Here are what your codes mean.

Each of them are of the form MID-CID-FMI where MID is


the module, CID is the component, & FMI is the Failure Mode.

MID081 is the transmission control - common to all of them.


FMI05 is "current below normal" - again common to all of them.

CID 177 is the oil temperature sensor


CID 1402 is transmission solenoid #2 (Fwd. Low)
CID 1403 is transmission solenoid #3 (Reverse)
CID 1404 is transmission solenoid #4 (2nd Gear)
CID 1405 is transmission solenoid #5 (3rd Gear)
CID 1408 is transmission solenoid #8 (High Range)

Looking at the components involved I think it's fairly obvious where your problem lies
..............

Are all the Codes active right now ..?

Here is a generic procedure to troubleshoot the FMI05 Fault on the transmission solenoids.

This diagnostic code is associated with the solenoid valve (No. 2/3/5/8). This diagnostic code
is recorded when the ECM reads the current of the solenoid as being below normal. There is
an open circuit.

The possible causes of this diagnostic code are:-

The signal circuit of the solenoid is open.


The return circuit of the solenoid is open.
The solenoid has failed.
The ECM has failed. This is unlikely.

System Response: When this diagnostic code is active, the power train ECM will turn off the
current to the failed solenoid. Operation in gears that use this clutch will not be allowed by
the power train ECM.
Note: Ensure that CID 1402/1403/1404/1405/1408 FMI 05 is on hold and that the diagnostic
code indicator shows "SERV CODE".

Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Clear these
diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code is corrected.

Test Step 1. CHECK THE SOLENOID. Turn the disconnect switch to the ON position. Turn
the key start switch to the ON position. Note: Do not start the engine. Disconnect the
solenoid with the diagnostic code from the machine harness. At the machine harness
connector for the solenoid, place a jumper wire from contact 1 to contact 2.
CID 1402 - contact 1 is wire 754-BU, contact 2 is 921-WH
CID 1403 - contact 1 is wire 751-GN, contact 2 is 921-WH.
CID 1404 - contact 1 is wire 900-PU, contact 2 is 922-BR.
CID 1405 - contact 1 is wire 902-BR, contact 2 is 922-BR.
CID 1408 - contact 1 is wire 755-OR, contact 2 is 921-WH.

Observe the status of the diagnostic code indicator. "SERV CODE" will either be illuminated
or not.
Expected Result: The "SERV CODE" blinks on and off as the jumper wire is installed and
removed.
Results:
OK - The circuit is correct. Repair: The solenoid has failed. Repeat this Test Step "CHECK
THE SOLENOID" in order to verify the solenoid failure. Replace the solenoid. Verify that the
new solenoid corrects the problem. STOP.
NOT OK - The diagnostic code remains active. The jumper wire does not affect the
diagnostic code. Proceed to Test Step 2.

Test Step 2. CHECK THE HARNESS FOR AN OPEN CIRCUIT.


Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the
machine harness connector J1 and machine harness connector J2 from the ECM. At the
machine harness connector for the solenoid, place a jumper wire from contact 1 to contact 2.
See list above for the wires numbers & colour that apply for the solenoid you are testing. At
the machine harness connector J1 or J2 (as applicable), measure the resistance from the
signal contact wire to the signal return wire.

Expected Result: The resistance should be less than 5.0 ohms.


Results:
OK - The resistance is less than 5.0 ohms. The machine harness is correct. Proceed to Test
Step 3.
NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5.0 ohms. The resistance measurement is not
correct. There is an open circuit in the machine harness. Repair: The open circuit is either in
the signal wire or in the return wire of the machine harness. Repair the machine harness or
replace the machine harness. STOP

Test Step 3. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS.


Perform the following: Inspect the contacts of the harness connectors. Clean the contacts of
the harness connectors. Reconnect all harness connectors. Turn the disconnect switch to
the ON position. Turn the key start switch to the ON position. Enter the service mode of the
Caterpillar Monitoring System and clear all inactive diagnostic codes. Operate the machine.

Check the status of CID 140X FMI 05 for the solenoid. The "SERV CODE" is showing or the
"SERV CODE" is not showing.
Expected Result: CID 140X FMI 05 for the solenoid is not present. "SERV CODE" is not
showing.
Results:
OK - The diagnostic code is not present. The diagnostic code does not exist at this time. The
initial diagnostic code was probably caused by a poor electrical connection or a short at one
of the harness connectors that was disconnected and reconnected. Resume normal
machine operation.STOP
NOT OK - The diagnostic code has not been corrected. Repair: It is unlikely that the ECM
has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the
diagnostic code is not found, replace the ECM.
