Brief Summary of Operation

Power Train System Basic Diagram (Simplified)

1. The transmission speed sensor magnetically measures ground speed.


2. The Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II) uses the signal from the transmission speed sensor to determine
when to shift. The EPTC II activates the solenoids to make shifts.

769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E Engi... Pgina 5 de 71

3. The input from the transmission speed sensor can be shared. The Cat Data Link connects the EPTC II with the Caterpillar
Monitoring System. The speed distributor shares the information with Automatic Electronic Traction Aid (AETA) and Truck
Payload Monitoring System (TPMS).
4. The body raise switch prevents REVERSE operation of the transmission during RAISE and LOWER operation of the body. The
body up switch triggers the gear limit function, limiting the speed of the machine while the body is up.
5. The secondary/parking brake switch and service/retarder brake switch are inputs to EPTC II. When the secondary/parking or
service/retarder brake switches are activated, the anti-hunt timer is deactivated. The service/retarder switch, when activated, will
make the shift speeds higher.
6. The shift lever switch selects desired speed and direction.
7. When an upshift or downshift solenoid is activated, it sends pressure oil to the rotary actuator, which turns the rotary selector
spool. This sequence causes a different pair (two) of clutches to be engaged for the next speed.
8. Transmission hydraulic controls individually (separately) control the time to engage (fill time) and disengage (release time) each
clutch and the maximum pressure in each clutch.
9. When the lockup solenoid is activated, pressure oil is sent to the modulation reduction valve of the lockup clutch valve. This sends
oil to engage the lockup clutch of the torque converter for direct drive.
10. The transmission switch tells EPTC II what gear the transmission is in. The transmission switch is turned by the rotary selector
spool.
11. The EPTC II sends a signal via the Cat Data Link to the Caterpillar Monitoring System and the gear is displayed on the
instrument panel.

General Description

NOTE: For more details on the electrical system, please see Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II) Service Manual;
SENR9122.

The power train is made up of four basic systems.

1. Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II).


2. Torque Converter.
3. Transfer Gears and Transmission.
4. Differential and Final Drives.

These four basic systems are connected to each other either electrically, hydraulically or mechanically. A basic diagram shows what
components are common to each system.

The operation of the power train begins at Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II) (electrical system). EPTC II gets
information of the selected speed of operation through the electrical system. The electrical system activates the hydraulic systems
(transmission and torque converter) through solenoids (upshift and downshift solenoids).

The solenoids (upshift and downshift) hydraulically activate the rotary actuator of the transmission. Movement of the rotary actuator
mechanically selects the position of the rotary selector spool. The flow through the rotary selector spool hydraulically activates the correct
valves in the pressure control group, to engage the correct transmission clutches. This mechanically connects the transmission input shaft to
the output shaft and the differential. The transmission will not drive the output shaft unless there is power flow through the torque converter
(either hydraulically or mechanically).

The torque converter drives the transmission hydraulically, unless the lockup clutch is activated. When the lockup solenoid is activated, the
lockup clutch is hydraulically engaged. The rotating (input) housing of the torque converter is now mechanically connected to the output
shaft of the torque converter. The drive shaft mechanically connects the torque converter to the transfer gears. The transfer gears are
mechanically connected to the transmission.

After the transmission and torque converter are connected, power can now be supplied from the engine (through the transmission and
torque converter) to the differential. The rear axles mechanically connect the differential to the final drives. When the transmission is in the
correct speed position, the mechanical movement of the rotary selector spool causes the transmission switch to electrically signal the
transmission control that the shift is complete. With the rotation of the output shaft of the transmission, the transmission speed sensor
electrically signals the transmission control that the machine has moved.

Manual Shift Procedure


During troubleshooting it is sometimes necessary to shift the transmission. This is done by turning the rotary selector spool when the
engine is off.

NOTICE
To prevent possible damage to the flexible coupling, never manually
shift the transmission by rotating the flexible coupling for the
transmission switch.

1. Remove the plug from the transmission case.

2. Install a 9S-1721 Extension [.25 (1/4) inch square drive] 101.6 mm (4.00 in) long in the end of the rotary selector spool. Install a 9U-
6635 Reversible Ratchet on the extension.

3. Move the ratchet clockwise (toward the rear of the machine) until the rotary selector spool will not turn any more. This is NEUTRAL
position.

4. From NEUTRAL position, turn the ratchet counterclockwise (toward the front of the machine) through all detent positions of the rotary
selector spool. The positions from NEUTRAL are REVERSE, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH and SEVENTH
speeds respectively.

NOTE: There is approximately 30 of rotation between each detent of the rotary selector spool.

Ratchet And Extension Installed In The Rotary Selector Spool

Neutral Coasting
This function restricts coasting into NEUTRAL from high speeds. This restriction extends transmission life. The transmission speed sensor
measures the rotation of gear teeth (on a gear fastened to the output shaft of the transmission) near (past) the transmission speed sensor.
Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II) uses this input to determine the ground speed. If the measured speed is greater
than 5 mph, the transmission will not shift into NEUTRAL.

NOTE: It is possible for the operator to bypass the neutral coast restriction. However, if the ground speed is greater than 10 mph and the
transmission is in NEUTRAL, the event will be recorded in the Caterpillar Monitoring System.

Adjustment For Hoist Control Linkage


The hoist control linkage must be correctly adjusted when the machine is equipped with a transmission neutralizer.

The transmission on this machine will neutralize when the transmission


shift lever is in REVERSE and the hoist control lever is in either RAISE
or LOWER position. The neutralizer will not stop the machine from
rolling. Use the brakes to stop. Make reference to WARNING on the
first page of Hydraulic System Testing And Adjusting section.

Hoist Control Lever In The FLOAT Position


(1) Hoist control lever. (2) Dimension [362 mm (14.25 in) from the top of cab floor plate without floor mat].

If the truck has a transmission neutralizer and the transmission does not go from REVERSE to NEUTRAL when hoist control lever (1) is
moved to either the RAISE or LOWER position, a linkage adjustment may be necessary. An electric failure in the neutralizer switch or
wires may also be the cause.

Hoist control lever (1) is located to the left of the operator's seat. Dimension (2) must be 362 mm (14.25 in) from the top of the cab floor
without the floor mat, to the bottom of the handle when the lever is in the FLOAT position. If the measurement for dimension (2) is not
correct, the control linkage needs an adjustment.

Control Linkage Adjustment

769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E Engi... Pgina 8 de 71

Control Linkage Rods


(3) Rod [from the shaft for the hoist control lever in the cab]. (4) Rod [to the lever on the control valve in the hydraulic tank]. (5) Rod end.

1. Loosen the locknut on the end of rod (3) and remove the pin from rod end (5).

2. If the measurement for dimension (2) is too much, turn rod end (5) in the direction to make rod (3) longer. Make the length of rod (3)
shorter if the measurement for dimension (2) is not enough. Measurements are done in a straight line between the centers of the rod end pin
holes and the centers of the yoke pin holes.

The length for rod (3) is approximately 1195 mm (47.0 in). The length of rod (4) is 1185 mm (46.7 in).

Body Raise Switch Adjustment

Located In The Cab


(6) Lockscrew. (7) Yoke. (8) Switch. (9) Lower roller. (10) Lever.

Before adjusting the location of the body raise switch, make sure the hoist control linkage dimensions are correct.

1. Remove the four bolts which hold the switch cover to the inside wall of the cab. Remove the cover from over the switch.

2. Move hoist control lever to the FLOAT position.

3. Lower roller (9) on yoke (7) must be near but not against the short lever (10) between the two rollers on the yoke.

4. If an adjustment to the position of yoke (7) is necessary, move the hoist control lever to the FLOAT position. Loosen lockscrew (6) in
yoke (7).

5. Yoke (7) is splined to the shaft of switch (8). Remove yoke (7). Rotate and reinstall yoke (7) so that lower roller (9) is close to but not
against lever (10). Tighten lockscrew (6) and install covers.

6. If this does not work, make the length of rod (3) either longer or shorter until the lower roller on yoke (9) is very near the short lever
when hoist control lever is in the FLOAT position.

