1. 1

   Inspect the wiring harness and the electrical connector at External Valve 3 for corrosion, bent pins, or wire chafing.

2. 2

   Verify if the spool valve is physically sticking in one direction, which can cause the system to flag an operational issue.

3. 3

   Check the valve block and quick couplers for hydraulic fluid leaks or pressure drops.

1. 1

   Relieve all hydraulic system pressure before beginning work.

2. 2

   Locate the rear remote valve block.

   Often mounted directly on the lift cover under the seat or at the rear of the tractor.

3. 3

   Disconnect the electrical solenoid connector for Valve 3.

4. 4

   Disconnect the hydraulic lines/hoses leading to the valve.

5. 5

   Unbolt the faulty spool valve section from the hydraulic control block.

6. 6

   Rebuild or replace the spool valve.

   If rebuilding, install an OEM spool valve repair kit (replacing internal seals and O-rings). If replacing, install the new 3rd spool valve assembly.

7. 7

   Reinstall the valve, torque mounting bolts to spec, and reconnect hydraulic lines and electrical connectors.

8. 8

   Clear the DTCs using a compatible diagnostic interface device and test the hydraulic remote for proper operation.
