1. 1

   Cycle the key switch: Turn the machine off, wait a moment, and then restart it to see if the code clears, as the fault may be temporary.

1. 1

   Connect diagnostic equipment

   Connect to the vehicle's diagnostic port using specialized John Deere dealer equipment.

2. 2

   Run diagnostic software

   Communicate with the ICU using the diagnostic software to confirm the fault.

3. 3

   Reprogram the ICU

   Attempt to reprogram or flash the ICU with the correct software payload. This often resolves purely software-related faults.

4. 4

   Replace the ICU

   If reprogramming fails, the ICU is likely faulty and must be physically replaced.

5. 5

   Program new ICU

   After installation, the new module must be programmed by the dealer to match the vehicle's specific configuration and VIN.
