmospheric pressure for the following: altitude derate, air inlet restriction
derate, and calibration reference for other sensors.

The crankshaft speed/timing sensor (1) is located near the crank pulley and damper, on the right
side of the engine compartment. The crank sensor measures engine speed and timing for con-
trol of the timing and delivery of fuel to each of the engine's cylinders. Sensing engine speed
allows engine speed governing, fuel limiting, and fuel injection timing. If the crank speed/tim-
ing sensor fails, the cam speed/timing sensor allows for continuous operation.
The oil pressure sensor (2) is located near the air conditioning compressor on the right side of
the engine compartment. The oil pressure sensor is an analog sensor that is monitored by the
Engine ECM. When the oil pressure is too low, the Engine ECM will signal the monitoring
system to display a warning and derate the engine. The ECM will also log an event that
requires a factory password to clear.

The oil level switches (1) monitor the oil level in the pan with engine ON and the engine OFF.
The C32 engine can be equipped with an optional Oil Renewal System (ORS). The ORS can
increase the oil change interval and can decrease the amount of used oil in need of disposal.
The life of the engine is not shortened and the availability of the machine is increased.
The ORS meters engine oil that has been filtered into the fuel supply. The metered oil is con-
sumed in the engine during the normal combustion process. The Engine ECM sends an output
signal to the ORS solenoid (2) to control the oil metered. The Engine ECM controls the
amount of oil that is metered based on the actual load factor or on the fuel that is consumed by
the engine.
Whenever the old oil from the oil pan is injected into the return fuel line, new oil from a make-
up tank is added to the oil pan. Regular additions of new oil will allow the oil change level to
be extended. Reviewing the reports of the S•O•S Oil Analysis will determine when the oil
needs to be changed and if a problem has occurred.

The cam speed/timing sensor (arrow) is located on the right side of the engine in the rear of the
timing gear housing behind the primary fuel filter. The cam sensor is used as a back-up for the

allows for continuous operation.

- Engine will start and run with one speed/timing sensor signal
37
The engine will start and run when only one sensor signal is present from either the crank or
cam sensor. During engine operation, if both speed/timing sensors fail, the Engine ECM will
stop fuel injection and the engine will shut down. During start-up, the loss of both sensors will
prevent the engine from starting.
If the engine is running and the signal from the crank speed/timing sensor is lost, a slight
change in engine performance will be noticed when the Engine ECM performs the changeover
to the cam speed/timing sensor. If the signal from the crank speed/timing sensor is not present
during start-up, the engine will start normally.
Loss of the cam speed/timing sensor during engine operation will not result in any noticeable
change in engine performance. However, if the signal from the cam speed/timing sensor is not
present during start-up, the engine may require a slightly longer period of time to start and may
run rough for a few seconds until the ECM determines the proper firing order by using only the
crank engine speed/timing sensor.

The teeth configuration in the crankshaft timing wheel are not the same as the camshaft timing
wheel. The camshaft timing wheel includes 37 timing teeth with 36 of the teeth spaced equally
at 10° apart. One tooth is spaced 5° apart from the other teeth.
There are only 35 teeth on the crankshaft gear spaced equally at 10° apart. Two of the teeth are
spaced at 20° apart, which creates a "gap" in the gear teeth.
When the Engine ECM uses the cam speed sensor to determine timing for engine starting, the
ECM knows exactly what cylinder is at TDC. The following cylinders are at TDC at the same
time (one cylinder bank only):
- Cylinder No. 1 (compression stroke) and No. 6 (exhaust stroke)
- Cylinder No. 2 (compression stroke) and No. 5 (exhaust stroke)
- Cylinder No. 3 (compression stroke) and No. 4 (exhaust stroke)
When the Engine ECM uses the crank speed sensor to determine timing for engine starting, the
ECM does not know which of the two cylinders is at TDC. As an example, the Engine ECM
will attempt to fire Cylinder No. 1 and check if there is any increase in the engine rpm. If there
is no increase in rpm, the ECM determines that the TDC timing position at that firing moment
is Cylinder No. 6. This action may result in a longer engine start time.

Located behind the right pedal, the throttle position sensor (arrow) provides the desired throttle
position to the Engine ECM. If the Engine ECM detects a fault in the throttle position sensor,
the throttle lock switch in the cab can be used to increase the engine speed.
The throttle position sensor receives a regulated 8.0 ± 0.5 Volts from the Engine ECM. The
throttle position sensor output signal is a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal that varies with
throttle position and is expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100%.
To check the output signal of the throttle position sensor, connect a multimeter between Pins B
and C of the throttle position sensor connector. Set the meter to read "Duty Cycle." The duty
cycle output of the throttle position sensor should be:
- Low Idle: 16 ± 6%

If the machine is equipped with an ether start system, the Engine ECM will automatically inject
ether from the ether solenoid valve (1) and ether cylinder during cranking. The ether solenoid
is located inside the right engine compartment.
The ether injection system has two cycles: pre-ether injection and post-ether injection. The
pre-ether injection cycle will inject ether during engine starting. Once the engine has reached
low idle, ether will be injected for 1 second. The temperature of the engine coolant or right
intake manifold air temperature and the atmospheric pressure will determine when ether is
injected. The atmospheric pressures and temperature at which ether is injected are:
- 50 kPa (7 psi) and a temperature of 18° C (64° F)
- 75 kPa (10 psi) and a temperature of 9° C (48° F)
- 100 kPa (14.5 psi) and a temperature of 0° C (32° F)
After the pre-ether injection cycle has completed, the post-ether injection cycle begins. The
post-ether injection cycle is based on engine coolant temperature. The amount of ether injected
will be the following:
- At -23° C (-9° F) ether will be injected for 40 seconds
- At -9° C (16° F) ether will be injected for 20 seconds
- At 0° C (32° F) ether will be injected for 1 second
Cat ET can be connected to the machine to enable or disable the ether injection system.

The air inlet restriction is the pressure difference between the turbo inlet pressure sensor and the
atmospheric sensor. The turbo inlet pressure sensor measures the air inlet pressure at the tur-
bocharger compressor housing.
As the air restriction increases, the pressure difference will increase. If the engine has been
running for over 4 minutes and the air inlet restriction is 7.5 kPa (30 in. of water) for 30 sec-
onds, the Engine ECM will initiate a Level 1 Warning. If the air restriction increases to 9.0 kPa
(36 in. of water) for 30 seconds, then a Level 2 Warning will occur and the engine will enter the
air inlet restriction derate.
When the pressure difference between the turbo inlet pressure sensor and the atmospheric sen-
sor reach a difference of 10.0 kPa (40 in. of water), the Engine ECM will derate the engine
approximately 2%. The Engine ECM will then derate the engine 2% more for every 1 kPa
(2 in. of water) difference up to 10%.
If the signal between the Engine ECM and the turbo inlet pressure sensor is lost or disabled, the

- Never clean the secondary element for reuse. Always replace the secondary element.
- Air filter restriction causes black exhaust smoke and low power.
There is a turbocharger inlet pressure sensor (3) located above the air filter restriction indicator.
The Engine ECM uses the turbocharger inlet pressure sensor in combination with the atmos-
pheric pressure sensor to determine air filter restriction.
The ECM provides the input signal to the monitoring system, which informs the operator of the
air filter restriction. As the air restriction increases, the pressure difference will increase. If the
engine has been running for over 4 minutes and the air inlet restriction is 7.5 kPa (30 in. of
water) for 30 seconds, the Engine ECM will initiate a Level 1 Warning. If the air restriction
increases to 9.0 kPa (36 in. of water) for 30 seconds or the turbo inlet pressure sensor fails,
then a Level 2 Warning will occur and the engine will enter the air inlet restriction derate.
When the pressure difference between the turbo inlet pressure sensor and the atmospheric sen-

The C32 engine is equipped with two turbochargers, one on each side of the engine. Each tur-
bocharger is driven by the exhaust gas from the cylinders which enters the turbine side (1) of
the turbocharger from the exhaust manifold. The exhaust gas flows through the turbocharger,
spinning the turbine wheel, then exits to the exhaust piping and muffler.
The clean air from the filters enters the compressor side (2) of the turbocharger where it is com-
pressed by the spinning turbine and picks up heat. The compressed air from the turbocharger
then flows out the top of the turbocharger to the aftercooler. After the air is cooled by the
aftercooler, the air flows to the cylinders and combines with the fuel for combustion.
The turbo wastegate actuator (3) controls the exhaust gas sent to the turbo. The actuator
diaphragm and connecting rod mechanically open and close the wastegate to control the amount
of exhaust gas sent to the turbine wheel.
Two exhaust temperature sensors (4) are located in each exhaust manifold. The exhaust tem-
perature sensors send a signal to the Engine ECM indicating exhaust temperature.
When the engine runs at low idle, the temperature of an exhaust manifold port can indicate the
condition of a fuel injection nozzle. A low temperature indicates that no fuel is flowing to the
cylinder. An inoperative fuel injection nozzle or a problem with the fuel injection pump could
cause this low temperature.
A very high temperature can indicate that too much fuel is flowing to the cylinder. A malfunc-
tioning fuel injection nozzle, plugged air filters, or a restriction in the turbochargers or the muf-
fler could cause this very high temperature.

The 992K Wheel Loader and 854K Wheel Dozer can be equipped with the optional engine
compression brake. The compression brake provides higher downhill travel speeds and reduces
brake wear. The compression brake uses a master/slave hydraulic actuation system to open
exhaust valves on the compression stroke which releases pressurized air and creates a net brak-
ing force at the flywheel.
The compression brake assembly, as shown in this illustration, controls two cylinders. The
compression brake assembly is mounted to the rocker arm shaft supports below the engine
valve covers. The compression brake is pressurized with engine oil from the rocker arm shaft
and uses a solenoid valve to control oil flow in the brake housing.
The compression brake is activated by a signal from the Engine ECM to the solenoid valve (1).
As the fuel injector rocker arm pushes up on the master piston (2), the corresponding slave pis-
ton (3) is pressurized to push down on the exhaust valve bridge, decompressing the cylinder
and preventing the normal power stroke.
On the C32 engine, up to six brake assemblies are used. The control circuit for the compres-
sion brake permits the operation of either two, four, or all six of the compression brake assem-
blies which provides progressive braking capabilities with the retarding effect of four, eight, or
all 12 of the engine cylinders.
Compression brake system service consists of only periodic valve lash checks.

