Case IH 18059 – Armrest Control Module (ACM): Joystick 2 proportional rocker switch - voltage too low

Issue description

Indicates 'Joystick 2 proportional rocker switch - voltage too low'. If this specific joystick function is not applicable to your machine's setup (such as CCM/APH), the code may simply indicate an incorrect configuration of the ACM.

Applies to these machines

  • Magnum
  • Case IH Magnum 235 - 340 (Series 4)
  • Case IH Steiger
  • Case IH Puma

Check the cause

  1. Verify that the Armrest Control Module (ACM) is configured correctly for the tractor's installed options using the Electronic Service Tool (EST)

  2. Inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the Armrest Control Module and Joystick 2 for pinched wires, chafing, or disconnected pins

  3. Verify that the joystick is receiving the correct reference voltage from the ACM

  4. Test the proportional rocker switch on Joystick 2 for internal failure or a short to ground

Repair steps

  1. Check ACM configuration

    Connect the diagnostic service tool to the tractor and check the ACM configuration settings. If the configuration is incorrect for your machine's hydraulic/joystick setup, reconfigure the ACM and clear the code.

  2. Disconnect harness

    If the configuration is correct, power down the machine and disconnect the harness at Joystick 2 and the ACM.

  3. Test signal wire

    Use a multimeter to perform continuity and short-to-ground tests on the signal wire for the proportional rocker switch.

  4. Repair wiring

    Repair any damaged wiring or replace the damaged connector pins.

  5. Replace switch or joystick

    If the wiring harness tests good and the ACM is outputting the correct reference voltage, the fault lies within the joystick itself. Replace the proportional rocker switch or the entire multi-function joystick assembly.

  6. Verify repair

    Reconnect all components, power on the machine, and operate the joystick to verify the fault code does not return.
