My Ecu Intermittently Disconnects - IntelligentAg RECON Troubleshooting Manual

My ECU intermittently disconnects

1. Close the app by double-tapping the home button and swiping the app towards the top
of the screen. Reopen the app.
2. Are there any wireless cameras or router boosters within a 1 mile radius? If these
devices are present, disconnect power to the devices or move equipment out of range.
Close and reopen the app.
3. Is the machine near any high voltage power lines? If so, move the machine away from
the power lines. Close and reopen the app.
4. Disconnect power to all ECUs. Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect power. Close and
reopen the app.
5. Disconnect power to the TP-Link router. Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect power. Close
and reopen the app.
6. Position the TP-Link router so that it is in a vertical orientation with the TP-Link logo
facing the ECUs. Close and reopen the app.
7. Move the TP-Link router closer to the ECUs. You may power it from another vehicle or
splice into power at a different point on the machine. Close and reopen the app. If
resolved, mount the TP-Link router closer to the ECUs. Remove the vehicle adapter
from the power harness on the TP-Link router and wire directly to a different connector
or power source. Refer to the instructions in Can I hardwire my TP-Link to 12 volt
power? on page 8.
8. Are the LED lights flashing on all ECUs? If all LEDs are not flashing and power is
present on some, but not all ECUs, verify that the power harnesses are properly installed
and that the connector pins are properly seated in the connectors. To test, you can swap
harnesses from a functioning ECU. If power is good, contact your Intelligent Ag
authorized dealer for a replacement ECU.
9. Watch each ECU LED light for 60 seconds. Does the LED ever pause, skip, or flicker? If
the LED flashes erratically, find an ECU at the end of the power harness circuit. Without
disconnecting power to the ECU, back probe the wires at the power connector. Monitor
the voltage with a multimeter for 60 seconds. If power drops below 9V or exceeds 14V,
ensure that only the ECUs are drawing from the circuit and that the tractor's alternator is
functioning properly.
10. Does the LED flash at a different rate than the next ECU? If the LED flashes at a faster
or slower rate, this indicates that the ECU is attempting a firmware update. Cycle power
to the ECU, and close and reopen the app. If not resolved, fill out the System
Configuration Table in Appendix A of this document. Delete and reinstall the app. Run
the Setup wizard inputting the details you recorded.
11. Remove the convenience outlet connector from the Tractor Harness and direct wire to a
different power source.
