your Elgin Sweeper dealer.

WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING

Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Exercise caution with
anything that could be caught in the machinery, such as jewelry and long hair.

Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or
music headphones while operating the machine. Use caution while using a cellular telephone
while operating the equipment.

DRIVING THE SWEEPER

Operate the sweeper only when all guards are fitted and in their correct position.

Before moving the machine, check the immediate vicinity of the machine for bystanders. Use
the horn as a warning immediately before moving the machine.

For speeds over 25 mph (40 km/h), the sweeper must be operated from the primary driving position
(left-hand or right-hand) that is standard in the country where you are driving. Operating at these
speeds from the other driving position can result in severe injury or property damage. While the
driver is changing driving position, the sweeper must be stopped with the gearshift in neutral and
the parking brake applied.

HANDLE FUEL SAFELY – AVOID FIRES

Handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable. Do not refuel the machine while
smoking or when near open flame or sparks.

Always stop the engine before refueling the machine. Fill the fuel tank out-
doors.

Prevent fires by keeping the machine clean of trash, grease, and debris. Always
clean up spilled fuel.

S-2
AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS
Everyone must be clear of the sweeper before the engine is started and before the
brooms are started.

Many moving parts, such as the side brooms, cannot be completely shielded, due to
their function. Stay clear of these moving elements during operation.

Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power driven parts.

AVOID MACHINE INSTABILITY

Parking brake must be set before raising the hopper.

Be sure the hopper door is open before the hopper is raised.

Raise the hopper only when the sweeper is parked on firm, level surfaces.

Lower the hopper to transport position before moving the machine.

PARK SWEEPER SAFELY

Set the parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the keys.

Be sure the hopper is down and the hopper door locked before leaving the sweeper.

AVOID OVERLOADS
Observe the maximum permissible axle loads and total weights.

AVOID ELECTRICAL POWER LINES

Do not raise the hopper while under power lines.

Do not raise the hopper while under trees, bridges, etc.

Lower the hopper to transport position before moving the machine.

PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE / REPAIRS

Keep the area clean and dry. Remove any build-up of grease, oil, or debris.

Never lubricate or service the machine while it is moving. Keep all parts in good condition and
properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.

S-3
Make sure all maintenance and repairs are completed by qualified and authorized personnel.
All applicable industry standards and practices and regulations must be followed during main-
tenance and repairs.

Make sure the parking brake is set, before you do any work on the sweeper.

PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS

Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. Use a
flashlight to check battery electrolyte level.

Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a volt-
meter or hydrometer.

Always remove the grounded (—) battery cable first and replace it last.

Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm the battery to 60° F (16 °C).

AVOID OVERLOADING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Before modifying, adding, removing, etc. any electrical/electronic component(s), verify
that the circuitry and components do not overload the electrical system.

Contact your Elgin Sweeper dealer, if you have any questions or need assistance.

AVOID HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS

! CAUTION
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before dis-
connecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids. If accident occurs,
seek immediate medical attention.

Keep hands and body away from pinholes and nozzles which eject fluids
under high pressure.

USE PROPER TOOLS

Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools and procedures can
create safety hazards.

Use power tools only to loosen threaded parts and fasteners.

For loosening and tightening hardware, use the correct size tools. DO
NOT use U.S. measurement tools on metric fasteners, or vice versa.
Avoid bodily injury caused by slipping wrenches.

Use only service parts meeting Elgin Sweeper specifications.

S-4
TIRES AND RIMS
An inflated tire and rim can be very dangerous if improperly used, serviced or maintained.
To avoid serious injury, never attempt to re-inflate a tire which has been run flat or seriously
underinflated without first breaking down the tire and wheel assembly for inspection. Do not
attempt to add air to tires or replace tires or wheels without first taking precautions to protect
persons and property. For details see the regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA).

Never use a ring or other rim parts of different manufacture or any different size or type than
original rims

OBSERVE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REGULATIONS

Be mindful of the environment and ecology.

Before draining any fluids, find out the correct way to dispose of them.

Observe the relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing of

oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.