NOTE: When rod (3) is made longer, be sure hoist control lever can be easily moved to the LOWER position.

Troubleshooting The Power Train

Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or


near the machine. To prevent possible injury, do the procedure that
follows before troubleshooting the power train.

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and personnel. Put the transmission shift lever in
NEUTRAL position. Engage the parking and secondary brakes. Stop the engine.

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 25/02/2012
769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E Engi... Pgina 9 de 71

2. Permit only two people in the cab (one operator and a service person). The machine operator must only operate the machine as told by
the service person. The service person will look at all lights (LED's) or gauges. Keep all other personnel either away from the machine or in
view of the operator.

3. Make sure the transmission rotary selector spool is in NEUTRAL position.

For locations of components and electrical connectors, see the Electrical Schematic, SENR8609. For hydraulic components or pressure tap
locations see the Torque Converter and Transmission Hydraulic Troubleshooting sections in this module.

Visual Checks are the first steps when troubleshooting a problem. The visual checks will find the problems that can be more quickly
corrected. If the visual checks do not show any problems, the Operational Checks are the next steps to follow. The operational checks will
permit the identification of possible problems with the machine during operation.

Visual Checks
Perform visual checks first when troubleshooting a problem. Make the checks with the engine stopped. Place the shift lever in NEUTRAL
and the transmission rotary selector spool in Neutral. Engage the parking brake.

Check A

Inspect the oil levels in the transmission oil tank and hydraulic oil tank.

NOTE: Many problems in the power train are caused by low oil level or air in the oil. If the engine has not been started and run for several
minutes, this oil level check will make sure there is oil in the transmission and the engine can be started. If the machine has sat overnight or
longer without the engine running, the oil level will be high. An accurate oil level check can be made after the oil is hot.

Check B

Inspect all oil lines, hoses and connections for damage or leaks. Look for oil on the ground under the machine.

NOTE: If oil can leak out of a fitting or connection, air can leak in. Air in the system can be as bad as not enough oil.

Check C

Inspect the transmission control fuse, harnesses and electrical connectors (refer to the Electrical Schematic; SENR8609).

With the key switch and disconnect switch OFF, check the 10 ampere fuse for the transmission. If the fuse is open (broken or missing
filament) replace it.

Inspect the electrical harnesses for damaged or broken wires. Disconnect each connector and look for bent, broken or pulled out (removed)
pins and sockets. Also look for any foreign material inside the connectors. The connectors must be tightened with normal force. They must
also disconnect with the same amount of force.

Check D

Check the batteries. Turn the disconnect switch ON. Listen for the secondary steering motor to run for around 3 seconds. If the secondary
steering motor fails to run, inspect the starting and charging system before Visual Check E.

Check E

Inspect transmission oil filter, magnetic screen and suction, parking brake release oil filter and torque converter oil filter.

NOTE: Parking brake release oil filter, transmission oil filter and torque converter oil filter each have an oil filter bypass valve. An oil
filter bypass valve lets oil bypass (go around) the oil filter element(s) whenever the pressure difference between inlet oil and outlet oil at
the oil filter gets too high. Any oil that does not go through the filter element(s) goes directly into the hydraulic circuit. Dirty oil causes
restrictions in valve orifices, sticking valves, etc.

The pressure setting of the bypass valve in the parking brake release oil filter, the torque converter oil filter, and the transmission oil filter is
approximately 250 kPa (36 psi).

If any contamination is found in the filter elements or screens all components of the transmission (power train) hydraulic system must be
cleaned. Do not use any damaged parts. Any damaged parts must be removed and new parts installed.

Check F

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 25/02/2012
769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E E... Pgina 10 de 71

Check Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II). See SENR9122 for procedures.

Operational Checks
The operational checks that follow are designed to educate (train) the service personnel in a correct troubleshooting procedure and method.
The checks and procedures are set in a sequence to find most problem(s) and/or probable cause(s) quickly.

These operational checks must be done in order, starting with Check 1. Do not go to the next check until either the problem in the previous
check has been corrected, or instructed to do so. If the correct result for the check is found, as instructed in the procedure, go directly to the
next check (or procedure for the trained service personnel).

