Jaltest Coverage of John Deere 350P Excavator

John Deere 350P is a more recent release from the John Deere P series line of vehicles. In a previous blog, we gave a general idea of Jaltest’s John Deere P series coverage using the 310P model as our example. In this article, however, we’ll specifically be looking at coverage for the John Deere 350P on behalf of one of our clients. 

The John Deere 350P Excavator

The John Deere 350P excavator is one of many evolutionary vehicles in John Deere’s growing P tier product line-up. This high-power John Deere excavator thrives in both easy and difficult operation environments, performing at a high efficiency no matter the obstacles. One key feature of this excavator is its new “productivity modes”. John Deere’s productivity modes allow you to tailor the operational outcomes of your excavator according to your needs. 

The high productivity mode enables more power and faster response times to move more material at one time. The economy mode prioritizes saving fuel at the cost of the machine’s power and carrying capabilities. The power mode strikes a balance between these two other modes, offering a balance of speed, power, and fuel efficiency.

Jaltest Diagnostic Capabilities for the John Deere 350P

A video version of this information is below. In this video, I take you through a live demo of the Jaltest diagnostic software for coverage of the John Deere 350P. 

Below we list some of the major capabilities available with Jaltest to diagnose and perform maintenance on the John Deere 350P: 

• Jaltest has coverage for the John Deere 350P’s engine and aftertreatment system.

• With this, Jaltest can perform maintenance tasks such as:

• Aftertreatment system fault code clearance

• Compression tests

• Cylinder cut-outs

• Particulate filter cleaning

• Coolant purge from the ADBLUE/DEF system

Parameter adjustments are a crucial part of Jaltest’s advanced diagnostic and maintenance capabilities. Technicians will perform parameter adjustments using Jaltest to optimize the performance of various heavy-duty vehicles. For example, vehicles made for specific tasks can have their parameters adjusted to ensure better results, rather than maintaining the standard parameters, which optimizes the vehicle for tasks it might not typically perform. Parameter adjustments allow technicians and fleet managers to customize vehicles to fit their specific performance needs. 

• Some of the parameter adjustments Jaltest can perform on a John Deere 350P excavator is:

• Injector exchange

• Injector coding

• Diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) coding

• Diesel particulate filter (DPF) coding

• Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) coding

• Variable geometry turbine (VGT) coding

The purpose of system checks is to monitor the health of your vehicles. These system checks serve as a precaution, dictating whether vehicles are mechanically healthy and ready to be used in a high-demand work environment. System checks identify and prevent unexpected mechanical breakdowns and mechanical issues that could lead to an accident or put drivers in danger. 

• Jaltest can perform the following system checks on a John Deere 350P

• Cylinder performance test

• Engine wiring test

• Unsuccessful regeneration operations

• ADBLUE/DEF system testing, including metering system tests and pump diagnosis

Vehicle component actuation can be defined as a process which converts signals into actions. For example, transmission actuators direct hydraulic fluid into the proper channels. Vehicle actuators ensure the smooth operation of your vehicles, and any malfunctions or issues they have could lead to costly problems.

• Jaltest can monitor and adjust the following John Deere 350P component actuators:

• EGR Valve

• Fuel Feed Pump

In addition to all of the above, Jaltest is capable of monitoring live performance data and reading and clearing fault codes for the John Deere 350P.
