Case IH 1967-03 - UCM – UCM: Rear pilot head #5 Voltage Above Normal, or Shorted to High Source
Issue description
The control module is receiving a voltage signal from the component's circuit that exceeds the maximum expected operational limit. This is typically caused by a wire shorting directly to battery power, a loss of ground, or an internal short within the sensor/component itself.
Applies to these machines
1 machine- MAGNUM AFS Connect
Check the cause
Disconnect the "Rear pilot head #5" component and check if the voltage on the signal wire drops. If it does, the component is internally shorted.
Inspect the wiring harness between the UCM and the component for chafing, melted insulation, or areas where the signal wire may be shorting to a 12V power supply wire.
Check the UCM connectors and the component connectors for corrosion, bent pins, or water intrusion that could bridge power to the signal circuit.
Verify the UCM's own power supply voltages, as UCM supply voltage spikes (e.g., Fault 1901 - UCM Supply Voltage High) can sometimes cause cascading sensor voltage faults.
Repair steps
Repair or replace wiring
Repairing or replacing the section of the wiring harness where the short to power is located.
Replace component
Replacing the "Rear pilot head #5" component if it is found to be internally shorted.
Clear fault code
Reconnecting all harnesses and using the Case IH EST (Electronic Service Tool) to clear the fault code and verify the repair.
