Reaction of the control software: Limited or no function of the control software.
PL3 001231.12 (PL3 1231.12)— Drive Train CAN Bus (1000 kBd), High Error Rate
Unable to process all CAN Bus messages received. This is possibly caused by a CAN Bus overload or an internal control unit fault.
Reaction of the control software: Limited or no function of the control software.
PL3 001231.14 (PL3 1231.14)— Drive Train CAN Bus (1000 kBd), High Error Rate
Too many incorrect CAN Bus messages received. This indicates a general problem at the connection to the Drive Train CAN Bus (1000 kBd).
Reaction of the control software: Limited or no function of the control software.
PL3 002166.09 (PL3 2166.09)— Incorrect CAN Bus Message, Information from PL1 Control Software
The diagnostic trouble code is generated if a data transfer problem occurs between the PL3 control software and the PL1 control software. Reception of messages sent on the CAN Bus by the PL1 control software is intermittent or non-existent. This indicates an open circuit in the CAN Bus, a short circuit or faulty CAN Bus terminators.
Reaction of Control Software: Limited or no function of the control software.
PL3 002167.09 (PL3 2167.09)— Incorrect CAN Bus Message, Information from PL2 Control Software
The diagnostic trouble code is generated if a data transfer problem occurs between the PL3 control software and the PL2 control software. Reception of messages sent on the CAN Bus by the PL2 control software is intermittent or non-existent. This indicates an open circuit in the CAN Bus, a short circuit or faulty CAN Bus terminators.
Reaction of Control Software: Limited or no function of the control software.
PL3 003597.06 (PL3 3597.06)—Output for Driver, Current Too High
Too high current at the driver output in the control unit for range shifting (DirectDrive transmission). Driver outputs at the control unit are switched off.
PL3 520872.02 —Control Software Internal Fault
The diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control software detects that there was an error reading the internal module (EEPROM).
Reaction of Control Software: Limited or no function of the transmission.
PL3 523961.12 — Travel Speed Detected With Park Lock Engaged
The diagnostic trouble code is generated if the PL3 control software detects a ground speed of more than 0.1 km/h (0.06 mph) for longer than 0.7 seconds after engaging the park lock.
Reaction of the control software: Limited or no function of the park lock.
PL3 523966.14 — INFORMATION FOR OPERATOR: Tractor in Come-Home Mode, Select Direction of Travel

PL3 524173.02 — Clutch Pedal Potentiometer Fault
The diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control software detects that a position fault of the clutch pedal is present.
Reaction of the control software: Limited or no function of the transmission.
PL3 524173.03 — Clutch Pedal Potentiometer Voltage Too High
The diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control software detects that voltage at the lead of the potentiometer is too high. This indicates that the circuit is shorted.
Reaction of the control software: Limited or no function of the transmission.
PL3 524173.04 — Clutch Pedal Potentiometer Voltage Too Low
Voltage at the potentiometer lead is too low. This indicates that the circuit is open.
Reaction of the control software: Limited or no function of the transmission.
