John Deere 002007.09 – BLC: CAN BUS PTO Module Message Issue
Issue description
The fault code indicates an internal message issue within the Main Controller (BLC), specifically a communication breakdown with the PTO Module over the CAN BUS network. The Main Controller is not receiving the expected data messages from the PTO module, which typically results in a loss of PTO functionality.

Check the cause
Check the diagnostic display for other active fault codes, especially those related to power supply or other control modules, which could indicate a wider network issue
Inspect fuses related to the PTO and control modules to ensure a module hasn't lost power
Visually inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the PTO module, the main control module, and related components for damage, corrosion, or loose connections
Check CAN BUS voltage with the key on and engine off (CAN High and CAN Low should both read approximately 2.5 volts)
Check CAN BUS resistance with the battery disconnected (should read approximately 60 ohms; a reading of 120 ohms indicates a problem with a terminating resistor)
Restart the tractor to see if a simple power cycle re-establishes communication between the modules
Repair steps
Address related fault codes
Resolve any other active fault codes first, particularly those affecting power supply or other control modules on the CAN network.
Perform diagnostic checks
Perform the diagnostic checks listed above.
Isolate the CAN BUS network
If wiring and connectors appear to be in good condition, disconnect other control modules on the CAN BUS one at a time to see if the fault code disappears. This identifies if another faulty module is disrupting the network.
Test the PTO solenoid
If CAN BUS communication is verified as intact, test the PTO solenoid for proper operation by checking for a clicking sound when power is applied or by measuring its resistance.
Swap suspected components
If a faulty module or terminating resistor is suspected, swap the component with a known good unit to confirm the diagnosis before purchasing a replacement.
Consult the Official Service Manual
Consult the official John Deere technical manual for the specific tractor model or use Operations Center™ PRO Service for detailed diagnostic and repair procedures.
