Error code 008 NX4510

[JimR]

The saga continues. I called the dealer today about my tractor. They are waiting for a Rep call from Kioti on how to proceed with my repair and authorization for it. The dealer pulled my warranty records. There was work done to this tractor before I bought it. They think that it may have ECU issues from a previous welding job done at the original selling dealer??? I bought this tractor new with only a few hours on it. The mechanic has pulled the exhaust off of it. I was told that it is plugged up and you cannot see thru it. The ECU is saying that it is not clogged up and has a "0" reading. Normally you can see thru the system when it is apart. Kioti had their phone lines down for 4 days after the hurricane and the dealer is having problems getting in touch with them. He said that they have been calling the Rep daily for answers on how to proceed. I was told to call them back at the end of next week. Hopefully by then they will have a response from Kioti. The ECU has had an update done to it before I purchased it.

Thanks for the update, JimR. Sure hope Kioti and the dealer are about to turn the corner on this. It has to be very frustrating for you. Heck, I'm merely reading about it, and I'm frustrated! Repeat error codes; CEL warnings; short-cycling of regens; plugged exhaust. Potential for ECU damage due to previous onboard welding. Having to haul back and forth to the dealer. Even phone lines down at Kioti in Wendell for four days after the hurricane!

If it weren't such a bad pun, I'd say you're having a perfect storm of problems. Looking forward to better news soon!

You are so right, perfect storm of problems. Fortunately I have not needed my tractor other than for field mowing. I've been mowing the fields with my Cub Cadet 50 inch rider. I'm sure that eventually it will get fixed. Now I wonder what is causing the exhaust to plug up. I was told that if it was burning oil the exhaust converter would burn a hole in it from the heat of burning the oil residue. It will be interesting to see what they say about this problem.

Please keep us updated our 4510 is doing a very similar thing. It痴 in the field now won稚 start error code 008. Thinks the parking brake is not on and says it痴 in gear

008 is supposed to be water in the fuel filter alarm. The mechanic told me that sometimes the ECU has so many codes that it blows this one as a ghost code. I didn't have any water in my fuel filter. The code never should have been triggered.

So I picked our NX4510 from the dealer after repair. The ticket says New Seat with Micro Switch style reset codes and adjusted the Position control.
My question is "New Style Seat Switch" and relation to code 008. What if we bypass safety switch all together?? Especially if it causes these kind of problems
But its running for now and starts which is better than when we dropped it off

 

[JimR]

My seat switch has been bypassed for over two years.

I spoke with the dealer this morning about my tractor. They were able to clean out the exhaust canister. The Kioti Rep said to change out the exhaust differential switch on top of the canister and that should fix the problem. This switch is what tells the ECU to run a Regen as the pressure from the front and rear of the canister starts to have an imbalance, meaning that the canister is plugging up. Right now the parts manager is locating a switch for me. I hope that ends this problem.

I hope so too, I can only imagine the frustration.

Me too because it has been 4 weeks without a tractor. I am just glad I haven't really needed it yet for anything serious. I'm just putting off a few things until I get it back home, that probably won't be until next week sometime.
