1. 1

   Check power and ground connections to the AUX controller, specifically connector C053 and the main ground, as voltage drops can cause logic errors.

2. 2

   Check the AUX controller status using the Electronic Service Tool (EST).

3. 3

   Carry out a CAN bus check to ensure the controller is communicating properly with the rest of the tractor's network.

1. 1

   Inspect Wiring

   Physically inspect the wiring harness leading to the AUX controller. Clean and secure the battery connection (C053) and the main ground.

2. 2

   Clear and Reboot

   Clear the fault code using the diagnostic interface or EST. Shut down the tractor completely, wait a moment, and restart the machine.

3. 3

   Evaluate

   If the fault code does not return, it was likely a transient voltage glitch.

4. 4

   Software Flash

   If the same fault code appears again upon restart, it is highly likely a software problem. Contact your district service manager or local dealer to have the AUX controller's software reflashed/updated.

5. 5

   Hardware Replacement

   If reprogramming fails or the module is unresponsive, the hardware has failed and the AUX controller must be replaced.
