ENG 3373

New Holland ENG 3373 – Engine Control Unit (ECU) / Bosch EDC7UC31: Injection Quantity Adjustment failure - EEPROM Adjustment Value Not Readable

Issue description

The ECU is unable to read stored adjustment values (IMA codes) from its internal memory. This is typically caused by a loss of programming, software corruption, or an internal hardware failure of the ECU's EEPROM chip.

Applies to these machines

  • T8.275
  • T8.300
  • T8.330
  • T8.360
  • T8.390
  • T8.420
  • CR9090
  • CX8080 Elevation
  • CX8090 Elevation (Tier 4A)

Check the cause

  1. Check for Related Codes: Look for accompanying codes that confirm memory corruption, such as ENG 3374 (Injection Quantity Adjustment failure - Invalid EEPROM Adjustment Value Checksum) or 14900 (EEPROM error).

  2. Verify IMA Programming: Connect the CNH Electronic Service Tool (EST) to the machine's diagnostic port. Navigate to the engine calibration section and check if the Injector Adjustment Values (IMA codes) are missing, blank, or scrambled.

  3. Check Power/Ground: Verify the ECU power and ground circuits. A severe voltage spike or drop can sometimes cause temporary memory corruption in the controller.

Repair steps

  1. Locate Injector Codes

    Physically inspect the top or side of all fuel injectors on the engine and write down the alphanumeric IMA adjustment code for each cylinder.

  2. Reprogram the ECU

    Using the CNH EST, attempt to manually re-enter and save the IMA codes for all fuel injectors into the Engine ECU.

  3. Cycle Power

    Save the configuration, perform an ECU reset via the service tool, and cycle the ignition key off for at least 30 seconds.

  4. Re-test

    Turn the key back on and re-check for fault codes. If ENG 3373 clears and the values are retained, the issue was a software glitch or temporary memory loss.

  5. Replace ECU (If Necessary)

    If the ECU will not accept the programming, or if the code returns immediately after a key cycle, the Bosch EDC7UC31 controller has suffered an internal EEPROM hardware failure and must be replaced.

  6. Flash New ECU

    If replacing the unit, the new ECU must be flashed with the correct machine software and the injector IMA codes must be programmed into the new unit before the engine will run properly.

Parts you might need

  • Engine Control Unit (ECU) / Engine Control Module (ECM)

    0281020048

    Bosch Hardware Part Number. A replacement ECU is not plug-and-play out of the box. It must be programmed with the specific machine's software and the individual injector IMA codes. Aftermarket cloning services are available to transfer data from the corrupted unit to a donor unit if the EEPROM can still be read.
