FAN DRIVE FLTR

Fan Drive Oil


Filter Bypass

116

Switch

The status of the Fan Drive Oil Filter


Bypass (PLUGGED or OK). When the
pressure across the filter is greater
than the specified pressure, the
switch plunger moves and allows the
switch contacts to open telling VIMS
that the filter is plugged. With normal
operation, the switch contacts are
closed and the circuit is grounded.
Cold oils often cause a known filter
restriction, so VIMS ignores warnings
(open switch) when oil temperature is
below about 125 degrees F.

445

STRG OIL FLTR

Steering Oil
Filter

49

Switch

The status of the main steering


system oil filter (PLUGGED or OK).
When the pressure across the filter is
greater than the specified pressure,
the switch plunger moves and allows
the switch contacts to open telling
VIMS that the filter is plugged. With
normal operation, the switch contacts
are closed and the circuit is grounded.
Cold oils often cause a known filter
restriction, so VIMS ignores warnings
(open switch) when oil temperature is
below about 125 degrees F.

447

STRG OIL
LEVEL

Steering Oil
Level

49

Switch

This switch notifies VIMS of the


status of oil level in the main steering
system (LO or OK). The switch opens
when steering oil level is less than the
specified. During normal operation,
the switch is closed to ground.

448

Lock

49

Switch

The status of the steering and


transmission lockout systems. A
switch with two outputs (normally
closed and normally open) is used
as inputs to notify the transmission
ECM of the lockout condition. At any
given time one input must always be
connected to ground and the other
must be open. If this case is not
so, the transmission ECM knows
that there is a failure in the system.
When steering/transmission lockout is
active, the steering and transmission
systems are not allowed to function.

449

PRI STRG PRES

Primary

primary side of the steering system
(LO or OK). This pressure switch is
normally connected to ground. When
the pressure becomes lower than
a specified level, the switch opens
notifying VIMS that there is low oil
pressure.

Glossary of Terms
SMCS Code: 7601; 7603
Abuse This is the operation of a machine or an
engine in a way that could possibly damage the
machine or the engine.
Abnormal The condition of a machine system is
not normal or a signal of a machine system is not
within expected limits. An abnormal condition or a
abnormal signal means that a problem exists. The
operator should be notified with a warning when an
abnormal condition exists.
Absolute Pressure (PSIA) This pressure is
measured from a vacuum reference. Atmospheric
pressure at sea level is equal to101 kPa (14.7 psi).
Active This pertains to the status of a fault or to
the status of a service code. When the fault is active,
the fault is currently present.
Active Fault This is a type of diagnostic
maintenance event. The maintenance event identifies
a specific failure in an electronic control system. This
condition is described as an active data event or an
active maintenance event. See Event and Fault.
Active Sensor The sensor is externally powered.
The sensor must have at least three lead wires. See
Passive Sensor.
Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM)
This is the electronic engine control that is used by
Caterpillar gas engines and diesel engines.
Air Gap This is the distance between a gear
tooth and the tip of a magnetic pickup. This is also
the distance between the rotor and the stator of an
alternator or a generator.

Alert Indicator This is the red indicator lamp that


is located in the display area. The lamp flashes when
a problem exists. The VIMS message center module
will identify the abnormal condition of the machine
system. This is part of the operator warning system.
The indicator typically means that the machine needs
attention. However, the machine is able to continue
operation. The abnormal condition must be checked
in accordance with the machines Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
Alternator This is a electromechanical device that
converts rotating mechanical energy into electrical
energy in the form of alternating current.
Alternating Current (AC) This is a flow of current
that flows in both directions. This process repeats
continuously. The number of such cycles per second
is called the frequency.
American Wire Gauge (AWG) This is a measure
of the diameter of electrical wire. As the AWG number
becomes smaller, the wire diameter becomes larger.
Larger wire diameters handle more current.
Ampere I The standard unit of measure for
current flow in a circuit.
Analog Display A type of readout that shows
information with a needle that sweeps across a dial
face. See Digital Display.
Analog Sensor Power Supply This is a power
source in a Caterpillar electronic control system, that
powers analog sensors. The power source is usually
rated at 5 DCV.
Analog Signal This is a signal voltage from an
analog sensor. The signal varies smoothly over time.
The variations are caused by the changing conditions
that are sensed.
