GENERAL INFORMATION
The following items should not be over looked when troubleshooting the Magnum hitch system.

1. A backwards “c” in the hitch diagnostic display means the control module is not calibrated.
Do not replace the control module, perform calibration.

2. When reading and erasing error codes during calibration of the hitch control module, see page 5
of this bulletin, when “r.” appears on the diagnostic display. It will be followed by 102 or 200.
102 - part number 112889A1
200 - part number 232835A1, after serial number JJA0067094

3. The EDC relay (number 6) has been eliminated on the Magnum tractors above serial number
JJA0064978 (electric PTO). Wire LB/529-18 (pin 14 of the 16 pin connector) is connected
directly to fuse number 7.

4. Loose position lever and rockshaft potentiometer shaft set screws will affect hitch performance
and may not show up as error codes.

5. The hitch must be recalibrated every time an hitch component is replaced or adjusted.

6. An empty hitch may move up slightly when the tractor is backed up if the load setting knob is set
below # 5. Set load knob above # 5.

7. Hitch enable indicator light should be lit when a error code is displayed. If not, the lamp is faulty.

8. The controller remote hitch switch error code is self correcting when the switch is released,
provided that the switch has not failed.

9. The hitch position lever must be cycled to recapture the hitch position when the tractor is started
and the rock shaft potentiometer and the position lever potentiometer are not within 4 2%
( k 0.077 volts) of each other (Enable light will be flashing).

10. The hitch position must be recaptured with the position lever after the hitch has been raised or
lowered with the remote hitch switch (Enable light will be flashing).

11. The decimal point on the display should disappear when the tractor is moving faster than .5
MPH. If the decimal point in the display does not disappear when the tractor is moving .5 MPH
or greater, the ground speed sensor or its circuit has failed.

ELECTRONIC HITCH DIAGNOSTIC CODES

NORMAL OPERATION
A seven segment LED display will show codes that relate the performance of the Electronic Hitch Control
System. When the key switch is in the ON position power is applied to the Electronic Hitch Control System
and all display segments are displayed for 2 seconds for a display check.

The display code for normal operation is ‘0”. The dot *.* indicates tractor speed under 0.5 miles per hour.

HITCH CONTROL MODULE FAILURE MODES

The four non-normal failure modes corresponding to the various error code displays are, HALT, LIMP, DEGRADED 2, and
DEGRADED 1, each failure mode will generate different modes of operation as follows:

MODE OPERATIONAL HITCH FUNCTIONS

HALT Hitch is totally disabled and no electrical actuation is possible.

LIMP Tractor travel must be stopped. The hitch can be momentarily actuated up and down from the RAISE/LOWER
switch or the rear remote switches.

DEGRADED 2 Hitch is operational in position mode only. Draft mode is inaccessible.

DEGRADED 1 Hitch is fully operational with default values for certain variables.

NOTE: When the display shows the failure code, the status lamp is on continuously or flashing.

BACKWARDS “C” IN DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY

Hitch control module not calibrated, calibrate hitch control module see page 11. Do not replace hitch
control module.

7200 SERIES HITCH CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

All components and harnesses must be in good working order prior to calibration.

. The position control potentiometer must be set to 4.85 + 0.1 volts DC when the position control
lever is at its maximum height.

. Before starting the calibration process, make sure that the hitch is free to move all the way
between the cylinder’s minimum and maximum limits with no load. Make sure that no
interference exists during the movement and the back of the tractor is clear of all objects.

. Calibration cannot be performed while the tractor is moving.

. Calibration must be performed without a load.

1. Install CAS 1638 test box with CAS 1897 adapter harness (black) per the Service Manual section 8009
page 4. CAS 1638 test box slide switch should be in the ON position.

2. Only center the hitch, if error code indicates that the hitch valve (null) is not centered, see page 13 for error
codes. To center hitch valve, see Service Manual section 8009 pages 4 though 7. If hitch Null adjustment
tool CAS 2028 is used a + 5 setting is acceptable. Disregard All Null tool error codes (7200 series tractors
only).

