Front Suspension Raise solenoid circuit shorted or open circuit
Cause:
The transmission controller monitors the Raise solenoid circuit. If the transmission controller detected open circuit
or too much current draw in circuit, this fault code will be recorded.
Possible failure mode:
1. The Raise solenoid coil failed.
2. The Raise solenoid wiring failed open or shorted to ground.
Solution:
The transmission controller measures the current draw from the Raise solenoid circuit.
If the current draw is lower than a limit, it means the circuit is open.
If the current draw is higher than a limit, it means the circuit is shorted to ground.
If the problem is temperature sensitive, the solenoid coil may be starting to fail.
1. Remove the controller cover from the rear of the tractor. Visually inspect the wiring harness from the
transmission controller towards the solenoid. Check for proper routing and wire damage.
2. Disconnect connector C355 from the transmission controller.
Measure the resistance between cavity 8 of connector C355 and the chassis ground at the wiring harness side.
The resistance should be around 10 ohms.
If the resistance is dramatically higher than specified, there is an open in the circuit.
If the resistance is close to 0, there is a shortage in the circuit.
Check the harness. If the harness is OK, check the Raise solenoid.
3. Check the Raise solenoid.
Disconnect the Raise solenoid at connector C183.
Measure the resistance between pin 1 and pin 2 of the solenoid.
The resistance should be around 10 ohms.
If the resistance is dramatically higher than specified, the Raise solenoid coil failed open.
If the resistance is close to 0, there is an internal shortage.
In either case, replace the Raise solenoid.
4. If no problem is found in above test, check both male and female pins in the cavity 8 of connector C355.
Check for no loose pin, bent pin, or any damage.
NOTE: See the Data Bus schematic section 43 on the schematic poster.
