Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) C3500:
Clearing Codes

My tech was working on Cat C3500 s/n AT81FG0264. The dash indicated a fault code which the tech has made the repair for. he then tried to clear the code on the dash by doing the following: turn key on for 3 seconds, pump accelerator 5X, let off accelerator for 10 seconds, then hold accelerator down for 10. This has not cleared the dash and the code is still flashing. Anyone have any suggestions.....thanks.

Your tech was close, but was using wrong count. You didn't say which code was showing.

TRY:

Key on:

Wait 3 second (use long count like 1 mississippi,
2 mississippi, 3 mississippi or stop watch.

Off pedal 7 seconds (Long count)

On pedal 10 seconds (Long count) hour meter should appear at 10 sec. mark then start fluxuating between code and meter, wait till excamation ( ! ) quits flashing then key off, then restart truck.
You can also try to disconnect battery negitive and wait 1 minute.
When you do the pedal dance make sure the floor board is back on truck.
If the code was for brake light switch, do the dance with the other foot pushing down brake pedal, not inching.
