ECU 000641.31 – VGT Actuator Supply Voltage Fault. John Deere System Advisory.
ECU 000641.31 (ECU 641.31)
Code: 000641.31
Shortcode: 641.31
Description:
Error code ECU 000641.31 indicates that the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) actuator has detected its supply voltage is out of the specified high range. This could be due to a malfunctioning voltage regulator, issues in the electrical supply, or a fault within the actuator itself.
Reaction:
The ECU may limit or disable turbocharger functionality to prevent potential damage due to the incorrect supply voltage.
Recommendations:
- Inspect Voltage Supply: Check the voltage supply to the VGT actuator to ensure it is within the specified range.
- Test Voltage Regulator: Verify that the voltage regulator is functioning correctly and providing a stable voltage supply.
- Check Wiring and Connectors: Inspect the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage, corrosion, or disconnections that could cause voltage spikes.
- Replace Faulty Components: Replace any components that are found to be defective to restore proper voltage levels.
- Reset ECU and Verify Operation: After repairs, reset the ECU and monitor the VGT actuator to ensure it operates correctly and no further voltage faults are detected.
Note:
Maintaining correct voltage levels is critical for the reliable operation of the VGT actuator and overall engine performance.