This illustration shows the oil flow in the C32 engine compression brake. Oil from the engine
oil pump flows through the rocker arm shaft oil passage. The compression brake solenoid
valve controls the oil flow in the compression brake hydraulic circuit.
When the Engine ECM energizes the solenoid, oil flows through the check valves to the slave
pistons and the master pistons.
Oil pressure overcomes spring force and the master piston moves down and contacts the fuel
injector rocker arm. The master piston will follow the movement of the fuel injector rocker
arm. As the fuel injector rocker arm moves up the master piston moves up and causes the oil to
close the check valve.
With the check valve closed, oil pressure increases in the compression brake hydraulic circuit
and the slave piston is forced down. The slave piston makes contact with the exhaust valve
rocker arm and causes the exhaust valve to open. As the exhaust valve opens, the engine cylin-
der pressure is relieved through the open exhaust valve, which creates a net braking force at the
flywheel.
SERV1859-01 - 80 - Text Reference

When the fuel injector rocker arm moves down, the master piston moves down and the
hydraulic pressure decreases. The exhaust valves are returned to the closed position by the
exhaust rocker arm. The check valve opens and relieves the oil pressure.
When the Engine ECM de-energizes the compression brake solenoid, oil is drained from the
slave and master pistons to the tank. The exhaust valves close and the slave piston returns to
the starting position.

This illustration shows the wiring and components of the engine compression brake. The com-
pression brake switch allows the operator to switch between automatic mode and manual mode.
The Engine ECM provides MEDIUM braking level. When the ECM commands a MEDIUM
braking level, four solenoids (two on each valve bank) will activate the compression brake for
eight cylinders (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12).
In the automatic mode, with the compression brake configuration status ENABLED, the com-
pression brake will be activated when the engine speed is above the auto trip point of
2000 rpm. The brake will be activated until the engine speed is reduced to 1750 rpm. If the
compression brake pedal is depressed while automatic mode is active, the compression brake
mode will switch to manual mode and the compression brake will remain activated to the man-
ual trip point.
In manual mode, the compression brake will not be activated until the engine speed is above the
manual trip point of 1500 rpm. The brake will be activated until the engine speed is reduced to
1400 rpm. If the compression brake pedal is depressed the compression brake mode will be
switched from manual mode to automatic mode.
The transmission must be in 2nd or 3rd speed and the lockup clutch engaged to activate the
compression brake. The compression brake will not be activated in 1st speed or if the coolant
temperature is below 68° C (154° F).

The Power Train ECM (arrow) is located below the deck plate on the right front side of the
machine platform.
The Power Train ECM makes decisions based on control program information in memory and
switch and sensor input signals.
The Power Train ECM responds to machine control decisions by sending output voltage to the
appropriate circuit which creates an action. For example, the operator selects an upshift using
the STIC. The Power Train ECM interprets the input signals from the STIC, evaluates the cur-
rent machine operating status, and energizes the appropriate clutch solenoids.
The Power Train ECM receives three different types of input signals:
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 frequen-
cy and a varying positive duty cycle.
3. Controlled current output driver: The Power Train 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 and the opera-
tion of the impeller clutch and lockup clutch. The ECM interprets signals from the STIC,
torque converter pedal position sensor, lockup clutch enable switch, and current machine oper-
ating status to determine the appropriate output signals to the systems. Different conditions of
the inputs affect the output conditions. These conditions will be discussed later.
The Power Train ECM communicates through the CAT and CAN Data Links. The Data Links
allow high speed proprietary serial communications over a twisted pair of wires and different
systems on the machine to communicate with each other.
The Power Train ECM has built-in diagnostic capabilities. As the ECM detects fault conditions
in the power train system, it logs the faults in memory and displays them on VIMS display
panel. The fault codes can also be accessed using Cat ET.

When the operator selects REVERSE by depressing the top of the directional control switch,
the Power Train ECM energizes the reverse directional solenoid. The Power Train ECM also

of the directional control switch, the ECM energizes the forward directional solenoid. When
the operator selects NEUTRAL by placing the directional control switch in the center position,
the Power Train ECM de-energizes both the forward and the reverse directional solenoids.
After two seconds, the Power Train ECM energizes speed solenoid No. 3 and the transmission
is in NEUTRAL until the operator selects a different gear.
When the operator presses the upshift switch, the Power Train ECM energizes the appropriate
speed clutch solenoid to select the next higher gear, and the transmission upshifts. When the
operator presses the downshift switch, the Power Train ECM energizes the appropriate speed
clutch solenoid to select the next lower gear, and the transmission downshifts. The switch must
be released and pressed again to continue shifting.
When the steering and transmission lock lever (5) is moved to the LOCK position (shown), the
STIC is held in the center position. The transmission lock switch (not visible) signals the

Certain machine operating conditions will override the operator desired function of the STIC.
If the directional switch is in the FORWARD or REVERSE position when the steering and
transmission lock lever is moved to the UNLOCK position, the Power Train ECM will not shift
from NEUTRAL. The directional switch must first be moved to the NEUTRAL position, then
to the direction desired before the Power Train ECM will engage the clutches.
If the steering and transmission lock lever is in the UNLOCK position when the machine is

The Power Train ECM provides maximum rimpull when the torque converter pedal is fully
released by keeping the impeller clutch fully engaged and the rimpull selection switch (1) in
position (2). If the torque converter pedal is used to modulate the impeller clutch, the rimpull
selection switch must be in position (2).
To select reduced rimpull, move the rimpull selection switch to the desired position. The rim-
pull selection switch signals the Power Train ECM to monitor the reduced rimpull selection
switch to determine the rimpull setting with the torque converter pedal fully released. This
condition occurs only when the machine is in FIRST GEAR. If the machine is not in FIRST
GEAR, the rimpull will stay at maximum.
SERV1859-01 - 97 - Text Reference
02/09 Power Train
The desired maximum rimpull setting will be active when the torque converter pedal is fully
released, and the machine is in FIRST GEAR. The Power Train ECM reduces rimpull by
increasing the current to the impeller clutch solenoid, which reduces the hydraulic pressure to
the impeller clutch and allows slippage between the impeller and the torque converter housing.
By additionally decreasing the impeller clutch pressure, the impeller will slip more resulting in
lower torque to the power train. The resulting additional engine torque can be used for the
implements.
Depressing the torque converter pedal will further reduce rimpull from the selected percentage.
The rimpull that is commanded by the fully released pedal will equal the reduced rimpull that is
selected on the rimpull selection switch. When a lower rimpull is selected, pedal travel will
result in a more gradual decrease in rimpull.
The reduced rimpull selection switch has four positions. Each position corresponds to a maxi-
mum allowable percentage of maximum rimpull. The default values for each position are:
When the rimpull is reduced, using the rimpull selection switch, the Power Train ECM sends a
signal to the reduced rimpull indicator lamp (6) on the left side of the dash.
78
The Power Train ECM monitors the position of the torque converter pedal (1) with the torque
converter pedal position sensor (2). As the operator depresses the pedal, the Power Train ECM
increases the current to the impeller clutch solenoid and reduces the hydraulic pressure to the
impeller clutch. The rimpull will decrease with pedal travel from the maximum setting to the
minimum setting. When the operator releases the left pedal, the rimpull will return to the maxi-
mum percentage as set by the rimpull selector switch.
If the machine is not in FIRST GEAR, the impeller clutch pressure will remain at the maximum
level until the transmission is shifted into FIRST GEAR.

a decrease in pressure to the impeller clutch.

When the priority valve opens, oil flows to the transmission control valve. The transmission
control valve controls transmission clutch engagement, provides modulation and sequencing of
the directional and speed clutches, and limits the maximum clutch pressure. From the transmis-
sion control valve, the remainder of the oil is sent to the torque converter inlet.
Oil from the front section of the pump flows through the torque converter filter and joins with
the oil from the transmission control valve. The combined oil flows through the torque con-
verter inlet to the torque converter. Oil pressure in the torque converter is maintained by the
torque converter outlet relief valve. An orifice in the outlet relief valve permits some lubrica-
tion oil to flow to the transmission at all times. From the outlet relief valve, oil is sent through
the oil cooler to the transmission lubrication circuits.

Shown is a sectional view of the torque converter. The major components include the rotating
housing, the impeller, the turbine, the stator, the impeller clutch, and the lockup clutch.
In the torque converter, the rotating housing (red) is splined to the engine flywheel (not
shown)and is driven by the flywheel. The impeller (pink) connects to the rotating housing
through the impeller clutch discs and plates (yellow). The clutch discs are splined to the
impeller and the clutch plates are splined to the rotating housing. When the impeller clutch
modulating valve (not shown) is de-energized, oil flows to the impeller clutch oil pressure port
through the impeller clutch oil pressure port. The force of the oil on the impeller clutch piston
engages the discs and plates. When the impeller clutch is engaged, the impeller rotates with the
housing.
The turbine (blue) and the output drive shaft (blue) are fastened together.
When the impeller clutch modulating valve is energized, the oil pressure at the impeller clutch
oil pressure port is reduced to the dump pressure. The dump pressure will be maintained in
order to eliminate refilling the clutch. This improves the response time of the impeller clutch.
The force on the impeller clutch piston is at a minimum. The engagement between the impeller
clutch discs and plates will develop the minimum amount of torque. The engagement between
the housing and the impeller will slip.
SERV1859-01 - 120 - Text Reference
02/09 Power Train
As the current to the impeller clutch modulating valve decreases, the oil pressure at the
impeller clutch oil pressure port increases. As that pressure increases, force at the impeller
clutch will increase and the allowable slippage is reduced.
The carrier (green) and the stator (green) are assembled together. This torque converter is not
equipped with a free wheel stator.
The turbine is splined to the output shaft. In TORQUE CONVERTER DRIVE, the force that
rotates the output drive shaft is developed by the oil pressure that is directed to the torque con-
verter inlet oil pressure port.
In DIRECT DRIVE, the lockup clutch connects the turbine (blue) to the housing (red). The
lockup clutch discs are splined to the turbine and the lockup clutch plates (yellow) are splined
to the housing (red). When the lockup clutch modulating valve is energized, the oil is directed
through the output drive shaft from the lockup clutch oil pressure port. The force that is devel-
oped by the oil pressure will engage the lockup clutch. The housing, turbine, impeller, and the
output drive shaft rotate as a unit at engine rpm.

