Bobcat Actuator Calibration using machine controls not dealer laptop

Bobcat actuators need to be calibrated by the machine controller after being replaced or removed for any reason. The actuators can be calibrated using the machine controls. This will allow you to calibrate the actuator yourself and not have to rely on the dealer to do the calibration for you. This process is specifically for the G-Series machines with ACS (advanced hand controls) operating system.

Great videos, a lot of details, much appreciated. I've been working on 2001 863, following your videos I had tilt actuator locking up the system, actuator was full of oil, only 3 years old. I replaced the spool seals and actuator, everything works fine now but I cannot calibrate.

[@NickApex]

Thanks for the help!

[@markmiles4359]

We replaced the tilt actuator and had the right joystick repaired (circuit board) in our T320 and it will only give a 40-07, y-axis not in neutral code whenever we try to calibrate. All of the controls are functioning, however.

[@lazowelding]

I get a 32-21 tilt actuator fault and a 32-25 code at times it just don’t seem to end I think I do need the tilt actuator

[@mowit1987]

Just installed a new tilt actuator in my 2000 863 G series. It has the AHC not ACS. Will this calibration still work for my machine?

[@dgb5820]

Awesomeness

[@brandonjones4666]

Will a secondary throttle not calibrated code cause a no start condition? Recently took apart the injection pump because we are guessing it’s bad because WIF event, but the inside of the pump looks pristine. So before buying a new pump would like to know if the secondary throttle not being calibrated will cause a no start condition.

[@tetradgroup]

No, a secondary throttle calibration will not cause a no start condition

[@wesleyfranzen6675]

Do you have a video on how to calibrate actuators on an m series? Have a T-870 that has started giving a W3250 code after running it for awhile (45 min- 1hr) and wanting to try avoid replacing it if not necessary.

[@tetradgroup]

I do have a video on m series calibration.

[@egoregor1447]

hello, can you tell me if it is possible to calibrate the acs calculator without a dealer without a computer, I have a s175 2007 with manual control

[@tetradgroup]

Yes, I have a few videos on calibration process.

[@premyslnovy1357]

Hi from Czech republic. I have a T190 with manual controls only. I replaced the motor in the actuator and during the calibration test it reports W3239. I tried calibrating it at least 15 times and still the same. Thanks for advice

[@tetradgroup]

Check signal voltage from actuator, should be 2.0 volts

[@jlazaro317]

Any idea if this also works on SJC machines?

[@bigace109]

Did you find out?

[@acdsinc3889]

I have an S530 that left hand control does not unlock

[@kylebrown775]

I have a couple questions about a t190 I was going to see maybe if you could answer him

873 G with ACS hand control only. I just replaced tilt actuator. Trying to recalibrate using the method you show in the video but I keep getting 32-40 code. I think the problem might be During recalibration I do not hear the actuators recalibrating. Any recommendations on what to try next? Thanks!

[@tetradgroup]

32-40 is for the right handle sensor. If the sensor in the handle is out of neutral it will not initiate the calibration process.

[@coledogger2227]

How do I get the right handle sensor to neutral? One more observation is that when operating the tilt it vibrates with slow tilt either way. Not noticeable when with full tilt in and out.

[@tetradgroup]

@@coledogger2227 The sensor is going bad and needs to be replaced

[@anthonycurcio5388]

I have an 04 S300 and once and while my bucket lift hand controls becomes slow, I do the recalibration and then it works fine but it will at some point within a day or two of operating it will get slow again. One time I had the lift run away on me and kept going up with no input from me on hand controls. Any ideas? Appreciate any advice you could offer

[@tetradgroup]

Sounds like the ACS controller is going bad. I would replace the joystick sensor and the ACS controller to make sure the issue is solved especially if you don't have any codes. Boom movement without input is dangerous.

[@anthonycurcio5388]

@@tetradgroup to be clear the ACS controller is not the actuator correct? Would it be possible to send me links to parts? Or point me in the right direction for them.

[@tetradgroup]

@@anthonycurcio5388 correct, I'll need the serial number to recommend the correct parts. Do you know it the machine is AJC or SJC?

[@hurleypatrick94]

Thank you for your videos. Hopefully you get this comment. I am having trouble with my 2013 s530 with ACS. I’m getting an intermittent code for m3204. It says bobcat unable to communicate with ACS and it won’t unlock the controls. If I wait an hour and come back it works fine. I have changed the Switch for the hand and foot controls and I changed the ACS solenoid. The fuses and relays are also good. Do you have any suggestions on where I can look to figure this problem out? Thank you.

[@tetradgroup]

ACS controller is failing internally, very common when it gets hot. You will need to replace the controller and program.

[@hurleypatrick94]

Thank you very much. I was afraid that was going to be the answer.

[@lazowelding]

If I buy and replace the actuator myself or get one that is rebuilt will I be able to use this calibration method on the new one and get it to work or does a newly installed actuator require dealer to use software to program it?

[@tetradgroup]

The manual calibration will work with the new actuator.

[@lazowelding]

@@tetradgroup I had t300 main computer starting to let alternator overcharge and as a result it started throwing the acs code so arms would lock up but had dealer Install new computer and new alternator but acs still pops up at times and stops arm movements so maybe actuator went slightly bad due to the overcharging so now I’m looking to change it out myself thank you for your response it helps out people..

[@evil979]

Greetings from Romania , i have some problems with my bobcat s130 2008 with electric joysticks, i use iso controls , ive noticed that that sometimes when i open or close bucket he doesn t open or close with 100% speed , more like 20% speed , and if i hit again the comand its working fine , any idea what it could be? Thanks :)

[@tetradgroup]

Hard to say but I would suspect paddle switch not working correctly on the joystick. I'm assuming you are working a hydraulic bucket. The dealer could monitor switch position on the computer.

[@mechanicdodz]

Good day sir''I'm from Philippines''pls give me guide every indicator lights what is the function '' Bobcat s150 '' thank you sir'

[@neilrensen8950]

I have an S300. Done this successfully before on this machine, but now as I follow the steps, my handles won't unlock. I start in "hand" position, turn the key to "on" (not run), hit the unlock green button, pull the bar down, but no unlocking of the handles. I have tried a few different coombinations, pulling the bar down and then hitting the unlock, but no success yet. What can be keeping those handles locked?

[@tetradgroup]

If it has an active code, it will not unlock

[@JEast-qb8nq]

I have a similar issue. 32-34 ACS comes on as soon as I turn the key. Maybe 2-3 seconds

[@miguelmiguel8652]

Hi sir I am from Guatemala country I have problems with my bobcat 8811 attachment Lithe retro on the skid steer bobcat s300 Days ago my attachment work good good power And now star not power pressure Slow and push the two option bottom, and push the acceleration diesel but continue work very slow My skid steer not have leaking days ago Change the spool seals Not leaking cylinders or hose The attachment not leaking Can you help me sir What are I can do thank you

[@tetradgroup]

Check the hydraulic filters and case drain filters for any metal or brass, want to make sure the gear pump is not damaged.

[@miguelmiguel8652]

Wouuu Today I saw the brake solenoid brokend and go in to the case chain container And another pieces And I saw alot pieces You think that problem But the skid steer tire is good rotation
