John Deere TIA fault codes (also known as TIA diagnostic trouble codes or TIA error codes) are essential for diagnosing issues in vehicles equipped with AutoPowr™/IVT™ transmissions. These codes are generated by the TIA control software, which is integrated into the Cab Control Unit and works in conjunction with the PTA control software to manage the transmission system. The TIA control software receives signals through the vehicle CAN bus (500 kBd) and processes these signals to ensure proper transmission operation.
Common John Deere TIA Fault Codes
1. TIA 000091.02 – Accelerator Pedal Potentiometer, Voltages at Channel 1 and Channel 2 Not in the Correct Ratio
- Occurrence: Detected when there is a voltage mismatch between channel 1 and channel 2 of the accelerator pedal potentiometer.
- Impact: Limited or no function of the accelerator pedal potentiometer.
2. TIA 000190.01 – Engine Speed Too Low
- Occurrence: Generated if the engine speed is too low, shifting the transmission into neutral to prevent stalling.
- Impact: Transmission shifted to neutral until engine speed increases.
3. TIA 000237.14 – VIN Information, System De-Activated
- Occurrence: Triggered if the VIN security function was not enabled due to an internal problem, indicating incorrect reprogramming of the control software.
- Impact: Limited vehicle function due to deactivated VIN security.
4. TIA 000606.16 – Engine Speed Too High
- Occurrence: Detected when the engine speed is excessively high, requiring a reduction in speed.
- Impact: Limited or no function of the control software to prevent potential damage from high engine speeds.
5. TIA 002003.07 – Incorrect CAN BUS Message, Engine Speed and Transmission Input Speed
- Occurrence: Generated when there is a deviation of more than 100 rpm between engine speed and transmission input speed for over 5 seconds.
- Impact: Limited or no function of the control software due to speed discrepancies.
Where These Codes Occur
These fault codes are typically encountered in the transmission system of John Deere vehicles with AutoPowr™/IVT™ transmissions. The TIA control software monitors various signals, including:
- Position of the reverse drive lever (LHR)
- Position of the speed control lever
- Travel speed
- Tire size
- Speed and torque requests
The TIA control software then communicates this information to the transmission enable relay and the PTA control software to ensure smooth operation and to diagnose any issues effectively.
Understanding and addressing these John Deere TIA error codes promptly can help maintain the performance and longevity of your vehicle’s transmission system. For more detailed diagnostics and solutions, always refer to the vehicle’s service manual or consult with a certified John Deere technician.
