2798.03

John Deere 2798.03 – ECU: Injector High Voltage Supply #2 Out of Range High

Issue description

The supply voltage to the second bank or circuit of fuel injectors is excessively high, indicating a short circuit to a 12V power source (or higher voltage) within the injector supply circuit. The controller will often restrict engine functions or shut down the engine to prevent overheating and damage.

Check the cause

  1. Visually examine the wiring harness leading to the injection valves for signs of wear, chafing, melted insulation, or exposed wires that could be contacting a power source

  2. Using a multimeter, probe the injector supply circuit #2 to confirm the presence of high voltage or abnormal resistance readings, and check for continuity to power (short to 12V)

  3. Disconnect the main engine harness connectors at the ECU and the injector harness to inspect the pins for corrosion, moisture, or bent terminals that could bridge circuits

Repair steps

  1. Disconnect Power

    Turn off the machine and disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shocks or further damage to the ECU.

  2. Isolate the Short

    Based on your multimeter readings, trace the wiring harness from the ECU to the injector bank #2.

  3. Repair or Replace Wiring

    If a specific wire is chafed and shorting to a power source, repair the wire and re-insulate it. If the internal injector wiring harness (under the valve cover) is damaged, brittle, or shorted, it must be replaced entirely.

  4. Reassemble

    Reconnect all harnesses, ensuring that the injector harness is routed correctly and secured with the proper clamps to prevent future chafing.

  5. Reset and Test

    Reconnect the battery. Use a John Deere Service ADVISOR diagnostic tool to clear the ECU 002798.03 fault code. Start the engine and conduct a thorough test run to ensure the injection system operates correctly and the code does not return.
