HANDLING ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS
To maintain the performance of the machine over a long period, and to prevent failures or
other troubles before they occur, correct “operation”, “maintenance and inspection”,
“troubleshooting”, and “repairs” must be carried out.
1. Handling wiring harnesses and connectors
Wiring harnesses consist of wiring connecting one component to another component,
connectors used for connecting and disconnecting one wire from another wire, and protectors
or caps used for protecting the wiring. Compared with other electrical components fitted in
boxes or cases, wiring harnesses are more likely to be affected by the direct effects of rain,
water, heat, or vibration. Furthermore, during inspection and repair operations, they are
frequently removed and installed again, so they are likely to suffer deformation or damage. For
this reason, it is necessary to be extremely careful when handling wiring harnesses.
2. Main failures occurring in wiring harness
• Defective contact of connectors (defective contact between male and female)
Problems with defective contact are likely to occur because the male connector is not
properly inserted into the female connector, or because one or both of the connectors is
deformed or the position is not correctly aligned, or because there is corrosion or
oxidization of the contact surfaces. The corroded or oxidized contact surfaces may become
shiny again (and contact may become normal) by connecting and disconnecting the
connector about 10 times.
• Defective crimping or soldering of connectors
The pins of the male and female connectors are in contact at the crimped terminal or
soldered portion, but if there is excessive force brought to bear on the wiring, the plating at
the joint will peel and cause improper connection or breakage.
• Disconnections in wiring
If the wiring is held and the connectors are pulled apart, or components are lifted with a
crane with the wiring still connected, or a heavy object hits the wiring, the crimping of the
connector may separate, or the soldering may be damaged, or the wiring may be broken.
• High‐pressure water entering connector
The connector is designed to make it difficult for water to enter (drip‐proof structure), but if
high‐pressure water is sprayed directly on the connector, water may enter the connector,
depending on the direction of the water jet. Accordingly, take care not to splash water over
the connector. The connector is designed to prevent water from entering, but at the same
time, if water does enter, it is difficult for it to be drained. Therefore, if water should get
into the connector, the pins will be short‐circuited by the water, so if any water gets in,
immediately dry the connector or take other appropriate action before passing electricity
through it.
• Oil or dirt stuck to connector
* If oil or grease are stuck to the connector and an oil film is formed on the mating
surface between the male and female pins, the oil will not let the electricity pass,
so there will be defective contact. If there is oil or grease stuck to the connector,
wipe it off with a dry cloth or blow it dry with compressed air and spray it with a
contact restorer.
* When wiping the mating portion of the connector, be careful not to use
excessive force or deform the pins. a If there is oil or water in the compressed
air, the contacts will become even dirtier, so remove the oil and water from the
compressed air completely before cleaning with compressed air.
3. Removing, installing, and drying connectors and wiring harnesses
DISCONNECTING CONNECTORS
• Hold the connectors when disconnecting :
When disconnecting the connectors, hold the connectors. For connectors held by a
screw, loosen the screw fully, then hold the male and female connectors in each hand
and pull apart. For connectors which have a lock stopper, press down the stopper with
your thumb and pull the connectors apart. Never pull with one hand.
• Action to take after removing connectors:
After removing any connector, cover it with a vinyl bag to prevent any dust, dirt, oil, or
water from getting in the connector portion.
* If the machine is left disassembled for a long time, it is particularly easy for improper
contact to occur, so always cover the connector.
CONNECTING CONNECTORS:
• Check the connector visually:
Check that there is no oil, dirt, or water stuck to the connector pins (mating portion).
Check that there is no deformation, defective contact, corrosion, or damage to the
connector pins.
Check that there is no damage or breakage to the outside of the connector.
* If there is any oil, water, or dirt stuck to the connector, wipe it off with a dry cloth. If
any water has got inside the connector, warm the inside of the wiring with a dryer, but
be careful not to make it too hot as this will cause short circuits.
* If there is any damage or breakage, replace the connector.
• Fix the connector securely:
Align the position of the connector correctly, and then insert it securely. For connectors
with the lock stopper, push in the connector until the stopper clicks into position.