When the operator moves the directional switch to the NEUTRAL position, the ECM energizes
the No. 3 clutch solenoid and the impeller clutch solenoid. The ECM also de-energizes the
lockup clutch solenoid.
Flow from the power train pump is sent through the transmission filter to the priority valve, to
the impeller clutch solenoid valve, and to the lockup clutch solenoid valve. The priority valve
maintains a minimum oil pressure to the impeller clutch solenoid valve and the lockup clutch
solenoid valve during transmission shifts.
When the power train pump supply pressure increases above the priority valve setting, the pri-
ority valve opens and sends oil flow to the manifold for clutch solenoid valves No. 2 and 3, the
manifold for clutch solenoid valves No. 1, 5, and 4, and the inlet passage for the selector and
pressure control valves.
The oil at the clutch solenoid valve manifolds become the pilot oil for the transmission speed
and directional selector spools.
SERV1859-01 - 125 - Text Reference

When the No. 3 clutch solenoid is ENERGIZED, the No. 3 clutch solenoid valve sends pilot oil
to one end of the selector spool for speed clutches No. 3 and 5. The pilot oil pressure over-
comes the force of the selector valve spring and moves the spool from its center position. Oil
from the inlet passage flows through the orifice, past the selector spool for speed clutches No. 3
and 5, and into the No. 3 speed clutch.
When directional solenoids No. 1 and 2 are DE-ENERGIZED, pilot oil is blocked at the direc-
tional solenoid valves. The directional clutch selector spool spring centers the valve. Oil flow
from the differential valve to the directional clutches is blocked.
When the oil requirements of the selector and pressure control valve have been satisfied, the
remaining power train pump oil flows to the torque converter.
Flow from the power train pump is sent to the torque converter filter. Oil flows from the filter
and joins with the oil from the selector and pressure control valve. The combined oil flows to
the torque converter. Flow continues through the torque converter to the torque converter out-
let relief valve. The torque converter outlet relief valve maintains the pressure in the torque
converter. From the outlet relief valve, flow continues through the cooler to the transmission
lubrication circuit.
When the transmission is in NEUTRAL, the ECM de-energizes the optional lockup clutch sole-
noid. When the lockup clutch solenoid is de-energized, the lockup clutch solenoid valve closes.
The closed valve blocks pump flow to the lockup clutch and allows the lockup clutch oil to
flow to the tank. The lockup clutch releases and disconnects the turbine from the rotating hous-
ing. No power is transmitted through the turbine from the housing.

pressure overcomes the force of the selector valve spring and moves the spool from its center
position. Directional clutch oil flows from the pressure differential valve, past the directional
clutch selector spool, and into the FORWARD directional clutch (No. 2).
When the ECM energizes the No. 5 solenoid, the No. 5 clutch solenoid valve sends pilot oil to

When de-energized, the No. 5 clutch solenoid valve blocks the pilot oil flow and sends the pilot
oil at the end of the selector spool for speed clutches No. 3 and 5 to drain.
When energized, the No. 4 clutch solenoid valve sends pilot oil to the end of the selector spool
for speed clutch No. 4. The pilot oil pressure overcomes the force of the selector valve spring
and moves the spool from its center position.
Oil from the inlet passage flows through the orifice, past the selector spool for speed clutches
No. 3 and 5, past the selector spool for speed clutches No. 4, and into the No. 4 speed clutch.

The empty No. 4 clutch causes the P1 and P2 pressures to decrease to less than 375 kPa
(55 psi). The decrease in P1 oil pressure allows the differential valve spring to move the differ-
ential valve up. When the differential valve moves up, the differential valve opens a passage
for oil in the differential valve spring chamber and the load piston cavity to flow to drain.
The transmission control valve then repeats the fill and modulation cycle. During a speed shift,
the ECM maintains maximum pressure in the impeller clutch. The transmission directional
clutch picks up the load after a shift.

When the operator shifts from FIRST SPEED FORWARD to SECOND SPEED REVERSE
(directional shift), the ECM de-energizes clutch solenoids No. 2 and 5 and energizes clutch
solenoids No. 1 and 4. The ECM also energizes the impeller clutch solenoid and de-energizes
the lockup clutch solenoid.
When the ECM de-energizes the No. 2 clutch solenoid, the No. 2 clutch solenoid valve blocks
the pilot oil flow and sends the pilot oil at the end of the selector spool to drain. The force of
the selector valve spring moves the spool to its center position. When the selector spool moves
to the center position, oil in the No. 2 clutch flows to drain.
When the ECM energizes the No.1 clutch solenoid, the No. 1 clutch solenoid valve sends pilot
oil to one end of the directional clutch selector spool for directional clutches No. 1 and 2. The
oil pressure overcomes the force of the selector valve spring and moves the spool from its cen-
ter position. Directional clutch oil flows from the pressure differential valve, past the direction-
al clutch selector spool, and into the REVERSE directional clutch (No. 1).
SERV1859-01 - 131 - Text Reference

When the ECM de-energizes the No. 5 clutch solenoid, the No. 5 clutch solenoid valve blocks
the pilot oil flow and sends the pilot oil at the end of the selector spool for speed clutches No. 3
and 5 to drain. The oil pressure overcomes the force of the selector valve spring and moves the
spool from its center position. When the selector spool moves to the center position, oil in the
No. 5 clutch flows to drain.
When the ECM energizes the No. 4 clutch solenoid, the No. 4 clutch solenoid valve sends pilot
oil to one end of the speed clutch selector spool for speed clutch No. 4. The oil pressure over-
comes the force of the selector valve spring and moves the spool from its center position. Oil
from the inlet passage flows through the orifice, past the selector spool for speed clutches No. 3
and 5, past the selector spool for speed clutches No. 4, and into the No. 4 speed clutch.
As the empty No. 1 and 4 clutches fill, they cause the P1 and P2 pressures to decrease to less
than 375 kPa (55 psi) momentarily. The momentary decrease in P1 oil pressure allows the dif-
ferential valve spring to move the differential valve up. When the differential valve moves up,
the differential valve opens a passage for oil in the differential valve spring chamber and the
load piston cavity to flow to drain.
The transmission control valve then repeats the fill and modulation cycle.
During a directional shift, the ECM reduces the pressure in the impeller clutch allowing the
impeller clutch to slip. The ECM monitors the torque converter output speed sensor and the
transmission output speed sensor to determine when the transmission clutches are engaged.
When the transmission clutches are engaged, the ECM engages the impeller clutch in the
torque converter. The torque converter picks up the load after a directional shift.

When the machine is operating in TORQUE CONVERTER DRIVE, five conditions must be
present before the ECM will energize the lockup clutch solenoid and shift the torque converter
to DIRECT DRIVE.
When the lockup clutch solenoid is energized, the lockup clutch solenoid valve opens. The
power train pump oil flows past the lockup clutch solenoid valve and fills the lockup clutch.
The lockup clutch engages and connects the turbine to the rotating housing.
In DIRECT DRIVE, both the impeller clutch and the lockup clutch are engaged. The torque
converter rotating housing, the impeller, and the turbine turn as a unit. The stator, which is
mounted on a freewheel assembly, is driven by the force of the oil in the housing and will free-
wheel at approximately the same rpm.

By decreasing the engine speed, the amount of torque that is delivered to the power train
through the torque converter is reduced. Since the implement pump drives are connected
directly to the engine, maximum torque is delivered to the pumps when the engine speed
decreases. This feature results in a net gain of available torque for the pumps.
Torque strategy is automatically enabled when the Power Train ECM determines machine con-
ditions are appropriate for digging. The conditions are:
When torque strategy is initiated, the Power Train ECM uses internal data and information
communicated over the CAT Data Link from the Implement ECM and the Engine ECM to
determine the torque strategy parameters.
The Implement ECM signals hydraulic pressure from the implement pumps to help determine
implement needs and operator demands and the lift linkage position as part of the digging sta-
tus. The Power Train ECM uses the transmission output speed sensor to determine ground
speed. The Power Train ECM also evaluates reduced rimpull status and torque converter pedal
position. The Engine ECM provides the engine rpm signal.
When torque strategy is activated, the Power Train ECM sends a Transmission Requested
Engine Speed Limit to the Engine ECM over the CAT Data Link. The Transmission Requested
Engine Speed Limit will vary between 1400 and 2500 rpm. The actual value varies based on
the engine speed, torque converter output speed, implement pump pressures, torque converter
pedal position, and rimpull status.
When torque strategy is inactive, the Power Train ECM sends a transmission requested engine
speed limit of 2500 rpm to the Engine ECM. The Engine ECM high idle of 1850 rpm does not
allow the engine to exceed 1850 rpm.
Two different engine stall speeds can be measured during a torque converter stall check. One
stall speed (1620 rpm) will be measured when torque strategy is active and another
(1715 rpm) will be measured when torque strategy is inactive.
- An increase in the implement pump pressures will lower the transmission requested
engine speed limit.
- A reduction in the desired rimpull with the reduced rimpull selector switch or the torque
converter pedal will increase the transmission requested engine speed limit.
When torque strategy is enabled, any of the following conditions will cause torque strategy to
be disabled:
NOTE: Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) is very useful in determining the torque
strategy status. After the connection is made, group 5 (under the Power Train ECM
groups) has already been configured with some of the important parameters for viewing
torque strategy status.

The above illustration is a graphical representation of the Power Train Torque Strategy on the
992K Wheel Loader for the purpose of discussion. The vertical axis is torque and the horizon-
tal axis is engine rpm. The blue curve represents engine output torque which peaks at 1400
rpm. The red line represents the torque absorbed by the torque converter, which intersects
engine torque output at the single stall speed of 1715 rpm.
In the first stage of Power Train Torque Strategy the Power Train ECM sends a transmission
requested engine speed of 1620 rpm to the Engine ECM. This decreases the amount of torque
absorbed by the torque converter and the rest of the power train components.
As the implement pump pressures increases to 4500 psi the Power Train ECM sends the mini-
mum transmission requested engine speed of 1400 rpm to the Engine ECM. This further
widens the gap between engine output torque and torque absorbed by the torque converter. The
torque that is not absorbed by the torque converter is available for the implement pumps, which
are driven by the engine.

There are two autolube pressure sensors. The NEEF autolube pressure sensor (arrow) is located
on the NEEF, above and to the left of the implement control valve. The NEEF autolube pres-
sure sensor monitors the pressure of the autolube grease downstream of the autolube pump.
The pump autolube pressure is located on the autolube pump (as shown in the previous illustra-
tion) and monitors the pressure of the autolube grease at the autolube pump. Both sensors send
a signal to the Power Train ECM.
The ECM will end the automatic lube mode when the pressure reaches the minimum autolube
pressure configuration.
After the Power Train ECM energizes the autolube solenoid, if the grease pressure does not
increase above the injector activation pressure (default 2500 psi) for at least 10 seconds, the
Power Train ECM activates an "Autolube Pressure Low" warning.
If the maximum operating pressure (3500 psi) was reached at the pump before the downstream
pressure reached the minimum autolube pressure configuration an "Abnormal Machine Auto
Lube System Operation" warning will be activated by the ECM. This warning indicates there is
an excessive pressure drop in the system that is preventing the downstream injectors from
reaching the required pressure.
Probable causes of the injectors not reaching the required pressure are the pump running too
fast or the grease is too thick for the operating temperature.

