CAB2348

John Deere CAB2348 – CAB: Cab Roof Lights 3 and 4 High Open Circuit

Issue description

The Cab Control Unit (CAB) has detected a break in the electrical circuit (open circuit) for the high beam function of cab roof lights 3 and 4. This condition prevents electrical current from completing its path, causing the lights to fail to illuminate when commanded.

Applies to these machines

  • 8R Series
  • 7R Series
  • Combines

Check the cause

  1. Visually inspect cab roof lights 3 and 4, their connectors, and visible wiring harness sections for cut wires, loose connections, or corrosion

  2. Check the main fuse box for blown fuses related to the cab or lighting circuits, and inspect associated relays for failed internal coils

  3. Remove bulbs from lights 3 and 4 to visually inspect filaments, or use a multimeter to check for continuity across the bulb terminals (an 'OL' reading indicates a failed bulb)

  4. With cab roof lights switched on, use a multimeter to check for voltage at the connector for lights 3 and 4 to isolate the open circuit location

Repair steps

  1. Disconnect power

    Park the machine on a level surface, turn off the engine, and disconnect the negative battery cable.

  2. Access wiring

    Remove the cab roof panel or headliner as needed to gain access to the roof light wiring harness.

  3. Trace the circuit

    Trace circuit cc# 585 from the CAB controller to the connectors for roof lights 3 and 4, checking intermediate connectors and junction points.

  4. Test continuity

    Disconnect both ends of the suspected wire segment and test with a multimeter. An 'OL' or infinite resistance reading confirms the open circuit location.

  5. Repair or replace wiring

    Splice in a new section of wire using sealed connectors, repair/replace damaged pins or connectors, or replace the relevant harness section if damage is extensive.

  6. Test the Repair

    Once the repair is complete, reconnect the battery and turn on the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.

  7. Clear Fault Codes

    After confirming the repair, use the tractor's diagnostic interface or a service tool to clear the stored CAB 2348 fault code.
