Kubota Engine Diagnostic Software and Forced Regens

One of the most complex activities that need to be carried out on diesel-powered Kubota engines is forced regens. This is an essential action that must be done to ensure that your Kubota diesel engine-powered equipment is always in peak operating mode.

Forced regens clear soot buildup in the diesel particulate filter. If left unattended the engine might seize up and the equipment will go into limp mode. Forced regens is the highest level of activity to clear the DPF and is required when passive regens fail to clear the soot accumulation.

Soot buildup is a very common occurrence when an engine is on a go-stop-go working as is common in dozers, excavators, and similar types of equipment, and does not run continuously for long stretches at a time. When the Kubota engine diagnostic software detects a fault code that is related to the soot in the DPF it will guide you on resolving the issue.

The power of the forced regens might be High to Very High, depending on the extent of soot in the DPF and this will be indicated in our maintenance tool. The method to clear the soot is by running the engine for around 40 minutes at an RPM that is indicated by the Kubota engine diagnostic tool. Running the engine continuously raises the temperature of the exhaust gasses and burns away the soot.

Simultaneously, along with the forced regens, you will also receive information about the regeneration of the SCR Catalytic Converter. Additionally, the Kubota code injector scanner also helps you to change the injector code in the Electronic Control Module (ECM) whenever an injector is replaced or installed.

Fault Code Resolutions With The Kubota Diagnostic Tool

Fault codes are indicators that pinpoint the malfunction in equipment. It may be related to any systems such as the hydraulics or transmissions or a component that needs replacing. The code is shown on the display panel of the onboard computer that is tucked away at the bottom of the dashboard on the driver’s side.

When you connect the Kubota diagnostic tool to the port of the computer, the interpretation of the fault will be displayed on the software laptop along with the resolutions that you must follow to get your equipment back on the job. Our software will guide you on clearing the fault codes and getting your equipment set for work.

Some fault codes are temporary and require minimal action as they are cleared within a few driving cycles. Others are more permanent and require guidance to eliminate. There are hundreds of fault codes and their interpretation can be quite confusing. What you need is an optimized tool such as the Kubota scan tool to handhold you through the rectification entries.

Even though Kubota engines are of the highest quality and renowned internationally for their efficiency, malfunctions do crop up as shown in their onboard computer. Here are a few examples of engine fault codes that crop up in the Jaltest Kubota diagnostic software related to Kubota engines.   

Engine not turning over or cranking: The fault typically lies in a dead battery but if this is not the case, it might be a corroded cable or a fault switch. Our Kubota diagnostic tool will guide you on fault analysis and how to rectify this issue.

Overheated engine: This issue is generally related to dirt and debris stopping proper ventilation and clogging up regular radiator airflow. 

Ignition key not responsive: While it may be a major fault, check the Kubota engine diagnostic software for resolutions. There is a possibility that it might be something as simple as a failing key cylinder that needs to be replaced.

Engine stopping at work: Typically, the cause of the stall is a mix of two types of fuels in the engine. Simply draining and flushing the required components will get your engine back on track again.  

Resetting the Fault Codes With The Kubota Scan Tool

Resetting fault codes is not standardized and varies as per make and models of Kubota equipment. For example, the fault codes of dozers and excavators will not be the same and the type of equipment must be inputted into the Kubota diagnostic software to get cutting-edge resolutions.

Generally, the Jaltest tool will guide you in resetting fault codes which entails pressing buttons in a specified pattern and following the prompts. For this, you must link our Kubota software laptop to the onboard computer of the equipment to understand the reason for the issue and to take corrective action.

The Hitachi Construction Company Ltd is an internationally renowned manufacturer of various types of construction equipment. Along with this niche, it is also into sales and service of transportation machinery, and other machines. The company is no longer a subsidiary of the Hitachi Group.

The Hitachi Construction Company was established in 1970 and was involved in the production and manufacture of the first Japanese mechanical excavator. It has since grown exponentially and is today one of the largest and major manufacturers of construction equipment in the world.  

Hitachi started its manufacturing journey with bulldozers, crawler cranes that was subsequently transferred to Hitachi Sumitomo Heavy Industries Construction Crane Ltd, and excavator models UH- and EX-series. These are not among the company’s products today. Presently, Hitachi is a major manufacturer of Excavators model ZX series, loaders, recycle machines, and dump trucks.

Now, where does the Jaltest Hitachi diagnostic tool for construction equipment come into the picture?

All modern vehicles, construction equipment, or material handling equipment have an onboard computer that indicates through fault codes any malfunction in systems or parts of the vehicle or equipment. Also known as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), these codes are shown on the display system just below the dashboard on the driver’s side.

The same goes for Hitachi construction equipment too. You can then take the help of the Hitachi diagnostic software to interpret the code, identify the source of the malfunction, and then be guided on corrective actions to be taken up.

