Diagnostic and Calibration Modes

Before carrying out some diagnostic tests, set the DECU to the applicable diagnostic mode.

Four diagnostic modes are available.

• Test Run Mode automatically sets the power control to H power band engine rpm and the pump control solenoid
current to a fixed value. This mode is intended to enable hydraulic test results, such as cycle times, to be
compared against normal values.
• Pressure Switch Status Mode enables live monitoring of all the hydraulic pressure switches on the machine. The
pressure switch status is shown graphically on the DECU LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Use this mode when fault
finding systems that use inputs from pressure switches.
• Fan Test Mode (if applicable) automatically selects the H+ power band and drives the cooling fan at 70% of its
maximum speed. Use this mode to confirm correct operation of the cooling fan.
• Power Band Input Status Mode displays the machine control values set by the hand throttle control.

Two calibration modes are available.

• Throttle Actuator Calibration Mode

• No Load Throttle Calibration Mode

The DECU LCD can be also be set to display the status of the following parameters.

• Battery voltage
• Alternator voltage
• Coolant temperature
• Hydraulic oil temperature
• Fuel remaining

Selecting the Diagnostic and Calibration Mode Screen

1. Use the controls on the DECU to select the machine Figure 1. Machine status information screen
status information screen.

1.1. The machine status information screen shows

engine RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), engine
hours, timer and One touch/Auto idle status.
Also, it shows eco, Power and Power+ bands on
the spot point power band frame based on the
engine RPM.

1. Start the engine and enable the hydraulic controls.

Select the diagnostic mode screen and then select the
test run mode symbol. The test run mode status screen
displays.
2. The test run mode will not enable unless the hydraulic
controls are enabled and the hydraulic oil temperature is
within the correct range. If necessary operate the
machine until the hydraulic oil temperature is within the
specified values.
Temperature: 50 –85 °C ( 121.9 –184.9 °F)

3. To exit the test run mode press the back button or home
button. Disabling the hydraulic controls or switching off
the engine will also exit the test run mode. The test run
mode will automatically exit on one of the following
events.

3.1. A fault is active.

3.2. Operator notifications are generated.

Pressure Switch Status Mode

To select the pressure switch status mode, proceed as follows.

1. Start the engine and enable the hydraulic controls.

2. Select the diagnostic mode screen and then select the
pressure switch status mode symbol. The pressure
switch status screen displays the applicable pressure
switch symbols.

2.1. When a symbol on the status screen is grey, the

applicable pressure switch is not active.

2.2. When a symbol on the status screen is green, the
applicable pressure switch is active.

3. To exit the pressure switch status mode press the back

or home button. Disabling the hydraulic controls or
switching off the engine will also exit the pressure switch
status mode. The pressure switch status menu will
automatically exit on one of the following events.

3.1. A fault is active.

3.2. Operator notifications are generated.

Throttle Actuator Calibration Mode

If the target engine speed and the actual engine speed do not match, or is not achievable then the throttle actuator may
need to be re-calibrated. The linear actuator can be cycled from idle to its maximum stroke by a CAN (Controller Area
Network) message.

To activate throttle actuator calibration, proceed as follows.

1. Switch on the ignition. Do not start the engine.

2. Select the diagnostic mode screen and then select the
throttle calibration mode symbol.

No Load Throttle Calibration Mode

This calibration mode enables the DECU to record the throttle actuator position for no load engine speeds.

Before attempting no load throttle calibration, calibrate the throttle actuator. The DECU will not enter the no load throttle
calibration mode if there is no valid throttle actuator calibration data.

To activate no load throttle calibration, proceed as follows.

1. Start the engine and isolate the hydraulic controls.
