Introduction
This lesson discusses the electronic systems installed on Challenger
35, 45 and 55 Agricultural Tractors including the electronic control
modules, the network that allows the modules to communicate and
normal, warning and diagnostic operation.
Three electronic control modules are installed on the machine:
Electronic Monitoring Center (EMC) Module: The EMC is
located in the front dash. The EMC provides the operator with
machine operating conditions and other machine information on
the displays in the dash.
Right Hand Control (RHC) Module: The RHC is mounted in
the right side console. It controls many of the machine functions
initiated by the operator.
Chassis Control Module (CCM): The CCM is mounted on the
cab floor behind the operator's seat. The CCM controls
transmission shifting, the three-point hitch function and the draft
control function.
Unit 2 2-5-2 Machine Specific
Lesson 5
All the modules communicate information from sensors, switches and

operator controls to each other and to displays or actuators as
directed. The operator instructs the electronic modules what to do,
the modules interpret the commands and direct the machine
subsystems to complete the functions as required.
On the cover of the CCM and RHC is a red lamp. The state of each
red lamp indicates the status of the module.
FLASH: The module is operating normally.
CONSTANT ON: The module is malfunctioning.
OFF: The module is not receiving power (key start switch OFF)
or the CAN (Controller Area Network) Data Link is
malfunctioning.
The EMC green status lamp on the lower center section of the EMC
indicates the system and/or EMC status.
FLASH: A malfunction is detected in a system monitored by the
EMC and is shown on the warning lamps or bar graphs.
CONSTANT ON: The module is functioning normally.
NOTE: Two different part numbers exist for the CCM. One
part number is for machines with the three-point hitch function,
and one number is for machines without the three-point hitch
function.
The RHC and CCM do not contain any serviceable or
mechanical components. The only serviceable components on the
EMC are the lamps. The modules should never be opened or
disassembled.

All the modules communicate information using a communications

network technology referred to as the CAN (Controller Area
Network) Data Link.
This technology allows modules to perform many functions through
the use of shared input and output resources, thus minimizing sensors
and wiring components. In addition, modules check for faults and
display or store this information as required for reference in
servicing. Two shielded signal wires of the CAN Data Link connect
all the modules.
The machine electronic system has 12 service modes which allow the
technician to troubleshoot most problems without disconnecting
modules or connectors. An additional feature of the electronic system
is the Diagnostic and Maintenance (DAM) connector. This connector
permits external diagnostic equipment to communicate with the
modules. The external diagnostic equipment is used for more
detailed testing, programming or calibration. The DAM connector is
located next to the main fuse panel.

Six harnesses connect the various machine circuits. The harnesses

are: Cab Main (CM), Cab Roof (CR), Front Main (FM), Front Light
(FL), Right Hand Console (RH) and the Rear Main (RM). All
connectors are identified by the letter "C" and three digits such as
"C007." Each wiring harness has both color and letter identifiers on
each wire.
The Cab Main (CM) harness utilizes a Main Fuse Panel (MFP)
between the Main Distribution Panel (MDP) and the two batteries.
The MFP is located at the base of the right console near the cab floor.
The MFP houses eight large fuses to protect the MDP. The MDP is
located behind a cover on the right pillar inside the cab. The MDP
has 30 fuse locations and 17 relay locations.
NOTE: If an electrical failure in the transmission shifting system
occurs, a special tool can be used to temporarily operate the
transmission. The tool is called a "Limp Home Switch and Wire
Assembly." For more information, see the topic "Transmission
System Electrical Component Operation" in the Service Manual
module "Challenger 35/45/66 Agricultural Tractors Transmission
Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting" (Form SENR8304).

