SCU523652.02

John Deere SCU523652.02 – SCU: Wired Connector Error

Issue description

The Secondary Hydraulic Control Unit (SCO) has detected a wired connector fault or an incompatible connection. The .02 FMI indicates a data rationalization error, meaning the data received is erratic, intermittent, or incorrect. This suggests a problem with the wiring harness integrity, communication on the CAN bus, or that the harness is not compatible with the control unit.

Check the cause

  1. Restart the tractor to see if the communication glitch clears

  2. Visually inspect all accessible wiring harnesses and connectors related to the SCU, SCO, and HCU for corrosion, dirt, moisture, or chafed, pinched, and broken wires

  3. Check connector security by ensuring all relevant connectors are securely seated, disconnect/reconnect them to resolve potential intermittent connection issues, and ensure unused connectors have proper dust caps

  4. If an implement is attached, check the condition of its wiring and electrical connection to the tractor

Repair steps

  1. Restart tractor
