4375

Case IH 4375 – Engine ECU / DCU / UCM / Ground Drive Controller: DEF Pump Motor Control Signal / Swashplate Angle Sensor Plausibility

Issue description

Code 4375 indicates the electrical signal to the DEF pump motor is out of range. It is often conflated with Swashplate Plausibility (Code 4752/4754), where the controller commands a specific hydraulic pump flow but the swashplate angle sensor reports a mismatched physical position.

Applies to these machines

  • Steiger T4B
  • TV380
  • TR270
  • SR series
  • SV series
  • Steiger
  • Magnum
  • Optum

Check the cause

  1. For DEF Pump (Code 4375): Check the electrical signal to the DEF pump motor for an open circuit, short to ground, short to power, or over-temperature condition.

  2. For Swashplate Plausibility (Code 4752/4754): Perform a mechanical pump isolation test by marking and removing the servo control coils from the pump stems (leaving them plugged in) to see if the machine still creeps.

  3. For Swashplate Plausibility: With cluster power ON and engine OFF, back-probe pins 3 and 4 of the swashplate angle sensor connector to verify the 5V reference power supply (should read approximately 2.5V in neutral).

  4. For Swashplate Plausibility: Perform a sweep test by slowly rotating the sensor and monitoring the multimeter for smooth voltage changes without dead spots.

Repair steps

  1. Turn the machine's cluster power ON

    Do not start the engine.

  2. Locate the swashplate angle sensors

    Mounted on the bottom of the hydrostatic pump (often protected by steel covers).

  3. Back-probe Pin 3 and Pin 4

    Use a multimeter on the sensor connector.

  4. Slightly loosen the sensor mounting bolts

    Expect minimal oil loss, as the only pressure present is head pressure from the hydraulic tank.

  5. Carefully rotate the sensor

    Rotate until the multimeter reads 2.5V across both pins (e.g., a reading of 2.4V on pin 3 and 2.6V on pin 4 is considered normal and balanced).

  6. Tighten the sensor mounting bolts

    Tighten to 27.4 in.-lb (3.1 N.m).

  7. Restart the machine and verify

    Verify that the pump neutralizes properly and the 4752 code clears. If the sensor cannot be adjusted to 2.5V, it must be replaced.

Parts you might need

(4)
  • Swashplate Angle Sensor

    Mounted to the bottom of the hydrostatic pump. Ensure you are replacing the correct side (Left vs. Right).

  • Hydrostatic Pump Servo Control Solenoids / Coils

    Replaced if the coils are shorted and commanding unrequested flow.

  • DEF Pump Assembly / Urea Pump Motor

    If addressing the actual 4375 code.

  • Caterpillar Swashplate Group

    6E-4375

    Used in D8N/D8R track-type tractors and variable displacement pumps.
