Case IH 12213 – Universal Controller / Vehicle Control Module (XCM): Factory – actuator not initialised

The Electronic Park Lock (EPL) system has lost its calibration or initialization memory. This condition almost always occurs when the tractor's battery goes completely dead, is disconnected for maintenance, or experiences a severe voltage drop. The electronic parking brake will not release when the tractor is put into gear until the system is recalibrated.
