NH 14903

New Holland NH 14903 – CAN Network / Main Controller: SCM controller missing (GA 12x12 only)

Issue description

CAN Network communication error indicating that the Small Control Module (SCM) has dropped offline and is no longer communicating with the rest of the tractor's network.

Applies to these machines

  • T6010
  • T6020
  • T6030
  • T6040
  • T6050
  • T6060
  • T6070
  • TL90a

Check the cause

  1. Check cab mini fuses powering the SCM (e.g., Fuse 36, Fuse 38, and Fuse 16 on T6000 series)

  2. Inspect CAN bus wiring (yellow and green wires) for continuity, open circuits, or shorts to ground

  3. Inspect main wiring harnesses leading to the transmission and SCM for damaged, chafed, or half-severed wiring

Repair steps

  1. Verify error code

    Verify the active error code (NH 14903) on the Analogue Digital Instrument Cluster (ADIC).

  2. Locate module

    Locate the SCM (Small Control Module) / GA Module on the tractor.

  3. Test power and ground

    Using a multimeter, test the power and ground circuits at the SCM connector to ensure the module is receiving adequate voltage.

  4. Test CAN bus wiring

    Test the CAN bus wiring (yellow and green wires) between the SCM and the diagnostic connector/main network for continuity.

  5. Repair wiring or replace fuses

    Repair any damaged wiring or replace blown fuses discovered during the diagnostic checks.

  6. Replace SCM

    If power, ground, and CAN lines are all intact and functioning properly but the module still fails to communicate, the SCM itself has failed internally and must be replaced.

  7. Install and test

    Install the new SCM, clear the fault codes, and test the tractor to ensure the transmission and network operate correctly without triggering the warning lamp.