Take note of all WARNINGS and NOTICES in these checks. Never start the next check until you read and understand the warnings or
notices.

The checks that follow can be used to find many of the problems that will be found during the operation of the machine. These checks will
also give an indication of the system in which the problems can be found.

Machine Preparation For Checks

1. Engage the parking brake. Be sure the shift lever is in NEUTRAL and the transmission rotary selector spool is in NEUTRAL position.

2. Check all fluid levels on the machine (engine oil, engine coolant, hydraulic oil, differential, transmission, etc.). See 769D & 771D
Operation And Maintenance Manual; SEBU6902 to determine the correct oils to use. Fill if necessary.

NOTE: The oil levels can be above the FULL mark at this time. With the engine running, both transmission and torque converter oil must
be at the normal temperature for operation.

3. The engine must be STOPPED. Do not start the engine until told differently.

4. The tachometer must be at zero rpm.

Some of the checks that follow must be done with the machine in
operation. A trained machine operator will be needed. Whenever the
engine is in operation, the machine operator must be in the cab with the
parking and service brakes ENGAGED until told differently.

Lockup Clutch And Solenoid Valve Check

Check 1.

This check determines if:

The electrical signal gets to the lockup solenoid. The lockup solenoid electrically activates.

Procedure:

1. Disconnect the cab harness plug from EPTC II and disconnect the harness connector for the LOCKUP solenoid. Put a jumper wire from
Socket 1 to Socket 5 of the cab harness plug (for the transmission control). This will supply + 24 Volts through the machine harness to
actuate the lockup solenoid.

2. Turn on the key start switch. Do not start the engine.

3. Touch the lockup solenoid chassis harness connector to the lockup solenoid.

4. Each time the connector touches the solenoid a "click" and/or "buzz" must be felt and/or heard.

Problem 1:

The "click" and/or "buzz" is not felt or heard.

Probable Cause:

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 25/02/2012
769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E E... Pgina 11 de 71

a. Bad lockup solenoid.


b. Broken (open or grounded) wire or harness to the lockup solenoid.

Check 2:

This check determines if:

The lockup clutch pressure is correct.

Procedure:

1. Disconnect the upshift solenoid and downshift solenoid harness connectors.

2. The transmission shift lever must be in NEUTRAL and the transmission rotary selector spool must be in the NEUTRAL position.

3. Using two 2-pin sure seal connectors and two 16-gauge wires (approximately 4.5 m (15 ft) long), make a jumper harness. Connect one of
the ends of the jumper harness to the harness for the downshift solenoid. This will supply + 24 Volts because the downshift solenoid
remains activated when the transmission is in NEUTRAL.

4. Connect a 4000 kPa (600 psi) pressure gauge to the pressure tap for the lockup clutch.

Pressure Tap For Lockup Clutch

5. Start and run the engine at LOW IDLE. Connect the other end of the jumper harness to the harness for the lockup solenoid. The pressure
on the gauge must read 1725 70 kPa (250 10 psi).

Problem 1:

The pressure on the gauge is 0 kPa (0 psi) at all times.

Probable Cause:

See Troubleshooting The Torque Converter Hydraulic System. Do Lockup Clutch Checks.

Problem 2:

The pressure on the gauge is not 0 kPa (0 psi) when the lockup solenoid is not activated.

Probable Cause:

See Troubleshooting The Torque Converter Hydraulic System. Perform Lockup Clutch Checks.

769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E E... Pgina 12 de 71

Problem 3:

The pressure on the gauge is not correct when the solenoid is activated.

Probable Cause:

See Troubleshooting The Torque Converter Hydraulic System. Perform Lockup Clutch Checks.

Transmission and Transmission Control Check

Check 3.

This check determines if:

* The transmission switch operates and is installed (timed) correctly.


* The transmission clutches engage.
* The Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II) operates.

Procedure:

1. Disconnect all electrical harness connectors from the upshift, downshift and lockup solenoids. Start and run the engine at LOW IDLE.

2. Engage the parking brakes and service brakes. The front brake ON-OFF valve on the instrument panel must be ON.

3. Do the shift sequence that follows for REVERSE and each FORWARD speed (FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH
and SEVENTH).

