Description:

This error code, XSC 000708.16, is generated when a frequency of over 300 Hz is registered at channel 1 of the steering wheel position sensor. The value measured by the XMC control software is within the acceptable range, indicating a potential issue with the sensor or its signal processing.

Reaction:

When this fault occurs, the control software will have limited or no functionality, affecting the steering system’s accuracy and responsiveness.

Recommendations:

Inspect Steering Wheel Position Sensor:

• Check the steering wheel position sensor for any signs of damage or wear.
• Ensure the sensor is properly installed and connected.

Monitor Sensor Frequency:

• Use diagnostic tools to monitor the sensor frequency and verify if it exceeds the normal operating range.
• Compare the sensor frequency readings with those from the XMC control software to identify discrepancies.

Update Control Software:

• Check for any available updates for the control software and install them to address potential bugs or signal processing issues.

Consult Technical Support:

• If the issue persists, contact John Deere technical support for further diagnostics and solutions.
• Provide detailed logs of the sensor frequency readings and any steps already taken to address the fault.

Note:

Maintaining the accuracy and proper functioning of the steering wheel position sensor is critical for the steering system’s performance. Regular inspections and updates can help prevent such faults.
