Check the cause
Inspect both load sensing pin connectors (C047 and C048) to ensure they are securely plugged in, not damaged, and that the internal pins are in the correct position and free of corrosion.
Inspect the wiring harness between the load sensing pins and the central controller for continuity, open circuits, or shorts.
Verify that the XCM/EDC controller itself has not failed.
Repair steps
Disconnect harness
Option A (If draft control is required): Disconnect the wiring harness from the defective load sensing pins on the lower link arms.
Remove pins
Remove the defective pins from the hitch assembly.
Install new pins
Install the new OEM load sensing pins and secure them.
Reconnect harness
Reconnect the wiring harness.
Clear error code
Clear the error code from the diagnostic menu.
Perform calibration
Perform a hydraulic lift auto-calibration to ensure the system reads the new pins correctly.
Unplug harness
Option B (If draft control is NOT needed): Unplug the wiring harness from both defective draft load sensing pins.
Install elimination modules
Plug the two Electronic Load Sensing Elimination Modules directly into the tractor's harness in place of the pins.
Secure modules
Secure the modules and wiring out of the way using tie wraps.
Clear error code
Clear the error code. The diagnostic system will no longer look for the pins, and the tractor can be operated immediately.
