PTH 523590.16 – Machine Drive Forward Pedal Data Valid but Above Normal Operating Range – Moderately Severe Level
PTH 523590.16 (PTH )
Code: 523590.16
Shortcode:
Description:
This fault code indicates that the forward pedal sensor values are out of range high when the pedal is fully depressed. This can be due to sensor malfunctions, wiring issues, or calibration errors.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the equipment may experience improper or erratic forward pedal response, affecting driving behavior and performance. The system logs the fault and may limit forward motion to prevent damage.
Recommendations:
Inspect Forward Pedal Sensor (B11):
- Check the forward pedal sensor for proper operation.
- Ensure the sensor is not damaged and is functioning correctly.
- Verify all electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion.
Test Power Train Hydrostatic Control Unit (PTH):
- Perform diagnostic tests on the PTH control unit to identify any faults.
- Ensure all electrical connections to the control unit are secure and free from corrosion.
Check Wiring and Connections:
- Inspect the wiring harness connected to the forward pedal sensor for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections.
- Repair or replace any damaged wiring as necessary.
Update Control Software:
- Ensure the control unit software is up-to-date with the latest fixes and improvements.
Consult Technical Support:
- If the issue persists, contact technical support for further diagnostics and assistance.
Monitor System Performance:
- After addressing the issue, monitor the forward pedal system to ensure normal operation and that the fault does not reappear.
Note:
Regular inspection and maintenance of the forward pedal sensor and associated wiring can prevent this fault. Consider environmental factors such as moisture or corrosion that can impact sensor performance.