• Correct any protrusion of the boot and any misalignment of the wiring harness:
For connectors fitted with boots, correct any protrusion of the boot. In addition, if the
wiring harness is misaligned, or the clamp is out of position, adjust it to its correct
position.
* If the connector cannot be corrected easily, remove the clamp and adjust the position.
* If the connector clamp has been removed, be sure to return it to its original position.
Check also that there are no loose clamps.
• Drying wiring harness
If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring harness, wipe it off with a dry cloth. Avoid washing
it in water or using steam. If the connector must be washed in water, do not use high‐
pressure water or steam directly on the wiring harness. If water gets directly on the
connector, do as follows.
1] Disconnect the connector and wipe off the water with a dry cloth.
* If the connector is blown dry with compressed air, there is the risk that oil in the air
may cause defective contact, so remove all oil and water from the compressed air
before blowing with air.
2] Dry the inside of the connector with a dryer.
If water gets inside the connector, use
* Dryer to dry the connector.
* Hot air from the dryer can be used, but regulate the time that the hot air is used in
order not to make the connector or related parts too hot, as this will cause
deformation or damage to the connector.
• Carry out a continuity test on the connector.
After drying, leave the wiring harness disconnected and carry out a continuity test to
check for any short Circuits between pins caused by water.
* After completely drying the connector, blow it with contact restorer and reassemble.
The properly trained persons are to be engaged for dismantling of wire harness during
dispatch of equipments and also commissioning of equipments at customer site.
EMERGENCY STEERING SYSTEM
The emergency steering system is supplementary steering system, to operate the steering
system in case of failure/malfunctioning of steering pump/Engine while equipment is in moving
condition.
The emergency steering system is consists of electrically operated DC motor to drive the pump
to provide the required flow to steering system.
Manually operated Emergency steering system: The operator has to press the switch to operate
Motor and pump incase of failure of steering system.
A switch mounted on the console next to the operator can be used to activate the emergency
steering system if necessary to steer the truck when the engine is not operable. Use of the
emergency steering system should be limited to a maximum of 90 seconds.
In order to avoid the Motor failure due to inadvertent operations, the ON delay timer is being
provided to cut‐off power to Motor after 90 seconds. Details are as follows.
ON delay TIMER : The ON delay timer allows the Motor to operate for 90 seconds and switches
off after 90 seconds. If operator wants to operate the Motor for More than 90 seconds, the
Steering switch mounted on the dash board to be operated.
The emergency steering system is a safety system and it is a mandatory requirement of DGMS.
The system should be checked daily to ensure the proper functioning of system. The procedure
for checking emergency steering system as follows.
MANUAL EMERGENCY STEERING SYSTEM :
1. Turn the starting switch key to the ON position
2. Start engine and run for one minute.
3. Switch of the engine and switch ‘ON’ emergency steering switch, and check that the
steering wheel can be operated for 10 seconds.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES:
The object of preventive maintenance is to identify and correct potential problems before they
occur.
WIRES AND CABLES:
For any type of vehicle electrical system, it‘s important to keep all connection Points clean.
Road dirt and grease create resistance that interferes with electrical current flow. In order to
get the necessary power from a unit, there must be little or no resistance between the batteries
and the motor. In the same vein, you need to make sure that wires and cables are clean,
properly tightened, and of the proper size. Any loss of current due to poor connections will
reduce power to motor.
Clean all connections on a periodic basis. Also check for tension on terminals due to improper
routing.
BATTERY :
A battery having a low / poor state of charge will place abnormal stresses on the system. When
measuring battery voltage, make sure voltage is 24V or greater.
EXCESSIVE HEAT:
A motor can become damaged if it operates too long at high temperatures. Excessive heat is
generally due to continuous engagement of the Motor. Damage to Motor system components
can occur when the motor is operated for long periods. Motor should not be operated for more
than 90 seconds and allow Motor to cool down for 3 minutes after operation.
CORROSION, DIRT AND DUST : The Motor operates less efficiently when corrosion forms or
dirt particles build up around wire and cable connection points. Corroded and dirty connection
points impair the flow of electrical current. Clean all connections on a periodic basis.
