Can anyone help me with a code on my 873 - its a 1999 model - giving me code 02-16 when I hold the light button down. It also gives me 3 beeps after about 20 minutes of running and the hyd bypass light comes on - I've replaced the hyd filter under the cab but still have the problem. I'm new at this forum and just got the machine. Second problem - at low engine speeds - makes a rattle under the seat when moving the levers. Thanks for any help - I have a manual but it has the older system in the manual! Gary

These filters are such a pain, they are basically hidden. If you don't know to look for one, you would have no idea it was even there. Generally they never get replaced because the owner doesn't know about them, they cause so many problems. If you have a parts manual you can generally find it if you know where to look.
You could call your dealer and ask if there are any suction line or case drain filters on your machine, if there are get them to tell you where they are located, if the spare parts people don't know, talk to the service section, they will be happy to help you out.

talked to the dealer, he said the 02-16 was a sender or a cable fault but also that the filter shuld be replaced. thanks for your help!

more info - after 3 hours of troubleshooting with a wiring diagram from the dealer - here's the result - 02-16 is hydraulic charge pressure filter not connected. wire 3430 goes to the back of the filter block and was disconnected. there are two sensors on the filter block - one for temp and one for filter pressure - it was the pressure one that came off.