ELECTRONIC MONITORING CENTER
When the key start switch is turned ON, the Electronic Monitoring
Center (EMC) performs a self test. During the self test, all the
displays, bar graphs, alert indicators and the alarm horn are activated
for a brief time.
The EMC is divided into the following areas:
Fuel level and engine oil pressure are shown in the left bar graphs.
The upper section consists of 17 alert indicators, which provide
operating information or give warning of abnormal conditions.
The central display area shows transmission gear information on the
upper display. Engine speed is shown in the center display. The
lower display shows operating hours, ground speed or PTO speed, as
selected.
Coolant temperature and transmission temperature are shown in the
right bar graphs.
The Machine Performance Monitor (MPM) is on the right side of the
EMC. The MPM provides information on the three-point hitch and
other selected system information. Fault code information is also
shown.
The keypad has 11 touch-sensitive keys that are used to select
different EMC functions to be shown on the central display and
MPM. The keys are also used for calibration purposes.
Lesson 5
The keys on the lower left side of the EMC are used to control the
work lights and to adjust the brightness of the back lighting (panel
dim) within the EMC.
The lower center section consists of three alert indicators (parking
brake, bright lights, and system status), which provide operating
information or give warning of abnormal conditions.

Lesson 5
Fig. 2.5.7
Normal Operation
During normal operation, the EMC (Electronic Monitoring Center)

shows the operator and service technician three machine conditions:
Normal Operation, Warning Operation and Diagnostic Operation.
The electronic control modules continually monitor machine systems.
A value is displayed for certain machine conditions being monitored.
The bar graphs of the EMC show a normal range value (in the central
region) for certain conditions.
The EMC also displays an abnormal machine condition. When an
abnormal condition (problem) exists for more than eight seconds, the
corresponding alert indicator or bar graph illuminates to notify the
operator.
The occurrence of an abnormal condition is stored in memory as a
specific fault code. Service personnel can view these fault codes to
assist with troubleshooting.
The EMC displays if a fault exists in the electrical system. The
electronic control modules continually check for faults in the
electrical circuits on the machine. When a fault is detected, the
"Read Your Manual" symbol (on the EMC) is turned ON, and the
event is stored in memory. Also, the corresponding fault code is
shown on the four-digit readout of the machine performance panel
(on the EMC).
The EMC enters the Normal Mode when it is powered up (key start
switch turned ON). Leaving the Normal Mode is accomplished by
initiating a service operation with the keypad.

Warning Operation
The twenty alert indicators and four bar graphs notify the operator of
the status of machine conditions or that an abnormal condition exists.
Also, an audible alarm notifies the operator.
The EMC analyzes the problem and activates the appropriate warning
indication to notify the operator. The indications are: status, non-
critical and critical.
Status Indication: Informs the operator of normal machine status.
For example, the turn signals, trailing equipment turn signals, cold
start indicator, upshift and downshift indicators, high beam lamp and
the parking brake lamp are alert indicators that show normal machine
status.
The operator can identify this type of warning by the presence of the
following indicators:
a. An alert indicator for status is illuminated.
b. The system status indicator is illuminated.
Non-Critical Warning Indication: An abnormal condition exists

that is non-critical. Investigate the cause at the earliest convenience.
The illuminated alert indicator identifies the problem system.
The operator can identify this type of warning by the presence of all
the following indicators:
a. An alert indicator is illuminated or a bar graph is flashing.
b. The system status indicator is flashing.
Lesson 5
Critical Warning Indication (Shutdown): An abnormal condition

exists that is critical. The EMC will automatically shut down the
engine within 30 seconds. Stop the machine and immediately find
the cause of the problem to prevent damage to the machine. The
illuminated alert indicator identifies the problem system.
The operator can identify this type of warning by the presence of all
the following indicators:
a. An alert indicator is illuminated or a bar graph is flashing.
b. The system status indicator is flashing.
c. The audible alarm continuously sounds. The alarm will
continue until the problem is corrected or the engine is
stopped.
d. A STOP message appears in the central display area.
e. The fault code for the problem is logged.
Thirty seconds after the start of a critical warning, the engine is

automatically shutdown. The conditions that can cause a critical
warning to occur are: engine oil pressure too low, coolant
temperature too high, transmission oil pressure too low, transmission
oil temperature too high or oil is bypassing the steering filter. If oil is
bypassing the steering filter, a 90-second delay occurs before the
STOP message appears.
The automatic shutdown feature protects the engine and drive train of
an unattended machine that is performing PTO work. The shutdown
override switch on the front dash disables the automatic shutdown
feature and allows continued operation.

