T190 New Owner Problem

[tnfarm]

I just bought a used T190 with 1080 hours. Used it approximately 20 hours and it was working fine when shut down at the end of the day. The next evening when i cranked it up within 20 seconds a continuous alarm sounded and a light noted overheat coolant but no code. I came back the next morning cranked the engine, no coolant code, alarm or light but within 30 seconds the hydraulic alarm sounded with a light and three repeated beeps. Talked with the dealer and they seemed to think the computer needed re-programed. Any thoughts or ideas, i usually do my own maintenance but this is very unusual. I have in the past disconnected the battery on my car to reset the computer, do you think this would work on the Bobcat? Thanks Tnfarm

Check the wiring connectors for corrosion and look for bad ground connections.

As previous post replied, check any wires/plugs leading to the temp sensor, oil sensor etc... I had problems with wires rubbed thru after years of use. Usually when wires are run over hard lines. Look for the obvious but expect hidden or broken wires within the harness. Good luck.
