Until a permanent solution is known, use the solution that is identified below.Problem
Failures of the temperature sensors for the torque converter, transmission, and brake are being reported in the field as having one of the following symptoms of failure:
Open
Shorted
IntermittentFailure analysis of the returned parts show that the majority of the parts function properly after testing. The following part numbers are the affected part numbers: 100-3055 Temperature Sensor Gp and 118-7226 Temperature Sensor Gp .Solution
A team for Continuous Product Improvement (CPI) is investigating the failures that have been reported. The team recommends configuring the VIMS Snapshot Trigger in order to record the event for the temperature sensor on each machine with sensors that have failed. Refer to the publication that is listed above in order to configure the VIMS. For each event, enter the ID that is related to the application and to the event that occurs.After you copy the event, send the output files to one of the following people:Suau_Joseph_E

When possible, the team is requesting to travel to the site of the machine that is exhibiting the failure of the sensor for further investigation. Consult one of the following people:
Rich Oljace (Product Support for Caterpillar Electronics & Connected Worksite Division (E & CWD)) at 309-578-6946
Joe Suau (CPI Team Leader for Caterpillar E & CWD) at 309-578-2759In order to provide speed to the resolution for this issue, Caterpillar is requesting this information on parts that are exhibiting these failure modes until 31December 2008.
