Case IH 2262 – ZDC: CAN message DispDrivetrainStateDes counter incorrect
Issue description
Indicates a CAN communication error where the receiving module (ZDC) detects skipped, frozen, or missing messages from the sending module (typically the AFS Pro display or the armrest controller) due to an incorrect rolling message counter.

Check the cause
Check for companion codes on the AFS display to determine if multiple modules are reporting missing messages, indicating a physical CAN bus wiring problem.
Inspect power and ground to the ZDC controller, specifically checking switched fuses (e.g., F-101 [5A] and F-102 [7.5A]) for voltage drops.
Perform a CAN Bus Resistance Test by disconnecting the battery and measuring resistance between CAN High and CAN Low at the ZDC connector (should be approximately 60 ohms).
Verify software compatibility between the AFS Pro Display and the ZDC controller to ensure they are up to date and communicating correctly.
Repair steps
Clear and Retest
Clear the fault code using the AFS display or the Case IH Electronic Service Tool (EST). Cycle the key to see if the code returns immediately (hard fault) or intermittently (wiring/software glitch).
Inspect Harness Connections
Locate the ZDC controller. Disconnect the main harness and inspect the pins for corrosion, moisture, or pushed-back terminals. Clean with electrical contact cleaner and apply dielectric grease before reseating.
Inspect the Armrest/Display Harness
Inspect the CAN connectors at the back of the AFS Pro monitor and the armrest bulkhead connector.
Flash/Update Modules
If the wiring is intact and the resistance is correct (~60 ohms), connect the Case IH EST and flash the latest firmware to both the ZDC and the Display/Armrest controllers.
Module Replacement
If the ZDC controller fails to communicate entirely or continues to log the counter error despite verified wiring and software, the ZDC controller itself may have a failed internal CAN transceiver and will require replacement.
Parts you might need
(3)ZDC Controller (CVT Transmission Control Module)
OEM part numbers vary heavily by specific tractor model and chassis serial number. Look up the exact 'Transmission Controller - ZDC' in the CNH Next Generation Parts Catalog (NGPC) using the machine's PIN.
Fuses
Standard 5A and 7.5A automotive mini-fuses (for ZDC power circuits).
CAN Bus Terminating Resistor
Generic CNH part, replace if CAN resistance is 120 ohms instead of 60 ohms, indicating a blown resistor.
