Case IH t20 – Engine Control Unit (ECU): After-Run Not Completed, Data Valid But Below Normal Range

Issue description

This typically indicates an issue during the engine or module's power-down sequence (the "after-run" phase), where the system fails to complete its shutdown cycle properly and the recorded data falls below the expected normal parameters.

Applies to these machines

  • MXM
  • Case IH MXM Series (MXM 120, 130, 140, 155, 175, 190)
  • Case IH Steiger Series
  • Case IH MX / TG Series

Check the cause

  1. Test battery voltage to ensure power isn't dropping out prematurely

  2. Check main power relays for proper operation

  3. Inspect ECU ground connections

  4. Consult the specific tractor's service manual for unique diagnostic features

Repair steps

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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".

  4. 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.