Diagnostic Operation
The electronic control modules continually check for faults in the

electrical circuits on the machine. When a fault is detected, the
"Read Your Manual" symbol will flash and the event is stored in
memory. Also, the corresponding fault code will flash on the four-
digit display of the Machine Performance Monitor (MPM). During
normal operation, the operator can choose whether or not to have the
fault codes flash on the display.
A fault code is a three-digit number preceded by the letter "F." Each
fault code identifies the machine circuit or sensor in which the fault is
detected and the type of fault that has occurred. For example, fault
code F314 indicates that a high current has been detected in the PTO
solenoid circuit.
The EMC has several Service Modes to assist with troubleshooting.
The Service Modes that are directly involved with troubleshooting or
diagnostics are:
Mode 2: View/Clear Stored Fault Codes
Mode 3: All Module Input Diagnostics
Mode 4: EMC Output Diagnostics
Mode 5: RHC Output Diagnostics
Mode 6: CCM Draft Control Output Diagnostics
Mode 7: CCM Transmission Control Output Diagnostics
Lesson 5
The View/Clear Stored Fault Mode (Mode 2) is the primary aid for
troubleshooting fault codes. Mode 2 provides information which
includes the number of times a fault code has occurred and the hour
at which the fault last occurred. Also, the fault codes can be cleared
while in Mode 2.

SERVICE OPERATIONS
Twelve service modes are available to aid in troubleshooting,
calibration and adjusting machine performance. The service modes
allow the technician to do most troubleshooting without
disconnecting modules or connectors. Some of the modes can be
accessed only with the engine off, while other modes allow the
operator to drive the machine and monitor its performance during
operation.
Each service mode is assigned a mode number. The service modes of
the EMC are listed in the Service Modes chart. This mode number is
entered into the EMC using the keypad, and the corresponding
service operation begins.

Fig. 2.5.15
Two service alert indicators are provided: One and Two. Each
service alert indicator can be programmed to notify the operator when
a selected interval of time has elapsed. This interval of time (as
measured by the hourmeter) can correspond to a periodic
maintenance schedule. For example: The operator wants to be
notified every 50 hours that minor service is due and every 250 hours
that major service is due. Service Alert One is set at 50 hours, and
Service Alert Two is set at 250 hours.
During normal machine operation, the hourmeter will reach the
selected service interval. The indicator "SERVICE" will flash next to
the hourmeter symbol. The indicator "SERVICE" will continue
flashing for 10 hours of operation or until the display is reset.
To determine which service interval has elapsed (One or Two), the
operator must enter the Operator Calibration Mode (Mode 1) and
advance the display until the indicator "SERVICE" is flashing. At
this time, the previously selected time (50 or 250) will show on the

This mode allows the technician to view and clear stored fault codes
that have occurred in the system. A fault code identifies a specific
component or circuit and the reason for the failure. Up to 30
different fault codes that occur can be stored in memory.
The fault information shown on the EMC while in Mode 2 is:
a. The fault codes are displayed sequentially with the most
recent code shown first and the oldest code last.
b. The hour that the fault code last occurred is shown on the
hourmeter.
c. The number of times a fault code occurs (repeating fault

Procedure to View/Clear Stored Fault Codes:

1. Enter the View/Clear Stored Fault Codes Mode (Mode 2):
enter Mode 2.
Lesson 5
The stored fault codes are displayed sequentially, starting with the
most recent fault. The hour that the fault last occurred will be shown
on the hourmeter. If the fault has occurred more than once, the
number of occurrences will appear on the gear display.
If no fault codes are recorded, the display is blank.
2. To cycle through the fault codes, press the "Setup/Select" key to

Fault codes that cause a shutdown cannot be erased. The shutdown
fault codes are: F386, F387, F394, F400 and F401. If the operator
shuts down the machine prior to the appearance of the word "STOP,"
the shutdown fault code can be erased. If the word "STOP" has been

