Problems
Mechanical problems with the vehicle can cause the SmarTrax controller to
not work properly. Before you start troubleshooting the system, trace all
hoses and wires to make sure that they are connected to the proper ports
and connectors. You can avoid many potential problems by making sure
that all wires and hoses are properly connected.
The following table lists some common mechanical problems and the
corrective action needed to fix the problem.
SPS Backwards The SPS has been calibrated
backwards.
Recalibrate the SPS
by resetting the left
center and right
positions.
Gain Diff High The calibration of the left
hydraulics was inconsistent
with the right hydraulics.
Perform another
hydraulic calibration.
Valid Pts Low The calibration did not find
valid data.
Perform another
hydraulic calibration.
Error Message Problem Solution
Note: Make any adjustments to the hydraulic components
in small increments so that you can identify problems and
solutions correctly. Perform only one change at a time to
better troubleshoot the issue.
