John Deere 002370.06 – Dash Module: High Amp Draw On Right Turn Signal

The Dash Module has detected an abnormally high electrical current in the right turn signal circuit. This condition indicates a short circuit to ground or an internal failure within a circuit component, such as an incorrect or faulty turn signal bulb, damaged wiring, or a failure within the Dash Module itself.

1. 1

   Inspect the right turn signal bulb to ensure it is not faulty and is the correct specification (12 Volt, 21 Watt)

2. 2

   Visually inspect the right turn signal wiring harness from the light assembly back to the Dash Module for chafed, pinched, or melted insulation that could cause a short to the tractor's frame (ground)

3. 3

   Perform a detailed circuit test for a short to earth in the right turn signal circuit

1. 1

   Confirm active code

   Use the vehicle's onboard diagnostics via the roll mode switch on the dash console to confirm the fault code is currently active.

2. 2

   Replace turn signal bulb

   If the bulb is suspect or incorrect, replace it with a new, correct-specification bulb. Clear the fault code and operate the right turn signal to see if the code returns.

3. 3

   Repair wiring harness

   If a short circuit is found in the wiring, cut out the damaged portion, splice in a new piece of wire of the same gauge, and ensure the connections are sealed with heat-shrink tubing to prevent moisture intrusion and future corrosion.

4. 4

   Diagnose Dash Module

   If the bulb and wiring are confirmed to be in good condition, the issue may lie within the Dash Module. Have a dealer perform advanced diagnostics on the module before condemning this high-cost component.

5. 5

   Replace Dash Module

   If the Dash Module is determined to be faulty, disconnect the battery, remove the dash console panels, unbolt the module, disconnect its electrical connectors, and install the new unit.
