    История из практики

    Ближе к обеду вторая бригада нашего коллектива выехала в Солнечногорский район, деревню Дурыкино, что лежит на всем известной Ленинградке. Там 9-й день прозябал Американский грузовик Фредлайнер с ценным негабаритным грузом за плечами. Водители с ног и рук сбились, пытаясь отыскать настоящего автоэлектрика, который бы запустил наконец их автомобиль, потому как поросль на лицах их все говорила о том, что люди уже начали потихоньку превращаться в Робинзонов, находясь без элементарных условий на дороге. Приехав на место обнаруживаем рядом стоящую с грузовиком автоэлектриков из Санкт Петербурга из неизвестной фирмы. Видимо обитателей хижины дяди Тома под названием Фредлайнер сподвигло даже пойти на этот шаг и вызвать электриков за 600 км. от места. Пообщавшись с присутствующими и надменным электриком неизвестной фирмы, который нас заверил, что у нас ничего не получится и мы не сможем ничего поделать с автомобилем, поняли, что терять время даром нельзя, световой день еще короток для августовских теплых ночей. Подключаемся и видим. Отсутствует главное питание на блоке ЭБУ двигателя. Покопавшись в движке находим откушенный провод массы в первую очередь неизвестными диверсантами приезжавшими на место и пытавшимися завести таким образом двигатель машины. Вторую причину находим тут же сразу практически. Рядом силовая цепь нарушена зеленкой. Так в простонародии среди электриков называется окисел медных проводов автомобиля. Чиним и его. При попытке подключить правильно силовую цепь слышим радостные возгласы водителей из своего «Бунгало»-чек загорелся, панель заработала, а значит ключ на старт и как поется в небезызвестной песне -полетели!. Вот таким веселым образом закончился наш сегодняшний трудовой день. Удачи всем на дорогах, будьте бдительны и осторожны!.

    Вопрос по диагностике freightliner century class s/t 2002 г.

    bigmaxxx Дата: Понедельник, 20.11.2017, 12:38 | Сообщение # 1
    Здравствуйте.
    Это мой первый американский тягач (да вообще первый).

    При включении зажигания на дисплее выдает сообщение о 4-ех активных ошибках. После заводки двигателя, через небольшой промежуток времени, выдает сообщение о 3-х активных ошибках. Иногда одна ошибка уходит сама по себе.
    Если после включения зажигания нажать на кнопку, что с права от руля, лампочка вымаргивает код 62 и все. В качестве контроля работоспособности сдергивал датчик уровня антифриза в расширительном бачке, лампочка вымаргивает код 16. Ближайшая диагностика за 120 км, да и то не факт что там есть ПО для американца.
    Соответственно вопрос, есть ли возможность, без подключения диагностического сканера, узнать что это за 4 активных ошибки.

    Подскажи!Чем диагностируешь?есть какая литература по ним?

    Программное обеспечение и сканер или «шнурок»

    Наиболее распространненый в России похоже nexiq (www.nexiq.com)

    «Шнурок» — это адаптер между нотбуком и машиной.

    В нотбук заливаешь ПО (caterpillar STW, Cummins insite, incal, DDDL, Eaton, Meritor toolbox и т.д)

    Нотбук я покупал в магазине, «шнурок»- заказывал из америки(примерная стоимость 20-22000 рублей с доставкой, проги тоже доставал где придется, в том числе заказывал за бугром)

    ‘TAMADA’ *’300440′ *’18.6.2007, 2:07′]

    а где шнур заказывал? 22000 это за комплект или это за один?

    проблема в том что если вы никогда не заказывали из Америки, то есть очень большой шанс

    вкиснуть со своим добром где-нибудь на таможне, или попасть на кидалово. Ньюансов масса. Если есть большая заинтересованность в диагностике американцев, то можно пообщаться в аське, или поговорить по телефону.
