Check the cause
Operator Re-engagement: Attempt to re-engage Gear 4 and monitor for recurrence.
Inspect Transmission Mechanics: Conduct a thorough inspection of the transmission system to identify any mechanical wear, damage, or misalignment that might cause Gear 4 to slip or jump out.
Check Solenoid Function: Verify that the Gear 4 solenoid is functioning correctly, receiving proper voltage, and responding promptly without sticking.
Software Check: Verify that the GPM control software is up-to-date.
Repair steps
Clear and Retest
Clear the code and operate the tractor to see if Gear 4 jumps out again.
Software Update
If the code returns but no mechanical binding is felt, install any available GPM software updates via the John Deere Service ADVISOR tool to address potential bugs.
Solenoid Replacement
If the software is current and the wiring harness to the transmission is intact (no shorts/opens), replace the Gear 4 shift solenoid.
Mechanical Repair
If replacing the solenoid does not resolve the issue, the transmission will require a mechanical teardown to inspect the Gear 4 clutch packs, synchronizers, or shift forks for physical damage.
Monitor Performance
After making necessary adjustments or replacing parts, test drive the tractor under load to monitor the performance of Gear 4 engagement and ensure the issue is resolved.
