Check the cause
Verify operator presence by ensuring the operator's hand is correctly placed on the control (rules out related Hand Presence Switch code ACU 523775.02)
Cycle the key switch or restart the tractor to see if the ACU code clears temporarily
Disable the single lever control functionality in the CommandARM display to allow direct use of SCV controls 3 and 4 as a temporary workaround
Repair steps
Cycle power
Turn off the tractor and cycle the key switch to attempt to clear the ACU fault code.
Apply temporary workaround
If the code persists and operation must continue, access the CommandARM display and disable the single lever control functionality. This allows direct use of SCV controls 3 and 4.
Contact dealer for service
For a persistent fault, contact a John Deere dealer. Repairing the single lever control assembly typically requires specialized tools and software for diagnostics and calibration.
