Case IH 11061 – AUX67 or AUX89: 1st remote FLOW potentiometer is failed low

The controller is receiving a voltage signal from the flow control potentiometer (located in the armrest for the first electro-hydraulic remote valve) that is below the acceptable minimum threshold. This typically points to a failed potentiometer, an open circuit, or a short to ground in the wiring.

1. 1

   Inspect the wiring harness and connector leading to the 1st remote flow potentiometer inside the armrest for pinched wires, loose pins, or a short to ground.

2. 2

   Check the potentiometer for physical damage or a dead spot.

3. 3

   Attempt to recalibrate the remote valves via the A-post display to see if the controller can read the potentiometer's sweep. If the A-post display shows the remote is stuck in a specific position or fails calibration, the potentiometer is likely internally failed.

1. 1

   Power Down

   Turn off the tractor and disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts during the repair.

2. 2

   Access the Armrest Controls

   Remove the secondary control panel/cover on the armrest to access the underside of the remote valve controls.

3. 3

   Remove the Knob

   Pull off or unscrew the flow control knob from the top of the 1st remote flow potentiometer.

4. 4

   Remove the Potentiometer

   Disconnect the electrical connector from the potentiometer. Remove the retaining nut (3/8-32 thread) securing the potentiometer to the mounting plate, and pull the potentiometer out.

5. 5

   Install the New Part

   Insert the new potentiometer, secure it with the retaining nut, and reattach the flow control knob.

6. 6

   Reconnect Power

   Reconnect the electrical connector and the tractor's battery.

7. 7

   Calibrate the Remote Valves

   Hold the 'PROG' key on the A-post display while turning the ignition key to the ON position. Navigate to the 'ARM' (Armrest) section to find the calibration menu. Follow the on-screen prompts to move the levers (typically pull back, then forward, then to neutral). Turn off the key and wait 30 seconds before starting the tractor to save the calibration.