NOTICE
Check the brake oil temperature gauge regularly. Do not let the brake
(torque converter and hoist hydraulic) oil temperature get too hot
during this shift sequence. This can cause damage to the brakes, torque
converter and hoist hydraulic system. The brake and torque converter
oil temperature indicator on the instrument panel, and the master
action lamp will flash when the temperature is too hot to operate in this
condition. When the brake (torque converter) oil temperature gets too
hot, put the transmission in NEUTRAL and run the engine at
approximately 1500 rpm until the temperature returns to the normal
operating range.

Shift Sequence:

a. Manually rotate the transmission rotary selector spool to the desired speed. After the manual shift is made, move away from the machine.

b. Gradually increase engine rpm to approximately 1300 rpm or until the machine starts to pull through the brakes, whichever happens
first.

c. Look at the rear end of the drive shaft. When there is correct transmission clutch operation, only a small amount of rotation (less than one
complete turn) will be seen, except in NEUTRAL. If the machine starts to pull through the brakes before 1300 rpm, there is no need to look
at the drive shaft.

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 25/02/2012
769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E E... Pgina 13 de 71

d. Decrease the engine rpm to LOW IDLE. Shift to the next speed position. Do Steps a, b, and c of the shift sequence again. This will help
in the identification of a slipping (partially engaged) clutch. Continue this sequence for the remainder of the speeds until SEVENTH speed
is made.

Problem 1:

The machine starts to creep (move) forward before engine rpm gets to 1300 rpm.

Probable Cause:

Brake System. See Air System And Brakes, SENR8616.

Problem 2:

The drive shaft does NOT turn in NEUTRAL.

Probable Cause:

See Troubleshooting The Torque Converter Hydraulic System. Perform Visual Checks.

Problem 3:

When a shift is made to REVERSE or any FORWARD speed, the engine stops running.

Probable Cause:

See Troubleshooting The Torque Converter Hydraulic System. Perform Visual Checks.

Problem 4:

The drive shaft turns in one or more speeds other than NEUTRAL, but the wheels do not turn. (Clutch or clutches not engaging in
transmission.)

Probable Cause:

See Troubleshooting The Transmission Hydraulic System. Perform Visual Checks.

Problem 5:

The transmission will not stay in the manually shifted (selected) speed position. Manual shifts are hard in any direction (upshift or
downshift).

Probable Cause:

Solenoid Leakage:

* shifts to higher speed from the selected shift (bad upshift solenoid).

* shifts to lower speed from the selected shift (bad downshift solenoid).

Torque Converter Hydraulic System Troubleshooting

Basic Diagram For Power Train System

The troubleshooting for the torque converter hydraulic system is divided into four sections: torque converter, lockup clutch, hoist and brake
cooling. The reason for this division is to save time and make it easier to find the correct troubleshooting information.

Make reference to the following warning and pressure tap locations for all checks and tests. If the problem area (torque converter, lockup
clutch, hoist or brake cooling) is not known, perform the checks and tests in the order they are given. For all tests, the oil must be at normal
temperature of operation.

Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under pressure can


cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To prevent possible
injury, perform the procedure that follows before testing and adjusting
the torque converter.

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and personnel.

2. Put the transmission shift lever in NEUTRAL position. Engage the parking brake. Stop the engine.

3. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel either away from the machine or in view of the operator.

Troubleshooting An Overheated Hydraulic System

Instrument Panel
(1) Brake oil temperature gauge. (2) Brake and torque converter oil temperature alert indicator.

An overheating problem in the hydraulic system will probably be seen first through the Caterpillar Monitoring System. Brake oil
temperature gauge (1) and brake and torque converter oil temperature alert indicator (2) get input from two sensors. There is a sensor
located in the torque converter outlet valve and a sensor located in the brake oil cooling tube.

