Check the cause

  1. Inspect the wiring harness and electrical connector at External Hydraulic Valve 5 for corrosion, bent pins, or wire chafing

  2. Check the mechanical and electrical spool valve control cables for binding or damage

  3. Use a diagnostic tool to monitor the live voltage and status of Valve 5, and attempt to clear the code to determine if it is a hard fault or an intermittent issue

Repair steps

  1. Locate valve

    Locate External Hydraulic Valve 5 in the rear hydraulic remote stack.

  2. Disconnect battery

    Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

  3. Disconnect harness

    Disconnect the electrical harness from the valve solenoid/actuator.

  4. Remove valve

    If the valve is leaking or internally bypassing, remove the mounting bolts securing the valve to the hydraulic block.

  5. Replace seals

    Replace the spool valve O-rings/gaskets (using a spool valve gasket kit) if the issue is a pressure leak.

  6. Replace valve assembly

    If the electronic actuator or the valve itself has failed, replace the entire External Hydraulic Valve 5 assembly.

  7. Reinstall valve

    Reinstall the valve, torque the mounting bolts to OEM spec, and reconnect the electrical harness and spool valve cable.

  8. Finalize repair

    Reconnect the battery, top off hydraulic fluid if any was lost, and use a diagnostic tool to clear the 0A.51.13 code. Test the remote for proper operation.
