1. 1

   Use the tractor's self-diagnosis display to verify if the error code is currently active or just stored in the trouble history.

2. 2

   Inspect the Front Suspension Enable Switch in the cab for physical damage, sticking, or liquid intrusion.

3. 3

   Test the switch for proper electrical continuity across its positions.

4. 4

   Inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the cab switch and the Front Suspension controller. Look for rubbed wires causing a short to ground, a short to power, or an open circuit.

5. 5

   Check the fuses supplying the front suspension system, as related codes in this sequence (10022, 10023, 10024) indicate low 12V supply voltages often caused by blown fuses.
