John Deere SCU523652.02 – SCU: Wired Connector Error

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.
