Massey Ferguson 0B.00.15 – Mid Mount Valve Module: Loader Mid Mount Electro Valve Solenoid High Amp Draw

The system has detected that the electrical current (amperage) being pulled by the solenoid responsible for actuating the mid-mount loader hydraulic valve is exceeding the maximum allowable threshold. This is typically caused by a short circuit to ground in the wiring harness or an internally shorted solenoid coil.

1. 1

   Trace the wiring loom from the Mid Mount Valve Module to the loader valve block for chafed wires, melted insulation, or pinched lines that could cause a short to ground.

2. 2

   Disconnect the plug at the solenoid and check for water ingress, corrosion, or bent pins.

3. 3

   Use a multimeter to measure the resistance (Ohms) across the solenoid pins. A reading of zero or near-zero indicates the coil is internally shorted.

4. 4

   Ensure the hydraulic fluid is clean and at the proper level. Contaminated fluid can cause the valve spool to stick, forcing the solenoid to overwork.

1. 1

   Safety First

   Lower the loader to the ground to relieve all hydraulic system pressure. Disconnect the tractor's battery to prevent accidental electrical spikes.

2. 2

   Locate the Valve

   Locate the mid-mount electro valve block, which is typically mounted near the transmission housing or mid-chassis where the loader hydraulic lines connect.

3. 3

   Remove the Solenoid

   Disconnect the electrical connector from the faulty solenoid. Remove the retaining nut or bolt at the end of the valve stem.

4. 4

   Swap the Coil

   Slide the old solenoid coil off the hydraulic valve cartridge. (Note: You usually do not need to remove the hydraulic cartridge itself, which prevents fluid loss).

5. 5

   Install the New Part

   Slide the new solenoid onto the stem, secure it with the retaining nut, and plug in the electrical connector.

6. 6

   Test

   Reconnect the battery, start the tractor, and operate the loader joystick to ensure smooth engagement and verify that the 0B.00.15 code has cleared.
