Quick reference electrical connection diagrams are included throughout this manual. However, these diagrams do not show the machine wiring harness connections that are part of the circuit. The complete electrical system schematic illustrate all machine wiring harness connectors and the locations on the machine.Electronic Control Module (ECM)

Electronic control modules are located to left rear side of the machine (1) Machine ECM (2) Implement ECMMachine ECM
The machine ECM is the control module that will use the programmed control logic to manage the operation of most of the machine functions. The machine ECM will use the data from the various input devices to determine the appropriate output response to operator commands.The machine ECM determines all of the appropriate output commands and communicates this information to the Implement ECM on the SAE J1939 (CAN) data link.The machine ECM will activate outputs in order to energize or de-energize solenoids that will control the installed machine functions.Except for the operation of the engine, the machine ECM will control the major machine functions on the machine. The machine ECM controls the following functions:
Electronic shifting of the transmission and travel functions
Implement control
Left and the right electronic joystick operation
Oscillating axle operationIn addition, the machine ECM will control the following attachment functions when installed on the machine:
Auxiliary hydraulics
Medium pressure hydraulics
Overload warning
Quick coupler
Travel alarm
Travel lock

The inputs describe the status of the machine systems. Two types of inputs exist. The inputs can be either a switch type or a sensor type. Switches provide an open, a ground, or a + battery signal to the inputs of the controller. Sensors (frequency, PWM, or voltage) provide a changing signal to the sensor inputs of the controller.Sensor Inputs
Most sensor input circuits have an internal ECM "pull up voltage" that is present at the ECM contacts. An above normal voltage is internally connected to the ECM input circuit
