Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) EP30,40KT:
EP30K error 33

I am having an EP30K model forklift and am facing the same problem error code 33. The problem occurred when we were checking for an oil leak and lifting the forks up and down and once the forks came down it wouldnt start again. The key when switched on panel just shows 33 and nothing starts niether the tracion moor nor the hydraulic one.I do not have any diagrams or manuals. Can u please guide me on this. I cannot identify which is TP1 and TP2 so as to check the broken wires.Please give a detailed solution.

EP30K
Error 33
Problem: Pump IGBT, Drive Fault (33)

Indication: "33" display. All vehicle operations inhibited. Line contactor OPEN.

Possible Causes:
Wire break in pump T1P IGBT, faulty wire connection, faulty drive board, faulty pump current sensor CS,
faulty hydraulic logic board.

Disconnect battery plug. Check T1P IGBT and drive board for abnormality.

There are 2 controllers on the panel, right hand is drive, left hand is pump.

go to the drive board on left controller and remove the CN1 plug, you can check the T1P on terminals 1, 2 and 4/5 (1 is collector, 2 is gate and 4/5 is emitter). according to the wiring schematic terminal 4 and 5 are linked.

to check the current sensor and the drive board you really need the complete service manual to have wiring diagrams, connector layouts and pin by pin voltage information, during troubleshooting it tends to jump from one section to another. Kind of annoying but necessary.
