3830 GST Error 20

alanjb · Nov 27, 2003

I have a 3830 GST with 65 hours. While using a blade a lost drive power. The display read Error 20, and the GST light flashes. I am now stuck in the woods. Anybody got any ideas? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Do you want to know what the error means, or do you want to know how to get out of the woods???

Or Both? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Both, I can get it to a position I can get it on my trailer, I am just hoping my winch can pull it on the trailer if I need to take it to the shop.

As per my shop manuel: ERROR20, communication error between ECU and electronic instrument panel(GST model) probably cause: fuse blown out: communication line between ECU and electronic Instrument panel is broken or short circuited: No signal from ECU for longer than 5 seconds( error cleared if signal sent and received later): ECU defective: Sounds like you got a bad fuse or a loose connection.

Check your fuse, check for a loose wire. Not being there could a stick have come up in underneath the tractor and pulled the wire from it's connector?
