Tuckerbilt® T-630 with and Electronic John Deere engine Troubleshooting:

This document as a .pdf file

The T-630 is equipped with a digital readout located in the “Gray Box” on the right side of the engine compartment.  This diagnostic gauge gives hours, temperature, RPM, and a number of other items of regular information.  In the event of a shut down or failure to start, service codes will be displayed.  Before turning the key off, read the displays service codes which can be looked up in the John Deere manual received in the T-630 owner’s manual.

The “Gray Box” serves as the junction box between John Deere and the shut down devices external to the John Deere installed on the T-630 as well as the key on/off and engine start signal. 

The battery lead to the ECU on the John Deere is fused.  Fuses are located in the Deere wiring harness on the right side of the engine down in the engine compartment.   Within the Gray Box, terminal B should have 12v power at all times.  Check fuses if not.

The fault code received if a T-630 sensor shuts down the engine is: SPN 970 – FMI 31 – Auxiliary Engine Shutdown Switch Active.  Three functions on the T-630 will give this code:

All other codes are originated from John Deere and your nearest John Dealer is the best resource for trouble shooting.

In the event of an ECU shut down, re-set the ECU by turning the key off for 20 seconds after recording fault codes or the engine will not re-start.

Frequently asked questions: 

Symptom:

Check:

Diagnostic Gauge lights do not come on when switch is turned on

Check in-line fuses in John Deere Wiring Harness.  (right side of engine, low in compartment)

No power on terminal B of Gray Box

Check in-line fuses in John Deere Wiring Harness.  (right side of engine, low in compartment)

Engine Diagnostic lights, but engine does not even try to start (starter does not engage at all)

Refer to flow chart

Engine starts and runs for about 30 seconds, but then quits.

Refer to flow chart

Engine tries to shut down when turning left

Water low in radiator or overflow bottle is empty.  Must be water in overflow bottle.

Engine tries to shut down going straight over bumpy surface

Probably low Hydraulic level.

 Engine starts and runs for 30 seconds with E-Stop in

This is normal.

External shutdown input

Input from T-630 Auxiliary functions to the John Deere ECU to shut down.  3 functions on the T-630 complete this circuit. 

 Low Water Level – is water in the overflow bottle?  This can be unplugged to test.

 Low Hydraulic Level – disconnect K or Q of the oil sensor leads on the bottom terminal strip to test.

 The E-Stop – disconnect either wire on the E-Stop Contact to test.

 All T-630 Auxiliary signals can be removed from the circuit temporarily for testing by disconnecting the 23 pin connector. (it is the lower of the two connectors)
