Check the cause
Verify the integrity of the CAN bus network leading to the rear remote stack
Inspect the electrical connector at the Rear Remote No. 1 EHR valve (often labeled X307) for pushed pins, corrosion, or moisture
Check the wiring harness for chafing, breaks, or shorts to ground/power between the EHR module and the valve
If the harness and connectors test good, evaluate the internal electronics of the EHR valve itself
Repair steps
Inspect the Connection
Locate Rear Remote Valve No. 1 at the rear hydraulic stack. Disconnect the electrical harness and inspect the pins. Clean with contact cleaner if necessary and reconnect.
Test the Harness
Using a multimeter, verify power, ground, and CAN High/CAN Low continuity from the main controller harness to the valve connector.
Replace the Valve
If wiring is intact and communication cannot be established, the EHR valve must be replaced.
Clear Codes and Calibrate
After rectifying the wiring or replacing the valve, use the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or the tractor's diagnostic monitor to clear the fault code.
Spool Calibration
Perform the EHR spool calibration procedure via the tractor's display before normal operation can resume.