After the engine is started, the Power Train ECM waits two minutes before energizing the
autolube solenoid valve. The timer allows the solenoid to remain energized for up to 120 sec-
onds. If the autolube grease pressure reaches the injector activation pressure and maintains that
pressure for 10 seconds, the Power Train ECM de-energizes the autolube solenoid valve. Every
15 minutes thereafter, the Power Train ECM energizes the solenoid.
This process continues until one of the following conditions occur: the engine stops running,
the implement lockout switch is in the ON position, engine is at an elevated idle, engine is
below 1100 rpm, or if the machine speed is greater than 14 km/h (9 mph).
When the autolube solenoid valve is energized, the fan pump oil flows through the autolube
solenoid valve, the pressure reducing valve, and the flow control valve to the autolube and to
the vent valve. The vent valve shifts down to allow the grease to flow to the injectors. The
autolube pump draws grease from the autolube reservoir and the grease flows through the check
valve, the vent valve, and to the injectors.
The safety unloader valve protects the autolube grease system from damage due to excessive
grease pressures. If the autolube grease pressure reaches 4000 psi, the safety unloader valve
will vent the grease to atmosphere.

The electrohydraulic system is now controlled by Positive Flow Control (PFC). With PFC, the
Implement ECM receives the following information: engine speed, pump pressure, lift cylinder
velocity, lift valve commands, tilt cylinder velocity, tilt valve commands, and hydraulic oil tem-
perature. The ECM interprets the data, and sends a pump displacement signal to the pump con-
trol in the Implement ECM. The pump control takes this data, compares the data with the actu-
al engine speed, pump calibration table, the pump current rate limit and the output driver
processer to send a proportional current to the individual solenoid valves in the pump control
valves. The implement pumps upstroke when there is a demand for more supply oil in the sys-

In the HOLD position, both solenoids for the pilot hydraulic actuators are de-energized. When
both solenoids are de-energized, the pilot spools direct pilot oil to the ends of the main spool.
The pilot pressure at each end of the main spool and the force of the centering springs keep the
main spool centered in the control valve.
The centering springs and retainers help stabilize the movement of the main spool. The stabi-
lizing springs dampen the movement of the pilot spools by holding the pilot spools in contact
with the feedback springs.

When the left actuator solenoid is energized, the solenoid moves the pilot spool to the right.
The pilot spool directs the pilot oil on the left side of the main spool to tank. This decreases the
pilot oil pressure at the left end of the main spool.
The right actuator solenoid is de-energized. When the solenoid is de-energized, the feedback
spring holds the pilot spool to the right. The pilot spool directs pilot oil to the right end of the
main spool. The pilot oil pressure at the right end of the main spool moves the main spool to
the left. As the main spool moves to the left toward the left pilot spool, the centering springs
and the feedback spring are compressed.

When the left actuator solenoid is energized, the main spool moves to the left which compress-
es the centering springs and the feedback spring. The force of the feedback spring is equal to
the force of the actuator solenoid and the stabilizing spring. When the pilot spool moves far
enough to the left, the pilot oil port and the tank oil port are blocked. When the oil in the actua-
tor is blocked the main spool stops moving. The main spool will stay in this balanced position
until the current to the actuator solenoid changes.
If the operator moves the implement control lever further in the same direction, the Implement
ECM will increase the current to the actuator solenoid. The increase of current increases the
force on the pilot spool. The pilot spool will move to the right which opens the tank oil port.
The decreased oil pressure inside the left actuator will allow the main spool to move further to
the left due to the pilot oil pressure on the right end of the main spool. As the main spool
moves to the left the feedback spring will be compressed more and the feedback sequence
begins again.
If the operator moves the implement control lever toward the centered position, the Implement
ECM will decrease the current to the actuator solenoid. The decrease of current decreases the
force on the pilot spool. The pilot spool will move to the left which opens the pilot oil port and
blocks the tank oil port.

The combined force of the pilot oil and the compressed centering springs on the left side of the
main spool will move the main spool to the right. This will decrease the flow of oil to the
implements. The force on the pilot spool from the feedback spring decreases as the main spool
moves to the right. As the main spool moves to the right the force of the feedback spring con-
tinues to decrease. The pilot spool continues to move to the right until the pilot oil port and the
tank oil port are blocked. When the force of the feedback spring equals the combined force of
the stabilizing spring and the actuator solenoid, the spools will be balanced. The spools will
remain balanced until the current to the actuator solenoid increases or decreases.

The implement pump is a variable displacement piston pump that supplies hydraulic oil to the
implement system.
The impeller pump produces enough flow to lubricate the pump and provide instant reaction for
upstroking.
Pump output oil flows to the implement hydraulic system and to the small actuator through a
port within the pump housing. The combination of oil pressure and the spring at the end of the
small actuator provide the force that shifts the actuator to the right to upstroke the pump. Also,
the spring will assist in upstroking the pump at low discharge pressure.
The pump solenoid valve directs pilot oil to the large end of the actuator to control the pump
swashplate angle. When the solenoid is energized by the Implement ECM, pilot oil flows to
drain and the pump upstrokes due to the the combination of pump output oil pressure and the
spring at the end of the small actuator.
SERV1859-01 - 179 - Text Reference

When the solenoid is de-energized by the Implement ECM, the solenoid pin moves the control
spool to the left and pilot oil flows to the large pump actuator. The control spool also com-
presses the spring inside the large actuator. The pilot oil pressure and the spring force move the
large actuator to the left and the pump destrokes.

When the implement pump is at low pressure standby, the Implement ECM sends a proportion-

rent required to produce low pressure standby using the input signals from the pump pressure
sensor and the implement pump calibration data.
In the minimum displacement position, the Implement ECM sends a minimum current to the
pump solenoid valve. The solenoid valve directs pilot oil flow to the large end of the actuator.
The spring force and the pilot pressure on the large end of the actuator work against the pump
output oil and spring force on the small end of the actuator.
The actuator moves to the left rotating the swashplate to the required angle needed to produce
low pressure standby. Minimum oil flow is directed to the implement control valve.

When the flow demands of the implement system have been met, the implement pump moves
to a constant displacement position. The Implement ECM determines the amount of current
required to maintain the pump swashplate using the input signals from the pump pressure sen-
sor, lift and tilt linkage sensors, lift and tilt lever position sensor, and pump calibration data.
In a constant displacement position, the Implement ECM sends current to the pump solenoid
valve. The solenoid valve meters the pilot oil to the large end of the actuator to maintain the
swashplate position.
The pump output oil and spring force on the small end of the actuator work against the spring
force and the pilot pressure on the large end of the actuator. The actuator shifts to the right and

In the maximum displacement position, the Implement ECM sends a maximum current to the
pump solenoid valve. The solenoid valve blocks pilot oil flow from the large end of the actua-
tor and also drains the oil from the actuator.
The pump output oil and spring force on the small end of the actuator work against the spring

The pilot relief valve limits the pilot system pressure to 3500 ± 150 kPa (508 ± 22 psi).
The pilot on/off valve solenoid is controlled by the implement lockout switch through the
Implement ECM. When the implement lockout switch is in the OFF position, the Implement
ECM de-energizes the pilot on/off solenoid valve. Pilot oil is then blocked at the pilot on/off
solenoid valve. When the implement lockout switch is in the ON position, the Implement ECM
energizes the pilot on/off solenoid valve. Pilot oil flows past the pilot on/off solenoid valve to
the pilot hydraulic actuator on each end of the control valve spools.
The implement pumps pull oil from the tank and send oil flow to the main control valve. Oil
flows to the main relief valves, to the tilt control valve spools, and to the lift control valve
spools.
When the main control valve spools are in the HOLD position, oil flows through the
open-center tilt control valves and through an orifice in the lift control valves to the tank.
Implement system pressure is controlled at a maximum of 31000 ± 700 kPa (4496 ± 102 psi)
by the main relief valves.
In the HOLD position, oil flow to and from the cylinders is blocked by the control valve
spools.

When the tilt lever is moved to the TILT BACK position, the tilt lever position sensor sends a
PWM signal to the Implement ECM. The Implement ECM analyzes the input signals from the
tilt lever position sensor and the tilt linkage position sensor. The Implement ECM then sends
current to energize the tilt back hydraulic actuator solenoid valves in the implement control
valve. The Implement ECM's electrical output is proportional to the input signals from the tilt
lever position sensor and the tilt linkage position sensor.
The tilt back hydraulic actuator valves send pilot oil to the tank and decreases the oil pressure at
the top end of the tilt control valve spools. The pilot oil pressure at the rack back end of the tilt
control valve spools moves the control valve spools up to the TILT BACK position.
The tilt spools direct oil from the implement pump through the load check valve to the rod end
of the tilt cylinder. The tilt cylinder retracts. The tilt spool also opens a passage for oil in the
head end of the tilt cylinder to return to the tank.

When energized by the Implement ECM, the dual tilt relief solenoid valve directs pilot oil from
the spring chamber of the tilt cylinder rod end line relief valve to tank. With the pilot oil sent
to the tank, the line relief valve setting is decreased.
When the dual tilt relief solenoid valve is de-energized by the Implement ECM, the valve
directs pilot oil to the spring chamber of the tilt cylinder rod end line relief valve. The pilot oil
increases the line relief valve setting.

When the tilt lever is moved to the DUMP position, the tilt lever position sensor sends a PWM
signal to the Implement ECM. The Implement ECM analyzes the input signals from the tilt
lever position sensor and the tilt linkage position sensor. The Implement ECM then sends cur-
rent to energize the regeneration solenoid valve and the dump hydraulic actuator solenoid
valves in the implement control valve. The Implement ECM's electrical output is proportional
to the input signals from the tilt lever position sensor and the tilt linkage position sensor.
The regeneration solenoid valve will be energized before the dump pilot hydraulic actuators
valves. The regeneration valve performs two functions:
With the tilt regeneration solenoid energized, pilot oil on the left end of the tilt regeneration
valve is directed to the tank. Pilot oil pressure on the right end of the tilt regeneration valve
moves the valve to the left and tilt cylinder rod end oil unseats the check valve. When the
check valve unseats, the rod end oil is added to the head end oil of the tilt cylinder.

