Troubleshooting Instrument Panel Method for Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes IMPORTANT: Care should be used during diagnostic procedures to avoid damaging the terminals of connectors, sensors, and actuators. Probes should not be poked into or around the terminals or damage will result. Probes should only be touched against the terminals to make measurements. Diagnosis of the Deere electronic control system on engines with Deere electronic instrument panel (shown) should be performed as follows: RG13287 –UN–30OCT03 1. Make sure all engine mechanical and other systems not related to the electronic control system are operating properly. NOTE:
Liquid Crystal Display [LCD] will always default to last menu item. If an active Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is present, display will alternately flash from the hour meter reading to DTC(s).

Pressing touch switches (B) and (C) scrolls through various engine parameters and diagnostic trouble codes. 2. Read and record DTC(s) displayed on LCD of diagnostic gauge (A).
