John Deere 8300 Transmission Calibration

This is for all 8000/8010/8020 series.
The following link is for a video that goes into more detail on how to manually adjust the calibration points on the early 8000 series.

Thanks for a great job explaining how to calibrate the transmission.

[@brasadimbrasadim7350]

Very good video.. Good job.. Thanks from a farmer in Greece

[@juliangorgetti]

hi, the calibration also applies to the john deere 7800 line

[@agriculturechannel6906]

Hello, do you have transmission calibration steps for the 7700 power shift? Best regards

[@juliankatuin2234]

Hello between the steps from foreward tot reverse do you press the clutch pedal?

[@iowafarmer93]

no, you do not have to

[@justthings6405]

When you say jumper hose, are you talking about about a 2 ft hose with 2 hyd ends that plug into 1 common rear remote to circulate the oil?

[@iowafarmer93]

Yes. I have a regulating valve on mine to create pressure to possibly build up heat faster but that is not necessary. A straight hose works fine.

Is there Anyway to fix error 015 on 8200? Is something about the cluch. I tought it might be form the sensors but changed them and still have the error

[@iowafarmer93]

Is this PCU 015 or what kind of error are you referring to?

[@iowafarmer93]

If it is PCU 15 I think it will be your clutch engage switch. There are two switches or sensors on the back of the transmission ( not the park brake pressure sensor at top left) one is just left of the drive shaft the other is towards the top right of the drive shaft. It could also be wiring. Enough people have this problem I need to make a video on it.

Algo en español.?

[@nikoladinjaski9659]

Hey we have a problem with 8320. Hi not go to 22

[@iowafarmer93]

Ok I’m having a little trouble understanding your comment but I think your saying it will not go to PCU address 22. The most likely cause it that you installed the diagnostic fuse after the tractor was running. Shut off the tractor and restart with the fuse already in the diagnostic mode. If that’s not the issue you may have some codes related to the transmission that is preventing it from being calibrated. In that case you need to deal with the codes first. I have other videos that show how to read the codes.

[@zoltanforgacs9338]

Hello! I have 8200 earl model and during calibration Ab, bc, cc, dc slow others are calibrated well. What can be the problem? Thanks

[@iowafarmer93]

Does it finish the calibration or does it fail those calibrations? If they are failing and you need to push the clutch to get past them, that probably means you have internal leaking of oil past some of your clutch cylinders but it could also mean some clutch packs are wore out and out of the calibration range. Even if it fails the calibration the tractor should still drive but I don't think you will be able to go into 4th reverse but I could be wrong. If they are just slow in calibrating but eventually do calibrate everything should be ok. It is quite possible you need to rebuild the transmission as well.

[@kalemongeau386]

Calibrated 8100 transmission, got stuck and said “C2L”. Seems to shift fine, has all the gears, but now it is throwing code PCU 27. Have tried clearing the code, but wont go away. Just flashes the transmission and info light. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

[@kalemongeau386]

Wiring all looks good, i am thinking the C2 shift valve/solenoid is weak. Possibly need to change the valve and recalibrate?

[@iowafarmer93]

Yes I think you are correct on starting with the C2 valve. To test the theory you can just switch it with the CR (reverse) and see if the problem follows it. The PCU code 27 is saying your transmission failed calibration. The CR valve is the top left valve easily accessible from the battery cover side. The C1 is next to it followed by the C2 and C3 and AB in that order. Note that these are the valves that are horizontal in the transmission and not the vertical ones. Also the vertical and horizontal are different and cannot be switched.

[@adrianentz5828]

Trying to do my 8420. After the oil is warm it says H2o what does that mean ?

