Check the cause
Test battery voltage to ensure power isn't dropping out prematurely
Check main power relays for proper operation
Inspect ECU ground connections
Consult the specific tractor's service manual for unique diagnostic features
Repair steps
Verify fault code
Connect the official CNH diagnostic tool (EST) to the tractor's diagnostic port to verify if t20 is an active or stored code.
Inspect wiring and relays
Inspect the main engine wiring harness and the ECU power relays for corrosion or loose connections that could interrupt the after-run cycle.
Consult service manual
Refer to the specific Case IH service manual for your model year to follow the exact troubleshooting tree for "After-Run Not Completed".
Clear codes and test
Clear the fault codes and perform a key cycle (turning the tractor on, running it briefly, and turning it off) to see if the after-run sequence completes successfully and the code clears.