Timely preventive maintenance of the system provides smoother operation and long life for
Motor and pump components.
Precautions for
Welding on Machines with Electronic
Controls
As with all machines with Electronic Controls, special care should be taken when welding on the
machine. Here are some tips to keep in mind when performing welding on the Dump truck and
Motor Graders. For additional details, review the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
General Warnings & Tips –
• Always wear proper personal protective equipment.
• Before welding around electronics, Remove the electronics in that area to reduce or
eliminate heat damage caused by the welding process. Remove the controller unit if
welding is to be done within 10” of it.
• Lock‐out and Tag‐out the machine.
• Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the component that will be welded and
place the clamp as close to the weld as possible. Attach the welder ground cable no
more than 2 feet from the part being welded. If grounding cable is connected near
instruments, connectors, etc., the instruments may malfunction.
• Do not use electrical components (ECM or ECM Sensors) or electrical component
grounding points for grounding the welder.
• Do not weld in wet areas or in the rain.
• Always weld in a well ventilated area.
• Keep your work area clear of anything flammable
• Do not use cables that are frayed, cracked or have bare spots in the insulation
• Never connect the ground cable of the welder to the ECM. Welding on the engine or
engine mounted components is not recommended.
• Do not apply more than 200 V continuously.
• Always avoid laying welding cables over or near the vehicle electrical harnesses.
Welding voltage could be induced into the electrical harness and possibly cause damage
to components.
• Always fasten the welding machine ground (‐) lead to the piece being welded.
Welding instructions:
a) Turn off the Ignition switch.
b) Turn –off Battery disconnect switch
c) Remove Both positive(+) and the negative (‐) terminal of the battery to stop the flow of
current when carrying out electrical welding.
d) Before welding on truck, be certain that each of these components are completely
disconnected:
e) • Transmission and brake Controllers
• Engine ECM
• Batteries
f) Cover all electronic controllers for protection from sparks.
g) Engine must never be used as a grounding point.
h) Ensure the connection of automatic CAN grounding circuits for protection of CAN bus
lines. If it is not connected/provided, all CAN bus lines are to be disconnected from the
controller(Engine, transmission, Brake and Murphy modules) and Murphy display units.
Jump Starting and Battery Charging
i) Do not connect the jumper starting or battery charging cables to any part of the Engine
/Transmission/other ECMS.
j) When using jumper cables to start the engine, make sure to connect the cables in
parallel: Positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (‐) to negative (‐).
k) When using an external electrical source to start the engine, turn the disconnect switch
to the “OFF” position before connecting the cables to the battery.
l) Do not exceed 36 volts. Remove the key from the key switch before attaching jumper
cables to the battery.
m) When jump starting, make sure you choose the right size of cable for vehicle. Always
connect positive cable first and negative cable last. Disconnect the negative cable first
and reconnect it last.
Handling controller
1) The controller contains a microcomputer and electronic control circuits. These control
all of the electronic circuits on the machine, so be extremely careful when handling the
controller.
2) Do not place objects on top of the controller.
3) Cover the control connectors with tape or a vinyl bag. Never touch the connector
contacts with your hand.
4) During rainy weather, do not leave the controller in a place where it is exposed to rain.
5) Do not place the controller on oil, water, or soil, or in any hot place, even for a short
time. (Place it on a suitable dry stand).
4) Precautions when carrying out arc welding when carrying out arc welding on the body
disconnect all wiring harness connectors connected to the controller. Fit an arc welding
ground close to the welding point.
Points to remember when troubleshooting electric circuits
1) Always turn the power OFF before disconnecting or connecting connectors.
2) Before carrying out troubleshooting, check that all the related connectors are properly
inserted. Disconnect and connect the related connectors several times to check.
3) Always connect any disconnected connectors before going on to the next step. If the
power is turned ON with the connectors still disconnected, unnecessary abnormality
displays/error codes will be generated.
4) When carrying out troubleshooting of circuits (measuring the voltage, resistance,
continuity, or current), move the related wiring and connectors several times and check
that there is no change in the reading of the tester. If there is any change, there is
probably defective contact in that circuit.