[@iowafarmer93]

Here is the instructions for a 20 series. It’s possible you have a faulty coolant sensor. Calibration Instructions: Perform the required response to continue the calibration procedure if any of the following instructions are displayed: "For" Move shift lever to "FORWARD" position. Forward Valve calibration will continue. "Oil" -Oil is not hot enough. Heat oil to 55°C (130°F) (or Oil is too hot, cool oil to below 63°C (146°F)). Forward Valve calibration will continue. (Note: hydraulic oil can be viewed on the Vehicle monitor by pressing the PTO SPEED and RV hours buttons simultaneously.) "H2o" -Coolant temperature must be heated. Command engine speed to 2200 ‡ 30 RPM, heat engine coolant temperature to greater that 70°C (158°F). (Note: engine coolant temp can be viewed on the vehicle monitor by pressing the SPEED and CODE buttons simultaneously.) "nEU". - Move shift lever to "NEUTRAL" then to "FORWARD". Forward Valve calibration will continue. If "nEU" still displays, return to diagnosis in progress. "Spd" - Increase engine speed to 2200 rpm. Forward Valve calibration will continue. If unable to get 2200 rpm and ECU code 055 is present, perform CAN Network Diagnosis. (See Reference 245-05-006 .) If ECU code 055 is not present, see CTM255 for diagnosis of the engine cam speed sensor (B405) and engine crank speed sensor (B406). "CLU" - Fully cycle clutch pedal. If "CLU" continues to display, check clutch engagement pressure. it. -Wait 2-3 seconds for tractor to stabilize. Forward Valve calibration will continue. "Erp" -Wheel speed (motion) is detected. Stop all tractor motion. If "Err" continues, return to diagnosis in progress "rEU" -Move shift lever to "REVERSE" slot. Forward Valve calibration will continue

[@adrianentz5828]

@iowafarmer93 Thank you very much for this information. My local john deere dealer wouldn't even provide this to me🤨

[@maxbentley2775]

Will that be the same for 9400 articulated 12 speed

[@iowafarmer93]

I’ve never done one so I really don’t know but it probably wouldn’t hurt anything to go to the same address and see what happens.

[@bernhardwiebe5199]

Hi i have a 8230 powershift that needs transmission calibration How much different is it Can it also be done manualy or does it need to connect to a computer

[@iowafarmer93]

I’m not completely sure on the 30 series as I do not have a service manual for that but I’m quite sure you can do it without hooking up a computer.

[@srconstrucciones594]

Hello I HAVE A 7730 IVT TRANSMISSION HOW CAN I CALIBRATE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I GET THIS CODE PTI 630.14 please help me THE CODE IS FOR CALIBRATE

[@iowafarmer93]

sorry for the slow reply here. I've never worked on the IVT transmition yet but I'm sure I will at some point. I'm also not sure what the calibration process would be.

[@Redsmyle]

On a 8200 when i go to pcu 22 it Said Err. Even if i hold the cluch up will still say err. What can i do?

[@iowafarmer93]

Are there any active codes? If so you will need to deal with those first before a calibration will work correctly. Does it show 000 and then after you try to start the calibration it shows err or does it never get the the three 0s?

[@iowafarmer93]

It’s also possible it is detecting wheel speed. There is a chance changing the speed sensor could fix it as well. I’m not sure exactly where that is located at the moment without doing some research.

[@Redsmyle]

@@iowafarmer93 i got a few error codes most of them about parking or the pilot seat. but there is any way i could bypass the error codes and just do the calibration?

[@iowafarmer93]

No. For starters I’m guessing the seat sensor needs fixed but it can be hot wired by crossing the wires in the plug behind the seat. The park brake issue though is a big deal. I’m not sure what the codes are that you have for that and if you don’t know how to read all the codes my video “ watch before buying a JD 8400” should cover all that. I had an 8100 that I could not calibrate because the park brake wouldn’t hold. I even went as far as to hook two other 8000 series tractors to the front and back to try to get it to stay in one spot but during the calibration it was rocking all three tractors and eventually failed the calibration anyway. The park has to work in order for the calibration to work.

[@Redsmyle]

@@iowafarmer93 i am tring to fix the problems now but i am having a Hard time finding the cluch sensor on 8200. Any ideea Where it should be?

