No Start. Trouble code PO 605

[Ken "Big Dadty"]

New t I this group. I purchased my uncles 2018 L4701 Kubota tractor with loader and backhoe. It has the PO 605 trouble code. I have tested all mini fuses on left side of tractor. I have also pulled the cover over instrument panel to expose the 3 relays on left side of instrument panel and all are good. You turn key to start and nothing. Starter will not work. The ecu above instrument panel starts making " noises" like it is running a test but no starting or engine turn over at all. Battery i took out and charged to 13.6 volts and have a green charged eye on battery and it shows 13.6 volts on multi meter. Really need to get this machine making money. Any help appreciated. Thanks

It has a ECM issue, you're going to need to have dealer work on it.

Wow!
That seems incredibly helpful for the OP!
Even the suggested number of hours to be charged.

that’s what kubota pays the dealer under warranty, doesn’t mean it’s fair, techs/dealer usually get screwed.

Sadly, that is true!!

 

[Ken "Big Dadty"]

Thank you

Well I fixed it myself. Wish I would have seen the other posts before I did. But 750.00 is a lot cheaper than 3k for a new one. But I seen in answers to my post that there is a way to get kubota to pay for it up to 8 yrs from build date if I read it correctly. Im REALLY PISSED the dealer I spoke to didnt tell me about this " recall on PO 605 trouble code" unless he is double dipping and by that I mean charging me full price and also getting paid by kubota too. Thanks for info. Its running great anyhow.
