Troubleshooting with help of

the APC200
 Failure codes
The APC controller has a built-in function where the controller
always check the status for an several important parameters. The
controller will detect eventual deviations and stop the vehicle before
the transmission will be damaged.

In case of failure the APC will always show a failure code on the
APC display and in the cabin if the machine have this function
installed.

With help of the failure code you can locate were you should start to
search for the failure, electrical, hydraulic or mechanic.
Failure codes
 Failure codes

• Pressure feedback switch (valve) indicates there is no system pressure

present, although pressure should be there (engine is running)
• Transmission goes in shutdown mode
• Remark : 1100 Ohm = pressure / 2200 Ohm = no pressure
• Check oil level in transmission
• Messure if pump / regulator pressure is present
• Remark : if it is not possible to measure pressure, do the following:
1. Start the engine and immediately give full throttle. If not the error
comes again ⇒ It can be a suction problem.
2. Select forward as soon as the engine is started and verify if the
machine starts driving (5 s debouncing time on error declaration
after engine has reached 500 rpm). If yes ⇒ pressure is there.
 Failure codes

• If pressure is present and the code remains present, there are three
possibilities :
– Pressure feedback switch is failing (especially when the error
sometimes appears and sometimes doesn’t appear). Replace
complete valve wiring.
– One of the pressure check spools in the valve got stuck. This
makes the APC think that two direction or two range clutches are
closed at the same time. Replace the valve.
– Two direction or two range clutches are indeed closed at the same
time. Check transmission + wiring.
 Failure codes

• Invalid shift lever pattern detected for directions (40.06)

• Invalid shift lever pattern detected for ranges (41.06)

• Verify the CPos on the APC display (is it logic/shiftleverposition?)

• Standard shift lever : verify the digital input pattern sent to the
APC200 by using the diagnostic mode of the APC, and compare
this one to the wiring diagram or to the pattern in the APT-file

• CAN shift lever : measure shift lever pattern sent to the APC on
the CAN-bus
 Failure codes

• The actual transmission ratio (turbine rpm / output rpm) is too low

• The ratio between turbine and output is checked continuously

from a certain vehicle speed onwards and when no shifting nor
inching is busy.

• Goal : detect a slipping clutch

• Ratio too low is only possible with slipping clutch in braking mode
(SR > 1) ⇒ check measured turbine and output speed !

• Check the transmission ratio settings in the APT-file

 Failure codes

• The actual transmission ratio (turbine rpm / output rpm) is too high

• The ratio between turbine and output is checked continuously from

a certain vehicle speed onwards and when no shifting nor inching
is busy.

• Goal : detect a slipping clutch

• First check measured turbine and output speed !

• Check the transmission ratio settings in the APT-file

• Check the transmission for a slipping clutch (pressure ?)

 Failure codes

• The transmission converter out temperature switch indicates a

temperature > 125°C

• Transmission is forced to neutral and engine speed is limited to

50% of its maximum speed

• Let the transmission cool down

• Check converter out temperature, check converter out switch

• Check machine (cooler, cooler bypass…)

 Failure codes

• 5x.0y = analogue inputs faults

• x = number of analogue input

• .00 = shorted to ground ; .01 = not connected (open load)

• Only the active analogue inputs are checked !

• f.ex. 50.01 = analogue input 0 (pressure feedback switch) is not

connected

• Check wiring & sensor

 Failure codes

• 6x.0y = speed channel faults

• Only an electrical check !!

• x = number of speed channel

• .00 = shorted to ground ; .01 = not connected (open load)

• f.ex. 60.00 = speed channel 0 (drumspeed) is shorted to ground

• Check wiring & speed sensor

 Failure codes

• 7x.0y = analogue output faults

• x = number of analogue output (note : 0 to 3 are the VFS’s)
• .00 = shorted to ground
• .01 = not connected (open load)
• .02 = the output current (measured by feedback) > 1400 mA
• .03 = the output current (theoretically sent value) > 1400 mA
• Check wiring
• More detail in error code list
 Failure codes

• 8x.0y = digital output faults

• x = number of digital output

• .00 = shorted to ground ; .01 = not connected or shorted to +

• Only the active digital outputs are checked !

• f.ex. 81.00 = digital output 1 (2/4 selector) is shorted to ground

• Check wiring

Measure ports for
TE13 & TE17
The transmission have several measure
ports where it is possible to connect a
pressure gauge. The functionality of the
transmission have a relation to the oil
pressure of the different positions in the
transmission. If you understand the
hydraulic diagram it is easy to do the
troubleshooting.

 Troubleshooting
From the Errors from the APC is very good guide
line for how you should go on with the trouble
shooting
If you have an error which indicate something with
a relation into the hydraulic functionality it’s easy
to confirm if you measure the pressure in the area
where you have a functional problem
