John Deere 653.13 – Engine Control Unit (ECU): Injector Number 3 Calibration Code Error

The engine controller recognizes the injector's part number, but the QR calibration string programmed into the system is invalid, missing, or not what is expected.

1. 1

   Verify if Fuel Injector #3 was recently replaced. A new injector installed without programming its specific calibration code into the ECU will trigger this fault.

2. 2

   Locate cylinder #3 and physically read the QR code / calibration string printed on the injector body.

3. 3

   Connect the John Deere Service ADVISOR diagnostic tool to the machine's diagnostic port to read the current calibration code stored in the ECU for cylinder #3 and compare it to the physical code on the injector.

1. 1

   Connect the John Deere Service ADVISOR laptop to the machine's diagnostic data port.

   Ensure the diagnostic tool is properly connected to communicate with the ECU.

2. 2

   Navigate to the ECU programming and injector calibration section.

   Access the specific menu for injector calibration within the Service ADVISOR software.

3. 3

   Manually enter the correct QR code/calibration string from Injector #3 into the software.

   Perform this step if the physical injector matches the engine but the code in the ECU is wrong or missing.

4. 4

   Scan the barcode on the box to download the injector information from the John Deere Custom Performance website.

   This is an alternative method if using a John Deere service replacement injector box.

5. 5

   Save the calibration to the ECU.

   Ensure the new calibration string is successfully written to the engine controller.

6. 6

   Clear the 000653.13 fault code.

   Use the diagnostic tool to erase the logged fault code from the ECU memory.

7. 7

   Cycle the key and run the engine to verify the code does not return and that the engine runs balanced.

   Confirm the repair was successful by checking for smooth engine operation and no returning fault codes.

8. 8

   Replace the injector entirely, followed by the same programming steps for the new unit.

   Perform this step if the injector is faulty, physically damaged, or the QR code is illegible.
