2000 Series Tractors
7. Locate, but do not disconnect the EPS harness con-
nector behind the battery. See Figure 6B.6.
8. Check for battery voltage at the red wire:
8a. Set the Digital Multi Meter (DMM) to the DC
volts scale.
8b. Measure the battery voltage across the bat-
tery terminals
NOTE: If the battery voltage is < 12.6 volts, charge
the battery before continuing.
8c. Connect the black (-) lead of the DMM to the
negative post of the battery.
8d. Back probe EPS harness connector at the red
wire with a black trace, with the red (+) lead of
the DMM.
NOTE: The DMM should read battery voltage.
9. Check the ground to the EPS: See Figure 6B.7.
9a. Set the DMM to the DC volts scale.
9b. Connect the red (+) lead to the positive post of
the battery.
9c. Back probe EPS harness connector at the
green wire using the black (-) lead of the
DMM.
NOTE: The DMM should read battery voltage. If it
does not, disconnect the EPS harness. If
you now have battery voltage at the EPS
harness connector (tractor side), there is a
short in the EPS assembly. If not, repair the
tractor harness.
9d. Place an amp clamp meter on the red wire
with a black trace. See Figure 6B.8.
NOTE: Cut the tape that seals the loom at the EPS
connector end of the harness and slide the
loom off of the wires to attach the amp
clamp.
9e. Start the tractor.
NOTE: The voltage reading on the DMM should
now read over 13 volts. If it does not, repair
the charging circuit before proceeding with
troubleshooting the EPS system.
