Bobcat E23 Mini Ex – No throttle response, PLEASE HELP!

50BMG ยท 2023-11-01 21:11

Hi Guys, I've got a 2016 Bobcat E23 mini ex. The throttle stopped responding and the machine threw a code M3204 (looks like no coms with bobcat controller or something similar) Checked the harness and it looked OK. re-seated plugs on throttle unit on armrest - no joy. Ordered new throttle unit (hate throwing parts at something undiagnosed) Still no throttle response, but has not thrown code again. Any suggestions? Really don't want to haul it almost 200 miles to my nearest dealer. Thanks! Chris R

    Good day I suggest you begin with a wiring diagram, if you have one post it here we may be able to help you. Kind regards Uffex

    Don't have one, but it's just a short 3 wire cable jumping between the controller and the potentiometer throttle unit. Removed cable and checked with meter for continuity then reseated plugs. still no response.

    M3204 appears to be unrelated to engine issues, course no way to double check if it's not coding now. Is this a Bobcat / Doosan common rail engine? or Kubota mechanical injection?

    Its a Kubota, I think D902
