John Deere 002165.09 – SCC: CAN BUS Message Fault SCV 5
Issue description
The Selective Control Unit (SCC) is not receiving the expected communication signals from the fifth Selective Control Valve (SCV 5). This is a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communication error, indicating a communication breakdown within the tractor's hydraulic system between the SCC and the SCV 5 component.

Check the cause
Cycle tractor power to see if the electronic fault code clears upon restart
Check for other active CAN bus-related codes that might indicate a wider network issue rather than a single component failure
Verify hydraulic oil level as per the operator's manual
Visually inspect the wiring harness between the SCC controller and the SCV 5 valve body for chafing, corrosion on connectors, or pinched wires
With power off, check terminating resistors by measuring resistance between CAN High (Yellow) and CAN Low (Green) wires. Expected: ~60 ohms. A reading of 120 ohms indicates a missing or failed resistor
With power on, check CAN bus voltage. CAN High should be 2.5-3.0 volts; CAN Low should be 2.5-2.0 volts
With power off, check for shorts by measuring resistance from CAN High to ground and CAN Low to ground. Expected: open or mega-ohms
Repair steps
Isolate the issue
Swap the electrical connector from SCV 5 with an adjacent, functioning SCV. If the fault code moves to the other SCV, the SCV 5 solenoid/controller is faulty. If code 002165.09 remains, the issue is in the wiring harness or SCC.
Replace SCV solenoid or controller
If the fault moved during the isolation test, replace the SCV 5 solenoid or the electronic control unit on the valve.
Replace SCC controller
If the fault did not move and all wiring/CAN bus integrity tests passed, replace the Selective Control Unit (SCC).
Calibrate hydraulic components
After replacing an SCV component or the SCC, perform a calibration procedure using a John Deere service tool or the tractor's command center.