NOTICE
Check the brake oil temperature gauge (1) regularly. Do not allow the
brake oil, torque converter oil and hoist hydraulic oil temperature to
get too hot during this test sequence. This can cause damage to the
brakes, the torque converter, and the hoist hydraulic system. Brake
and torque converter oil temperature alert indicator (2) is on the
instrument panel, and the master action light is located to the right of
the speedometer and RPM gauge. They will activate when the
temperature is too hot to operate in this condition. If the alert
indicators come on, reduce the load on the machine or slow retarding
speed. Move the machine to a convenient place to park and keep the
engine operating. Move the manual retarder lever all the way down to
cool the oil.

Brake Oil Temperature Gauge


(A) Temperature reading of 110C (230F). (B) Temperature reading of 124C (255F).

Problem 1:

Brake oil temperature gauge (1) indicates that the oil temperature is too hot. The master action light and brake and torque converter oil
temperature alert indicator (2) on the instrument panel is OFF.

Probable Cause:

Electrical system. See 769D & 771D Truck Electrical System Schematic; SENR8609.

Problem 2:

Brake oil temperature gauge (1) indicates that the oil temperature is NOT too hot. The master action light and brake and torque converter
oil temperature alert indicator (2) is ON.

NOTE: Brake and torque converter oil temperature alert indicator (2) activates at approximately 124C (255F). The indicator stays
activated until the oil temperature decreases to approximately 110C (230F). Therefore, it is possible for the brake oil temperature gauge
(1) to indicate that oil temperature is NOT too hot while the brake and torque converter oil temperature alert indicator (2) is activated.

Probable Cause:

Electrical system. See 769D & 771D Truck Electrical System Schematic; SENR8609.

Problem 3:

Brake oil temperature gauge (1) indicates that the oil temperature is too hot. Brake and torque converter oil temperature alert indicator (2)
is activated.

Probable Cause:

Improper operation of the machine.

Reference: See the Operation & Maintenance Manual for 769D & 771D Truck; SEBU6902 for correct operating techniques of the brake
and retarder system.

Operate the machine again. Make sure that engine rpm does not get below 1700 rpm. This will make sure enough oil flows through the
torque converter and brake oil coolers to keep the oil at normal operating temperature.

Problem 4:

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 25/02/2012
769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E E... Pgina 23 de 71

The conditions in Problem 3 are still identical after the machine is operated correctly.

Probable Cause:

A restriction in the brake oil cooling system.

To determine if there is a restriction in the cooling system, remove the cover from the makeup oil tank of the brake hydraulic system.

Example Of Oil Flow At Low Idle rpm

Start and operate the engine at LOW IDLE rpm in NEUTRAL. There must be a constant flow of oil from the inlet tube into the brake
makeup oil tank.

Example Of Oil Flow At High Idle rpm

Increase engine rpm to HIGH IDLE. The oil flow must increase as shown.

(6) Rear brake oil cooler relief valve.

If oil flow is not as shown for LOW IDLE and HIGH IDLE, the cause could be:

* Failure of the hoist and rear brake cooling oil pump (3), parking brake release oil pump section (4), torque converter charging oil
pump section (5). Perform Visual Checks For The Hydraulic System in this module.
* Rear brake oil cooler relief valve (6) pressure is set too low. Bench test rear brake oil cooler relief valve (6) located in the hydraulic
tank, to determine if the pressure setting is correct.
* Restriction in the hose assembly from the hydraulic tank to the brake makeup oil tank.

Visual Checks For The Hydraulic System Which Includes Torque Converter, Brake
Cooling, And Hoist Hydraulic Systems
Make reference to the WARNING on the first page of the Hydraulic System, Testing And Adjusting section.

Perform the Visual Checks first before troubleshooting a problem. Make the checks with the engine OFF and the parking brakes engaged.
Move the transmission shift lever into NEUTRAL. During these checks, use a magnet to separate ferrous particles from non-ferrous
particles such as O-ring seals, aluminum, and bronze.

The following visual checks are a part of the Troubleshooting section:

Check 1. Oil level in the hydraulic tank.

Check 2. Leakage.

Check 3. Parking brake release oil filter.

Check 4. Torque converter oil filter.

Check 5. Torque converter scavenge screen.

Check 6. Oil cooler screens.

Check 7. Parts inside the hydraulic tank.

Check 8. Inspect return oil screen.