The dump pilot hydraulic actuator valves send pilot oil to the tank and decreases the oil pres-
sure at the lower end of the tilt control valve spools. The pilot oil pressure at the dump end of
the tilt control valve spools moves the control valve spools down to the DUMP position.
The tilt spools direct oil from the implement pump through the load check valve to the head
end of the tilt cylinder. The tilt cylinder extends. The tilt spool also opens a passage for oil in

This illustration shows the tilt regeneration valve with the tilt regeneration solenoid energized.
Pilot pump oil flows to the left end of the spool and to the solenoid valve. When the solenoid
is energized, pilot pump oil is blocked at the solenoid spool. Pilot oil at the left end of the
regeneration spool overcomes the spring force at the right end of the regeneration spool and the
regeneration spool moves to the right.
When the Implement ECM determines the tilt cylinder movement is excessive, the solenoid is
energized. Return oil from the tilt cylinder rod end flows though the regeneration spool and the
check valve to combine with the pump flow to the head end of the tilt cylinder. The combined
flow prevents the tilt cylinder voiding during machine operation.
If the pressure in the head end of the tilt cylinder is greater that the pressure in the rod end, the
check valve will not open. In this example, regeneration will not occur.

rent to energize the raise hydraulic actuator solenoid valves in the implement control valve.
The Implement ECM's electrical output is proportional to the input signals from the lift lever

The raise hydraulic actuator valves send pilot oil to the tank and decrease the oil pressure at the
lower end of the lift control valve spools. The pilot oil pressure at the raise end of the lift con-
trol valve spools moves the control valve spools down to the RAISE position.
The lift spools direct oil from the implement pump through the load check valve to the head

If the machine is equipped with the optional ride control system, the pressure in the head end of
the lift cylinders increases during the RAISE function. As the oil pressure increases, the oil
pressure on the left end of the balance valve will force the balance valve to shift to the left.
Supply oil flows through the check valve, through the balance valve to the ride control accumu-
lators, charging the accumulators. When the accumulators are fully charged accumulator oil
pressure closes the check valve.
With ride control not enabled, the ride control solenoid valve is de-energized. Oil flow
between the head end of the lift cylinders and the accumulators is blocked. The oil from the
rod end of the lift cylinders flows around the lift spool to the hydraulic tank.

When the lift lever is moved to the LOWER position, the lift lever position sensor sends a
PWM signal to the Implement ECM. The Implement ECM analyzes the input signals from the

current to energize the lower hydraulic actuator solenoid valves in the implement control valve.
The Implement ECM's electrical output is proportional to the input signals from the lift lever
position sensor and the lift linkage position sensor.
The lower hydraulic actuator valves send pilot oil to the tank and decrease the oil pressure at
the top end of the lift control valve spools. The pilot oil pressure at the lower end of the lift
control valve spools moves the control valve spools up to the LOWER position.
The lift spools direct oil from the implement pump through the load check valve to the rod end
of the lift cylinders. The lift cylinders lower. The lift spool also opens a passage for oil in the

To enter the FLOAT position, the wheel loader bucket must be below the lower kickout posi-
tion. When the lift lever is moved to the FLOAT position, the movement of the lift control
spools are the same as when the lift control lever is in the LOWER position. However, the
Implement ECM also energizes the float solenoid valves and the electromagnetic float detent
coil, which holds the lift lever in the FLOAT position. When the float solenoid valves are ener-
gized, the oil is drained from the float valve.
The small orifice in the float valves cause a restriction to the implement pump oil when filling
the cavity behind the float valves. With oil flowing from behind the float check valves faster
than oil flows in, the pressure difference between the oil around the float check valves and the
oil behind the float check valves becomes high enough to lift the float check valve off its seat.
The oil from the implement pump flows past the float valve to the tank.
The oil in the rod end of the lift cylinders is now open to tank and the bucket follows the con-
tour of the ground in the FLOAT position.

When the bucket is being LOWERED with the ENGINE OFF the weight of the implement cre-
ates a high pressure in the head end of the lift cylinders. The high lift cylinder pressure oil
flows through the shuttle valve to the pressure reducing valve.
The pressure reducing valve decreases the lift cylinder oil pressure to approximately
1580 kPa (230 psi). The reduced pressure oil flows past the check valve to the pilot on/off
solenoid valve and becomes the oil supply for the pilot system.
When the on/off solenoid valve is de-energized, pilot oil is blocked at the on/off solenoid valve.
When the on/off solenoid valve is energized (as shown), pilot oil flows through the on/off sole-
noid valve and pressurizes the pilot solenoid valves.
When the lift control lever is moved to the LOWER position, the Implement ECM operation is
the same as when the engine is running. The lift control spool directs oil in the head end of the
lift cylinders to the tank. Tank oil flows through the rod end makeup valves into the rod end of
the lift cylinders and prevents cylinder cavitation.

This schematic shows the hydraulic flow when the ride control solenoid valve is energized.
The ride control solenoid valve is controlled by the Power Train ECM. The ride control switch
(not shown) allows the operator to select between the ride control ON, the ride control OFF,
and the ride control AUTO positions. When the ride control switch is in the ON position, the
Power Train ECM continually energizes the ride control solenoid valve.
When the ride control switch is in the AUTO position, the Power Train ECM energizes the ride
control solenoid when the machine ground speed is above 9.7 km/hr (6 mph) and will
de-energize the ride control solenoid when the ground speed is below 9.7 km/hr (6 mph).
When the Power Train ECM energizes the ride control solenoid valve, pilot pressure at the
diverter valve flows to the tank. The spring shifts the diverter valve to connect the head end of
the lift cylinders with the accumulators and the rod end of the lift cylinders to tank. A floating
piston in the accumulators separates the oil from the nitrogen gas. Since nitrogen gas is com-
pressible, the gas functions as a spring.
SERV1859-01 - 204 - Text Reference
02/09 992K Implement Sys
Any downward force on the lift arms is transferred through the oil at the head end of the lift
cylinders to the accumulators. The pressure of the oil is transmitted to the accumulator piston,
which compresses the nitrogen gas. Compressing the nitrogen gas absorbs the pressure spike
and the oil displacement caused by the downward force on the lift arms. This operation results
in less ground induced shocks on structures and components, reduced tire flexing and a greater
payload retention.
When the lift arms are raised, the balance valve moves in the direction needed to equalize the
pressures on each end of the balance spool. During the balancing operation, when the pressure
on the right end of the balance spool is lowest, the spool shifts right and the implement pump
supplies oil flow to equalize the pressure on both ends of the spool. During the balancing oper-
ation, when the pressure at the left end of the balance spool is lowest, the spool shifts left and
the oil pressure in the accumulator flows to tank until the pressures on both ends of the spool
are equal.
At a ground speed below the ECM configured value of 9.7 km/h (6 mph), the ride control sole-
noid valve is de-energized. The de-energized solenoid blocks the oil flow to the tank from the
rod end of the lift cylinders and the lift cylinder head end oil from flowing to the accumulator.
NOTE: The forward activation speed and reverse activation speed for the ride control
system can be configured for the desired operating conditions.

The 992K Wheel Loader implement control strategy consists of the following features:
Programmable Lift and Tilt Kickouts: Allows the operator to program the lift kickout, the
lower kickout, and the tilt kickout from the cab.
Rack Inversion: The solenoid command is limited when the linkage is close to contacting the
tilt back or dump stops, or bottoming out the cylinder.
Dump Inversion: The solenoid command is reduced when the tilt cylinder is close to full
retraction and a full dump command is sent to the ECM. The reduced command prevents
excessive machine movement when the bucket is dumped. The command will increase to the
full dump command as the linkage travels downward.
Full Dump Lift Angle Control (FDLAC): The lift solenoid command is limited when the
bucket is close to contacting the dump stops or bottoming out the cylinder.
Full Rack Angle Control (FRAC): During lifting, the Implement ECM automatically adjusts
the bucket angle in the dump direction when the boom is slightly above horizontal to prevent
spillage and maintain a level bucket.
SERV1859-01 - 206 - Text Reference
02/09 992K Implement Sys
Rackback Force Limiting: The tilt dual relief valve is energized to reduced the amount of
force generated when the bucket is close to contacting the rackback stops.
Lower Feather Catch: Brings the linkage to a smooth stop when a lower command is abrupt-
ly stopped.
Float: Occurs when the boom is below the lower kickout and the lever is moved into lower
detent. (used for dozing and cleanup).
Lift Snubbing: The solenoid command is limited when the linkage is close to bottoming out
the lift cylinders.
NOTE: When the boom is at the maximum lift position and the lift lever is moved to
hold and back to raise, lift snubbing is cancelled resulting in main relief pressure in the
head end of the lift cylinders. This procedure can be used for checking main relief pres-
sure and implement stall conditions. The implement hydraulic service mode eliminates
snubbing.

The implement pump solenoid calibration determine the current required to move the pump
swashplate. The pressure sensors are used by the Implement ECM to determine the minimum
and maximum swashplate angles. By using the pressure sensor, the ECM eliminates the dead-
band in the pump resulting in maximum pump performance.
The implement valve solenoid calibration determines the current required to initiate movement
of the pilot valve spool to allow oil flow and to initiate movement of the main control spool.
The main spool shifts until pressure increases enough to initiate the movement of the imple-
ment in a desired direction.
When the operator moves the implement lever during normal operation, the Implement ECM
begins energizing the corresponding solenoid with the calibrated current level. Using the cali-
brated current level to initiate movement results in consistent implement movement and helps
to eliminate the deadband (free travel) in the implement control levers.

This illustration shows the 854K pilot operated implement hydraulic system. The pilot system
controls the functions of the dozer control valve and the dual tilt valve.
The implement hydraulic system is a continuous flow design that permits minimum pressure in
the system when the implement control valves are not activated.
The pilot pump supplies oil through the pilot filter to the dual tilt valve and the pilot on/off
solenoid. When the pilot solenoid is energized by the pilot lockout switch in the cab, pilot oil
flows to the lift and tilt pilot control valves.
The lift pump supplies oil to the lift spool in the dozer valve. The tilt pump supplies oil to the
tilt spool in the dozer valve.
The dozer lift spool has four positions: RAISE, HOLD, LOWER, and FLOAT. Only the
FLOAT position has a detent. The blade tilt spool has three positions: TILT RIGHT, HOLD,
and TILT LEFT. None of the blade tilt positions have a detent.

The dual tilt valve provides the dozer tilt circuit with three different modes of operation:
DUAL TILT, SINGLE TILT, and BLADE PITCH. The dual tilt valve is activated by pilot oil
and contains a spring centered, hydraulically actuated spool valve and an electrically actuated
solenoid valve.
The manual lower valve directs oil from the head end of the lift cylinders to the tank, which
allows the lift cylinders to retract and the blade to raise. The manual valve will also direct oil
from the rod end of the lift cylinders to the tank, which allows the lift cylinders to extend and
the blade to lower.

The lift and tilt spools are operated by pilot pressure oil that acts on the ends of the spools. In
the HOLD position, the centering springs keep the lift spool and the tilt spool in the centered
position. Oil from the lift pump flows to the lift load check valve and the lift dump valve. Oil
from the tilt pump flows to the tilt load check valve and through the tilt spool to combine with
lift pump oil flow when the tilt spool is in the HOLD position.
The lift and tilt spools block oil flow to the lift and tilt cylinders. The oil is trapped between
the spools and the load check valves, which causes the cylinders to remain in the HOLD posi-
tion.
The dump valve spring force plus the tank oil pressure on the bottom of the dump valve provide
a flow restriction. When the oil pressure at the top of the dump valve increases above the
spring force plus the tank oil pressure, the dump valve will open and permit the combined flow
from the lift and tilt pumps to return directly to the tank. With both spools in the HOLD posi-
tion, the dump valve provides a constant low system pressure which is available for instant
implement response or for "feathering" action of the controls when activated by the operator.

