repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with
nc.
suitable containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.
Refer to Special Publication, PERJ1017, "Dealer Service Tool

Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Cat® products.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and

mandates.

Introduction
This story includes the following test:
Front ARC Control Valve - Test
Rear ARC Control Valve - Test
The engagement of the automatic retarder control system is a combination of the retarder system
and the service brakes. Engagement of the service brakes is controlled by the front and rear
retarder solenoid control valves. The front and rear automatic retarder control valves apply pressure
to the service brakes. This test requires a connection to Cat® Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service
Tool.

Test Preparation
Note: Make sure that the filters and the screens are clean before you test any pressures. Make sure
that the oil is at operating temperature before you perform these tests.
1. Move the machine to a smooth, horizontal location that is away from operating machines and
away from personnel.
2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine.
3. Rotate the steering wheel to a NEUTRAL position.
4. Move the transmission control to PARK to engage the parking brake.
5. Lower or retract the implements.
6. Stop the engine.
7. Turn the key to the ON position, but do not start the engine.
8. Verify that the implement controls are UNLOCKED.
