1. 1

   Follow the on-screen display instructions to re-engage Range C. Determine if the range stays engaged or immediately jumps out again under load.

2. 2

   Ensure the GPM control software is functioning correctly. Check for any available software updates from John Deere, as software bugs can sometimes cause unexpected range disengagement codes.

3. 3

   Check the transmission system for any external issues, such as improper adjustments, loose connections, or damaged linkages that might cause Range C to disengage unexpectedly.

4. 4

   Refer to the operator's manual for specific instructions on engaging ranges and basic troubleshooting to ensure operator error is not triggering the code.

1. 1

   Clear and Test

   Re-engage Range C and test drive the tractor under load to replicate the issue.

2. 2

   Update Software

   If the issue is intermittent and no mechanical noise is present, flash the GPM with the latest software version to rule out a control logic bug.

3. 3

   Mechanical Inspection

   If the software is up to date and the transmission physically jumps out of gear, a mechanical teardown of the transmission range section is required.

4. 4

   Inspect Internal Components

   Look for signs of wear, damage, or improper adjustments on the Range C shift fork, synchronizer rings, and mating gears.

5. 5

   Replace Worn Parts

   Replace any worn synchronizers or bent shift forks.

6. 6

   Reassemble and Calibrate

   After reassembly, refill with John Deere Hy-Gard transmission fluid and perform a transmission calibration procedure via the dealer diagnostic tool (Service ADVISOR) so the GPM can relearn the shift points.
