Description:

This fault code indicates that the Chassis Control Unit (CCU) has detected an incorrect configuration in the rear Power Take-Off (PTO) system. The rear PTO is essential for powering various attachments and implements; an incorrect configuration can result in improper operation or failure to engage/disengage the PTO correctly.

Reaction:

The system restricts the rear PTO functionality to prevent damage to the tractor or attached implements, and to ensure safe operation under possibly flawed configuration settings.

Recommendations:

• Review PTO Settings: Examine the settings and configuration of the rear PTO system in the CCU. Correct any discrepancies found against the recommended settings.
• Firmware and Software Updates: Ensure that the CCU’s firmware is up to date. An update may resolve bugs or compatibility issues that could be causing the incorrect configuration.
• Operational Testing: After adjustments, perform operational tests to ensure that the PTO engages and operates as expected under normal conditions.
• Consult Technical Support: If the issue persists, consult John Deere technical support or a professional technician for further diagnosis and specialized guidance.
• System Reset: Reset the control unit to ensure all changes are applied and re-check for the presence of the fault code.

Note:

Maintaining correct configuration settings for the rear PTO is critical for the efficient and safe operation of tractor implements. Regular checks and maintenance can prevent configuration errors and ensure the longevity of the equipment.
