Bobcat S185 Shuts Down

[MaddMason]

I own a 2005 Bobcat S185 with under 1,000 hours. When the machine is idling and at lower RPM settings the hydraulic pressure light comes on and code 05-14 displays. An audible alarm will come on and the machine will shut off automatically. It then takes a long time to start if I let this happen. If I throttle it up before it shuts down the light will go off after about 5-10 seconds and the code will go away. It seems to operate just fine. No loss of power and the hydraulics are quick and responsive. I replaced the pressure sensor under the hydraulic filter and checked the drive belt. Also, it is full of fluid with no leaks. Any ideas?

how low is your motor idling

How heavy of a hydraulic oil are you using and what are the temperatures in your area?

I don't have the digital display on the right hand side so I can't read rpm. It's just the factory setting. Throttle lever all the way down.

I'm using the Bobcat red hydraulic fluid rated for warmer temperatures. I'm in the South. It's about 80s and 90s when it started doing this about 3 weeks ago. Doesn't matter if the machine is hot or cold. Will do it when I first start it up for the day.

You should definetly get a Tachometer.
Can you read engine temp ?
Hydro Temp?
