Diagnosing and repairing an electrical fault in a Komatsu excavator GPS system

Sartori’s Mechanical Services recently completed a diagnostic and repair project for a customer’s Komatsu excavator in Moriac. Our team of specialists, experienced in mobile machine auto electrical work and agricultural machinery maintenance, was called in to resolve a critical electrical fault in the machine’s GPS system. The Komatsu excavator was experiencing issues with its navigation and precision tracking due to this malfunction, impacting its performance on the job site.

Our client reported that their Komatsu excavator’s GPS system had stopped functioning, leading to operational delays. As part of our comprehensive service, Sartori’s Mechanical Services dispatched an experienced auto electrician to conduct a detailed inspection and troubleshooting session on-site in Moriac.

The repair process involved:

• Initial diagnostics and fault identification: We began by running a full diagnostic of the GPS system and its electrical components to locate the fault.
• Repair of faulty electrical wiring: The issue was traced to a damaged sensor that was disrupting the GPS feedback. Our technician repaired and replaced the faulty sensor, ensuring a stable connection.
• System recalibration and testing: After the repairs, we recalibrated the GPS system and tested it to ensure the excavator’s tracking and navigation functions were fully restored to optimal working condition.

Ensuring reliable agricultural machinery maintenance

As part of our commitment to safety and performance, Sartori’s Mechanical Services carried out a series of post-repair tests to confirm the Komatsu excavator’s GPS system was functioning correctly. Our goal was to get the equipment back on track as quickly as possible, minimising downtime for the customer’s operations.
