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
ntia Inc
suitable containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.
lG .
Refer to Special Publication, PERJ1017, "Dealer Service Tool
Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and
mandates.
Make sure that the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position. Stop the engine. Perform a visual inspection before you troubleshoot a problem.
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, Visual Inspection . During the visual checks, use a magnet to separate ferrous particles (iron and steel) from
nonferrous particles (aluminum, rubber, and paper).
Note: If any particles are found during any visual checks, all components of the hydraulic system and of the brake cooling system must be cleaned.
Do not use any damaged parts. Damaged parts must be replaced with new parts.

Typical Cat® Electronic Technician (Cat® ET) data log
(A) Time between charges is the time from cut out pressure (3) to cut in pressure (1), usually 25 to 45 seconds
(1) Cut-In Pressure of 14479 kPa (2100 psi) is the minimum accumulator pressure while the system is cycling
(2) Stand by Pressure of 1034 kPa (150 psi) is the lowest pressure that the pump will produce during the cycle
(B) Charge time is the time the pump is charging the accumulator, typically less than 10 seconds
(3) Cut-Out Pressure of 20684 kPa (3000 psi) is the maximum accumulator pressure while the system is cycling
The information in Illustration (1) is a data trace from a Cat® Electronic Technician (Cat® ET) data log. The data trace includes service brake
accumulator pressure, secondary brake accumulator pressure, and brake pump pressure. The combined information is a typical brake charge
cycle. The terminology in the caption helps diagnose brake system issues.

Remove oil filter (1) for the brake actuation oil. Inspect oil filters (1) for foreign material. Cut the oil filter open, if necessary.
Note: Oil filter (1) for the brake actuation oil has an oil bypass valve. The bypass valve allows the oil to bypass the oil filter elements whenever the
pressure difference between the inlet oil and the outlet oil becomes too high. Any oil that does not flow through the filter element goes directly into
the hydraulic circuit. Dirty oil can cause sticking valves and restrictions in valve orifices. Bypass switch (2) will notify the operator of a restriction.

(1) Brake oil temperature gauge
(2) Display for the Advisor
The Advisor receives signals from temperature sensors. At each of the four brakes, there is a temperature sensor that senses the temperature of
the oil. Brake oil temperature gauge (1) will display this sensor input.

(A) Temperature reading of 110°C (230°F)
(B) Temperature reading of 124°C (255°F)
Check brake oil temperature gauge (1) regularly. During this test sequence, do not allow the temperature of the brake oil to get too hot. Heat can
cause damage to the brakes.
When the oil temperature is too hot for the current conditions, Advisor (2) will alert the operator. An event will be displayed on the display for
Advisor (2). If the brake oil is too hot, reduce the load on the machine or slow the machine speed. Also, downshift the transmission to a lower
speed. For extra cooling, park the truck in a convenient location. Put the transmission in NEUTRAL, and run the engine at approximately 1500 rpm.

Operate the machine again. Make sure that engine rpm does not drop below 1700 rpm. This level ensures that enough oil flows through the brake
oil coolers to keep the oil at normal operating temperature.
Probable Cause
There is a restriction in the oil cooling system. Refer to the Braking System Testing and Adjusting, "Brake Cooling Pressure - Check". Also,
use a flow meter to determine if there is proper brake cooling oil flow.
One of the following pumps has failed: The gear pump for the hoist and for the brake cooling, the piston motor that drives the brake cooling
pump, or the brake cooling pump. Refer to this publication to check the appropriate filters or screens.
The pressure setting of the rear brake oil cooler relief valve is too low. Refer to the Braking System Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve
(Brake Oil Cooler) - Test and Adjust".
The pressure setting of the front brake oil cooler relief valve is too low. Refer to the Braking System Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve
(Brake Oil Cooler) - Test and Adjust".
Brake drag that can be caused by high command of the brake pump.

This code activates when there is a difference between the Service Brake Accumulator Pressure and the Secondary Brake Accumulator Pressure.
This code occurs when the difference in pressure exceeds 2345 kPa (340 psi) threshold, with the Brake Pump Pressure above Cut-Out, over 5
charging cycles, with the Engine running.
If this Event occurs while the Machine is in operation, perform the following tasks:
The Brake ECM should create a Data Drifted High diagnostic for either the Service Brake Accumulator Pressure Sensor or the Secondary
Brake Accumulator Pressure Sensor.
The user should then follow the troubleshooting procedure for which ever diagnostic pops up.
