Note: If there is a problem with the electrical system for the hoist, the Chassis Electronic Control Module (Chassis ECM) will cause the hoist control
valve to remain in the HOLD position until the problem is fixed. When the problem is fixed, the hoist control must be placed in the HOLD position.
With the hoist control in the HOLD position, the Chassis ECM will reset in order to allow normal operation of the hoist control valve.
Check the Input and Output of the Chassis Electronic Control Module
1. Turn the start switch key to the ON position.
3. Use the VIMS in order to view the input and output of the Chassis ECM.
4. Type "787" on the keypad for the VIMS. Press the "GAUGE" key in order to view the input to the Chassis ECM.
5. Type "788" on the keypad for the VIMS. Press the "GAUGE" key in order to view the output from the Chassis ECM.
Note: When the engine is not operating, the Chassis ECM causes the output to the hoist control valve to remain in the HOLD position. In
order to override this condition, hold the hoist control in the RAISE position for 30 seconds.
6. Place the hoist control in the RAISE, HOLD, FLOAT, and LOWER positions.
Table 1
4. Move the hoist control through the four positions RAISE, HOLD, FLOAT, and LOWER.
5. Compare the display on the VIMS or on the ET with the position of the hoist control lever.
1. Connect a multimeter between Pin A and Pin B of the connector for the hoist lever position sensor.
Refer to Step 1 through Step 4 in order to check the output signal of the hoist lever position sensor.
1. Connect a multimeter between Pin B and Pin C of the connector for the hoist lever position sensor.
3. The duty cycle output of the sensor should be approximately 5 percent to 95 percent when the lever is between the full RAISE position and
the full LOWER position.
4. The pull up voltage for the hoist lever position sensor should be approximately 7 V.
Note: The four positions for the hoist lever position sensor are constantly calibrated by the Chassis ECM during the operation of the machine.

3. Move the hoist control lever to the RAISE position. Record the reading on the multimeter.
4. Move the hoist control lever to the HOLD position. Record the reading on the multimeter.
5. Use the message center for the Vital Information Management System (VIMS) to view the position of the position sensor for the dump body.
Type "787" on the keypad for the VIMS. Press the "GAUGE" key.
6. Disconnect the linkage for the position sensor for the dump body. Move the linkage in order to rotate the position sensor for the dump body to
approximately 40 degrees. Verify that the position sensor has been rotated to the second stage of the hoist cylinders on the VIMS message
center. Type "708" on the keypad for the VIMS. Press the "GAUGE" key.
Note: The hoist cylinders must be in the second stage or the dump body must be raised more than 40 degrees in order for the hoist control
valve to be in the LOWER position.
7. Move the hoist control lever to the LOWER position. Record the reading on the multimeter.
8. Move the hoist control to the FLOAT position. Record the reading on the multimeter.
9. Connect the linkage for the position sensor onto the dump body. Check the reading on the multimeter within 20 seconds. Record the reading
on the multimeter. The recorded value is for the SNUB position.
Note: After the linkage is connected to the dump body, the hoist control valve will be in the SNUB position for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds,
the hoist control valve will change to the low-power FLOAT position.
11. Repeat Step 1 through Step 10 for proportional solenoid valve (2), and proportional solenoid valve (4) through proportional solenoid valve (8).
Note: The proportional solenoid valves receive a maximum of 1.9 A current from the Chassis ECM when the proportional solenoid valves are fully
activated.

3. Connect a pressure gauge to the front section and to the rear section of the hoist pump. Use the highest pressure of the two sections in order
to calibrate the pressure for the lower function of the hoist system.
4. On the ET screen, click File - Select ECM and choose Chassis ECM.
5. On the ET screen, click Service - Calibration - Hoist Calibration. The screen in Illustration 3 will appear.
6. Follow the instructions on the ET screen in order to set the pressure to 6890 kPa (1000 psi).
Note: You will be instructed to hold the hoist lever in the LOWER position. The engine speed will increase to high idle. Use the arrows on the
bottom of the ET screen to increase or decrease the pressure. The single arrow changes the pressure by 7 kPa (1 psi). The double arrows
change the pressure by 70 kPa (10 psi).

Note: When the Hoist Lower Valve is adjusted too high, too much oil can be diverted to the hoist system. If the hoist system is in the float mode,
the brake oil heats up faster. Retarding capability is also decreased. To set the Hoist Lower Valve, follow the procedure below.

3. Connect a 6V-7830 Tetragauge to one of the outlet ports on the hoist pump.
5. With the engine that is running, place the hoist lever in the body float position.
6. With the engine operating at high idle and the body in the snub position, record the pressure.
Note: If the pressure at the hoist outlet port is more than 1723 kPa (250 psi), then proceed to Step 7.

11. Insert the new value in the "Hoist Lower Valve Adjustment Status" box. Click "OK". Select "OK" in the verification box.
12. Repeat Step 5 through Step 11 until the pressure is below 1724 kPa (250 psi).
Note: When the pressure is greater than 1724 kPa (250 psi), the adjustment is set too high. If the adjustment is too high, too much oil can be
diverted to the hoist valve. Too much oil to the hoist valve causes the brake oil to overheat when the body is in the body float position. Reduce the
Hoist Lower Valve Adjustment in ET. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 in order to lower the pressure below 1724 kPa (250 psi).
Note: The body down snub function cushions the shock when the body hits the bed of the truck. When the body is lowered, the body position
sensor detects the position of the body. When the body is close to the rail of the truck, the ECM will go into snub mode. When the operators
request is less than the snub mode, the ECM will use the operators request. When the ECM uses the operators request, the ECM ensures that the
snub function will never cause the body to go down faster than the hoist lever modulation. The body snub function will be canceled as the operator
moves the hoist lever out of the body float position or the body lower position. The body snub function will not start until the body is raised above
the body position sensor activation point.
