Case IH 3743 – Engine Control Unit (ECU) / Electronic Diesel Control (EDC): EDC Internal Failure (Injectors Power Stage) - Error In Undervoltage Monitoring

Issue description

The engine controller has run a diagnostic fault check and detected an internal hardware or software anomaly. Specifically, the internal power stage circuitry responsible for firing the fuel injectors is registering an undervoltage condition.

Applies to these machines

  • Farmall
  • skid steer
  • SR/SV Series
  • TR/TV Series
  • SR175
  • 105N
  • 110C
  • 115U
  • Maxxum
  • Steiger
  • 240 Series Axial-Flow Combines
  • 580ST
  • 590SN

Check the cause

  1. Verify the main battery voltage is within the normal operating range (12V or 24V, depending on the machine) under load.

  2. Inspect the main engine wiring harness connecting to the EDC. Look for chafing, corrosion, or damaged pins that could cause a voltage drop to the controller.

  3. Verify all ground connections to the EDC are clean and tight.

  4. Test the main power relays feeding the EDC to ensure they are not sticking or suffering from high internal resistance.

Repair steps

  1. Disconnect Power

    Disconnect the machine's battery to prevent electrical arcing or further module damage.

  2. Remove the EDC

    Carefully disconnect the multi-pin wiring harness connectors from the faulty EDC. Unbolt the module from its mounting bracket on the engine block or firewall.

  3. Install the New EDC

    Mount the replacement EDC and secure the bolts. Reconnect the wiring harnesses and the battery.

  4. Restore Self-Learning Parameters

    A certified technician must connect the Case IH Electronic Service Tool (EST) laptop to the machine to restore self-learning parameters.

  5. Programming

    Use the EST to flash the correct machine software to the blank EDC, input the injector trim codes, and run the automated procedure to restore the engine's self-learning parameters.