3. Record and clear any error codes prior to adjustment. See reading and erasing error codes on page 5 of this
bulletin.

4. With the ignition switch in the ON position, place the hitch position lever in the FULLY RAISED,
TRANSPORT position and the test box at position 1, set D.C. voltage to 4.85 + .1 volts. Adjust the hitch
position pot in the console if needed. See Service Manual 8009 - 8 steps 16-21.

5. Test position pot: Set the DVM to the 2 decimal place range, do not perform test with the DVM in the auto
ranging mode. Move the position lever forward though the range, the voltage should smoothly drop to
approximately 1.4 volts D.C. in the fully lowered position. When moving the position lever rearward toward
the transport position the voltage should smoothly increase back to its original 4.85 volts D.C. once the
transport position is reached.
- If the voltage does not return to its original 4.85 volts D.C. or the voltage is intermittent, replace the
potentiometer.
- If the voltage goes to “0” or above 4.85 volts, replace the potentiometer.

6. With the position lever fully rearward (transport position), start the engine while holding the hitch switch in the
MOMENTARY position. Release the switch when the letter “r” appears in the diagnostic display.

7. “C” will appear in the diagnostic display if there are no failures that will prevent calibration. If “C” does not
appear, See reading and erasing error codes on page 5 of this bulletin.

Note: If a “g” appears during calibration, the draft pins or its wiring circuit is failed.

Note: In some cases a “g” may appear in the display. The hitch control module is asking “does the system
have two load sensing pins ?” Answer yes by pressing the hitch switch to the momentary position then
release. Normally the control module will sense two pin and not ask. See page 19 for more
information.

8. Press the hitch switch to the MOMENTARY position and release, “c” should appear on the diagnostic
display.
Service Bulletin NTR SB 026 96
Magnum Hitch Diagnostic Codes and Service Manual update

HITCH CALIBRATION PROCEDURE CONTINUED

9. Press the hitch switch to the MOMENTARY position and release. “11” should appear on the diagnostic
display. Note: The control module is asking you if the tractor has an upper limit knob.

1 0 . Press the hitch switch to the MOMENTARY position and release to answer “yes”. A “8” should appear on
the diagnostic display. Note: The “8” means the system is ready to calibrate.

11. Hold the hitch switch in the MOMENTARY position until the hitch has completely lowered, then release.
Do not release switch before hitch is fully lowered. A “6” should appear on the diagnostic display.

12. With the hitch in the FULLY LOWERED position and the test box at position 2, set D.C. voltage to .9 + .1
volts, at the hitch rockshaft pot above the right rear axle housing. See Service Manual section 8009-9 steps
24 & 25.

13. Test Rockshaft pot: Set the DVM to the 2 decimal place range, do not perform test with the DVM in the
auto ranging mode. View the DVM voltage while the hitch is being raised in step 16. As the hitch raises the
voltage should smoothly increase from .9 + .1 to approximately 4.70 + .2 volts D.C. in the fully raised
position.

14. Move the hitch lever to the full raise position. Raise the hitch by pressing the hitch switch to the
MOMENTARY position and releasing the switch (The hitch position lever should still be in the transport
position). A “9” should appear on the diagnostic display. The hitch should raise after a delay. If any reason
occurs where the hitch movement should be stopped during this process, toggle the switch to the UP
position.

15. Move the hitch position lever to the fully lowered position. Make sure the stop is not in the way. The lever
must be all the way down.

16. Test Rockshaft pot: Set the DVM to the 2 decimal place range, do not perform test with the DVM in the
auto ranging mode. View the DVM voltage while the hitch is being lowered in step 19. As the hitch lowers
the voltage should smoothly decrease from 4.70 + .2 to approximately to .9 + .1 volts D.C. in the fully
lowered position.

17. Lower the hitch by pressing the hitch switch to the MOMENTARY position and release. After a delay, the
hitch will lower to full down. A “U” should appear on the diagnostic display. If any reason occurs for the
hitch movement to be stopped during the process, toggle the hitch switch to the UP position.

18. When the hitch has fully lowered, press the hitch switch to the MOMENTARY position and release. “0”
should appear on the diagnostic display, meaning calibration has been successful.

