New Holland ENG 3707 – Engine Control Module (ECM / EDC): Lambda sensor: Open circuit at the lambda sensor Nernst cell pin.
Issue description
The engine controller has detected a complete break in the electrical circuit (an open circuit) specifically on the pin that communicates the Nernst cell's voltage signal back to the computer.

Check the cause
Inspect the wiring harness running from the Lambda sensor on the exhaust system to the Engine Control Module (ECM) for chafed wires, melted insulation, or physical breaks.
Disconnect the Lambda sensor and inspect both sides of the connector for corrosion, moisture, or pushed-out pins.
Using a multimeter, check for continuity on the signal wire (Nernst cell pin circuit) between the Lambda sensor harness connector and the ECM connector. Infinite resistance indicates a harness break.
If the harness tests good, the open circuit is internal to the Lambda sensor itself (a failed Nernst cell or internal wire break).
Repair steps
Power Down
Turn off the machine and disconnect the battery via the master disconnect switch to prevent electrical spikes.
Remove the Sensor
Disconnect the Lambda sensor wiring harness connector. Using an O2 sensor socket or wrench, carefully unthread the Lambda sensor from the exhaust pipe/DPF assembly.
Install the New Sensor
Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new sensor (if not pre-applied by the manufacturer). Thread it into the exhaust and tighten to OEM torque specifications.
Reconnect
Plug the sensor connector back into the engine wiring harness. Reconnect the battery.
ECU Reset
Connect the New Holland Electronic Service Tool (EST), navigate to the Configuration Items window, and execute the "Reset ECU data (Lambda sensor)" procedure.
Clear Codes
Clear the inactive ENG 3707 fault code and run the engine to verify the code does not return.
