Check the cause
Use a compatible diagnostic tool to confirm the presence of 0A.61.1A and check for any other related hydraulic codes
Thoroughly inspect the wiring harness and electrical connector going to External Hydraulic Valve 6 for connection problems
Inspect the physical electric spool slice/valve for signs of damage, leaks, or electrical failure
Repair steps
Locate valve
Locate External Hydraulic Valve 6 on the tractor's rear hydraulic valve block.
Clean and reseat connector
Clean and reseat the electrical connector to the valve to rule out a simple connection issue. Repair any damaged wiring in the harness leading to the valve.
Replace faulty components
If the wiring is intact but the fault persists, the electric spool slice (valve) itself or its pilot pressure control is likely faulty and must be replaced.
Install replacement unit
Remove the faulty spool valve and install the replacement unit. Note: If replacing the entire Electric Spool Slice, the new unit may need to be programmed to the tractor's system to function correctly.
Clear DTCs and test
Clear the DTCs using your diagnostic tool and test the hydraulic remote to ensure the issue is resolved.
