John Deere – 1023E, 1025R and 1026R – Test SCV Implement Relief Pressure

Perform this test to check condition of the hydraulic SCV relief valve setting (implement operation pressure). This determines if there is sufficient oil pressure to operate implements.

[1] – Park machine safely.

[2] – Install pressure gauge as follows:
Assemble AM105467 coupler, JTO5486 connector, JTO3017 hose, and JTO3345 pressure gauge in pressure port (A).

[3] – Start engine and set throttle at fast idle.

[4] – Check pressure on gauge by activating SCV control handle, read gauge, and release.

Results
– Pressure should be to specification.
– If there is no pressure, repeat test using different coupler. If pressure exists, replace coupler and repeat test.
– If pressure is below specification, the relief valve may be malfunctioning or hydraulic pump may have damaged or have worn parts.
