   TL150 is close enough?

   Thanks. I’ll take a look at this. Having an issue where machine will start and run approx 5 seconds and shuts off. Trying to figure out the cause and how to fix

   At key on, do all idiot lights light? Pause til out, then start. Which idiot lights are on just before stall out?

   These two lights flash and then machine shuts down

   First, your machine is responding to the engine protection system. Verify coolant level is all the way up to filler neck on radiator. If level isn't all the way up, top off and retry. If level is all the way up, unplug this connector and make a jumper to ground from the machine harness connector. This will effectively bypass the coolant level sensor, leaving the engine temperature and oil pressure safeties online.

   Will try. Coolant is good and all other fluids. Thought maybe an oil sensor possibly

   I've had nothing but issues with the coolant level sensor in my TL150, TB180FR, and TB53FR machines. If grounding the harness plug works, I simply cut the wire off at the sensor, put a ring eye terminal on it, and bolt that wire to ground. I've never had to replace an oil pressure sender yet, and some have over 10k hours. Grounding the coolant level sensor still leaves temperature and pressure protection features working. Does grounding that wire on yours work?

   Im having the same exact problem with my TL130 and ive already tried making a jumper to ground

   Couple of days later (my next day off) went to start checking things again and machine ran great like nothing ever happened ….

    Did you get yours figured out?

11. #11zanefair2023-11-15 21:32

    Is it still good or did you find a problem?