When the lift circuit pressure increases to 22675 ± 690 kPa (3290 ± 100 psi), the lift relief
valve will open and drain the lift dump valve spring chamber. The lift dump valve opens and
directs oil to the tank, which limits the pressure in the lift circuit.
When the tilt circuit pressure increases to 24560 ± 690 kPa (3560 ± 100 psi), the tilt relief
valve will open and drain the tilt dump valve spring chamber. The tilt dump valve opens and
directs oil to the tank, which limits the pressure in the tilt circuit.
The shuttle valve directs oil from the highest pressure circuit (rod end or head end of the lift
cylinders) to the spring chamber of the lift dump valve.

This illustration shows the dozer control valve in the RAISE position. When the joystick is
moved to the RAISE position, the lift pilot valve directs pilot oil to the right end of the lift
spool. Pilot oil pressure moves the lift spool to the left. The lift pump oil opens the lift load
check valve and the lift spool directs oil to the rod end of the lift cylinders. The lift spool also
directs oil from the head end of the lift cylinders to the tank.
The lift spool also directs oil to the shuttle valve. The shuttle valve operates similarly to a
check valve. With the lift spool in the RAISE position, the shuttle valve allows oil to flow to
the spring chamber of the lift dump valve. At this point, the dump valve is converted to a pilot
operated relief valve. During blade raise and lower, system pressure can increase because the
pressure in the spring chamber plus the force of the spring will keep the dump valve closed
until the relief valve opens.
When the lift circuit pressure increases to 22675 ± 690 kPa (3290 ± 100 psi), the relief valve
will move to the right and open the spring chamber of the dump valve to drain. Lift circuit
pressure can then move the dump valve to the right and open a passage to the tank. This opera-
tion prevents lift circuit pressure from increasing above
22675 ± 690 kPa (3290 ± 100 psi).
SERV1859-01 - 227 - Text Reference
02/09 854K Implement Sys
An additional condition can exist during dozer operation which is referred to as "feathering the
blade." If the operator moves the control lever a small distance to gradually raise the blade, oil
flow to the cylinders flows through the throttling slots in the lift spool. Flow through the throt-
tling slots can create the same effect as an orifice by restricting the flow of oil to the lift cylin-
der and to the spring chamber of the dump valve. This restriction to flow causes a pressure dif-
ference between the oil in the center chamber of the valve body (lift circuit pressure) and the
oil in the spring chamber of the dump valve (cylinder pressure). If the pressure difference is
greater than the spring force, the dump valve will open and permit some of the pump flow to
return to the tank.
With the lift spool in the RAISE position, the load check valve is used to prevent reverse oil
flow from the cylinders which can cause "cylinder drift."

This illustration shows the dozer control valve in the TILT RIGHT position. When the joystick
is moved to the TILT RIGHT position, the tilt pilot valve directs pilot oil to the left end of the
tilt spool. Pilot oil pressure moves the lift spool to the right. The tilt pump oil opens the tilt
load check valve and oil is allowed to flow to the tilt spool and the tilt dump valve. The tilt
spool directs oil to the head end of the left tilt cylinder. The tilt spool also directs oil from the
head end of the right tilt cylinder to tank.
With the tilt spool in the TILT RIGHT position, oil flow from the tilt pump does not combine
with oil flow from the large pump. Because the tilt pump oil flow does not combine with the
lift pump oil flow, the lift dump valve does not control the tilt circuit pressure. The tilt relief
valve is used to limit the tilt circuit pressure. When the tilt cylinder pressure increases to
24560 ± 690 kPa (3560 ± 100 psi), the tilt relief valve opens and drains the spring chamber of
the tilt dump valve. The tilt dump valve opens, which limits the tilt circuit pressure.

In the pilot system, the pilot pump pulls oil from the tank and sends oil flow through the pilot
oil filter to the pilot relief valve, the pilot on/off valve, and the dual tilt valve as previously
described.
The pilot relief valve limits the pilot system pressure to 2400 ± 150 kPa (350 ± 22 psi).
The pilot on/off valve solenoid is controlled by the hydraulic lockout switch in the cab. When
the lockout switch is in the OFF position, the pilot on/off solenoid valve is de-energized and
pilot oil is blocked at the pilot on/off solenoid valve. When the implement lockout switch is in
the ON position, the pilot on/off solenoid valve is energized and pilot oil flows past the pilot
on/off solenoid valve to the lift and tilt pilot valve spools.
SERV1859-01 - 230 - Text Reference

In the HOLD position, the pilot valve spools block pilot oil from flowing to the lift and tilt
valve spools and the centering springs keep the lift spool and the tilt spool in the centered posi-
tion. Pilot oil is also blocked at the dual tilt solenoid valve.
The lift and tilt pumps pull oil from the tank through the case drain filter and send oil flow to
the dozer control valve. The lift spool is a closed-center spool and the tilt spool is an
open-center spool. In the dozer control valve, oil from the lift pump flows to the load check
valve and the lift dump valve. Oil from the tilt pump flows to the load check valve and
through the tilt spool to combine with lift pump oil flow.
With both spools in the HOLD position, pump oil is blocked from flowing to the lift and tilt
cylinders and the load check valves will not open.
The dump valve spring force plus the tank oil pressure on the bottom of the dump valve pro-
vide a flow restriction. When the oil pressure at the top of the dump valve increases above the
spring force plus the tank oil pressure, the dump valve will open and permit the combined flow
from the lift and tilt pumps to return directly to the tank. With both spools in the HOLD posi-
tion, the dump valve provides a constant low system pressure which is available for instant
implement response or for "feathering" action of the controls when activated by the operator.
Both the tilt and lift circuits have a load check valve and a relief valve. The lift circuit has
makeup valves for both the rod end and head end of the lift cylinders.
Each lift and tilt cylinder contains a bypass valve. The bypass valves allow the completion of
the lift and tilt operation. When one of the cylinders reaches the end of its travel, the oil flows
through the bypass valve to continue filling the other cylinder.

When the joystick is moved to the RAISE position, the lift pilot valve directs pilot oil to the left
end of the lift spool. The pilot oil pressure moves the lift spool left to the RAISE position. The
lift spool directs pump oil to the rod end of the lift cylinders to retract the lift cylinders and
raise the blade.
The lift spool also opens a passage for oil in the head end of the lift cylinders to return to the
tank.
The lift spool also directs oil to the left end of the shuttle valve and the shuttle valve directs oil
to the spring chamber of the lift dump valve. The dump valve now operates as a pilot operated
relief valve. During blade raise and lower functions, lift circuit pressure can increase because
the pressure in the spring chamber plus the force of the spring will keep the dump valve closed
until the relief setting of the pilot valve is reached. When the lift circuit pressure increases to
22675 ± 690 kPa (3290 ± 100 psi), the relief valve will open and oil in the dump valve spring
chamber flows to the tank. Lift circuit oil pressure moves the dump valve down and oil flows
to the tank.

ders and lower the blade.
The lift spool also opens a passage for oil in the rod end of the lift cylinders to return to the

When the joystick is moved to the FLOAT (detent) position, the lift pilot valve directs pilot oil
to the right end of the lift spool. The pilot oil pressure moves the lift spool left to the FLOAT
position.
In the FLOAT position, oil from the head end and rod end of the lift cylinders is open to the
tank. The weight of the blade lowers the blade.
When an outside force moves the blade up, the oil pressure in the rod end of the lift cylinders
decreases as the rods retract. Oil pressure in the rod end circuit is less than the oil pressure in
the head end circuit. The higher pressure in the head end circuit opens a makeup valve to fill
the rod end circuit to prevent cavitation.

When the engine won't run or the pilot or lift pump fails, the manual lower valve must be used
to lower the blade. When the blade is being lowered with the ENGINE OFF, the weight of the
blade creates a high pressure in the rod end of the lift cylinders. The high lift cylinder pressure
oil flows through the shuttle valve to the manual lower valve. When the manual lower valve is
opened, oil from the rod end of the lift cylinders is directed to the tank and the blade will lower.

When the joystick is moved right to the TILT RIGHT position and the tilt selection switch is in

pilot oil pressure moves the tilt spool left to the TILT RIGHT position. The tilt spool directs tilt
pump oil to the head end of the left tilt cylinder. The left tilt cylinder extends.
In the DUAL TILT mode, the S1 and S2 solenoids are de-energized and pilot oil is blocked at
the dual tilt solenoid valve. The dual tilt spool is centered. When the left tilt cylinder extends,
oil from the rod end of the left tilt cylinder flows through the dual tilt spool to the rod end of
the right tilt cylinder. The right tilt cylinder retracts and the oil in the head of the right tilt
cylinder returns to tank through the tilt spool.
With the tilt spool in the TILT RIGHT position, lift pump oil flow is blocked at the tilt spool.
Oil flow from the tilt pump does not combine with oil flow from the lift pump, therefore the lift
dump valve does not control the tilt circuit pressure. The tilt relief valve is used to limit the
pressure in the tilt circuit. When the tilt cylinder pressure increases to 24560 ± 690 kPa
(3560 ± 100 psi), the tilt relief valve will open and drain the tilt dump valve spring chamber.

When the joystick is moved right to the TILT RIGHT position and the tilt selection switch is in
the BLADE PITCH mode, the tilt circuit will operate in the BLADE PITCH FORWARD posi-

moves the tilt spool left to the TILT RIGHT position. The tilt spool directs tilt pump oil to the
head end of the left tilt cylinder. The left tilt cylinder extends.
In the BLADE PITCH mode, the S1 solenoid is energized and the S2 solenoid is de-energized.
The dual tilt solenoid valve moves to the right and pilot oil is directed to the left end of the dual
tilt spool. Pilot oil pressure moves the dual tilt spool to the right. When the left tilt cylinder
extends, oil from the rod end of the left tilt cylinder flows to the head end of the right tilt cylin-
der and the right tilt cylinder extends. When both tilt cylinders extend, the blade will pitch for-
ward. Oil from the rod end of the right tilt cylinder flows to the tank through the tilt spool.
NOTE: The BLADE PITCH mode has priority over the SINGLE TILT mode. If the
trigger switch is depressed while the machine is operating in the SINGLE TILT mode,
the S2 coil for the single tilt is de-energized and the S1 coil for the blade pitch is ener-
gized. This feature ensures that the BLADE PITCH can always be changed, regardless
of the toggle switch position.

electrical components and hydraulic components.
The main electrical system components (yellow) are the Engine ECM, the fan solenoid valve,
and the VIMS ECM. The coolant temperature sensor, the right intake manifold temperature
sensor, and the hydraulic oil temperature sensor information are sent to the Engine ECM to
determine the fan speed. The Engine ECM will interpret the data and sent the appropriate
amount of current to the fan solenoid to increase/decrease the fan speed.
The main hydraulic components (red) are the hydraulic tank, fan hydraulic pump, fan motor,
and hydraulic oil cooler.

