CID 672 Procedure Torque Converter Output Speed (COS) Sensor

NOTE: In addition to this procedure the torque converter output speed circuit can be checked by
monitoring the converter output speed (COS) indicator (later only) of the display. Indicator ON =
valid speed signal, torque converter turning. Indicator OFF = no speed signal, torque converter
stopped. Also the status of the COS sensor circuit is shown when the display is in the other status
mode; see the subject Mode 3 - Other Status Mode.

NOTE: For the 785B with VIMS, the TCO speed sensor is a passive, magnetic pickup type of
sensor. For troubleshooting, adapt the basic procedures for CID 190.

FMI F02

This FMI F02 fault pertains to the torque converter output speed (COS) sensor that is part of the
EPTC II system. EPTC II uses a COS sensor only on machines equipped with VIMS.

This fault is recorded when EPTC II reads the COS sensor signal (wire 452-PU) as not valid
(incorrect).

The results of this fault condition are:

a. VIMS shows incorrect clutch slippage data.

The possible causes of this fault are:

a. Machine harness (wire 452-PU) is open or shorted between EPTC II and the COS sensor.

b. COS sensor is not installed correctly.

c. COS sensor is faulty.

d. EPTC II is faulty.

Service Notes: If a sensor supply fault is present (CID 269), correct it prior to troubleshooting this
fault (CID 672 FMI F02). The machine must be operating in second gear or higher in order for
EPTC II to show this fault as being present (fault present indicator is ON). Ensure that the CID 672
FMI F02 fault is on-hold.

1. REPLACE SENSOR - Replace the sensor; see the subject COS Sensor Replacement. After
replacement, clear the CID 672 FMI F02 from EPTC II. Operate the machine in second gear or
higher for a brief period of time. Stop the machine. Check the diagnostics to see if the CID 672 FMI
F02 fault has reoccurred.

· A CID 672 FMI F02 fault has not been recorded; indicates the fault is no longer present. The
replaced sensor was faulty.

· A CID 672 FMI F02 fault has been recorded; indicates the fault remains present. The replaced
sensor was not the cause of the defect. Wire 452-PU is shorted, open or EPTC II is faulty. Go to Step
2.

2. CHECK FOR SHORT TO GROUND - Turn the disconnect and key start switches to the OFF
position. Disconnect the machine harness from EPTC II and the COS sensor. At the machine harness
connector for the sensor, measure the resistance between contact C (wire 452-PU) and frame ground.

· Resistance is less than 5000 Ω; the machine harness is faulty. Wire 452-PU is shorted or has
leakage in the machine harness between the sensor and EPTC II. Repair or replace the machine
harness.

· Resistance is greater than 5000 Ω; harness circuit resistance for wire 452-PU is correct. Wire 452-
PU is shorted to +battery, open or EPTC II is faulty. Go to Step 3.

3. CHECK FOR SHORTED HARNESS - The COS sensor remains disconnected from the machine
harness. Connect the machine harness to EPTC II. Turn the disconnect and key start switches to the
ON position. At the machine harness connector for the sensor, measure the DC voltage between
contact C (wire 452-PU) and contact B (wire 202-BK).

· DC voltage is present; the machine harness is faulty. In the machine harness, wire 452-PU is
shorted to a +battery source between the sensor and EPTC II. Repair or replace the machine harness.

· DC voltage is NOT present; the voltage is correct. Wire 452-PU is open or EPTC II is faulty. Go to
Step 4.

4. CHECK FOR OPEN HARNESS - The COS sensor remains disconnected from the machine
harness. Turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the machine harness from
EPTC II. At the machine harness connector for the sensor, place a jumper from contact B to contact
C. At the machine harness connector for EPTC II, measure the resistance between contact A30 and
frame ground.

· Resistance is greater than 5000 Ω; the machine harness is faulty. Wire 452-PU is open between the
sensor and EPTC II. Repair or replace the machine harness.

· Resistance is less than 5000 Ω; harness circuit resistance is correct. It is unlikely that EPTC II is
faulty. Perform the previous Steps again. If the cause is not found, replace EPTC II; see the subject
EPTC II Replacement.
