Question 1

What does Bobcat fault code 04-14 mean?

Accepted Answer

04-14 (Engine / Oil): Engine Shuts Down Automatically in 30 Seconds Fix: LOGIC: Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Voltage Out of Range Low.

ACTION: Shut down immediately. Verify oil level on dipstick. Install mechanical gauge in oil galley (spec: >15 PSI at idle). If mechanical pressure is good, replace the 1-wire/2-wire pressure switch on the block.

Question 2

What does Bobcat fault code 05-14 mean?

Accepted Answer

05-14 (Hydraulics / Charge): Traction Locks Up / Warning Alarm Sounds Fix: LOGIC: Hydrostatic Charge Pressure Below Critical Shutdown Level.

ACTION: Install a 0–600 PSI mechanical gauge on the hydrostatic charge test port (must read >320 PSI at idle). Inspect hydraulic oil charge filter for collapse; test charge relief valve on tandem pump.

Question 3

What does Bobcat fault code 12-14 mean?

Accepted Answer

12-14 (Electrical): All Hydraulic Functions Locked Out Fix: LOGIC: Hydraulic Control Valve Lockout Solenoid Circuit Open.

ACTION: Measure safety valve solenoid coil resistance (~24Ω). Test safety console armrest micro-switch continuity pins under dash paneling.

Question 4

What does Bobcat fault code 15-03 mean?

Accepted Answer

15-03 (Braking / Traction): Parking Brake Won't Release / Beeps 3 Times Fix: LOGIC: Traction Lock Pull Solenoid Circuit Error Off (Fails to Energize).

Question 5

What does Bobcat fault code 32-34 mean?

Accepted Answer

32-34 (Controls / Joysticks): Hydraulics Paralyzed / "ACS" Warning on Dash Fix: LOGIC: Tilt Actuator Not in Neutral Position at Key-On.

ACTION: Connect scan tool or check cluster calibration screen. Inspect mechanical actuator linkage on the main control valve spool for binding or caked mud; re-zero joystick and linear spool actuators via static calibration.

Question 6

What does Bobcat fault code 32-40 mean?

Accepted Answer

32-40 (Safety / Interlock): Lift Arms Inoperative / Beeps Constantly Fix: LOGIC: Lift Handle / Foot Pedal Sensor Not in Neutral at Startup.

ACTION: Clean accumulated mud, rocks, and wood chips from beneath the foot pedals or joystick base pivots. Inspect pedal centering springs; run handle/pedal calibration routine in the cab display.

Question 7

What does Bobcat fault code 38-16 mean?

Accepted Answer

38-16 (Drivetrain / Speed): Machine Tracks Crooked / Two-Speed Disabled Fix: LOGIC: Left Drive Motor Wheel/Track Speed Sensor Signal Missing.

ACTION: Disconnect Hall-effect speed pickup at the left final drive motor housing. Measure 5V reference supply and ground; inspect sensor harness running along the track frame for rock impact or brush snags.

Question 8

What does Bobcat fault code 74-21 mean?

Accepted Answer

74-21 (Electrical): Hydraulics Locked / Seat Bar Light Out Fix: LOGIC: Seat Bar Sensor Signal Open Circuit.

ACTION: Check continuity of the magnetic hall-effect proximity sensor embedded in the seat bar hinge pivot frame. Adjust mechanical hinge alignment.

Question 9

What does Bobcat fault code 91-04 mean?

Accepted Answer

91-04 (Controls / Joysticks): Boom Swing Inoperative / Offset Bucket Dead Fix: LOGIC: Right Joystick Thumb Roller Offset Sensor Circuit Low.

ACTION: Check live sensor voltage on instrument display. Inspect mini-rocker potentiometer wiring running down inside the aluminum joystick tube; recalibrate boom offset sweep limits.

Question 10

What does Bobcat fault code C10D1-13 mean?

Accepted Answer

C10D1-13 (Drive / Hydrostatic): Machine Refuses to Move Forward / Limp Mode Fix: LOGIC: Drive Pump Forward Solenoid Valve Open Circuit.

ACTION: Access drive pump EDC (Electronic Displacement Control) solenoids between the pump and engine. Measure forward proportional coil resistance (~18–22Ω); inspect harness for heat damage near the DPF exhaust shield.
