Massey Ferguson 0B.02.11 – Dash / Mid Mount Valve Module: Loader Mid Mount Electro Valve Solenoid Low Amp Draw

The electrical current (amperage) flowing through the solenoid circuit for the loader's mid-mount electro-hydraulic valve is lower than the expected threshold. This typically points to an open circuit, a disconnected plug, damaged wiring (high resistance), or a burnt-out solenoid coil.

1. 1

   Visually inspect the wiring harness leading to the mid-mount electro valve block solenoids for chafing, cuts, or pinch points.

2. 2

   Disconnect the electrical plug at the affected solenoid and check for water ingress, corrosion, or pushed-back pins.

3. 3

   Perform a coil resistance test using a multimeter across the two pins of the solenoid coil (an infinite/OL reading indicates a dead/open coil).

4. 4

   Check the continuity of the wiring harness from the solenoid connector back to the Mid Mount Valve Module to rule out a broken wire.

1. 1

   Power Down

   Turn off the tractor and disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits while working on the electrical system.

2. 2

   Relieve Pressure

   Lower the loader to the ground and cycle the joystick to relieve any residual hydraulic pressure in the mid-mount valve block.

3. 3

   Remove the Solenoid

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

4. 4

   Slide Off the Coil

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

5. 5

   Install New Solenoid

   Slide the new solenoid coil onto the cartridge stem. Install and tighten the retaining nut.

6. 6

   Reconnect and Test

   Reconnect the electrical harness. Reconnect the battery, start the tractor, and clear the active DTCs using the dash interface or a compatible diagnostic tool. Test the loader joystick to ensure proper operation and verify the code does not return.