The cooling fan sends air flow through the radiator, the hydraulic cooler, the steering and brake
oil cooler, the ATAAC, the axle oil cooler, the fuel cooler, and the air conditioning condenser.
The demand fan solenoid valve controls the signal oil to the pump compensator valve. When
the Engine ECM de-energizes the demand fan solenoid (as shown), the solenoid closes the pas-
sage for signal oil flow to the tank. The signal oil flows through the two orifices to the pump
compensator valve and upstrokes the pump.
The fan will operate at a maximum speed of 800 ± 50 rpm with the following temperatures:
- Engine coolant temperature is above 92° C (198° F)
- Intake manifold air temperature is above 49° C (120° F)
- Hydraulic oil temperature is above 87° C (189° F)

The Engine ECM analyzes the signals from the engine coolant temperature sensor, right intake
manifold temperature sensor, and the implement hydraulic tank temperature sensor.
When the Engine ECM energizes the fan solenoid valve, the solenoid valve opens the passage
for signal oil flow to the tank. The size of the opening is proportional to the current from the
Engine ECM.
Signal oil flows through the open passage to the tank. This condition decreases the signal pres-
sure at the compensator valve and destrokes the pump. Destroking the pump decreases pump
flow and decreases the fan speed. Destroking the pump also decreases the horsepower needed
to turn the pump.
The fan will operate at a minimum speed of 400 ± 50 rpm with the following temperatures:
- Engine coolant temperature is below 92° C (198° F)
- Intake manifold air temperature is below 49° C (120° F)
- Hydraulic oil temperature is below 87° C (189° F)
If a fan solenoid failure occurs, the fan goes to maximum (100%) speed.

In this illustration, the fan motor is being driven by the cooling fan.
During normal operation, oil pressure at the fan motor inlet is higher than oil pressure at the fan
motor outlet. The higher inlet pressure seats the makeup valve.
When the engine is decelerated rapidly from HIGH IDLE, the inertia of the fan keeps the fan
drive motor turning faster than the fan drive pump can supply oil. The oil pressure at the fan
motor inlet becomes lower than the oil pressure at the fan motor outlet. The higher outlet pres-
sure opens the makeup valve and allows oil from the motor outlet to flow to the inlet. The
combination of oil flow through the makeup valve and the pump oil flow prevents cavitation of
the fan motor.
When pump output matches the fan speed, the motor inlet oil pressure increases above the
motor outlet oil pressure. The higher inlet pressure closes the makeup valve.

The steering pump draws oil from the tank and sends oil to the following locations:
The steering control valve directs oil to the steering cylinders. The steering cylinders extend
and retract to steer the machine.
The back-up relief valve limits steering system pressure as a back-up to the pump pressure
cut-off spool.
The secondary steering diverter valve directs secondary steering pump oil to the tank when the
main steering pump is providing oil flow to the steering system. The diverter valve directs
secondary steering pump oil to the steering control valve when the machine is traveling and the
main steering pump fails or the engine fails.

The selector and pressure control valve reduces steering system pressure that is monitored by
the steering pressure switch. If steering system pressure decreases to approximately
700 ± 100 kPa (100 ± 15 psi), the switch sends a signal to the VIMS, which illuminates an
indicator lamp in the cab to alert the operator.
The pressure reducing valve directs steering pump oil to the pilot circuit if a shortage of pilot
system oil occurs.
The axle oil cooling/pilot pump draws oil from the tank and sends oil to the sequence valve and
the diverter manifold. Pilot oil pressure opens the sequence valve and pilot oil flows through
the pilot oil filter to the STIC pilot valve.
When the STIC lever is moved, pilot oil is sent through the respective neutralizer valve and
dual check valves to the steering control valve.
When the engine is running and the steering system is in HOLD, pilot oil is blocked at the
STIC pilot valve. Oil from the main steering pump flows to the steering control valve. The
control valve spool blocks oil flow to the steering cylinders and no load signal is generated.

The steering control valve is located below the cab on the left frame rail. The control valve
directs steering system oil to the steering cylinders and sends signal oil through the ball
resolver to the compensator valve on the steering pump.
The back-up relief valve (1) limits the maximum steering system pressure if the high pressure
cutoff fails in the pump compensator valve. The crossover relief valve (2) limits oil pressure in
the steering cylinders due to an external force on the machine. The pressure reducing valve (3)
reduces the steering system pressure for backup pilot pressure if there is a loss of pilot oil pres-
sure from the axle oil cooling/pilot pump.
If the machine is equipped with the optional secondary steering system, the steering control
valve will also contain a secondary relief valve (not visible) and a diverter valve (4). The sec-
ondary relief valve limits oil pressure in the secondary oil circuit. The diverter valve directs oil
from the secondary steering pump to the steering control valve when there is a loss of main
steering system pressure. The diverter valve sends secondary pump oil flow to the tank when
main steering system pressure is present.

Shown is a schematic and sectional view of the steering pump and compensator valve group.
The pump has two actuator pistons which work together to continually adjust the angle of the
swashplate. The small actuator piston, assisted by the bias spring, is used to upstroke the pump.
The large actuator piston is used to destroke the pump.
The compensator valve group consists of a flow compensator (margin) spool and a pressure
compensator (cutoff) spool. The valve group keeps the pump flow and pressure at a level need-
ed to fulfill the demands of the steering system.
The margin compensator spring maintains the pump supply pressure at 2100 ± 105 kPa
(305 ± 15 psi) above the signal pressure. The pressure compensator spring limits the system
pressure to 31000 ± 700 kPa (4500 ± 100 psi).
When the engine is OFF, the bias spring moves the swashplate to maximum angle.

At machine start-up, the bias spring holds the swashplate at maximum angle. When the steer-
ing control valve is in the HOLD position, pump flow is blocked at the steering control valve
and no signal pressure is generated. As the pump produces flow, the system pressure begins to
increase. This pressure is felt at the lower end of both the flow compensator spool and the
pressure compensator spool. The flow compensator spool moves up against spring force and
permits system oil to go to the large actuator piston. The oil pressure at the large actuator pis-
ton overcomes the combined force of the bias spring and system oil pressure at the small actua-
tor piston.
The large actuator piston moves the swashplate to the LOW PRESSURE STANDBY position.
In LOW PRESSURE STANDBY, the pump produces enough flow to compensate for system
leakage at sufficient pressure to provide instantaneous response when the steering control valve
is moved.

During a turn, signal pressure at the steering control valve increases. This increased pressure
causes the force (flow compensator valve spring plus oil pressure) at the right end of the flow
compensator spool to become greater than the pump supply pressure at the at the left end of the
spool.
The increased pressure at the right end of the flow compensator spool causes the spool to shift
left. The spool reduces or blocks pump output oil flow to the large actuator, and opens a pas-
sage to drain. Reducing or blocking oil flow to the large actuator reduces or eliminates the
pressure acting against the large actuator piston. When the pressure in the large actuator piston
decreases, the bias spring and small actuator move the swashplate to an increased angle causing
the pump to UPSTROKE.

When the load on the steering system decreases, signal oil pressure at the right end of the flow
compensator valve decreases. This decreased pressure causes the force (flow compensator
valve spring plus oil pressure) at the right end of the flow compensator spool to decrease below
the pump supply pressure at the left end of the spool. The decreased pressure at the right end
of the flow compensator spool causes the spool to shift and allows more flow to the large actua-
tor causing the pressure in the large actuator piston to increase. The increased pressure in the
large actuator piston overcomes the combined force of the small actuator and bias spring and
moves the swashplate to a reduced angle.
As pump flow decreases, supply pressure also decreases. When the supply pressure decreases
and equals the sum of the oil pressure at the right end of the flow compensator spool and spring
force, the flow compensator spool moves to a metering position and the system stabilizes.

The pressure compensator spool limits the maximum system pressure for any given pump dis-
placement. The pressure compensator spool is held in the left position during normal operation
by spring force.
When steering hydraulic system pressure is at maximum, pump supply pressure increases and
the pressure compensator spool moves right against spring force. The pressure cutoff spool
blocks oil in the large actuator piston from returning to the tank and allows supply oil to go to
the large actuator piston.
The increase in pressure allows the large actuator piston to overcome the combined force of the
small actuator piston and bias spring to destroke the pump. The pump is now at minimum flow
and system pressure is at maximum.
This feature eliminates the need for a main relief valve in the steering hydraulic system.
Maximum system pressure is adjusted by turning the pressure compensator adjustment screw.

cooling/pilot pump to the supply passage.
When the STIC lever is in the NO TURN (centered) position, return spring force keeps the pilot
valve assemblies in the centered position and pilot oil is blocked by both pilot stems. The pilot
oil ports at the bottom of the valve assemblies are open to drain and no pilot oil is sent to the

When the operator moves the STIC lever to the left (as shown), the cam follower linkage
depresses the left port plunger and regulating spring. The increased force on the regulating
spring pushes the left pilot stem down and opens a passage through the pilot stem from the pilot
oil passage to the left pilot (signal) port.
The pilot stem meters the pilot oil from the supply passage to the pilot port. This metering con-
trols the oil flow to the steering control valve. The oil flow is determined by the force of the
regulating spring, which depends on the distance the plunger is depressed. The amount the
plunger is depressed is controlled by how far the STIC lever is moved.
As the STIC lever moves to the left, the right port plunger moves up with the linkage as the
pivot plate rotates. However, the right pilot stem remains in position. The right pilot stem
lands are open to the drain passage, providing a path for return oil from the opposite end of the
steering control valve.
When a RIGHT TURN is made, the right port plunger is depressed and the right pilot stem
meters pilot oil to the steering control valve.

With no pilot oil present at the ends of the steering control valve spool, centering springs keep
the spool in the center position. As the spool returns to the center position, pilot oil present at

When the STIC lever is moved to the LEFT TURN position, pilot oil flows from the pilot con-

When the spool moves to the left, oil in the supply oil passage flows past the spool to the left
turn port. Oil flows to the head end of the right steering cylinder and to the rod end of the left
steering cylinder.
Oil from the head end of the left steering cylinder and oil from the rod end of the right steering
cylinder flows into the right turn port and to the tank. The machine articulates to the left.
When the STIC steering control lever is released, pilot oil is blocked at the pilot valve. Oil
pressure present at the right end of the steering control valve spool flows through an orifice to
the hydraulic tank. Spring force causes the spool to return to the center position.
With the STIC lever in the HOLD (center) position, the steering control valve spool blocks oil
flow to the steering cylinders, which keeps the machine in the LEFT TURN position.