[@davidfast3228]

Hey can you help me so I was trying to do this but once I go to PCU 22 then it just shows err please help

[@iowafarmer93]

does the err message come up where the 000 would be at? If so you might possible try to pull the clutch pedal up with your foot as this might cause an err message as sometimes the clutch will stick down slightly. I'm guessing the more likely cause will be an electrical issue or possibly a bad solenoid. This might possibly be determined if there were previous issues with the transmition. The only thing calibration will do is smooth out the shift points. It's very unlikely a calibration will fix a major shifting issue.

[@jeffzeiset5971]

My 8400 says abs and doesn't go farther unless I cycle the clutch pedal

[@iowafarmer93]

then you have and issue with your transmission. Start by swapping the ab shift solenoid with another one and if the problem moves then its in the solenoid but otherwise your probably have a seal out in that clutch pack and need a rebuild. There are a few other possibilities like wore clutch pacs but to fix them you will most likely need to tear the trans apart anyway.

[@tomino1308]

Its the calibration same for 7000 series?

[@iowafarmer93]

No they do not have the funk style transmition.

[@juliangorgetti]

hello, when you move the gear in reverse do you have to squeeze the clutch? Hold it so that it does not advance or is it not necessary?

[@iowafarmer93]

No the tractor should not move. The control lever is fully electrical so the computer simply reads that the lever is working correctly but does not allow it to function normally while running the calibration.

[@juliangorgetti]

@@iowafarmer93 okay. and when the indicated temperature is reached, the hydraulic command must be deactivated or continue activated?

[@iowafarmer93]

No the hydraulic functions may be used normally without interrupting the calibration. You will need to continue to use them to maintain the right temperature.

[@juliangorgetti]

@@iowafarmer93 ok, thank to very much! do you know if the throttle is calibrated?

[@iowafarmer93]

Just follow the video. Put the tractor at full throttle when calibrating. To calibrate the throttle you would need to run the armrest control center calibration.

[@santiilori9739]

Hello, I have an 8300 that does not read the engine rpm well, when you accelerate sometimes they go up a bit but it always stays at 20, 30, 50, do you know where the problem is?

[@santiilori9739]

and the engine light comes on, and the pc throws error ecu 45

[@iowafarmer93]

I’ll research it and try to give you an answer

[@santiilori9739]

@@iowafarmer93 thanks

[@iowafarmer93]

ECU 45 Engine Speed/pump speed out of sync. Service code indicates that the signal from the auxiliary speed sensor has stopped working or has become erratic while the primary speed is stable. Ecu test procedure 17 ( used for tractors with serial number 11,000 and over) Primary engine speed sensor should be between 600-1500 ohms Auxiliary engine speed sensor should be between 2500-3500 ohms code 45 should be stored with code ECU 39 or 44. I'm not exactly sure where these speed sensors are located. I know the on is located on the front of the engine next to the injection pump and possibly both are I'm not sure. It gets really complicated to diagnose after this. If your ohms check out fine you will need to do more checks on your wiring. I can email you pictures of the diagnostic manual that will help locate which wires.

[@timcaldwell5331]

Is this after putting a reman in?

[@iowafarmer93]

I did this after rebuilding the transmition. The same process would need to be done after putting in a reman or if you change oil types. All this does is allows the computer to measure the time it takes to fill the clutch pacs with oil to achieve a smoother shift.

[@timcaldwell5331]

Now my buddy said something about pcu 20

[@paulwalker9739]

Do you how to calibrate a ssu controller?