Mode 10: Transmission Calibration Review And Programming

In this mode, the operator or technician can view the calibration
values for the clutch packs, change the reverse shuttle selections, and
change the programmable upshift and downshift constants.
The available functions are:
C1: The identifier for the low range directional clutch (F1).
C2: The identifier for the high range directional clutch (F2).
C3: The identifier for the reverse directional clutch (REV).
Lesson 5
The calibration numbers for the C1, C2 and C3 functions are for
viewing only. The possible values are 21 to 99. Mode 10 is not used
to program these functions.
C4: The identifier for the forward to reverse shuttle shift offset. The
possible values are 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3 and L. The offset value
determines the gear difference when shifting from forward to reverse.
When the shift control lever is moved from forward to reverse and
the offset value is 0, the machine will engage the same reverse gear
as was selected in forward travel. With an offset value of 2, the
machine will engage a reverse gear two gears higher than the forward
gear that was engaged. With an offset value of -3, the machine will
engage a reverse gear three gears lower than the forward gear that
was engaged. An offset value of L will cause the machine to always
engage R3 (reverse low).
C5: The identifier for the upshift constant used with the
programmable upshift and downshift feature. The possible values are
0, 1, 2 and 3. The upshift constant determines the number of gears to
which the machine will automatically upshift when the programmable
upshift feature is activated by the operator.
C6: The identifier for the downshift constant used with the
programmable upshift and downshift feature. The possible values are
0, 1, 2 and 3. The downshift constant determines the number of gears
to which the machine will automatically downshift when the
programmable downshift feature is activated by the operator.
C7: The identifier for the upshift constant used to "fine tune" the F9
to F10 transmission upshift. The possible values are from 1 to 19.
The value of the upshift constant determines the fill time of the F2
high range clutch.
C8: The identifier for the downshift constant used to "fine tune" the
F8 to F7 transmission downshift. The possible values are from 1 to
19. The value of the downshift constant determines the fill time of
the F1 low range clutch.
Always adjust the C7 or C8 constant by three or more digits to ensure
that the shift quality is noticeably better or worse than the previous
number. The machine must be operated after every adjustment to
evaluate the shift quality. If the machine shift is better, the digits may
be adjusted individually to "fine tune" the shift. If the shift is worse,
change the number by six digits in the opposite direction to improve
the shift. Make sure that the new number is saved after each
adjustment.
This adjustment should be performed only during field conditions

a. Push the three-point position control lever fully forward.
Observe that the hitch lift cylinders fully retract.
b. Move the three-point position control lever to the center of the
slot. A value between 25% and 60% should show on the
display.
If either of the above checks cannot be obtained, the hitch calibration
must be repeated. Stop the engine for a minimum of 10 seconds, and
repeat Steps 1 through 15.

Mode 12: Machine Features Configuration
This mode is used to reconfigure the electronic control modules to

match the features of the machine. For the electronic system to
function correctly, the electronic control modules must be told what
the features or options are. Mode 12 must be used when an
electronic control module has been replaced or an additional option
has been added.
This mode allows the technician to view or change (program) the
value of certain machine features. The engine speed display shows
an identifier that numerically represents the feature. The hourmeter
shows the value of the selected feature.
1. Enter the Machine Features Configuration Mode (Mode 12):
c. Press the "Digit Set" key until the display shows "_ _ 1 2."
d. Press and hold the "Setup/Select" key for 15 seconds to enter
Mode 12. Several "beeps" may be heard, but continue to
press the key until the display changes.

displays. The engine speed display shows the feature identifier
selected. The present value of the feature shows on the
hourmeter. To view the different features, repeatedly press the
"Setup/Select" key. The EMC will cycle through the features.
Lesson 5
3. Changing (programming) the value of a feature is done in the

following manner: repeatedly press the "Setup/Select" key until
the desired feature identifier shows on the engine speed display.
Press the "Digit Set" key to change the value shown on the
hourmeter. Make the necessary changes to the desired feature.
4. To save all the new (just entered) values, press and hold the
"Setup/Select" key for three seconds. The value is then entered
into memory.
NOTE: Fault code F205 may be flashing on the display. Two
conditions may cause this fault code:
1. An electronic control module has been replaced.
Communication must be initiated between the different
electronic control modules on the machine. Saving a value
for any feature of Mode 12 initiates the communication.
2. An incorrect value of a feature has been previously saved.
Check all the features and correct the values where
necessary. When the new value is saved, the F205 fault
code will stop flashing.
Fault code F205 will flash when a new value for a feature is
selected. It will clear when the new value is saved in memory and
the electronic control modules (CCM, RHC and EMC) agree.
