Does anyone know how to reset a catepillar without a computer? I read online there is a pedal sequence to follow but it didn't work for me. The machine won't start, it just gives errors on the dash, the starter engages for a half second, then stops.
It would help greatly if we knew what machine model you were talking about, end even better if you gave a Serial Number to work with ...............
Th417c.. I know it's a telehandler, which is a different section, but I got no responses there. I'm guessing all catepillar machines have a similar computer and engine. Has anyone heard of this crippled mode where it won't start?
From your original post in the TH section you mentioned a 5826 Code. As far as I can see that relates to exhaust after-treatment. Does your TH have a Tier 4 engine in it..? If you don’t know then just give the Serial Number. I can figure it out from there. Where did you find the info that the 5826-15 Code was for fuel rail pressure..? Also take a photo of the dash panel showing what indicator lights are lit when the key is in the ON position and post it here.
Model: Cat TH417c Serial: JS3444 engine serial: c13 01182
I got that info (Fuel Rail Pressure) from a google search - not very reliable I know. It was giving a similar error code a month ago. Catepillar came out, said nothing was wrong, charge me $$$ and now it has happened again.
The Serial Number doesn't come up on the system. Can you snap a photo of the S/N plate please. I think I may have found a Service Manual with all the Diagnostic Codes in it, but 5826 does not appear. Any chance of getting the Code up again and snapping a photo of it..? From your photo of the panel, it appears as though you have major issues. At this minute it's looking awfully like a dealer job.
I will when I go over to the site shortly. I forgot to mention it is a grey market machine. There is a cross reference book the dealer uses. thanks!
