CAT Dozers and Newer Topcon Systems

Hi Team! We have had a dozer in the past that had blade bounce issues that we could not pin down the root-cause for. Dozer had a KTW prefix. No codes would appear but anytime the Topcon is engaged the blade would become erratic. Topcon replaced all of their sensors, and their hardware and issues still occurred. When Topcon was turned off, the 2D side on CAT system worked fine and blade worked well. Many thought the ECM was fine/not the issue, but has anyone seen issues where the implement ECM or software caused this incompatibility? What also was odd is it worked on other 6s with a different implement ECM and software but not this specific one. Please, if you've experienced this issue or others relating to Topcon systems, especially newer systems and CAT dozers, your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

    Have you contacted CAT to see if in their controls? Just a thought.

    CAT was contacted on this. Was an odd phantom issue that we believe was an issue somewhere in the software communication between Topcon and CAT. Appreciate the input. Thanks!
