Case IH 2198 – ACML: ACML wrongly configured
Issue description
The Armrest Control Module (ACML) has lost its proper configuration parameters, has been programmed incorrectly, or is failing to communicate its configured state to the tractor's main controller network.
Applies to these machines
3 machines- VESTRUM CVX
- Maxxum Series (115, 135, 145, 150)
- Puma Series (150, 220)
Check the cause
Verify if the Armrest Control Module was recently replaced, as new modules require initial configuration.
Access the tractor's Universal Controller (U1) / display monitor (such as the H1 menu screen) to check the current calibration and configuration status of the armrest components.
Repair steps
Access Universal Controller
Access the tractor's Universal Controller (U1) via the cab display.
Navigate to calibration menu
Navigate to the H1 menu (or equivalent configuration screen) to perform the calibration procedures for the electronic modules.
Reconfigure ACML
Reconfigure the ACML to match the tractor's specific installed options (e.g., EHR, PTO, advanced steering).
Replace and reprogram ECU
If the ACML refuses to accept the configuration or fails to save the parameters, the physical ECU module is likely defective and must be replaced and reprogrammed.
