Schematic for the Solenoid Valve (Auxiliary Lever FORWARD)
This diagnostic code is recorded when the ECM detects an incomplete electrical path. The electrical path from the ECM to the solenoid back to the ECM is incomplete.The possible causes for this diagnostic code are listed:
The signal circuit from the ECM to the solenoid is open.
The return circuit from the solenoid is open.
The internal windings for the solenoid have high impedance.
The internal windings for the solenoid are open.System Response:The machine response is listed:
The implement function that is associated with the third function lever FORWARD will not operate.
After clearing the diagnostic code, the third function lever must be recentered before movement of the third function is allowed.Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Ignore these created diagnostic codes and clear the diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code is corrected. Note: The return lines for the solenoids are joined and the return lines connect to contacts J1-7 and J2-3 (wire H716-WH(White)) of the implement ECM.Note: Ensure that the diagnostic code indicator is active and that the diagnostic code is active.Test Step 1. CHECK THE SOLENOID.
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Disconnect the solenoid with the diagnostic code from the harness.
Observe the ON/OFF status of the diagnostic code indicator.
At the harness connector for the solenoid, place a jumper wire between contact 1 (wire H716-WH(White)) and contact 2 (wire E920-BR(Brown)). Expected Result:The diagnostic code indicator remains active.Results:
YES - The diagnostic code indicator remains active and the diagnostic code remains active. The harness has failed or the ECM has failed. Proceed to test step 2.
NO - The diagnostic code indicator is inactive.Repair: The solenoid has failed or the connecting harness has failed. Repeat this test in order to verify the failure. Repair the solenoid or replace the solenoid. Repair the connecting harness or replace the connecting harness at the solenoid.The approximate resistance of a proportional solenoid valve is from 6 to 12 Ohms.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK THE HARNESS.
Turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Remove the jumper wire from contact 1 to 2.
Reconnect the solenoid valve to the harness.
Disconnect the harness from the ECM.
At the harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance between contacts J2-3, J1-7 (wire H716-WH(White)) and contact J2-8 (wire E920-BR(Brown)). Note: The approximate resistance of a proportional solenoid valve is from 6 to 12 Ohms.Expected Result: The resistance is greater than 5000 Ohms with no continuity.Results:
YES - Resistance is greater than 5000 Ohms (no continuity).Repair: The harness circuit has failed. Wire H716-WH(White) is open in the harness between the ECM and the solenoid valve, or the wire to the solenoid valve is open. Repair the harness or replace the harness.STOP
NO - Resistance is from 6 to 12 Ohms.Repair: The harness circuit resistance is correct. It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this troubleshooting procedure again. Also recheck if the diagnostic code indicator is active for this diagnostic code. If the cause is not found, replace