 Crosswind J Error Code Diagnostics
Preliminary Checks
Before starting diagnosis and check components
related to an error condition, always check all fuses
used to protect the circuit. See the Electrical section
entitled Fuses and Relays and Table E-8 for fuse
description and location.
Read the Electrical sections in the manual related to
the error and become familiar with the switches and
electrical circuits associated with the error. See the
section entitled Fuses and Relays and Table E-9 for
relay description and location.
See the Electrical section entitled Solenoid Valves and
Table E-10 for a description of solenoid valves and
location of the solenoid.
Read and understand the sections related to the
electronic control modules, pin locations and uses,
Figure E-36 Tachometer connectors and Table E-11
Indicator Lamps and Icons.
Use the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting section to
help locate and correct errors and problems. Use the
section entitled LCD Display and Menu Selection to
check component settings and parameters.
Perform a complete battery and charging circuit test.
Make sure the battery terminals are clean and secure.
Inspect the ground cable for excessive wear and
damage.
D-3
Checking Control Module
Operation
Before performing troubleshooting and diagnostic
checks and tests on components, always shut down
the sweeper completely, including the chassis engine.
Allow the sweeper systems to de-energize and shut
down.
After shutdown, start the chassis engine followed
by the auxiliary engine. See the Operator’s Manual
for sweeper start up and operation. The tachometer
needle should sweep during initial startup and self
test and return to zero.
Elgin Multiplex Network
Overview
The following information provides an overview of
the Elgin Sweeper Multiplex Network. This overview
can be used to understand how component signals
are transmitted from the operator controls to the
components used to perform sweeping operations.
This section is concerned primarily with CAN
communication failure and not with individual
module or circuit failure. Faults in individual
components (nodes) will not generally cause total loss
of CAN communication but will affect system inputs
and outputs.
 NOTICE
The backbone (Figure 1) of the CAN system is a two-wire
harness that contains a CAN High wire (yellow) and a CAN
Low wire (Green). The backbone is routed throughout the
CAN system for communication between components. Each
section of the CAN contains a node connection. Theses nodes
provide a link to the CAN for the individual components. A
short in the node CAN high to CAN low connection or a short
to ground will cause loss of communication. A shielded ground
within the backbone may be present in some earlier systems.
A short exist when a stripped portion of the CAN high wire
touches a stripped portion of the CN low wire. A short can
also exist between the CAN wires and a ground. The short
may exist between node terminals and not always between
the wires. See the section entitled Testing for CAN Shorts for
testing procedures.
The control area network (CAN) (Figure D-1)
communicates with the components in the sweeper
system using a bus. The bus is a subsystem that
transfers data between components inside a controller
or between controllers. The bus can logically connect
several nodes over the same set of wires. A node sends
or receives communication. The bus connects the
nodes together in a logical system. All nodes see all
CANbus information in real time. The nodes used in
the sweeper control system include:
• Sweeper VMM Network, including the J1939
CAN and VMM controllers, contains the sweeper
system programming and manages component
J1939 CANbus -
backbone of the system
Control Area Network (CAN)
Figure D-1
D-4
interaction between components to provide sweep
control. The J1939 CAN is the backbone of the
communication system.
The VMM controllers make decisions based on
initial programming and signals transmitted
over the CANbus. If communication to a VMM
is disconnected, the inputs and outputs will not
be available to the CAN for operation of those
components.
• Sweeper Gauge and Display Network (LIN bus
– Local Interconnect Network) – The sweeper
gauge and display network modules are linked
together in their own network known as the LIN
bus. Also contains a translator used to share data
on the J1939 (CAN) network. The gauge module
is used to display sweeper and engine faults and
status message.
If the LINbus is disconnected from the CAN the
gauges will sweep continually and display will
not function. Console circuits using the LINbus
will not be available.
NOTICE
A normal or proper reading on the backbone would
display as 60Ω with both terminating resistors
installed or 120Ω with one terminating resistor
removed.
• John Deere Engine Electronic Control Unit –
Provides engine operational control (John Deere
programming). Also connects to the J1939 CAN to
receive sweeper commands (throttle, status, etc)
and to transmit fault information to the display
for operator action (i.e. Error Code 9013)
If communication is lost to the ECU, engine
information will not be displayed on the gauges,
causing the gauges to sweep and the loss of
throttle control. The engine will idle at 750 RPM.
No engine information will be available at the
John Deere test port. The engine may or may not
start and run.
• Chassis operating system (engine ECU,
transmission controller and other chassis
networks) are connected through a programmable
gateway module (PGM). The PGM serves as an
interface between the chassis computer network
(if applicable). Also used for connecting a laptop
computer to the system for access to the Elgin
programming on the network.
If communication is lost to chassis information,
complete system function will not be possible.
An example is when the system is looking
for transmission state information. If the
information is not available, the hopper will not
dump.
Sweeper CAN Backbone
The backbone (Figure D-1) of the network
communication system takes place through a “twisted
pair” of wire that must be physically next to each
other. The matching of the twisted pair allows outside
interference to affect both wires at the same time,
which in turn cancels the interference. A shielded
ground is used to provide additional protection from
electrical interference.
NOTICE
The shield ground terminates at one point and must
not be used as a system ground. Multiple terminations
of a shield ground can result in unstable system
operation. The shielded ground is only used if
interference is present.
D-5
The twisted pair must be contiguous from end to
end with individual node connections spliced to the
backbone
The 120 ohm resistors (terminating resistors) in the
end of the backbone between CAN high and CAN
Low wires prevent reflection or bounce-back of the
transmissions in the network. If the resistors are not
present, data in the transmissions may be missed and
the functions will not work correctly.
Sweeper VMM Network
The VMM program receives all network
communication and responds with operational
outputs to the sweeper components. The programming
responds to predetermined signals from control
switches and devices. During the process of
communication, if a signal is not responsive, fault
codes will be displayed on the LCD screen in the
tachometer.
The controllers (VMM) are identified by their address
on the system. The address is determined by the
placement of ground wires in the VMM terminal. The
CAN transmits signals to nodes through the backbone.
Response to the signal is determined by each node
knowing its address. Without the correct address,
functions will not take place.
NOTICE
The VMM are grouped together during installation.
VMM3 and VMM5 are grouped together and VMM9
and VMM17 are grouped together. During installation,
the VMM may be mistakenly grouped with VMM3 and
VMM5 reversed and/or VMM9 and VMM17 reversed.
Harness ground wires establish the VMM address.
Because the VMM are identical, no abnormal operation
will be noticed until a technician needs to identify the
VMM for troubleshooting. Check wire and pin locations
to ensure proper identification.

