Pilot Valve (Command Control Steering) Supply Pressure - Test

and Adjust
SMCS - 4342-025-PX; 4342-081-PX
Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure.
Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can
penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If
fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak.
Personal injury or death can result from machine articulation or

movement.
Machine frames can move and a person can be crushed.
Connect the steering frame lock link between the front and rear frames
before working on machine.

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during

performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair
of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.
Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service

Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Note: Use the information in the reference to prepare the machine for this test. Also, use the information
in the reference to relieve any hydraulic pressure that may be in the steering system.
Reference: For the correct procedure to relieve any hydraulic oil pressure that may be in the steering
system, refer to the Service Manual module for Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for
Troubleshooting" for the machine that is being serviced.

1. Start the engine. Position the machine so that the machine is pointing straight ahead.
2. Operate the engine at high idle. Move the tilt control lever to the TILT BACK position in order to
increase the oil to normal operating temperature. The oil is at normal operating temperature when
the hydraulic oil temperature indicator is between the first mark and the second mark.
3. After the oil has reached normal operating temperature, lower the bucket and any attachments to
the ground.
4. Stop the engine.

(2) Pressure tap for neutral pilot pressure. (3) Supply pressure for the pilot valve. (4) Adjustment screw for the
neutral pilot pressure. (5) Locknut.
7. Attach a 0 to 6000 kPa (0 to 870 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (3). Pressure tap (3) is located
on the rear side of the pilot control valve. Pressure tap (3) is supply pressure for the pilot valve.
NOTICE
Bumping or turning the steering wheel could cause excessive oil
pressure in the hydraulic oil line that connects to the pressure gauge.
The excessive oil pressure could cause damage to the pressure gauge.
Do not bump or turn the steering wheel during the following steps.
8. Attach a 0 to 1000 kPa (0 to 145 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (2). Pressure tap (2) is located
on the bottom side of the pilot control valve. Pressure tap (2) is for neutral pilot pressure.
9. Start the engine. Run the engine at high idle.
10. Record the pressure reading on the pressure gauge that is attached to pressure tap (3). The reading
should equal 3500 ± 250 kPa (500 ± 35 psi).
11. Record the pressure reading on the pressure gauge that is attached to pressure tap (2). The reading
should equal 550 ± 35 kPa (80 ± 5 psi).
12. Stop the engine.
13. If the pressure reading for pressure tap (2) is not to specifications, loosen locknut (5). Turn
adjustment screw (4) clockwise in order to increase the pressure. Turn adjustment screw (4)
counterclockwise in order to decrease the pressure.
Note: One turn of adjustment screw (4) will change neutral pilot pressure approximately 100 kPa
(15 psi).
14. Repeat Steps 9 through 13 until the correct pressure is achieved on pressure tap (2) .
15. If the pressure reading for pressure tap (3) is not to specifications, use the following reference in
order to check the pilot pressure for the implement hydraulic system.
Reference: For the correct procedure to check the pilot pressure for the implement hydraulic
system, refer to the Service Manual module for Testing and Adjusting, "Pilot System Pressure -
Test" for the machine that is being serviced.
