2020/12/03 Traction Control System (M0122672-00)

SMCS - 4801 i08287717

The "Traction Control System" (TCS) uses the service brakes "ARC/TCS" valves to decrease the revolutions of a spinning
wheel. The "TCS" provides the tires with better underfoot conditions to increase torque. The "TCS" system is controlled by the "Brake" ECM.

PSP
The "Brake" ECM monitors the drive wheels through three input signals. The "Brake" ECM monitors one signal from each drive axle and the signal
from the transmission output shaft. The "Brake" ECM sends a signal to the service brakes "ARC/TCS" valves when the spinning of a drive wheel is

-
detected. "TCS" applies the brakes to the spinning wheel until the ratio between the right axle and the left axle speeds return to a 1:1 ratio. When

the traction has been recovered, the "TCS" will release the brake.

2
The "TCS" monitors the state of the machine, and determines when the brakes should be engaged on the spinning wheel. The following conditions
will prevent the "TCS" from engaging:

08: / 0 F 1 F
4 /2 B
The "TCS" will remain inactive if the service brakes are engaged. This feature is intended to keep the "TCS" from engaging during retarder

engagement (going down a hill), when "TCS" activation might interfere with "ARC" operation.

M0 :29+
The "TCS" will remain inactive if the machine speed is above 19.3 km/h (12.0 mph). This feature is intended to keep the "TCS" from engaging

at high speeds.

TCS Test Mode 2

The "TCS" has a test mode that may be used when the machine is moving. "TCS" test mode is also called semi-automatic test mode. The test

Cat 2 C
mode allows the operator to monitor the "TCS" solenoid currents as the solenoids cycle back and forth. While operating in the test mode, the "TCS"

status PID reports that the system is in test mode.

The operator can initiate the test mode by meeting the following criteria:

fide r: llar
"TCS" test switch on the dash is depressed.

Inc
Machine is stationary. (Transmission output speed is zero. Ground speed is zero. Both wheel speeds are zero).

Service brakes are released.

ntia .
lG
Retarder lever, "ARC", "BMSL" are not active. (No feature is activating the rear solenoids).

Parking brake is applied.

Test mode is exited if any of the above conditions are not true and any of the following faults exist:

"Right Rear Wheel Speed" sensors

"Left Rear Wheel Speed" sensors

"Transmission Output Speed" sensor
