Diagnosing John Deere Fault Codes

To access the diagnostic session, press and hold the roll mode switch for five seconds. Once in the diagnostics mode, any active or previously active fault codes will be displayed, scrolling on the screen. Each code will be presented in the format of a 3-letter abbreviation representing the control unit, followed by a code number in the format XXXXXXX.XX.

  1. Hold the roll mode switch for 5 seconds to start the diagnostic session.
  2. Look for any active or previous fault codes displayed on the screen.
  3. Use the right turn signal switch to find the control unit you want to check.
  4. Press the roll mode switch to enter the diagnostic address for the chosen control unit.
  5. Scroll to diagnostic address 001 using the right turn signal switch to see if any fault codes are present.
  6. Press the roll mode switch to view code details if there are any.
  7. Use the right turn signal switch to scroll through multiple codes if needed.
  8. To clear codes (optional), press the right turn signal switch when the “CLR?” question appears, then hold and release the roll mode switch.
  9. Press the left turn signal switch to return to the list of control units.

How to Reset the Codes on a John Deere?

Resetting fault codes on a John Deere tractor or equipment can vary depending on the model. Some models may require activating the hazard switch or disengaging the solenoid. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-II scanner to clear the codes.

However, it’s important to note that simply clearing the codes without addressing the underlying issue may cause the codes to reappear later. For proper fault code diagnosis and reset, it is recommended to contact a John Deere expert or visit the nearest service center.

For John Deere skid steers, follow this procedure to clear the codes:

  1. Activate the hazard switch or disengage the solenoid, if applicable.
  2. Alternatively, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the codes.
  3. Remember that clearing the codes without fixing the problem may lead to their reappearance.
  4. To ensure proper diagnosis and reset, seek assistance from a John Deere expert or visit a service center.

How to Clear the Codes on a John Deere Skid Steer?

To clear codes on a John Deere Skid Steer, follow these steps:

  1. On the monitor, locate the “MENU” button and press and hold it for about 5 seconds until the screen displays “CODES.”
  2. Use the arrow keys or navigation buttons on the monitor to select “SELECT.” This will allow you to view the engine and machine diagnostic codes.
  3. As you scroll through the codes, take note of any numbers or messages you see. It’s essential to write them down for reference.
  4. Continue scrolling through the codes until you reach “END.” This indicates that you have gone through all the available diagnostic codes.
  5. After reaching “END,” press the “SELECT” button once more. The monitor will display the message “WAIT.”
  6. To clear all the John Deere diagnostic codes from the system, hold down the “SELECT” button for at least 5 seconds. This action will reset the codes.
  7. After clearing the codes, monitor the system for any reoccurrence of fault codes. If the same code reappears, it is recommended to seek assistance from a John Deere expert for further diagnosis and resolution of the underlying issue.

What Should I Do If I Receive Fault Codes Again?

If you receive fault codes again after clearing them, it indicates that the original problem still exists. It is possible that the previous repair was not done correctly or did not fully resolve the issue.

While some diagnostic codes indicate straightforward problems that can be addressed with simple troubleshooting and fixes, others may require further investigation and the expertise of a technician.

It is essential to refer to the service manual for guidance on troubleshooting and potential solutions. However, for more complex or critical problems, it is best to seek the help of a qualified expert who can properly diagnose and resolve the issue. They will have the knowledge and experience to address the problem effectively and ensure the fault codes do not reappear.

Wrap Up

Thank you for your patience. We have covered all the essential fault codes related to ECU, BCU, ACU, and TCU in John Deere tractors.

A helpful tip is to always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations when attempting to fix fault codes on your own.

If you encounter difficulties in troubleshooting, it is best to visit the nearest John Deere service center or seek the assistance of a qualified John Deere expert. They have the expertise to properly diagnose and address any issues.

I look forward to providing you with more information in the next write-up. Until then, take care and best of luck with your John Deere tractor!
