Case IH 18403 – ICP (Integrated Control Panel) / EHR control module: EHR 4 Program / Motor Mode Switch: 'EHR_Mode_4Sw' CAN signal from ICP - error state

Issue description

Indicates a communication or signal failure on the CAN data bus. Specifically, the system is receiving an invalid or error-state signal from the Integrated Control Panel (ICP) regarding the program/motor mode switch for the #4 Electro-Hydraulic Remote (EHR) valve. This means the tractor's computer cannot verify the position or command of the EHR 4 switch located on the armrest.

Applies to these machines

  • VESTRUM CVX
  • Case IH Magnum
  • Case IH Puma
  • Case IH Optum
  • Case IH Steiger & Quadtrac

Check the cause

  1. Check CAN Bus Communication: Verify that the ICP is communicating properly with the rest of the tractor. Other codes (such as 1013 "No communication with the ICP") may indicate a broader CAN bus failure rather than an isolated switch issue.

  2. Inspect the Multicontroller Armrest: Check the physical condition of the configurable color-coded EHR 4 lever/switch on the armrest for physical damage, sticking, or debris.

  3. Check Voltages: Look for related voltage codes (e.g., EHR 4 lever position voltage too high/low) which would indicate a short or open circuit in the switch's potentiometer.

  4. Harness and Connector Inspection: Inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the ICP/Armrest and the EHR 4 valve module for corrosion, backed-out pins, or wire chafing.

Repair steps

  1. Power down tractor

    Powering down the tractor and disconnecting the battery.

  2. Remove armrest trim

    Removing the trim on the Multicontroller armrest to access the ICP and EHR switch modules.

  3. Test switch

    Testing the EHR 4 switch continuity and resistance.

  4. Replace switch or ICP

    Replacing the EHR 4 switch assembly or the ICP module if the switch is integrated and has failed internally.

  5. Reassemble and clear codes

    Reassembling the armrest and clearing the fault codes via the AFS Pro monitor or dealer diagnostic tool.
