Description:

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) UIC 523438.02 is triggered if a fault occurs when the internal module (EEPROM) intervenes. This indicates an issue with the control unit’s memory management.

Reaction:

When this error occurs, the control unit may prevent the vehicle from starting or operating correctly due to the internal memory malfunction, potentially activating a fail-safe mode.

Recommendations:

  • Perform a Hard Reset:
    • Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery for a few minutes before reconnecting and restarting the control unit.
  • Inspect Control Unit Connections:
    • Check all wiring and connections to the control unit for any loose, damaged, or corroded connectors.
    • Ensure all connectors are securely attached and free from debris.
  • Reprogram Control Unit:
    • If the problem persists, reprogram the control unit using the latest software updates.
  • Replace Control Unit:
    • If the EEPROM issue continues to show internal faults, consider replacing the control unit with a new or refurbished unit.
  • Consult Technical Support:
    • If the issue remains unresolved, contact John Deere technical support for further diagnostics and potential solutions.

Note:

Regular updates and maintenance of control unit software are essential to prevent internal faults and ensure smooth operation.
