Tx 66 sieve loss sensor

[will_mck]

Hello, had my tx66 out for the first time yesterday and I noticed the sensor for grain losses from the sieves had stopped working this season. Any tips on what to check for? There's a plug at the sensor, if I put a multi meter on the wires that go back to the cab side of this connection will it register anything? Does the machine need to be working? I disconnect at the sensor plug yesterday in field and reconnected and but it made no difference.

@Two Tone might know something about this.

Checked wiring and there hasn't been any damage, rodent or otherwise. I'm thinking it's either a bad connection at the plug on the sensor or there's a fault at the circuit board underneath the senor bar

Do you get an error code or it just doesn't show any losses? Try shorting connection in the plug and see if that changes error.

It's doesn't show any losses.

Bump anyone?

They wiring likes to break where it loops between the sensor and the combine body.

If you can't find anything wrong with the wiring it's possibly a fault with a print

Is there any way of testing the wiring with a multimeter? Would the combine drum have to be engaged to do this

I can't honestly remember if there is voltage supply to the sensor or not.
They're just a microphone.

Maybe check what supply there is to a walker loss sensor if they're still working.

Just ignition on and thresh switch engaged will activate all functions.
Engine doesn't need to be running

Maybe you’re perfectly set up

It had crossed my mind but not likely with my luck

Haa maybe the sensitivity been turned down on them

Already tried adjusting that when harvesting but no luck. I'll check the wiring and circuit board on sensor