CHASSIS NETWORK
The chassis engine is equipped with a separate
computer network. Some chassis have limited
network control of engine ECU and some chassis have
extensive operational network for nearly all chassis
functions. Because several communication protocols
besides J1939 can be used for chassis operation, a
gateway module (PGM) is used to connect the chassis
network to the sweeper. Usually the sweeper network
is searching for chassis state information, such as
transmission position, park brake, etc. The PGM also
provides a connection for laptop evaluation.

NOTICE
The sweeper programming requires chassis neutral
position information. Both chassis ignition switch and
sweeper ignition switch must be in the ON position to
enable CAN functions.
CAN Diagnostic Steps
• Check the sweeper gauge and ICON display.
• Check for fault codes.

information or faulty circuits. Sweeper fault codes
may be repaired by using the information in the
Error Code Diagnostic section and service manual
information.
John Deere fault codes are generated by missing
information or faulty circuits. Engine fault codes may
be repaired using the information in the John Deere
service manual.

• Check VMM power LED illumination (Figure

D-3).

• Compile recorded data of faults, dates and

occurrences. Sweep Continually
During initial startup, the CANbus and controller
system perform a self-test. As the self-test progresses,
the gauge needle sweeps and the ICON displays
CAN Diagnostic Tips (Figure D-4) will flash. If the self-test is successful and
the system is normal, the gauge needles will cease
Elgin Sweeper fault codes are generated by missing
sweeping and stabilize.

