Cat 277 C2 skid steer level 3 alarm

JFlorey ยท 2016-03-07 19:31

We have a 277 C2 Cat skid steer, that is putting out a level 3 ! Alarm. Sometimes when going forward or reverse it will lock up on the right side but only on occasion. Also it takes a bit of time before it starts with the alarm. If anyone could help, much appreciated!

    From my experience, Moisture or a poor connection going to your track drive sensor. The sensor goes in the back of the final. It could be bad sensor but i doubt it. The connector for the sensor is run along the hudraulic hoses between the frame and the final. Can develope a break in the wires which will do this intermittently, real pain. They are deutch connectors, they should with stand a 10lb pull test. There is also a dead end connector under the cab on the right side below the fuses that started giving us problems when we pressure washed it. Not sure what it is for but thats where we chased it to when we were having issues right after washing. Lately mine has been on a little benge of randomly throwing a level three and jerking me back and forth. Been fighting through it which is a pain, i need to go thought the connectors and put dielectric grease on them and try that. FYI mine is a 299c but should be the same as yours with respect to your problem.
