ECU 000641.05 – Low Current for Turbocharger Actuator / High Resistance. John Deere System Advisory.

ECU 000641.05 (ECU 641.05)

Code: 000641.05

Shortcode: 641.05

Description:

Error code ECU 000641.05 indicates that the current for the turbocharger actuator is too low, suggesting high circuit resistance or an open circuit. This fault can disrupt the proper functioning of the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) actuator, affecting engine performance.

Reaction:

The ECU may reduce engine power or limit turbocharger operation to prevent damage due to the improper functioning of the actuator.

Recommendations:

  • Inspect Wiring for Open Circuits: Check the wiring and connectors leading to the VGT actuator for signs of damage, corrosion, or disconnections.
  • Measure Circuit Resistance: Use a multimeter to measure the resistance in the actuator circuit and identify any points of high resistance.
  • Repair or Replace Wiring: Fix any identified issues by repairing or replacing damaged wires or connectors to restore proper current flow.
  • Test Actuator Operation: After repairs, test the VGT actuator to ensure it receives adequate current and operates correctly.
  • Reset ECU and Verify Functionality: Reset the ECU and conduct tests to confirm that the actuator functions properly without further errors.

Note:

Maintaining correct wiring integrity is essential for reliable actuator performance and overall engine efficiency.
