1. 1

   Inspect connections on the hydraulic valve or Mid Mount Valve Module for loose, corroded, or damaged pins

2. 2

   Test the Loader Mid Mount Electro Valve Solenoid circuits for an open circuit, low amp draw, or high amp draw

3. 3

   Verify the voltage from the loader selector switch in the cab to ensure the module is receiving the correct command signals

4. 4

   Check if the valves have lost their calibration parameters and perform a recalibration if necessary

1. 1

   Locate the Valve

   Identify the Mid Mount Electro Valve block (typically located under the right side of the cab or mid-chassis, used for the loader).

2. 2

   Disconnect and Inspect

   Unplug the wiring harness from the spool position sensor. Inspect the connector for moisture or debris.

3. 3

   Remove the Sensor

   Unbolt or unthread the faulty spool position sensor from the hydraulic control valve body.

4. 4

   Install the Replacement

   Fit the new spool position sensor into the valve block and secure it.

5. 5

   Reconnect Wiring

   Plug the tractor's wiring harness back into the new sensor.

6. 6

   Calibrate the Valve

   Using a compatible diagnostic tool or the tractor's dash interface, perform a valve calibration so the control module can learn the new sensor's travel values.

7. 7

   Clear Codes

   Clear the DTCs from the system and test the hydraulic joystick to ensure smooth operation.