19. Check for and clear any error codes from memory.

B. The position control lever potentiometer is out of adjustment. See hitch calibration p 11.
C. The hitch rockshaft potentiometer is out of adjustment. See hitch calibration p 11.
D. The valve is not centered correctly. See hitch calibration p 11.
Note: The above problems require that the hitch be calibrated.
Note: A display code of "0" indicates there are no electrical problem in the electronic hitch
system. This does not mean the hitch potentiometers are correctly adjusted.

2. Hitch will not raise the load

A. Perform Electronic Hitch Control troubleshooting (Troubleshooting hitch system page 4).
1. Is regulated pressure in spec. ?
2. Is low pressure standby in spec. ?
3. Is the 2nd remote valve flow and pressure in spec. ?
4. Is the 1st remote valve causing the PFC pump to remain on high pressure ?
5. Load on the hitch is beyond rated capacity.
6. The hitch valve pilot spool is sticking.
7, The hitch valve control spool is sticking.
8. Cushion relief valve is missing or leaking.
9. High pressure stand-by not in spec.

HITCH DIAGNOSTICS BY PROBLEM

8. Hitch raises slowly
A. 1st remote valve is causing PFC pump to operate at high pressure stand by or is using all
the PFC pumps hydraulic flow. Remember the 1st remote has priority over hitch and
remotes valve 2 though 4.
1. See Service Bulletin NTR SB 022 96 using and understanding the 1st remote valve.
2. Operate equipment with 2nd remote valve.
3. Remove restriction from implement hydraulic supply line or valve.
4. Use tractor’s remote valve flow control to control flow to implement valve.

9. Hitch leaks down (engine off)

A. Isolate the hitch lift assist cylinders from the main rock shaft cylinder to determine if the lift
assist cylinder is leaking.
1. Lower hitch and cap off lift assist cylinder supply line.
2. Place load (weight) on the hitch and raise hitch. Turn tractor engine off.

If hitch does not leak down the problem is with the assist cylinder.
If hitch leaks still leaks down go to step B.

B. Testing the hitch rockshaft cylinder and the cushion relief valve.
1. Lower the hitch completely.
2. Disconnect the hitch supply line to the rockshaft at the hitch valve.
3. Connect the hitch rockshaft cylinder supply line to remote valve “B” port.
4. Cap the hitch valve supply port.
5. Start the engine and use the remote valve to raise the hitch with sufficient weight to cause
leak down.
6. Put remote valve in neutral and close the shut off valve.

HITCH VALVE COMPONENTS AND FUNCTION

PILOT
PRESSURE
INLET

LEVER SPRING

LOCK CHECK

PLUNGER
SPOOL

TO LUBE

1. Hitch valve solenoid

Moves the solenoid plunger.
The solenoid plunger must be adjusted (centered) to prevent the hitch from drifting up or down
when the solenoid is not powered. The solenoid plunger controls the hitch valve pilot spool.
. Raise - The solenoid plunger shifts to the right to raise the hitch.
. Lower - The solenoid plunger shifts to the left to lower the hitch.
. Spec:
Pin A to pin C ---- 3.8 - 4.2 OHMS
Pin B to pin C ---- 3.8 - 4.2 OHMS
- If the plunger in the solenoid valve is off center to the right, the hitch will drift up.
- If the plunger in the solenoid valve is off center to the left, the hitch will drift down.
- If the plunger sticks, the hitch may be slow to respond or continue to drift when the up /down
switch is released.

2. Pilot spool
. Raise - Once the pilot spool is shifted to the right, it then directs regulated pressure to the left end
of the control spool. The control spool shifts right to raise the hitch.
. Lower - Once the pilot spool is shifted to the left it then directs regulated pressure to the right end
of the control spool. The control spool shifts left to lower the hitch.
- If the pilot spool sticks to the right, the hitch will drift up.
- If the pilot spool sticks to the left, the hitch will drift down.

