Before going down to the Bobcat fault code list, a quick overview of Bobcat machines will be in order.
Bobcat machines are versatile pieces of heavy equipment with a range of applications from construction to agriculture to landscaping, and more. They have a track record of being rugged and dependable with a minimum of downtime. Among the Bobcat heavy equipment most used are skid steer loaders, track loaders, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, compact excavators, rotary telescopes, and more.
It was Melroe Manufacturing Company that originally started building Bobcat equipment. However, the company changed hands several times till it was finally sold to the Doosan Group of South Korea, the present owners, for $4.9 billion by the Clark Equipment Company which presently operates as Bobcat Company.
Bobcat equipment is powerful enough to be used for a host of tasks.
# Excavation works such as levelling land, clearing debris, and digging trenches.
# Loading and hauling materials such as gravel, dirt, and debris.
# Demolition where Bobcat equipment is used for breaking down concrete structures and removing walls.
# Landscaping as Bobcat machines are ideal for grading, levelling, and clearing land for construction projects or otherwise.
Diagnostic Software and Bobcat Fault Code
For fleet owners of Bobcat construction equipment, downtime, and breakdowns are common occurrences, necessitating dealer-level servicing or calling in maintenance engineers. However, our Jaltest Bobcat fault code list ensures that any issues are promptly identified and corrective action is taken before they become full-blown problems. Hence your Bobcat equipment always performs in peak performance mode.
Our Bobcat fault code maintenance software is good for a wide section of Bobcat systems and models of construction equipment. They include the A series, S series, T series, and E series. Hence, regardless of whether it is Bobcat mini excavator fault codes or Bobcat skid steer fault code list, we have you covered. You can also troubleshoot issues with the Bobcat fault code on Bobcat skid steer joystick controls, identify rail pressure control faults, SJC controls, and more.
There is no limit on what you can do with the Jaltest Bobcat diagnostic software. The software ensures that any trouble with the Bobcat equipment is quickly diagnosed and rectification solutions are set in motion. There is an option to undertake either full system scans to check the overall equipment functioning or carry out scans by specific systems (shortcuts). In all cases, you are assured of optimized solutions and dealer-level services.

Fault Code List For Your Bobcat Construction Equipment
The Bobcat fault code list contains virtually everything that requires troubleshooting of your Bobcat equipment. Every system and component are covered by the Bobcat fault code that indicates what specific part the issue is on. It goes right down to the specifics such as something to do with the right front or left rear wheel as well as the solenoid that is not functioning as it should in the circuits of the machine.
Bobcat fault codes, just as with other manufacturers, are designed to work within a specific ecosystem. The Jaltest software is optimized to interpret the codes, just like the manual, to identify any issue and take preventive action.
What Does the Bobcat Fault Code List Indicate
Fault code lists indicate the performance and the function of your equipment. Bobcat fault codes can pop up when certain metrics are not where they should be. They may relate to battery or sensor supply voltage, fluid levels, hydraulic oil temperature, and more. The built-in volt and temperature sensors as well as the speed sensors will not only alert you to the fault codes but also provide the required details such as out of range high or low.
While there are several aspects that can result in a malfunctioning machine, some issues are more common than others. We will now go into examples of some common trouble codes and how to fix the issues.
Bobcat Fault Code M0909: This error code shows when the fuel level is too low and can be seen on both the M-series Bobcat loaders as well as telehandler models. This is one code that does not require any complex procedures to do away with, simply refuel and it is gone.
H7404 Fault Code: This fault code means that there is no link with the main controller and that it is not receiving adequate power. It might also mean that the transmission might not be lubricated. Check the surroundings where the Bobcat equipment has been working or is stationary for fluid leaks.
H3916 Fault Code: This fault code means that the left joystick is not connected and there is no communication with it. This error is common on M-series Bobcat mini excavators and loaders. Refer to the Jaltest diagnostic software for a solution. It might either be a software issue such as an interrupted connection or no signal or a hardware issue that necessitates replacement of the joystick.
Where To Check the Bobcat
Bobcat fault codes list is typically displayed on the instrument panel or the control display of the Bobcat equipment. However, these panels are not standardized and may vary depending on the type of machine – excavators, telehandlers, and so on – the model, features, and the year it was manufactured.
Here are some examples of where the fault codes are located in some types of Bobcat equipment.
R Series and similar: Select the “service codes” on the touchscreen and check the active fault code on the screen. You can also see all the error codes that have been shown before and access the service schedule of the machine and the service record. For models of Bobcat equipment that do not have a touchscreen, rotate the knob, and arrive at the “service codes”
M2 Series and similar: For Bobcat equipment that comes with a deluxe panel, move to the “active warnings” But if you simply have a panel with display and gauges, press the information button and you will navigate to a screen with an open book symbol with a wrench on top. The Bobcat fault code list will be displayed here and you can check them even if there are multiple error codes.
T Series: Then there is the T-series also which has different fault codes. Take the example of the fault code list for the T 770 or T 650 and the D7517 fault code. It denotes short to ground or an open circuit in the lift arm solenoid valve coil. The Jaltest troubleshooting tool will resolve the issue. The wiring harness and connectors associated with the left solenoid valve need to be checked for damage, corrosion, or loose connections. If the resistance of the solenoid valve falls outside the set parameters, it needs to be changed. Go through our component replacement guide for advice in this regard.
Other Bobcat equipment like compact tractors will show warning lights and symbols on the display screen to show a fault code.

Bobcat Fault Code List Removal And Diagnostic Software
With the Jaltest troubleshooting tool, doing away with Jaltest fault codes is not a complex procedure. Access the system dashboard and choose the model that has to be diagnosed. It might be hydraulic systems, power modules, transmission, fault codes H2607, M5306, Bobcat 753, 763, and others. Calibrate the raising and tilting actuators in AJC (Advanced Joystick Controls) and the hydrostatic pump in selectable joystick control (SJC) skid steers.
You can also check the Kubota engine fault code list and undertake optimized diagnostic processes of your Bobcat equipment engines. The same goes for Doosan engine diagnostic which also powers the Bobcat construction equipment. In addition to the engines, our software links up to the auxiliary controller, body computers, hydraulic systems transmissions, and more.
One very critical engine fault code removal that requires special mention is force regens and after-treatment systems for Bobcat compact construction equipment. The software analyzes this maintenance activity and takes necessary action to prevent soot build-up inside the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and stop the equipment from going into limp mode.
Our user-friendly diagnostic menu comes with several parameters. Get maintenance data, vehicle data, and system technical data that will guide you through the various diagnostic parameters such as the exhaust gas treatment system, the electronic module, and the remote hydraulic controller.
Every component like the central computer, electronic module, instrument cluster, hydraulics, and more is covered by the system scan.
Check the compatibility of your maintenance tool with Bobcat construction equipment.
