Description:

This error code is generated when the control software does not detect any position of the reverse drive lever. This suggests a malfunction in the lever position sensors or a fault in the control software’s ability to interpret the lever’s position.

Reaction:

The control software will have limited or no functionality of the reverse drive lever, affecting the vehicle’s ability to change directions effectively.

Recommendations:

• Inspect Position Sensors: Check the sensors associated with the reverse drive lever for proper operation and replace any that are defective.
• Calibrate the Lever: Recalibrate the reverse drive lever to ensure the control software accurately detects its position.
• Check Wiring and Connections: Inspect the wiring and connections for signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Test Control Software: Use diagnostic tools to test the control software for proper interpretation of the lever’s position.
• Consult Technical Support: If the issue persists, contact John Deere technical support for further diagnostics and assistance.

Note:

Proper detection of the reverse drive lever’s position is essential for safe and effective vehicle operation. Timely maintenance and calibration can help prevent such faults.
