Case IH 14111 – Instrument Cluster: Fuel level sensor not configured

This is a software configuration error indicating that the control module recognizes the system architecture should have a fuel level sensor, or it detects one on the network, but the sensor has not been enabled or configured within the machine's software settings.

• MAXXUM T4E
• Farmall Series (40-45-50 CVT, 105U, 110U, 115U)
• Maxxum
• Puma
• Magnum
• Optum

1. 1

   Verify Configuration: Access the AFS Pro display or the instrument cluster's diagnostic menu to check if the fuel level sensor is toggled "off" or "not configured" in the software.

2. 2

   Wiring & Voltage Checks: If configuring the sensor triggers a new fault (such as 14051 for a short to Vcc/open circuit, or 14052 for a short to ground), check the wiring from the fuel level sensor connector to the instrument controller.

3. 3

   Turn the key to the ON position and verify there is 8 VDC power at the supply pin of the sensor connector.

4. 4

   Check for good continuity between the ground pin and a clean chassis ground.

5. 5

   Verify continuity between the sensor connector signal pins and the instrument cluster controller pins.

1. 1

   Park the tractor on a flat surface, apply the handbrake, and put the shuttle lever in the park position.

2. 2

   Turn the ignition key to the ON position (do not start the engine).

3. 3

   Enter the diagnostic mode.

   On newer tractors (Puma, Magnum, Optum), navigate to the diagnostics menu on the AFS Pro display via Settings > Tractor > Diagnostic Trouble Codes. On older models or Farmall series, enter the "H-menu" (or ADIC menu) by pressing and holding the diagnostic button sequence on the instrument cluster.

4. 4

   Navigate to the Instrument Cluster configuration sub-menu.

5. 5

   Locate the parameter for the Fuel Level Sensor and change its status from "Not Configured" to "Configured" or "Present".

6. 6

   Save the configuration and exit the menu.

7. 7

   Cycle the key (turn off, wait 10 seconds, turn back on) to verify that fault code 14111 has moved from "Active" to "Stored" or has cleared entirely.

8. 8

   If the sensor is physically damaged or the wiring is shorted, configuring it will immediately trigger a hardware fault code (14051 or 14052). In that case, repair the wiring harness or replace the sensor.
