Case IH 4216-18 - DEC – EHR (Electronic Hitch/Remote) / Transmission Control Unit (TCU): Transmission reverse clutch solenoid minimum quick fill calibration time limit exceeded
Issue description
The exact fault code 4216-18 could not be verified in public Case IH literature. Depending on the specific machine and module, code 4216 translates to 'Rear Remote No.1 - Valve Spool Not Calibrated' (EHR Module) or 'Short circuit to ground at clutch K3' (TCU).
Applies to these machines
4 machines- MAGNUM AFS Connect
- Case IH Magnum 235–340 (Series 4)
- Case STX Steiger tractors (350 to 600 HP)
- Case C, D, & E Series Wheel Loaders
Check the cause
If diagnosing the Transmission Control Valve (ZF/Case TCU 4216): Check the cable running from the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) to the transmission control valve for damage or shorts to ground
If diagnosing the Transmission Control Valve (ZF/Case TCU 4216): Inspect the connectors from the TCU to the transmission control valve for corrosion or backed-out pins
If diagnosing the Transmission Control Valve (ZF/Case TCU 4216): Measure the regulator resistance on the clutch solenoid
If diagnosing the Transmission Control Valve (ZF/Case TCU 4216): Check the internal wire harness of the transmission for continuity and shorts
If diagnosing the Rear Remote Valve (Case IH EHR 4216): Verify that the rear remote valve spool has been properly calibrated using the tractor's display or diagnostic tool
Repair steps
Repair or replace wiring harness
For the Transmission Solenoid Short (Clutch K3 / Reverse Solenoid): If the diagnostic checks reveal a short to ground in the wiring harness, repair or replace the affected harness section.
Replace clutch/reverse solenoid
For the Transmission Solenoid Short (Clutch K3 / Reverse Solenoid): If the resistance check on the solenoid fails, drain the transmission fluid, access the transmission control valve body, and replace the faulty clutch/reverse solenoid.
Calibrate Rear Remote No. 1
For the EHR Valve Spool: Enter the tractor's calibration menu and execute the calibration procedure for Rear Remote No. 1.
Replace spool valve or position sensor
For the EHR Valve Spool: If calibration fails repeatedly, the spool valve or its position sensor may require replacement.
