SEAL AS 8C4929 - Caterpillar

the Caterpillar Magnet Control requires additional information from the machine's Service Manual. The additional manuals that may be required are the Service Manual, the System Schematic, the Parts Manual and the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the machine that is being serviced.As a guide, a typical system schematic is included at the end of this manual. For an accurate representation of the machine that is being diagnosed, refer to "Electrical System Schematic" in the Service Manual for the machine that is being serviced.When the troubleshooting procedure instructs you to "REPAIR THE HARNESS", use the Electrical System Schematic for the machine that is being serviced to trace the circuit. Perform continuity checks at the harness connectors in order to locate harness failures. At the connectors of the components, always check the ground circuit. Less than five ohms of resistance is required between the ground contacts of the connector and the frame ground. Excessive ground resistance that is greater than five ohms can cause incorrect diagnosing of problems.During troubleshooting, inspect all connections before any component is replaced. If these connections are not clean and tight, permanent electrical problems or intermittent electrical problems can result. Check that the wires are pushed into the connectors completely. Make sure that the connections are tight before other tests are made.Failure of an electrical component can cause the failure of other components. Also, failure of an electrical component can be caused by the failure of other components. Always attempt to correct the cause of an electrical system failure before you replace a component.
