Check the cause
Verify communication between the Dash and the Mid Mount Valve Module (check for related M16 errors)
Inspect the wiring harness and connectors leading to External Hydraulic Valve 2 for corrosion, damage, or loose pins
Use a compatible diagnostic tool to monitor the Spool Position Sensor value for Valve 2 to see if it is reading out of range or erratically
Repair steps
Retrieve Codes
Connect a compatible diagnostic tool to the tractor to confirm the 0A.23.29 code and check for any secondary codes (like M16 or M17).
Inspect the Harness
Locate the Mid Mount Valve Module and External Hydraulic Valve 2. Disconnect the wiring harness and inspect the terminals.
Clean Connections
Clean the connectors with electrical contact cleaner and reconnect them securely to rule out a simple connection problem.
Test/Replace Sensor
If the wiring is intact but the spool position sensor value is still incorrect, the spool position sensor on Valve 2 may need to be replaced.
Replace Valve (if necessary)
If the sensor is integrated or the valve itself has failed mechanically/electrically, replace the External Hydraulic Valve 2 (spool valve) assembly.
Clear Codes
After repair, use the diagnostic tool to clear the DTCs and test the hydraulic function to ensure the code does not return.
