code issues

[beckett41]

I have a Bobcat S185 turbo skid steer with 500+ hours. The codes 5-14 and 5-15 keep sounding and shutting down the machine. I checked the wirering and ground and all appears to be in good shape. I changed the hydraulic oil and filter including the two inline filters. The oil was clean and there were no metal shavings in the oil. The machine starts and runs good for ten seconds then turns itself off like its suppose to. The machine was running fine prior to the alarm going off. I stopped and turned off the skid steer for a few hours when I returned to move the machine thats when I started getting the alarm and code warning. The machine will not do anything so I cant even get it load on trailer to take to dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm too lazy to look the codes up, but I'm guessing charge pressure low code? When you say runs fine, do the hydraulics work? If not, the drive belt blew off. If hydraulics work fine, bad sensor.

Thanks for the advice, I will check the sensor and get back with ya if it fixes the problem. Hydraulics did work fine prior to warning light going off, thanks again for the help.

One thing I should add as a word of caution. The sensors work off a 5 volt system, cars use this a lot too. If there is a problem with the 5 volt system, the controller can misinturbit the signal and throw a red herring code. The sensor incated by the code may be fine, there maybe a another bad sensor throwing the voltage off. This does not happen a lot, but if changing the sensor does not help, this maybe the problem If the machine actually had low charge pressure, the hydraulics would work like crap. Wow, this has to be new record for misspelled words in one post.

Solved problem. Thanks for all your help and input. It turned out to be the drive belt after all. The tention spring backed off and belt was not turning. Still intact just wasnt turning. Thanks again to bobcatdan for your help saved me lots of $$$$.
