CID 701 Procedure TOS Sensor

NOTE: In addition to this procedure the circuit for the transmission output speed (TOS) sensor can
be checked by monitoring the TOS indicator of the display. Indicator ON = valid speed signal,
machine moving. Indicator OFF = no speed signal, machine stopped. Also, when in the TOS monitor
mode, the signal from the TOS sensor is converted to RPM and shown on the display; see the subject
Mode 7 - TOS Monitor Mode.

Service Notes: If a sensor supply fault is present (CID 269), correct it prior to troubleshooting this
fault (CID 701, FMI F02). The machine must be operating in second gear or higher in order for
EPTC II to show this fault as being present (fault present indicator is ON). Ensure that the CID 701
FMI F02 fault is on-hold.

FMI F02

This fault is recorded when EPTC II reads the TOS sensor signal (wire 710-GN) as not valid
(incorrect).

The results of this fault condition are:

a. The transmission does not shift above first gear.

b. The lockup clutch drops out.

The possible causes of this fault are:

a. Machine harness is open or shorted between EPTC II and the TOS sensor.

b. TOS sensor is not installed correctly.

c. TOS sensor is faulty.

d. EPTC II is faulty.

1. REPLACE SENSOR - Replace the sensor; see the subject TOS Sensor Replacement. After
replacement, clear the CID 701 FMI F02 from EPTC II. Operate the machine in second gear or
higher for a brief period of time. Stop the machine. Check the diagnostics to see if the CID 701 FMI
F02 fault has reoccurred.

· A CID 701 FMI F02 fault has not been recorded; indicates the fault is no longer present. The
replaced sensor was faulty.

· A CID 701 FMI F02 fault has been recorded; indicates the fault remains present. The replaced
sensor was not the cause of the defect. Wire 710-GN is shorted, open or EPTC II is faulty. Go to
Step 2.

· Fault present indicator is OFF; indicates the fault is no longer present. The replaced sensor was
faulty.

· Fault present indicator is ON; indicates the fault remains present. The replaced sensor was not the
cause of the defect. Wire 710-GN is shorted, open or EPTC II is faulty. Go to Step 2.

2. CHECK FOR SHORT TO GROUND - Turn the disconnect and key start switches to the OFF
position. Disconnect the machine harness from EPTC II and the TOS sensor. At the machine harness
connector for the sensor, measure the resistance between contact C (wire 710-GN) and frame
ground.

· Resistance is less than 5000 Ω; the machine harness is faulty. Wire 710-GN is shorted or has
leakage in the machine harness between the sensor and EPTC II. Repair or replace the machine
harness.

· Resistance is greater than 5000 Ω; harness circuit resistance for wire 710-GN is correct. Wire 710-
GN is shorted to +battery, open or EPTC II is faulty. Go to Step 3.

3. CHECK FOR SHORTED HARNESS - The TOS sensor remains disconnected from the machine
harness. Connect the machine harness to EPTC II. Turn the disconnect and key start switches to the
ON position. At the machine harness connector for the sensor, measure the DC voltage between
contact C (wire 710-GN) and contact B (wire 202-BK).

· DC voltage is present; the machine harness is faulty. In the machine harness, wire 710-GN is
shorted to a +battery source between the sensor and EPTC II. Repair or replace the machine harness.

· DC voltage is NOT present; the voltage is correct. Wire 710-GN is open or EPTC II is faulty. Go
to Step 4.

4. CHECK FOR OPEN HARNESS - The TOS sensor remains disconnected from the machine
harness. Turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the machine harness from
EPTC II. At the machine harness connector for the sensor, place a jumper from contact B to contact
C. At the machine harness connector for EPTC II, measure the resistance between contact A10 and
frame ground.

· Resistance is greater than 5.0 Ω; the machine harness is faulty. Wire 710-GN is open between the
sensor and EPTC II. Repair or replace the machine harness.

· Resistance is 5.0 Ω or less; harness circuit resistance is correct. It is unlikely that EPTC II is faulty.
Perform the previous Steps again. If the cause is not found, replace EPTC II; see the subject EPTC II
Replacement.
