GENERAL a. This section applies only if STE/ICE is available. It contains troubleshootingof malfunction information and tests for locating and correcting troubles which maydevelop in the engine, fuel system, charging system, starting system, and batterysystem. These are based on those malfunctions that may occur during operation of theloader. STE/ICE also has the capability to test the hydraulic and transmission sys-tems. Each malfunction or trouble symptom lists probable causes and suggested cor-rective actions to remedy the situation.b. This manual cannot list all possible malfunctions that may occur or all tests,i n s p e c t i o n s , a n d c o r r e c t i v e a c t i o n s.If a malfunction is not listed (except whenmalfunctions and causes are obvious), or is not corrected by listed corrective ac-tions, notify higher level maintenance.C . The troubleshooting procedures list the common malfunctions that you may findduring the operation or maintenance of the loader. You should perform the tests/in-spections and corrective actions in the order listed.3-28. STE/lCE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION a. General.STE/ICE is used to test serviceability of vehicles and to performprimary fault detection and isolation.b. Description and Operation.STE/ICE is a testing system that performs testsand measurements on internal combustion engines. It measures voltage, current, re-s i s t a n c e , pressure, temperature, and rpm. Special tests consisting of compressionunbalance, starting system and battery system evaluation are performed by STE/ICE.Features of STE/ICE are standard equipment functions consisting of vacuum pressuregage, multimeter, and low current ammeter. STE/ICE is portable and operates on ei-ther 2 or 24 volt batteries or equivalent power source. STE/ICE system consists ofvehicle test meter (vTM), transducer kit (TK), six electrical cables, transit case,and necessary technical manuals.c. Vehicle Test Meter (VTM).Provides a method for the technician to test loaderelectrical and mechanical components. Readings are either pass/fail indications ordigital displays in units such as psi, rpm, volts, ohms, amperage, etc. VTM inter-faces with loader with transducer(s) from transducer kit, current probe, voltageprobe, and power cable. VTM operating power is drawn from loader batteries or otherbattery source. Power is routed to VTM through VTM power cable clamps connected tobatteries. STE/ICE general purpose test capabilities used to troubleshoot the loaderare rpm, -30 in. Hg to 25 psig pressure, 0-1000 psig pressure, 0-45 volts dc, and0-1500 amps.Special tests consist of compression unbalance, starter first peak cur-r e n t , s t a r t e r c i r c u i t r e s i s t a n c e , s t a r t e r n e g a t i v e c a b l e v o l t a g e d r o p , a n d b a t t e ryinternal resistance and resistance chance. Refer to TM 9-4910-571-12&P for a detail-ed description of VTM controls, indicators, and capabilities.3-200
