Eco arborist 15 23/26 oil pressure/ alternator fault

[billpierce]

Getting an intermittent fault saying oil pressure/ alternator fault. Mostly the chipper works well, just occasionally get that fault and it cuts out.

 

First things to check? Remember reading something about this somewhere but cant remember where.

 

Thanks

Not yet sorted. Just had a double check and it's just saying oil pressure now. Plenty oil in it and it seems to run ok when its going

Ok Bill , which ignition box is fitted to your chipper ?

Is it the EHB box with the ignition switch mounted in the box and idle, set and run buttons on the facia  ?

Or the later RDS set up with the separate ignition switch and five press buttons on the display unit  ?

I guess the older one

Ok , first thing to try is to disconnect the single wire from the oil pressure switch on the engine , I think it's a brown wire ?

Insulate the end of the removed wire and run the chipper to see if the fault is still there . If the fault has disappeared then the problem is either a duff oil pressure switch or low oil pressure. Please only remove this wire for test purposes...

If the fault is still there then there could be a short to earth on the wire to the oil pressure switch,  worth also checking the condition of the pins in the round Canon plug from the EHB box for corrosion  and to make sure no pins have pushed back.

If the chipper still shuts down with a fault , give me a call on Monday on : 01789400044 and the option for service and I can talk you through programming the computer in case the programme is at fault.