Tachometer and Gauge Needle Connections

Figure D-4
D-10
 Tachometer, ECU and VMM3
Figure D-5
The needles will continue to sweep if there is
no communication with the CAN. The lack of
communication may be due to a poor or broken
connection between the tachometer J1939 terminals
and the sweeper CAN. Without CAN communication,
the tachometer LCD will display limited information.
The lack of communication may be poor terminal
connections in the 8-pin J1939 connector at the
tachometer (Figure D-4). CAN high (yellow) and CAN
low wires (green) may not fit well into the terminals
resulting in a poor fit with the connector. The wires
may have been stripped too far past the connector
resulting in contact between the high and low wires. If
these conditions exist, contact Elgin Sweeper Service
Department.
The gauges will also sweep if there is a lack of
information being transmitted by the CANbus. A lack
of information from the John Deere ECU (Figure D-5)
to the LINbus will cause the gauges to sweep. The
tachometer will continue to display sweeper fault codes
and sweeper CAN messages. In most cases, the fault
is caused by no power to the ECU. The ECU power
is supplied through an inline fuse near the sweeper
battery. Also, the ECU receives a “RUN” signal from
VMM3. If VMM3 is inoperable, the ECU will not
operate properly and the auxiliary engine will not run.
If the ECU-CAN connection is disconnected, ECU
information will not be sent to the tachometer and
the gauges will sweep. The auxiliary engine may start
and run at the ECU idle speed (750 RPM), but engine
information will not be available at the service port.
NOTICE
The 1000 RPM low idle speed is caused by a signal
sent by the VMM program to the ECU on the CANbus.
D-11
Total CAN Communication Failure
Total CAN communication failure is the most serious
failure for the Control Area Network. A complete CAN
failure is generally caused by a short between CAN
High and CAN Low or to ground. Some symptoms of a
CAN failure are:
• No sweep system operation
• Gauge needles sweep continually
• Auxiliary engine may not run
• The auxiliary engine will only run at 750 RPM
• VMM power LED flashing (missing information)
• VMM NET LED will probably be off (not
transmitting)
• No ECU information available at the auxiliary
engine service port
• No information at the laptop diagnostic port
NOTICE
The backbone (Figure D-1) of the CAN system is a
two wire harness that contains a CAN High wire
(yellow) and a CAN Low wire (Green). The backbone is
routed throughout the CAN system for communication
between components. Each section of the CAN contains
a node connection. These nodes provide a link to the
CAN for the individual components. A short in the
node CAN high to CAN low connection or a short to
ground will cause loss of communication. A shielded
ground within the backbone may be present in some
earlier systems. A short exists when a stripped portion
of the CAN high wire touches a stripped portion of the
CN low wire. A short can also exist between the CAN
wires and a ground. The short may exist between node
terminals and not always between the wires. See the
section entitled Testing for CAN Shorts for testing
procedures.

Possible Causes:

NOTICE
The common solenoid valve allows hydraulic oil to
flow through main valve to the hydraulic reservoir
until one of the component solenoids is activated. When
a component is activated, the common valve solenoid
valve closes. This blocks the flow of oil to the reservoir
and forces the oil to flow through the component
hydraulic circuit. When a manifold component is
activated, 12VDC is routed from VMM3 to one side of
the common solenoid. The other side of the solenoid
is grounded by ground splice LM-S3. Because the COMMON SOLENOID MAIN HYDRAULIC
solenoid is grounded on one side and has 12VDC on VALVE MANIFOLD

High Pressure Wash Solenoid
High Pressure Wash solenoid, Ground Missing, (VMM
HS) Solenoid

Possible Causes:

Connectors not mated fully, terminals or pins not in-

stalled fully, bent pin or broken wire.
Bad solenoid coil.
Ground circuit to solenoid loose, broken or wire open.
Bad Prime/ON/OFF switch.
Failed control module.
Bad pressure switch.

