Message: <blockquote data-quote="BC873G" data-source="post: 101514" data-attributes="member: 14887">Hey, you will have to use jumpers to get the feedback voltages from the actuators. I usually take a short length of bare wire to insert in the female socket side to attach a jumper to. Makes it easy to use multiple jumpers, one jumping between controller and actuator and the other to the DVM. You should still be able to see the voltages even if your machine throws the ACS code. I assume it happens on start up?RE: spool valves returning to center. With the actuator removed push in on the spool rod where the actuator attaches. There are springs on the rear (engine) side that will center the spools. They should move back to center as soon as you take pressure off the end. And, you did answer your question that the spools will be in the centered (neutral) position when the actuators are off. Re: swapping actuators, you mentioned in your first post that you removed the lower actuator. That is the actuator for lift but you had a 32-34 error which would be the error for the tilt actuator or the upper actuator. Just wanted to make sure you knew that the lower was lift and the upper is tilt. I am recalling that from memory so if I got wrong, ignore what I said. Swapping the plugs should give the same basic information. Slightly cleaner check if you actually move them. If the error code doesn't change after you move them I would put the newest actuator on the bottom. It's not bad replacing the upper actuator through the access panel with the control panel in place if you have to do it sometime. Of course, you have a track machine so you might not have good access through the side. I haven't worked on a track machine.Re: manual calibration, when you perform the manual calibration can you hear the actuators cycling? Seems like the manual calibration should at least get you going but not the same as having them calibrated by the dealer.Re: formatting, I think the editor we type our messages into is expecting you to use the HTML editor that is available when you edit your profile. I haven't been able to get that HTML editor to work for me. I type in a couple of HTML breaks after my paragraphs, e.g. "&ltbr/&gt". But have to basically cut and paste the text into that editor after hitting "preview" and then "back to edit" mode. It's screwy and maybe some else has an idea. I am also using a Mac. Will be interested to hear about what you discover. Hope it works out.</blockquote>
