Powershift transmission calibration

NOTICE: If you encounter an error message during calibration, consult the table at the end of this procedure. If you
cannot resolve the problem using the table, contact your CASE IH dealer for assistance.

WARNING
Unexpected machine movement!
The machine could move automatically dur-
ing calibration. Park on a flat surface, en-
gage the parking brake, and be sure that
the area around the machine is clear before
starting the calibration process.
Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.

Before calibrating the transmission,

• The vehicle must be in an open area, free of obsta-
cles and away from other people and pets
• Transmission oil temperature must be warmed to
more than 60  °C ( 140  °F ) .

1. Press and hold the Enter key on the key pad within ten
seconds of moving the key switch to the on position.
The CONFIG MENU displays.

9. The Oil Deg (oil degree) screen displays, reporting the

current temperature of the hydraulic fluid in the trans-
mission. The value is in degrees Celsius. Transmission
fluid should be between 60 - 105  °C for optimum
calibration results.
• If temperature is within range, press the Enter key
to continue and go to Step 13.
• If temperature is out of range, continue with Step
10.

10. Depending on the current temperature of the hydraulic

fluid, three different messages may occur. If the fluid
is between 10 - 60  °C , a “Low Oil Temp” message
displays for 4 seconds and then the Oil Deg screen
redisplays.
• Press the Enter key while the “Low Oil Temp”
message displays to continue calibration.
• Perform calibration at a lower temperature only
when the recommended temperature range can-
not be achieved at the current ambient tempera-
ture.
• Move the vehicle to a heated enclosure, warm
the vehicle, and then perform clutch calibration RAIL14TR02486AA 6
again.

11. If transmission fluid is hotter than 105  °C , a “Hot Oil

Temp” message displays for four seconds and then
the Oil Deg screen redisplays.
• Press the Enter key while the “Hot Oil Temp”
message displays to continue calibration.
• Perform calibration at a higher temperature only
when the recommended temperature range can-
not be achieved at the current ambient tempera-
ture.
• Allow the vehicle to cool, and then perform clutch
calibration.

12. If transmission fluid is colder than 10  °C , a “Cold Oil

Temp” message displays for four seconds and then
the Oil Deg screen redisplays.
• Press the Enter key while the “Cold Oil Temp”
message displays to abort calibration. A Cal
Aborted screen displays.
• Press the Enter key to access the Cal Exit screen,
and then press the Enter key to exit calibration.
• Move the vehicle to a heated enclosure, warm the
vehicle, and then perform clutch calibration.

13. The Eng RPM (engine) screen displays, reporting cur-

rent engine RPM.
14. Set engine speed to 1200 - 1300  RPM , and then
press the Enter key to continue.
NOTICE: If the Enter key is pressed when engine speed
is too low, a “Cal Aborted” message displays. Press the
Enter key again; the Cal Exit screen displays. Press the
Enter key again to continue with the calibration process.

NOTE: If engine speed is adjusted, an “Eng Stblzng” (en-

gine stabilizing) message may display while engine speed
stabilizes. The message disappears after a few seconds.

Calibration messages
Message Recommended action
Low oil temp Calibration is not recommended until the oil is warmer.
Cold Oil Temp Oil temperature is too low to permit calibration. Calibration cannot proceed until the
oil is warmer.
Hot Oil Temp Oil temperature is too high to permit calibration. Calibration cannot proceed until the
oil is cooler.
Eng Stblzng Engine speed is stabilizing. Normally displays for a short period of time. Calibration
cannot proceed unless engine speed is stable.
Shift to FWD Move the transmission control lever to the forward position to continue calibration.

Message Recommended action

Pedal Up Inching pedal is depressed and must be released to proceed with calibration.
Shift to P Move the transmission control lever to the park position to continue calibration.
Cal High Calibration failed. Clutch is not engaging. Contact your dealer.
Cal Low Calibration failed. Clutch is always engaged. Contact your dealer.
Cal Aborted Operator pressed the Enter key during calibration causing the procedure to abort.
Low Eng RPM Calibration aborted because engine speed was too low. Set engine speed to 1200 -
1300  RPM and restart calibration.
High Eng RPM Calibration aborted because engine speed was too high. Set engine speed to 1200
- 1300  RPM and restart calibration.
Speed Unstbl Ground speed was not stable during parking brake calibration. Ground may be
sloped or uneven. Remove any implements. Repeat on flat smooth pavement.
Seat Error Operator left the seat during calibration and the calibration procedure aborted.
Lever Error The transmission control lever was moved during calibration and the calibration pro-
cedure aborted.
Tractor Moving Tractor moved during calibration was aborted and the calibration procedure aborted..
Also displays if tractor is moving when calibration is started. Parking brake may not
be working properly.
