Abstract:

A method of monitoring oil level in a transmission system of a machine is disclosed. The method includes monitoring an oil pressure and calculating an average value of the oil pressure over a first predetermined time duration. The method further includes calculating a variance of the oil pressure from the average value and recording a deviation if the variance is beyond a threshold variance. The method further includes detecting a low oil level condition if a count of deviations is above a threshold count within a second predetermined time duration.

US Classification:

701 67

Abstract:

A method of controlling a differential assembly of a machine is disclosed herein. The differential assembly may be locked by use of a differential lock. The differential lock is adapted to operate in at least one of an automatic mode and a manual override mode. The differential lock is activated and/or deactivated by an automatic differential control system with a manual override mode. The method initiates with activation of the automatic differential control system. Thereafter, the automatic differential control system may be overridden by activation of the manual override mode, while the automatic differential control system continues to be activated. Thereafter, the manual override mode may be deactivated by use of the automatic differential control system based on one or more of a plurality of operational parameters.
