Hydraulic Temperature Creep / High Fan
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Proportional Hydraulic Fan Drive Solenoid (Y347) Short to Ground.
ACTION: Measure fan solenoid coil resistance (~24Ω). Inspect harness routing along the engine compartment wall for chafing or melted wire insulation.
Red Seal field insights
Thermal Safety: Fail-safe logic forces the hydraulic fan pump to maximum displacement if the solenoid signal drops out, preventing oil degradation during heavy auger operations.