Functioning Of The Hitachi Diagnostic Software

The Jaltest Hitachi scan tool offers options to check the health of the equipment and ensure that it is always in peak operating condition. There are two ways to go about it, preventive maintenance and troubleshooting by symptoms.

The first is diagnostics which are done at the first hint of trouble to ensure that a minor issue does not become a major full-blown problem at a later date leading to downtime. This is done by periodically scanning the equipment and figuring out whether there are any slight trouble that can lead to potential severe faults later.

Generally, such issues do not cause much trouble and are known as temporary fault codes. Suppose our Hitachi excavator diagnostic software identifies an issue with the transmission of an excavator. In case it persists and does not go away within a few driving cycles, more attention should be given to it since it might transform to a permanent fault code in the future.

Now, once a permanent fault code is detected, the same Hitachi excavator diagnostic tool will tell you what the fault code refers to it and suggest actions that will clear it. Our user-friendly software makes sure that your equipment is always on the job and any fault code is read and cleared at the earliest.

Deep Coverage With The Jaltest Hitachi Scan Tool

If you are operating or own a fleet of Hitachi construction equipment such as excavators, loaders, front shovels, and others regardless of the models, our Hitachi diagnostic tool is a must-have. You ensure that no malfunction goes unnoticed and you do not suffer because a small problem has escalated into an unmanageable permanent fault code leading to downtime and loss for your business.

Our Hitachi excavator diagnostic software offers excellent coverage of your construction equipment of this brand.

Additionally, you get access to our user-friendly dashboard which provides a wide range of technical data and information that allows you to carry out bi-directional functions and control engine operating speeds and oil flow adjustments through detailed live data monitoring wiring diagrams.  

No job is too difficult for the Hitachi scan tool as you get services that are typically offered at the dealer level.

Hitachi Excavator Diagnostic Tool And Force Regens

One of the most complex activities that is facilitated by our Hitachi diagnostic software is force regens. It becomes necessary for equipment that is powered by diesel engines, something that is very common on Hitachi excavator models. So, what is the Hitachi construction equipment fault code that requires forced regens to clear it?

Even though our Hitachi excavator diagnostic software is highly optimized to settle issues with transmissions, hydraulics, lights, and more, forced regens are a very critical activity that it does to keep the engine running without a break. Forced regens is carried out when there is a large soot buildup in the diesel particulate filter of diesel engines and the vehicle or equipment goes into limp mode in the most severe cases.

It typically happens when the usual passive regens cannot clear the soot in the DPF and forced regens activity must be done. It is a phenomenon that is typically seen in engines that are not run on long stretches but have stop-go actions continuously. Forced regens is the highest form of DPF regeneration.

Our Hitachi diagnostic tool through the onboard computer will warn you if soot has accumulated in the DPF and requires clearing up. The software will guide you through the power of force regens required from High to Very High. To perform forced regens, the engine should be running for about 40 minutes at an RPM to be calculated by the maintenance tool. This raises the temperature of the exhaust gasses which ultimately burn the soot off the diesel particulate filter.

   

Hitachi Excavator Diagnostic Software – Clearing Fault Codes

We have seen in this post how the Hitachi diagnostic tool reads and clears any malfunction with your equipment as shown by fault codes in the onboard computer. While fault codes are not standardized, they are common among different models of equipment.

Here are some fault codes of Hitachi excavators and what that means for you.   

• 11100-2 engine speed is abnormal
• 11101-3 engine speed control knob sensor high pressure abnormal
• 11200-3 Pump 1 oil pressure sensor high pressure abnormal
• 11200-4 Pump 1 Oil pressure sensor low pressure abnormality
• 11301-3 Rotary pilot pressure sensor high pressure abnormality
• 11302-3 Boom lifting pilot pressure sensor high pressure abnormality
• 11302-4 Boom lift pilot pressure sensor low pressure abnormality
• 11304-4 Walking pilot pressure sensor low pressure abnormality
• 11400-2 Pump 2 Maximum Flow Limit Control Solenoid Valve Current Feedback Abnormal
• 11401-2 Torque control solenoid valve current feedback abnormal

Now let us check an example of the full process that our Hitachi excavator diagnostic software will take you through. 

Fault code: 11301-3

• Fault problem: high pressure abnormality of rotary pilot pressure sensor
• Fault reason: voltage 4.75V or above
• Affected control: (1) Stick regeneration control (2) Attachment flow control (3) Slewing alarm control
• Symptoms of machine operation when the fault occurs: (1) Stick retracting and swiveling combined operation stick speed is slow (2) If the machine is equipped with a swing alarm and when the swing alarm is active, the swing alarm continues to sound
• Remarks: (1) Check the wiring harness (2) Replace the rotary pilot pressure sensor

As can be seen, our Hitachi diagnostic tool takes you through the full gamut of fault clearance. It starts from the time a fault code is detected on the onboard computer and reflected in the software after our laptop is linked to the equipment, right up to the time the fault is cleared.

