1. 1

   Connect the CNH Electronic Service Tool (EST)

2. 2

   Check for any other active Level 1 errors that might have triggered the Level 2/3 entry due to functional dependencies

3. 3

   Document all codes, then perform a complete erasure of the fault code memory

1. 1

   Clear the Memory

   Erase the fault code memory using the diagnostic service tool.

2. 2

   Test Operation

   Cycle the ignition key and operate the machine to allow the ECU to run its internal self-checks.

3. 3

   Evaluate

   If the Level 2/3 error does not reappear, do not replace the ECU. If the Level 2/3 error reappears immediately or during the test run, the ECU has suffered a permanent internal failure.

4. 4

   Replace ECU (If necessary)

   If the error reappears (Scenario B), physically replace the Engine Control Unit.

5. 5

   Flash/Program

   The new ECU must be flashed with the correct software payload for the specific tractor/machine configuration using the CNH EST tool.