Check 1:

Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank. Look for air or water in the oil at the sight gauge. Many problems in the torque converter are
caused by low oil level or air in the oil. Add oil to the hydraulic tank if it is needed. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual;
SEBU6902 to determine the proper oil to use.

Problem 1:

The oil level is too high.

Probable Cause:

The rear seal of the engine crankshaft is allowing engine oil into the torque converter cover.

NOTE: Parking brake release oil filter (2) and torque converter oil filter (1) each have an oil filter bypass valve. An oil filter bypass valve
lets oil bypass the oil filter element whenever the pressure difference between inlet oil and outlet oil at the oil filter gets too high. Any oil
that does not flow through the filter element, flows directly into the hydraulic circuit. Dirty oil causes restrictions in valve orifices, sticking
valves, etc.

The pressure setting of the bypass valve in torque converter oil filter (1) and parking brake release oil filter (2) is approximately 250 kPa
(36 psi).

769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E E... Pgina 50 de 71

Hydraulic System Troubleshooting.

Perform Visual Checks first when troubleshooting a problem. Make the checks with the engine stopped and the parking brakes engaged.
Put the transmission shift lever and transmission rotary selector spool in NEUTRAL. During these checks, use a magnet to separate ferrous
particles from non-ferrous particles (O-ring seals, aluminum, etc.).

Check 1:

Check the oil level in the transmission oil tank. Look for air or water in the oil (through the sight gauge). Many problems in the
transmission are caused by low oil level or air in the oil. Add oil to the transmission oil tank if it is needed. See 769D & 771D Operation
And Maintenance Manual; SEBU6902 to determine the correct oil to use.

Inner Right Side Of Main Frame


(1) Transmission oil filter.

NOTE: There is an oil filter bypass valve on the inlet side of the transmission oil filter. The oil filter bypass will open and let oil bypass
(go around) the oil filter element whenever the pressure difference between inlet oil and outlet oil through the oil filter gets above 250 kPa
(36 psi). Any oil that does not go through the filter element goes directly into the hydraulic circuit. Dirty oil will cause restrictions in valve
orifices, sticking valves, etc.

Problem 1:

The oil level is too high.

Probable Cause:

Differential and bevel gear oil leaks into the transmission case because of:

a. Failure of pinion seal in differential.


b. Center plug of differential pinion is not installed or leaks.

Problem 2:

There is an indication of water in the oil.

Probable Cause:

Failure of the transmission oil cooler.

Problem 3:

There is an indication of air in the oil.

Probable Cause:

Perform Visual Check 2.

Problem 4:

The oil level is too low.

Probable Cause:

Perform Visual Check 2.

Check 2:

769D Off-Highway Truck 5TR00001-00504 (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408E E... Pgina 51 de 71

Inspect all oil lines, hoses, and connections for damage or leaks. Look for oil on the ground under the machine.

NOTE: If oil can leak out of a fitting or connection, air can leak in. Air in the system can be as bad as not enough oil.

Check 3:

Inner Right Side Of Main Frame


(1) Transmission oil filter.

Remove and inspect (cut apart if necessary) transmission oil filter (1) for foreign material.

Problem 1:

Problem 3:

Iron or steel chips are found.

Probable Cause:

Broken components in transfer gears or transmission.

Problem 4:

Aluminum particles are found.

Probable Cause:

Worn housings, load pistons or selector pistons in the pressure control group.

Check 5:

Drain Plug For Transmission Case

Remove the plug from the bottom of the transmission case. This will drain all the oil out of the transmission and transfer gears. Measure
the total amount of oil removed. Inspect the oil for foreign material.

Problem 1:

More than 26 liters (7 U.S. gal) of oil is drained from the transmission and transfer gears.

Probable Cause:

Bottom Of Transfer Gear Case


(2) Magnetic screen (behind cover).

a. Restriction in magnetic screen (2).


b. Failure of the scavenge section of the transmission oil pump.
c. Too much leakage in a clutch or clutches of the transmission.

Problem 2:

Rubber particles are found.

Probable Cause:

Seal failure.

7. Make sure all hydraulic pressure is released before any fitting, hose or component is loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.

