New Holland 1016 – Hitch Controller, Armrest Controller, ATC (Alta Implement) Controller, EDC (Electronic Draft Control), or Hydraulic Lift Controller: Not implemented / L/H load sensing pin signal too low

This fault code has two definitions depending on the model and controller. 'Not implemented': The controller is receiving a command or signal over the CAN data bus for a feature or sensor that is not installed or configured. 'L/H load sensing pin signal too low': The electronic draft control system detects that the signal voltage from the Left-Hand draft load sensing pin has dropped below the acceptable range, indicating a short to ground, open circuit, or internal failure.

1. 1

   If diagnosing L/H load sensing pin (most common cause): Inspect the wiring harness and connector at the left-hand lower link draft pin for physical damage, broken wires, or corrosion.

2. 2

   If diagnosing L/H load sensing pin: Use a multimeter to check the reference voltage (usually 5V or 8V depending on the model) at the sensor connector.

3. 3

   If diagnosing L/H load sensing pin: Swap the left and right load sensing pins (if identical) to see if the code changes to 1014/1015 (Right-Hand pin codes). If the code moves, the pin is internally failed.

4. 4

   If diagnosing 'Not implemented' software issue: Verify the software configuration on the Universal Display and Armrest controller. Ensure the implement settings match the physical hardware connected to the tractor.

5. 5

   If diagnosing 'Not implemented' software issue: Check for corrupted calibration values in the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) and ensure no optional controllers are missing or disconnected from the CAN bus.

1. 1

   Lower the 3-point hitch

   For a Failed Load Sensing Pin: Lower the 3-point hitch to the ground to relieve all pressure from the lower link arms.

2. 2

   Disconnect electrical harness

   Disconnect the electrical harness from the left-hand draft pin.

3. 3

   Remove retaining hardware

   Remove the retaining bolt/snap ring holding the draft pin in the lower link bracket.

4. 4

   Remove old pin

   Drive the old pin out. Note: If the wiring is broken flush at the base of the pin, it cannot be spliced and the pin must be replaced.

5. 5

   Install new pin

   Install the new OEM load sensing pin and secure the retaining hardware.

6. 6

   Reconnect harness

   Reconnect the electrical harness.

7. 7

   Perform autocalibration

   Crucial Final Step: Perform the Hydraulic Lift Autocalibration routine. The system will often prompt you to do this by displaying fault code 1024 after a component replacement.

8. 8

   Install elimination kit (Alternative)

   Alternative Repair: If draft control is not used, install a Draft Load Sensing Pin Elimination Kit. This plugs into the harness to trick the EDC into reading a normal load, permanently clearing the 1016 code and disabling draft sensing.

9. 9

   Access display monitor

   For a Software/Configuration Issue ('Not implemented'): Access the tractor's display monitor and navigate to the implement/hitch configuration settings.

10. 10

    Disable uninstalled sensors

    Disable any draft pin sensors or auxiliary hydraulic functions that are not physically installed on the machine.

11. 11

    Re-flash controller

    If the code persists, a dealer may need to re-flash the Armrest or Hitch controller to clear corrupted CAN bus memory.
