1. 1

   Inspect Connector C053 on the Auxiliary/Remote Valve Controller

2. 2

   Verify power and ground connections to the battery, checking for corrosion, loose pins, or damaged wires at the C053 harness

1. 1

   Secure Connections

   Make sure the AUX controller has a good connection (C053) to the battery and is properly grounded.

2. 2

   Clear the Code

   Use the Electronic Service Tool (EST) or in-cab diagnostic menu to clear the fault code.

3. 3

   Power Cycle

   Shut down the tractor completely, wait a moment, and restart the machine.

4. 4

   Evaluate

   If the fault code does not return, the issue was likely a transient voltage/grounding glitch.

5. 5

   Escalate

   If the same fault code appears again immediately upon restart, contact your district PSM (Product Support Manager). The controller may require a software re-flash by a dealer before hardware replacement is deemed necessary.