[@iowafarmer93]

SSU controller calibration for 8020 series A - For vehicles with SSU control unit programming software part number R218115 or lower.
B - For vehicles with SSU control unit programming software part number higher than R218115 NOTE: Access SSU address 84 and SSU address 85 to determine the software part number. For example, in SSU address 84, the software part number R218115 appears as 218 and in SSU address 85, software part number R218115 appears as 115. 2 Address Description - Type A Action: SSU address 28 does a calibration of the steering portion of the steering control valve (B959) that is only used when AutoTrac is enabled. Display will cycle through CP1, L (left), r (right), CP2, and CP3 during this calibration. IMPORTANT: It is required to jack up the front axle so tires are off the ground during SSU calibration. This will provide consistent values to the controller. 1. Raise front wheels off ground and securely support front of tractor. 
 2. Start tractor. 
 3. Insert fuse in F10 and access SSU address 28 . 
 * Display should read:
28
CP1 
 * Cycle the hazard lights switch (S101) to ON position, then OFF position. Display should read: 28 L 5. Rotate steering wheel to the left at a normal rate of rotation until end stop is reached and pause at end stop. May have to hold at end stop to get display to change. Display should read: 28
r (right) 6. Now rotate steering wheel to the right at a normal rate of rotation until end stop is reached and pause at end stop. May have to hold at end stop to get display to change. Display should read: 
28 CP2 
 type B NOTE: Hydraulic oil temperature must be greater than 20 °C (68 °F) and operator must be seated throughout entire calibration. If these conditions are not met, calibration will exit immediately. If necessary, (See Reference 270-15-100 .) 1. Start tractor and set speed at 1200 rpm. 
 2. Insert 'Diag' fuse, F10. 
Display should read:

dIA 
 3. Move the turn signal to right turn several times to select SSU. Display should read:
--
SSU 
 4. Actuate the flash to pass lever to access the SSU. Display should read:
000
SSU 
 5. Access SSU address 28 . See Access Control Unit Addresses , Reference 245-05-002 . Display should read:
28
CAL 
 6. Cycle the hazard lights switch to ON position, then OFF position. Display should read: 
28 
S-L 
 7. Turn steering wheel to the left (CCW) at a normal rate of rotation until full left turn is reached and pause at end stop. Hold at end stop and cycle the hazard lights switch to ON position, then OFF position. Display should then change to: 
28 
S-r 
 8. Now turn steering wheel to the right (CW) at a normal rate of rotation until full right turn is reached and pause at end stop. Hold at end stop and cycle the hazard lights switch to ON position, then OFF position. Display should read: 
28 P-L 
 6 Calibrating EH Steering Valve Action: 1. Press, and hold, the 'Resume' switch on the armrest. The tractor will steer automatically using the EH steering valve during this Step. 
NOTE: 
The switch must be held through this complete step. Releasing the switch or turning the steering wheel will cause the steering valve (EH Valve) to shut off and the calibration process to terminate. 
The tractor will begin steering left.
Steering motion will begin, then slow, two times.
The valve commands will display as the valve deadband is found.
Once the 'left' deadband is determined, a full left turn to the stop will occur in preparation for calibrating the 'right' deadband. 
 2. When the control unit is ready to calibrate the 'right' deadband, the display will show.... 
28 P-r 
 The tractor will begin steering right.
Steering motion will begin, then slow, two times.
The valve commands will display as the valve deadband is found.
Once the 'right' deadband is determined, the tractor will steer back to center. 1. As the tractor straightens, the display will show.... 
28 
P-C 
 2. After centering, the display will show.... 
28 
EOC 
 3. The 'Resume' switch may now be released. Valve deadbands are displayed at SSU Address 29. 
 4. Turn key switch OFF and remove fuse F10 to return to normal operation.

What the heck is 'flash to pass'?

[@iowafarmer93]

it is when you pull the blinker switch towards you like you would in a vehicle and it flashes your lights. On your blinker switch if you push it forward it turns on the brights. If you pull it to the back position your brights turn off. if you pull it back from there it will turn your brights on but when you release it they go back off. A lot of these tractors have issues with this switch and this function does not work so you can simple put your blinker switch in the forward (bright) position and then turn your light switch all the way to the right and immediately back off and you will get the same result.

[@williamrekow7513]

I guess that explains why I couldn't find the brights where they belonged next to the diff lock...