If an outside force tries to turn the machine with the steering control valve spool in the center
position, oil pressure in the steering cylinders will increase. This pressure increase opens the
steering cylinder crossover relief valve.
When the steering control valve is in the RIGHT TURN position, the steering control valve
moves to the right and directs oil to the right turn port.
NOTE: If the machine is turned while moving, the machine will continue to move in
the same direction as the last selected travel position of the STIC lever. When the STIC
lever is released, the machine will not return to the STRAIGHT AHEAD travel position.
If the pilot pump fails, steering pump oil pressure is directed through the pressure
reducing valve and a pilot check valve to the pilot valve. The pressure reducing valve
reduces pump pressure to less than pilot pressure.

Oil flows to the rod end of the right steering cylinder and to the head end of the left steering

As pressure increases in the steering cylinders, an increase in signal pressure is sensed at the
pump compensator valve. This increase in signal pressure causes the pump to upstroke, which
increases pump oil flow as previously described.

Shown is a schematic of the steering system with the engine off and the machine moving.
When the engine is off, no oil flows from the pilot pump and the primary steering pump. The
steering system oil is supplied by the secondary steering system. The secondary steering sys-
tem consists of the secondary pump, the secondary relief valve, the diverter valve, and the
check valve.
When the machine is moving, the output transfer gear turns the secondary pump. Secondary
pump oil flows through the diverter valve and the check valve to the steering control valve.
Secondary pump oil also flows through the pressure reducing valve and the check valve to the
pilot control valve.
When the operator moves the steer lever, secondary pump oil is used to steer the machine.
NOTE: The secondary steering pump does not produce the same amount of flow as the
main steering system pump. Secondary steering operations are reduced compared to
normal operation. Secondary steering provides a method to steer the machine to a safe
location if a failure occurs in the primary steering system or in the engine.

When the brake system pressure increases to 13790 ± 345 kPa (2000 ± 50 psi), the pressure of
the oil in the chamber is high enough to move the spool against the spring. Movement of the

moves the control piston against the spring. This movement decreases the angle of the swash-
plate, the stroke of the pistons, and the displacement of the pump. The amount of oil per pump

The service brake valve (arrow) is located below the right brake pedal. The left and right brake

The hydraulically engaged, multiple disc service brakes are located between the planetaries and
the differential at each axle. Each brake contains a piston, discs, and plates. When either brake
pedal is DEPRESSED, pressure oil moves the piston which compresses the discs against the
plates. The friction between the discs and plates causes the wheels to turn slower or to stop.
The heat from brake friction is removed by the oil in the differential housing.

When the brake pedal is RELEASED (left view), the oil passages from the accumulators to the
brakes are closed, and the passages from the brakes to the tank are opened. Oil in the rear and
front service brakes flows through the respective brake spools to the tank. Spring force at the
bottom of the lower brake spool moves the brake spools up.
When the operator depresses either brake pedal (right view), the upper spring moves the two
brake spools down. The brake spools close the passages to the tank and open the passages from
the two accumulators. The oil from the rear accumulator flows through the rear brake spool to
ENGAGE the rear service brakes and to fill the chamber between the rear brake spool and the
front brake spool. The oil from the front brake accumulator flows through the front brake spool
to ENGAGE the front service brakes and to fill the chamber at the bottom of the front spool.
The pressure at the bottom of the front brake spool and the force of the spring move the front
brake spool up against the pressure in the chamber between the rear brake spool and the front
brake spool. The pressure in the chamber between the rear brake spool and the front brake
spool moves the rear brake spool up against the force on the brake pedal.
The force at the bottom of each brake spool balances that brake spool against the force at the
top of the brake spool. Each brake spool acts as a pressure reducing valve to limit the pressure
in the brakes proportionally to the force at the top of the respective brake spool.

The spring engaged, hydraulically released, multiple disc parking brake is bolted to the output
transfer gear case. The brake discs are are splined to the hub, which turns with the driveshafts.
The plates are splined to the park brake housing which is held with bolts (1) that are anchored
to the bearing cage (2).
When the parking brake is RELEASED, brake system oil acts against the the piston which
moves a plate (3) outward against spring force. With spring force removed, the discs, the hub,
and the driveshafts are allowed to rotate.
When the parking brake is ENGAGED, brake system oil in the parking brake flows to the tank.
Spring force moves the non-rotating plates against the turning discs which are splined to the
hub. The friction between the discs and plates causes the hub to stop.
If the brake pump fails or hydraulic oil flow stops, the parking brake can be manually released
to move the machine. To release the parking brake, brake release bolts (4) are installed in the
three holes (5). The bolts are tightened, which forces the plate outward against spring force.
With spring force removed, the discs, the hub, and the front drive shaft are allowed to rotate.
When not in use, the bolts are stored in the location shown in this view.

When the accumulator oil pressure decreases below 13790 ± 345 kPa (2000 ± 50 psi), the brake
pump begins to upstroke and the shuttle valve enters the CUT-IN mode. In the CUT-IN mode,
the combined force of the accumulator pressure and spring acting on each outer side of the
inverse shuttle valve is less than the high pressure in the center of the inverse shuttle valve.
The center pressure moves the two halves of the inverse shuttle valve outward. This movement
allows oil to flow from the brake pump to the accumulators.
When the brake pump is connected to the accumulators, the pressure decreases between the
inverse shuttle valve and the check valve. Pump oil flows to the accumulators until the accu-
mulator pressure and the pressure at the inverse shuttle valve reach the
13790 ± 345 kPa (2000 ± 50 psi) CUTOUT pressure. When the CUT-OUT pressure is reached,
the pump destrokes.

02/09 Steering and Brakes
By depressing either the right or the left brake pedal, the service brakes are ENGAGED. The
movement of the brake pedal is mechanically transmitted to the service brake valve, which per-
mits oil to flow through the service brake valve to the rear and front service brakes.
If the machine loses power or if the hydraulic pump fails, the service brakes can still be
ENGAGED. The pressure in the accumulators permits several applications of the service
brakes to stop the machine or slow the machine enough to engage the parking brake.
When the right brake pedal is depressed the stop lamp switch is closed, which illuminates the
stop lamps on the back of the machine. Also, when the right brake pedal is depressed, the right
hand brake pedal switch signals the Engine ECM to disable the throttle lock function. The
Engine ECM sends the switch position data over the Cat Data Link to the Power Train ECM.
When the left brake pedal is depressed, a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal is sent from
the left brake pedal position sensor to the Power Train ECM. The ECM processes the signal
and sends an output signal to the impeller clutch solenoid, which decreases impeller clutch
pressure. As the pedal is depressed further, oil pressure to the impeller clutch continues to
decrease. When the pedal has been depressed approximately 10 degrees, a mechanical linkage
from the left brake pedal to the tandem brake valve causes the service brakes to engage.

The check valve prevents the high pressure oil in the passages to the inverse shuttle valve from
flowing back to the brake pump.
The inverse shuttle valve will remain in the CUT-OUT mode until the pressure in one of the
accumulators decreases to the CUT-IN pressure of 13790 ± 345 kPa (2000 ± 50 psi).

This schematic shows the brake system with the parking brake RELEASED.
Pressure oil flows from the brake pump to the inverse shuttle valve. The inverse shuttle valve
allows oil to flow to the rear and front brake accumulators and to the tandem brake valve. Part
of the oil that is sent to the rear brake accumulator also flows to the parking brake valve.
In the RELEASED position, the pressure oil flows past the parking brake valve to the parking
brake actuator. The oil in the parking brake actuator acts against the spring force that keeps the
parking brake ENGAGED. When the pressure of the oil overcomes the force of the spring, the
parking brake is RELEASED.
During a normal application, the parking brake will remain RELEASED until the flow of oil is
blocked at the parking brake valve or the supply pressure from the brake accumulator charging
valve decreases below 6050 ± 515 kPa (875 ± 75 psi).
If supply pressure from the brake accumulator charging valve decreases below 6050 ± 515 kPa
(875 ± 75 psi), spring force in the right end of the parking brake valve will shift the valve to the
left. When the parking brake valve shifts to the left, oil in the parking brake valve is allowed to
flow to the tank and spring force engages the parking brake.

Shown is a schematic of the front and rear axle cooling systems. Each axle cooling system
cools the oil in the respective axle. The axle cooling/pilot pump provides oil to rotate the axle
oil cooling motor. The axle oil cooling motor drives the axle oil cooling pumps. The front and
rear axle cooling pumps circulate the oil through the oil coolers.
When the operator applies the service brakes, friction generates heat in the brake plates and
discs. Also, heavy loads generate heat in the differential. The cooling pumps pull the high tem-
perature oil from the differential case and send the oil to the oil coolers. The oil coolers remove
the heat and return the oil to the axles. The cooler oil enters the axles at each end of the differ-
ential case.
When the oil is cold, the high resistance to flow through the cooler causes the pump pressure to
increase. When the pump pressure increases to the oil filter bypass valves open allowing cold
oil to bypass the axle oil filters.

The VIMS ECM monitors the axle oil temperature through the front and rear axle oil tempera-
ture sensors. The bypass solenoid valve is controlled by the Power Train ECM. When the axle
oil temperature is below 30° C (86° F), the solenoid is energized by the Power Train ECM.
When ENERGIZED, the diverter solenoid valve directs oil from the axle oil cooling/pilot pump
to the right side of the diverter valve. The diverter valve moves to the left and axle oil cool-
ing/pilot pump oil is diverted to the steering pilot system. The axle oil cooling motor is
bypassed, which prevents oil from circulating through the axles at machine start-up.

When the axle oil temperature increases above 35° C (95° F) the solenoid is de-energized by
the Power Train ECM and the axle oil cooling motor drives the axle oil cooling pumps.
When the axle oil temperature is above 35° C (95° F), the axle oil flows from the axle cooling
pumps to the thermal bypass valves. When the axle oil temperature is above 35° C (95° F) but
below 60° C (140° F), spring force moves the thermal bypass valve up and the axle cooling
pump oil bypasses the axle oil coolers.
When the axle oil temperature increases above 60° C (140° F), the thermal bypass valve begins
to move down against spring force and some of the axle cooling pump oil is directed to the axle
oil coolers.
When the axle oil temperature increases above 74° C (165° F), the thermal bypass valve moves
all the way down against spring force and all of the axle cooling pump oil is directed to the axle
oil coolers.
