Case IH 28 – Transmission ECM: CLUTCH PACK (B) NOT CALIBRATED

Issue description

While the key switch is in the "ON" position, the ECM detects that Clutch Pack (B) lacks a valid calibration value.

Applies to these machines

  • JXC
  • Case IH MX210
  • Case IH MX230
  • Case IH MX255
  • Case IH MX285
  • Case IH Puma
  • Case IH Maxxum

Check the cause

  1. Access the Calibration Menu (H1 menu) using the tractor's CDU, Electronic Service Tool (EST), or service tool 294084.

  2. Run the H1 clutch calibration procedure and monitor for U codes (U27/U29 for values lower than 230 mA, U28/U30 for values higher than 480 mA).

  3. If a U28 or similar code is thrown during calibration, check the solenoid valve circuit and the solenoid valve itself.

  4. Test the reverse solenoid hydraulic pressure circuit to ensure proper fluid pressure is reaching the pack.

Repair steps

  1. Attempt Electronic Calibration

    Connect the EST or use the onboard CDU to enter the H1 menu and initiate the Clutch Pack (B) calibration.

  2. Inspect and Replace Solenoids

    If the calibration fails due to out-of-range mA values (U-codes), inspect the wiring harness to the transmission solenoids. If the circuit is intact, replace the faulty Clutch Pack B PWM solenoid valve.

  3. Hydraulic Pressure Test

    If the solenoid is functioning electrically, test the hydraulic pressure circuit. A lack of pressure may indicate a failing pump, blocked passage, or internal leak.

  4. Internal Transmission Repair

    If external levers, relay rods, and solenoids are functioning correctly but the clutch is dragging or failing to engage, the transmission-gearbox casing must be removed (splitting the tractor).

  5. Replace Internal Components

    Inspect and replace worn internal components, such as Clutch Pack B, damaged synchronizers, or selection sleeves.

  6. Re-calibrate

    After any hydraulic or mechanical parts are replaced, you must successfully complete the H1 calibration procedure to clear Code 28.