Jaltest New Holland Diagnostic Tool and Resolving Engine Fault Codes

Even though the Jaltest diagnostic tool covers a wide range of systems such as engines, transmissions, brakes, hydraulics, and others, one of the most complex rectification actions is forced regens for diesel engines. Why do you have to carry out this procedure on your diesel-powered New Holland agricultural equipment?

All diesel engines face the problem of soot build-up in the diesel particulate filter. In severe cases, the engine chokes, and the equipment goes into limp mode. This soot must be burnt off to get the equipment back on track again. When passive regens are incapable of clearing the soot, forced regens must be deployed as it is the highest form of DPF regeneration. This phenomenon is common to equipment that continuously has a stop-go routine without any continuous running of the engine.  

When the onboard computer shows soot buildup in the DPF, our New Holland diagnostic software will guide you through the process of cleaning it. It typically involves running the engine when the equipment is stationary for around 40 minutes at an RPM that is calculated by the software. This raises the temperature of the exhaust gasses and burns off the soot. The maintenance tool also decides whether the forced regens should be done at High or Very High mode for best results.

Even though forced regens are guided by our software, the activity is done by certified engineers. 

Type Of Fault Codes Detected by New Holland Diagnostic Tools

We have discussed fault codes that are picked up by our New Holland scan tool for resolutions. These fall under various categories of systems and components. To provide you with a better idea of how it works, here are some fault codes along with their reasons.

Engines:    

• 111: Engine Controller Failure – Hardware Failure
• 191: A/C clutch driver shorted to ground when ON
• 329: CAPS Pump has an over-pumping failure
• 419: Boost pressure data invalid
• 697: Engine Controller Internal temperature too high

Transmission:

• 24: None of the transmission clutches are calibrated
• The clutch pedal bottom of the clutch switch misadjusted
• 70: Battery storage is too low for clutch solenoid operation
• 77: No signal from the wheel speed sensor
• 133: Reverse clutch is not calibrated

Once the numeric code shows on the display panel of the onboard computer, you can check the description and the action required on our New Holland diagnostic tool. All faults can be detected with our guided fault diagnosis supported by in-depth technical data, technical information, and wiring diagrams.

Construction Equipment And The Komatsu Diagnostic Tool

If you have a fleet of Komatsu construction equipment such as wheel loaders, excavators, dozers, trucks, or motor graders, the Jaltest Komatsu diagnostic scanner should be a must-have tool for you. It is to ensure that your equipment is always on the job and any minor issue is quickly nipped in the bud and does not become a major one that might lead to downtime and stoppage of work.

To know why let us see how any malfunction of your Komatsu equipment can be handled by our Komatsu diagnostic maintenance software.

At the heart of all modern vehicles, construction and material handling equipment, and even state-of-the-art stationary machinery lies an onboard computer. Its primary task is to monitor the health of the equipment and send warning signals in the form of fault codes if any trouble crops up in any systems or components. These fault codes are shown on the display screen located below the dashboard on the driver’s side.

How does a Komatsu fault code look? Here are two examples.

When the fault code shows CA115, it indicates engine speed sensor and backup speed sensor failure. CA122 means the intake air pressure sensor feedback voltage is too high failure and CA123, the intake air pressure sensor feedback voltage is too low failure. As soon as the alpha-numeric fault code is shown, connect our Komatsu diagnostic software to the onboard computer to know the interpretation of the fault code and what corrective solution must be initiated. Your equipment can be quickly brought back to work again.

Now, there are two types of fault codes that you might come up against. The first is a temporary fault code that might be a minor fault that does not persist and usually goes away after a few driving cycles. The second is a permanent one and complex like forced regens and after-treatment action.

In both cases, our Komatsu diagnostic will assist you with rectification solutions at a level that is no less than dealer-level servicing.

Komatsu Diagnostic Scanner and Forced Regens

Among the complex activities that can be carried out with the Jaltest Komatsu diagnostic scanner is forced regens. It is a critical action that is necessary when your equipment is diesel-powered. Since Cummins engines fall in this category, forced regens is essential to keep your Komatsu equipment especially excavators and dozers and their Cummins engines in peak operating mode.

Forced regens keep your Komatsu Cummins engines running without a break. It becomes necessary when there is soot buildup in the diesel particulate filter to an extent where the engine goes into limp mode and passive regens are not enough to clear it. When soot buildup fault codes are shown on the onboard computer, immediate corrective action must be taken.

This issue is typically found in excavators and dozers where the engine is continuously on a stop-go-stop mode and does not run for long stretches at a time. Forced regens on Komatsu equipment is the highest type of DPF regeneration and is performed by certified engineers with guidance from the Komatsu diagnostics maintenance tool.

The soot buildup is cleared through force regens and entails running the engine for around 40 minutes without moving the equipment. The temperature of the exhaust gasses is thereby increased and this clears the soot accumulation. The Jaltest Komatsu software will guide you on whether to run forced regens at High or Very High and at what RPM the engine should be operated for optimized results.
