A couple of years ago I was having similar problems so we replaced the engine terminator but I went backwards. It had the 3 pin connector type and I put the older triangle black block back on. yesterday I noticed that the A post had the older block still mounted, but there was an adapter harness and the smaller 3 pin terminator. I'm assuming both terminators had been updated the new, improved setup. At this point I'm going to replace the engine side with a newer 3 pin (and adapter harness) and replace the 3 pin terminator in the A post just in case.
With the software I was hoping to move things like the throttle and hydraulic "levers" and see the values change, etc.
Someone, long ago, mentioned installing another ground from the seat and there may have been a service bulletin. Couldn't find a bulletin, but it sounds like a good idea. Any idea where to connect on the seat frame (or arm rest) and where is a good hole to get down to the battery? thanks
For checking inputs like watching hydraulic remote switches change state, you need the CNH EST software tool. I won't comment on how to get the EST software, but it can be found out there if one does a little research, for free or very little cost. The hardware you need to connect your laptop is a DPA5, Dearborn Protocol Adapter. It's a common J1939/RP1210 adapter often used for truck diagnostics, and it is identical to the official CNH adapter, EXCEPT the CNH adapter also supports K-line diagnostics. Certain older CNH equipment requires the K-line to communicate with some modules, uncertain if K-line is used at all in any recent or current product lines, I'd say unlikely. |
