4370

Case IH 4370 – EHR (Electro-Hydraulic Remote) Controller or AUX (Auxiliary Valve) Controller: EHR pressure sensor - out of range high

Issue description

The signal voltage returning from the EHR pressure sensor to the controller has exceeded the maximum expected threshold (typically near 5 volts). This is usually caused by an internal sensor failure, an open circuit in the sensor wiring harness, or a short to power in the harness.

Applies to these machines

  • Steiger T4B
  • Magnum series (MX Magnum, Magnum 235-340 Series 4)
  • Steiger series (ST620)
  • Puma series

Check the cause

  1. Visually inspect the wiring harness leading to the EHR pressure sensor for chafing, pinched wires, or disconnected plugs.

  2. Use a multimeter to check the sensor wiring harness for an open circuit or a short to a power source.

  3. Test the resistance of the EHR pressure sensor and verify that the controller is sending the correct reference voltage (usually 5V) to the sensor plug.

  4. Verify continuity from the instrumentation/EHR controller to the sensor to rule out a controller failure.

Repair steps

  1. Turn off the tractor and relieve all hydraulic pressure from the remote valve system to prevent fluid injection injuries.

  2. Locate the broken EHR pressure sensor on the rear remote valve block.

  3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.

  4. Unthread the faulty pressure sensor from the hydraulic valve block.

  5. Install the new EHR pressure sensor (ensure any required O-rings are seated properly) and tighten to OEM torque specifications.

  6. Reconnect the electrical harness.

  7. Power on the tractor, clear the active fault codes from the EHR/AUX controller, and test the remote valves for proper operation.

Parts you might need

(1)
  • EHR Pressure Sensor (or Electro-Hydraulic Remote Valve Pressure Transducer)

    Fitment will depend heavily on the exact chassis serial number and the number of remote valves equipped on the tractor.
