John Deere ECU000107.00 – ECU or CCU: Engine Air Filter is Restricted

The Chassis Control Unit (CCU) has detected a high level of restriction in the engine's air intake system. This indicates that the engine air filter requires cleaning or replacement to ensure proper engine performance and prevent damage from contaminants. When this warning is active, the engine's performance will be reduced (derated) to protect the system.

1. 1

   Inspect the engine air intake screen for large debris and clean by hand or with a brush as needed

2. 2

   Visually inspect the primary and secondary air filters for excessive dirt and debris. Paper air filters should not be cleaned if they are dirty; they should be replaced.

3. 3

   Check for fault code recurrence after cleaning or replacing filters to determine if the air filter restriction sensor or its wiring is faulty

1. 1

   Prepare machine for service

   Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key.

2. 2

   Access air filter housing

   Locate the air filter housing, which is typically a prominent canister on the side of the engine on larger tractors. Unsnap the dust cover to access the filters.

3. 3

   Remove filters

   Remove the primary air filter. Unscrew and remove the secondary (safety) filter located inside the primary filter.

4. 4

   Clean or replace filters

   Clean the primary filter with dry compressed air (not exceeding 72.5 psi) by blowing from the inside out. Never wash, brush, or knock the filter elements. Do not clean the secondary filter; it must be replaced if dirty. It is generally recommended to replace dirty paper filters rather than cleaning them.

5. 5

   Install filters

   Install the new or cleaned secondary filter and tighten it by hand. Then, install the new primary air filter and secure the dust cover.

6. 6

   Inspect air filter restriction sensor

   If the code persists after filter replacement, the air filter restriction sensor may be faulty. Have a John Deere dealer repair it as soon as possible. A diagnostic test of the switch circuit can be performed to confirm failure before replacement.

7. 7

   Final system check

   Ensure all connections in the air intake system are tight.
