Description:

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) UIC 524173.03 is generated when the control unit measures a voltage of more than 4.5 volts at the signal input from channel 1 of the potentiometer (B65, lead 6114). This indicates a problem at the signal lead or at the potentiometer ground connection.

Reaction:

When this error occurs, the control unit may limit the functionality of the clutch system to ensure safe operation and prevent potential damage.

Recommendations:

• Inspect Clutch Pedal Potentiometer:
  • Check the B65 clutch pedal potentiometer for proper operation and ensure it is not shorted or malfunctioning.
• Inspect Ground Connection:
  • Ensure the ground connection for the potentiometer circuit is secure and free of corrosion or damage.
• Check Wiring and Connections:
  • Inspect all wiring and connectors related to channel 1 of the clutch pedal potentiometer for any signs of shorts or damage.
• Replace Faulty Components:
  • If the potentiometer or ground connection is found to be faulty, replace or repair as necessary.
• Consult Technical Support:
  • If the issue persists, contact John Deere technical support for further diagnostics and potential solutions.

Note:

High voltage readings could also be due to intermittent faults in the wiring or connectors. Ensure a thorough inspection to avoid repeat occurrences.