HITCH VALVE COMPONENTS AND FUNCTION CONTINUED

3. Control spool
. Raise - Once the control spool is shifted to the right it then directs PFC pump pressure to the left
end of the lockout plunger spool (the lockout spool dose not move) but the pressure in that area
will unseat the load check poppet to raise the hitch.
. Lower - Once The control spool is shifted to the left it then directs PFC pump oil to the right end
of the lockout plunger spool which (unseats) pushes the lock check poppet to the left to lower the
hitch.
- If the control spool stick in the center position the hitch won’t raise or lower.
- if the control spool sticks to the left, the hitch will drift down.
- If the control spool sticks to the right, the hitch will drift up.

4. Lockout plunger spool

. Raise - The lockout plunger spool is not shifted or moved with oil pressure when the hitch is
raised. The piston pump oil pressure at the left end of the spool will unseat the load check poppet
to raise the hitch.
. Lower - The lockout plunger is shifted to the left with piston pump pressure. The lockout spool
pushes the load check poppet to the left to lower the hitch.
- If the lockout plunger spool sticks to the right, the hitch won’t lower.
- If the lockout plunger spool sticks to the left the hitch will settle.

5. Load check poppet

The load check poppet prevents the hitch from settling when the engine is turned “off” or when
the hitch valve is in neutral (solenoid not powered by hitch control module).
. The load check plunger must shift to the left for the hitch to raise or lower.
- If the load check poppet sticks to the left the hitch will settle.

6. Signal check valve

The hitch signal check valve isolate the piston pump signal circuit from the Steering valve, remote
valves and the power beyond valve. The PFC pump pressure will be set by the valve producing
the highest signal pressure.

ELIMINATING DRAFT CONTROL FROM THE MAGNUM TRACTOR

Load pins (draft control) can be eliminated from the tractor by simply unplugging the draft pins and
reprogramming the hitch controller. See page 11 step 7 of the Calibration procedure for Electronic
Hitch. Cover connector ends if draft pins are removed.

Note: If a "g" appears during calibration, the draft pins or its wiring circuit has failed,

Note: During calibration a “g” may appear in the diagnostic display. The hitch control module is
asking “Does the system have two load sensing pins?”

Answer no if the load pins are disconnected by pressing the hitch switch to the up position and then
to the down position (not to the down momentary position).

Answer yes if draft control is desired and the load pins are connected by pressing the hitch switch to
the momentary position then releasing. Normally, the control module will sense two pin and not
ask.

TESTING ROCKSHAFT AND POSITION LEVER POTENTIOMETERS

Position potentiometer Use the CAS - 1638 test box in position 1 with CAS 1897 adapter harness (black).
Set the DVM to the 2 decimal place range, do not perform test with the DVM in the auto ranging mode. Move
the position lever forward though the range, the voltage should smoothly drop to approximately 1.4 + .2 volts
D.C. in the fully lowered position. When moving the position lever rearward toward the transport position the
voltage should smoothly increase back to its original 4.85 + .1 volts D.C. once the transport position is reached.

Rockshaft potentiometer Use the CAS - 1638 in position 2 with the CAS 1897 adapter harness (black). Set
the DVM to the 2 decimal place range, do not perform test with the DVM in the auto ranging mode. View the
DVM voltage while raising and lowering the hitch. As the hitch lowers the voltage should smoothly decrease
from approximately 4.6 to approximately to .9 + .1 volts D.C. in the fully lowered position.

Note: To completely lower the hitch the up/down switch must be double clicked and held in the momentary
position.

Note: The over all range of the rockshaft pot is slightly reduced from the calibration procedure. this is due to the
hitch control module stopping the hitch movement just before it reaches the mechanical travel limits as it does
during calibration.

BENCH TESTING ROCKSHAFT & POSITION LEVER POTENTIOMETERS

STEP 1 STEP 3

Connect the multimeter test leads between the cen-

Connect the multimeter test leads to each outside ter (sense) terminal and the opposite outside
terminal of the potentiometer. Set the multimeter to terminal. Rotate the potentiometer through its
the 2K ohm scale. Measure the total resistance working range This reading must also be smooth
across the potentiometer. the total resistance value and continuous
must be 900 to 1100 ohms. If this value cannot be
obtained, the potentiometer must be replaced.

STEP 2

Connect the multimeter test leads to the center

(sense) terminal and one of the outside terminals.
Locate and turn the pot through its full working
range. The multimeter reading must be smooth and
continuous through the full working range.
