Case IH F-4377-31 - ECU – Engine ECU: NH3 sensor signal out of range failure
Issue description
The NH3 (Ammonia) sensor monitors the amount of unreacted ammonia slipping past the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst. This code triggers when the sensor reports values outside the expected dynamic range, indicating that the sensor has drifted, lost calibration, or failed internally.
Applies to these machines
6 machines- MAGNUM AFS Connect
- Axial-Flow series (e.g., 240 Series, 6150, 7240, 7250, 8240, 8250, 9240)
- Magnum
- Steiger
- Maxxum
- Farmall series (e.g., Farmall 110U, Maxxum 115)
Check the cause
Check the presence and correct connection of the NH3 sensor to the CAN network
Inspect the wiring harness and the 8-pin connector going to the NH3 sensor for open circuits, short circuits, or corrosion
Verify the correct functioning of the sensor's CAN controller and ensure it is receiving proper voltage supply
Check the CAN configuration in the downstream NOx sensor, as communication errors can sometimes mimic a drifted sensor
Repair steps
Turn off the machine and disconnect the battery
to prevent electrical shorts.
Locate the NH3 sensor on the exhaust aftertreatment system
(typically mounted downstream of the SCR catalyst).
Disconnect the 8-pin electrical harness connector
from the sensor module.
Carefully unscrew and remove the defective NH3 sensor
from the exhaust pipe.
Install the new NH3 sensor
and tighten it to the manufacturer's specified torque.
Reconnect the electrical harness
Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition on
Use the Electronic Service Tool (EST) to clear the F-4377-31 fault code
Run the engine or perform a forced aftertreatment system test
to verify the new sensor is reading correctly and the code does not return.
