Procedimientos de mantenimiento y resolución de problemas
The ELI system is made up of five components: the display, the
control module, the cab extension cable, the chassis extension
cable, and the sensor harness (See Page 5 for reference). This
maintenance and troubleshooting guide will help determine if
there is a problem with any of these five components.
1. Recommended Maintenance
Before beginning any troubleshooting, perform the following
maintenance procedures:
1.
Wipe the surface of the sensors. Keep the sensors clean
of excess grease and debris
2.
Check cables for chafing, tears or other damage.
3.
Make sure that all cable connections are secure.
4.
Check the sensor harness and chassis cable connectors for
loose or disconnected individual terminals (A-D), refer to
Section 2.D. for more information.
5.
Test ELI for proper operation:
a. Make sure the fifth wheel locks are open.
b. Turn on the ignition/power. The ELI display should
run through a short system check, shown by the brief
illumination of the three display icons
After the system check is complete, the yellow
"Ready to Couple" icon should be illuminated.
NOTE: If the display does not illuminate or an icon
other than the yellow "Ready to Couple" icon is
illuminated, proceed directly to Section 2.A. of the
Troubleshooting Procedures.
c. Lock the fifth wheel top plate using a Holland lock tester
(TF-TLN-5001). The green "Closed Lock" icon should
be illuminated to indicate a proper coupling. If the
green icon does not appear:
Open the locks with the lock tester and re-lock while
observing how quickly the handle and cam plate move
into position. If the mechanism is sluggish; lubricate
the cam, yoke tips and the handle according to the
procedures found in your fifth wheel owner's manual.
Relock the fifth wheel again while observing the
operation of the locking mechanism.
If the fifth wheel locking mechanism is operating
correctly and the green "Closed Lock" icon still does
not illuminate, proceed directly to Section 2.B.
