Case IH 628-25 - ACM – ACM: Armrest controller application software disagreement
Issue description
Indicates a software version mismatch or conflict within the machine's Controller Area Network (CAN). This typically occurs when the software flashed to the armrest controller does not match the expected version or is incompatible with the software running on the master vehicle controller or other networked modules.
Applies to these machines
2 machines- MAGNUM AFS Connect
- Case IH Magnum 235 - 340 (Series 4)
Check the cause
Verify that the ACM is communicating properly on the CAN bus (e.g., checking for related communication codes like 1012: 'No communication with the ACM')
Use the Case IH Electronic Service Tool (EST) to read the current software version of the ACM and compare it against the software versions of the Tractor Controller Unit (TCU) and other modules
Determine if any modules (especially the ACM or TCU) were recently replaced or flashed with new software, which is the most common trigger for a software disagreement
Repair steps
Connect diagnostic tool
Connect the Case IH Electronic Service Tool (EST) to the machine's diagnostic port.
Navigate to programming
Navigate to the programming/flashing section of the EST.
Download software
Download the latest compatible software package for the specific tractor serial number.
Reflash modules
Reflash the ACM (and potentially the TCU or other conflicting modules) so that all controllers are running on the same, compatible software baseline.
Verify repair
Cycle the key power and clear the fault codes to verify the 628-25 code does not return.
Parts you might need
(1)Armrest Controller Module (ACM)
If the ACM hardware has failed and cannot accept a software flash, the entire armrest controller unit may need to be replaced. Part numbers are highly specific to the tractor model, cab configuration, and serial number break.
