Repair steps for engine overheating of Komatsu excavator

Once the connector of the thermal sensor (oil) is removed, does the alarm light turn off

Addendum: If it goes out, the thermal sensor (oil) is defective and needs to be repaired or replaced

Further check if the alarm light has turned off after removing the connector of CN23

Addendum: If it goes out, the wiring WY between the CN23 thermal switches will be short circuited and the wiring WY needs to be repaired

Further check if the alarm light has turned off after removing the connector of CN14. If it has not turned off, the monitor dashboard is defective and needs to be replaced

Addendum: If it goes out, the wiring WY between CN23 and CN14 will break and need to be repaired. Excavator repair method 5:
