Hello everyone, I am thrilled to have discovered these forum discussions. I have come across a few threads addressing a similar issue, but I am still in need of more assistance. I manage an Ace rental business that utilizes a Bobcat T-190 excavator. Recently, I removed the heat shield/exhaust manifold to address some cracks by welding them. Additionally, I changed the oil and hydro filter. However, upon trying to restart the excavator, I encountered a problem - it wouldn't fire up and displayed code 14-03, indicating a Fuel Shut off hold solenoid short to ground. I have tried recharging the battery and cleaning all ground connections, but I am unable to locate the visible fuel solenoid shut off. Where should I begin my search? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
After conducting an ohm test on the solenoid, I measured a range of 0.6-0.8 on one leg and 23.8-24 on the other. I then repeated the test on our Bobcat skid steer, with readings of 0.5-0.6 and 23.0-23.2 on each leg. Does this indicate a faulty solenoid?
If the solenoid is disconnected and you are still experiencing the same issue, there may be a problem within the wiring harness. This could be the root cause of the ongoing issue you are facing.
I recently transferred the solenoid from our T-175 to the 430, but it still won't start and the same code is appearing. This indicates that the issue is not with the solenoid. Are there any specific problems I should be searching for in the harness? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
If your vehicle suddenly loses power, check for any blown fuses. A short circuit can cause a fuse to blow, so inspect visible wiring for any signs of damage or chafing. This can help locate the issue and prevent further damage to your car's electrical system.
Prior to further troubleshooting, it's essential to inspect your fuses and relays. This step is crucial in ensuring proper functionality and preventing potential issues. Make sure to thoroughly check these components before proceeding with any other diagnostic measures.
Answer: - The fuel shut off solenoid on a Bobcat T-190 excavator is typically located near the fuel injection pump. It may be necessary to refer to the equipment manual or consult a professional for specific guidance.
Answer: - To troubleshoot this issue, you can start by checking the wiring connections for any damage or corrosion. Additionally, testing the solenoid for proper functionality and checking the ground connections can help identify and resolve the problem.
Answer: - If your excavator won't start and displays code 14-03, it is important to first ensure the battery is fully charged. Next, inspect the fuel shut off solenoid, check the wiring connections, and clean any ground connections to address the issue. If needed, seek assistance from a professional technician.