NOTICE
The high pressure wash pump is rotated using a
hydraulic motor. The motor is operated by hydraulic
oil routed through the high pressure wash solenoid.
The solenoid is controlled by the high pressure wash
switch mounted at the right rear of the sweeper chassis.
When the switch is placed in the Prime/ON position,
a ground circuit is routed from ground splice RM-S5
through the switch to VMM9 pin 30. The VMM sends
a signal through the CANBus and 12VDC is routed
from VMM9 pin 1 to one side of the high pressure
wash solenoid. Because the other side of the solenoid is
grounded, the solenoid opens. This allows oil to flow to
the high pressure wash pump motor. This rotates the
motor and supplies high pressure water to the system.
VMM9 also monitors the high pressure wash pressure
switch. The pressure switch is held open by system
water pressure. If the water pressure fails, the switch
closes and sends a ground circuit to VMM9 pin 29,
which in turn causes VMM9 to stop routing 12VDC to
the high pressure wash solenoid.

hydraulic motor rotating the motor and pump. The
control module VMM 9 must have a low side input
(ground) signal from the Prime/ON/OFF switch and
a low side input signal from the pressure switch for
voltage to flow to the solenoid connector pin A. The
water tank must have sufficient water for pumping

NOTES:

D-103
Error Code 9263
Hopper Up in Transport
Hopper Switch Faulty

Possible Causes:

Hopper Not Lower Completely

Connectors not mated fully, terminals or pins not
installed fully, bent pin or broken wire.
Bad hopper raise/lower switch.
Failed control module.

NOTICE
The hopper raise/lower switch (Figure 1) is used to en-
sure the hopper is completely down after dumping. The
switch is mounted on the truck chassis near the water
tank. One side of the switch is connected to a chassis
ground splice connector RM-S4. The other side of the
switch is connected to VMM9 pin 17. The normally
open momentary switch sends a low side (ground) sig-
nal to VMM9 when the weight of the hopper is placed
on the switch contact point. The VMM in turn sends a
signal through the CANBus indicating the hopper is in
down.

Step 1 – Check if fault code is active or hopper not

lower completely. VMM9 Pin 17 Locator

a. Turn the truck and sweeper ignition switches to
RUN in order to power the controllers.
a. Check fault by holding the hopper raise/lower
switch in the LOWER position.

b. Check hopper up indicator.

RESULTS:
Fault code displayed.
• Go to step 2.

Fault code not displayed.

• Return to service.

Step 2 - Connectors not mated fully, terminals or

pins not installed fully, bent pin or broken wire.

a. Check for loose or broken terminals, pins or bent

pins or broken wire between the hopper raise/
lower switch terminal 1, wire 830-RM-118 (or-
ange) and VMM9 pin 17 (Figure 2).

b. Check for loose or broken terminals, pins, bent
pins or broken wire between the hopper raise/
lower switch terminal 2 (Figure 3), wire 200-RM-
21 (black) and ground splice RM-S4.
RESULTS:
Loose, broken terminals, pins or bent pin or wire.
• Repair or replace loose or broken terminal, wire
or pin.
No loose, broken wire, terminal, pin or connection.
• Go to step 3.
Step 3 – Bad hopper raise/lower switch.
a. Using the hopper raise/lower switch, raise the
hopper and install the hopper safety supports.
b. Manually activate the hopper up switch. Using a
multimeter set for resistance (ohms) or continu-
ity, check for a ground circuit between ground
splice RM-S4 and switch terminal 2, switch ter-
minal 1 and VMM9 pin 17.
RESULTS:
Ground available at terminals.
• Go to step 4.
D-105
Ground not available at switch terminal 2.
• Repair ground circuit between terminal 2 and
ground splice RM-S4.
Ground not available at switch terminal 1.
• Replace switch.
Ground not available at VMM9 pin 17.
• Repair ground circuit between VMM9 pin 17
and switch terminal 1.
Step 4 – Failed control module.
a. Manually activate the hopper raise/lower switch.
b. Using a multimeter set for resistance (ohms),
check for ground input at VMM 9 pin 17.
RESULTS:
Ground available at VMM 9 pin 17.
• Check VMM9 operation.
Ground not available at VMM9 pin 17.
• Check hopper raise/lower switch input circuit.