8. Remove both drive axles from the machine.

9. Make sure the test cover is installed on the transmission case before any tests are done.

Procedure To Manually Shift The Transmission With The Engine Running (Drive Axles Removed)

This procedure will save time when the transmission is tested. Instead of the use of the transmission shift lever in the operator's station,
shifts can be made down on the transmission.

1. Make sure the transmission shift lever is in NEUTRAL position.

2. Disconnect the wiring harness from the upshift solenoid, the downshift solenoid and the lockup solenoid.

Ratchet And Extension Installed In The Rotary Selector Spool

3. With the engine stopped, remove the plug (for the rotary selector spool) from the left side of the transmission case.

4. Use the .25 (1/4) inch square drive extension and ratchet to turn the transmission rotary selector spool. When the ratchet is turned
clockwise as far as it will go, rotary selector spool (5) is in NEUTRAL position. The order of detent positions from NEUTRAL is
REVERSE and FIRST through SEVENTH speeds respectively.

Procedure:

NOTE: If FT1874 Transmission Test Cover is used, a gauge can be installed at pressure tap (M) to check pilot pressure. If 6V-6064
Transmission Test Cover is used, make sure the plug is installed at pressure tap (M).

1. Remove the solenoid guard and large cover from the top of the transmission case. Install FT1874 Transmission Test Cover in place of
the large cover. Use four bolts to hold the test cover in position.

Alternate Step 1. Remove small cover from large cover and install 6V-6064 Transmission Test Cover in place of the small cover. Use four
nuts to hold the test cover in position.

Differential And Final Drives Troubleshooting

Basic Diagram For Power Train System

Visual Checks
Use these Visual Checks as a guide to troubleshooting a problem. Make the checks with the engine OFF and the parking brakes ON.
During these checks, use a magnet to separate ferrous particles from non-ferrous particles (O-ring seals, bronze, etc.).

Check 1:

Remove the fill plug and check the oil level in each final drive. Make sure that the drain plug is down (in its lowest position) as shown,

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 25/02/2012

when the oil level is checked. Check for oil leakage on the rear tires and wheels. See 769D & 771D Operation And Maintenance Manual;
SEBU6902 to determine the correct oil to use if filling is necessary.

Drain Plug And Fill Plug For A Final Drive

Problem 1:

The oil level in a final drive is too high. The oil level in the hydraulic oil tank is too low.

Probable Cause:

Brake cooling oil leaks into final drive. Failure of small Duo-Cone seal at the rear wheel brake. Drain final drive and add new oil after a
new seal is installed.

Problem 2:

The oil level in a final drive is too low.

Probable Cause:

Failure of O-ring seal on final drive housing.

Check 2:

Remove the fill plug and check the oil level in the rear axle housing. Check for leakage under the housing. See 769D & 771D Operation
And Maintenance Manual; SEBU6902 to determine the correct oil to use if filling is necessary.

Drain Plug And Fill Plug For Rear Axle Housing

Problem 1:

The oil level in the rear axle housing is too high. The oil level in a final drive was too high also (Check 1).

Probable Cause:

Failure of small Duo-Cone seal at the rear wheel brake. Drain rear axle housing and add new oil after a new seal is installed.

Problem 2:

The oil level in the rear axle housing is too low. The oil level in the transmission oil tank is too high.

Probable Cause:

Differential and bevel gear oil leaks into the transmission case.

a. Failure of pinion seal in differential.


b. Center plug of differential pinion is not installed or leaks.

Problem 3:

The oil level in the rear axle housing is too low.

Probable Cause:

Failure of large Duo-Cone seal at the rear wheel brake is causing oil to leak to the ground. Drain rear axle housing and add new oil after a
new seal is installed.

Check 3:

Drain both final drives. Remove the covers to inspect for damaged gears, bearings, etc.

Check 4:

Drain the rear axle housing of differential and bevel gear oil. Remove the fill plug and check the bevel gear and pinion for damage. Look in
the bottom of the rear axle housing for metal chips. Lift one rear wheel of the machine off the ground. Turn the wheel forward and
backward to check the backlash (free movement) in the differential. See the "Specifications" for the correct amount of backlash.
