Check the cause
Cycle the key switch off and back on to see if communication resets
Check for related voltage codes (e.g., 000158.01 or 000158.18) and verify battery/alternator output
Inspect fuses and relays in the Cab Load Center that supply power to the roof module
Test the CAN High and CAN Low wires between the CLC and RLC for continuity, high resistance, or shorts
Repair steps
Disconnect Power
Turn off the machine and disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electrical damage.
Access the Modules
Locate the Cab Load Center (usually behind the seat or right-hand console) and the Cab Roof Module (RLC), which requires removing the inner roof/headliner panels.
Inspect Connectors
Disconnect the wiring harnesses at both the CLC and RLC. Inspect the pins for corrosion, moisture intrusion, or pushed-out pins. Clean with contact cleaner if necessary.
Verify Power and Ground
Reconnect the battery temporarily and turn the key to ON. Probe the power and ground pins at the RLC connector to ensure the module is receiving full battery voltage and has a clean ground to the chassis.
Repair Wiring
If power, ground, or CAN bus continuity fails, trace the cab wiring harness and repair any chafed, broken, or pinched wires.
Replace the RLC
If the wiring harness is fully intact, the connectors are clean, and the RLC is receiving proper power and ground but still won't communicate, the Cab Roof Module (RLC) has failed internally and must be replaced.
Reprogramming
Install the new RLC. Note that a new module may require software calibration/programming by a John Deere dealer using the Service ADVISOR tool to sync with the tractor's specific lighting and HVAC configuration.
