1. 1

   Inspect the stereo volume decrease button on the CommandARM console for physical sticking, spilled liquids, or debris lodged in the switch mechanism.

2. 2

   Inspect the wiring harness connecting the CommandARM to the main cab harness for pinches, chafing, or loose connections.

3. 3

   Check the connections at the Armrest Interface Control (AIC) board inside the armrest for loose connectors or corrosion.

1. 1

   Disconnect Power

   Disconnect the tractor's battery to prevent electrical shorts or static damage during disassembly.

2. 2

   Remove CommandARM

   Remove the CommandARM assembly from the operator seat.

3. 3

   Disconnect Connectors

   Remove the securing screws and disconnect the navigation bar connector.

4. 4

   Access the Internals

   Lower the bottom cover of the CommandARM to access the internal modules and the AIC board.

5. 5

   Handle Circuit Boards Safely

   CRITICAL OEM WARNING: The AIC board is highly susceptible to static electricity damage. You must use a grounding strap when handling the circuit boards. Only handle the circuit boards by their edges. Bending the circuit board will cause damage to the chips.

6. 6

   Replace the Module

   Disconnect the control harness from the armrest control unit. Replace the faulty CommandARM Switch Module (CSM) or the specific shortcut bar control containing the stereo switches.

7. 7

   Reassembly

   Install the new module and reassemble the CommandARM in the reverse order of disassembly.
