TAKEUCHI TB016 Flashing warning lights

[Norfolknick]

Hi everyone I wonder if any one could help me,

I have a TAKEUCHI TB016, i had a flat battery and put on charge, unfortunately I was away for a couple days and forgot to switch the charger off before leave…when I got back the battery was in bits( blown up)

I picked up a new battery and fitted it, since the new ones been the temperature lights been flashing and alarm sounding as soon as it starts up and also the ”hare” sign is also flashing …just wondered if any one has had this issue before …

I wanted to attach a video but can’t seem to

Thanks in advanced..

Sounds like something has blown on the ecu/ dash unit.

Did you charge the battery whilst on the machine?

No the machine was off. The digger seams to run fine …

I didn’t know if when the battery blew up it the acid has done any damage

Sorry Mick I read your message wrong, yes it was on the machine

can't imagine a battery full of acid'll have done the machine a lot of good .... doubt it's gotten to the ECU ... more likely to be an electrical spike/issue that's given you the problem ... even now I'd flood the area with water to dilute anything left and wash it all away/off

Yes I have found some de greasers can make rubber hoses go off if left too long

Have you checked both these circuits physically? Temp sender wire off and to earth, try 2speed travel!
