L3901 Throwing Codes/Broken Battery Post Clamp

[Quinncannon]

Hello, I have a 2015 L3901, been a terrific tractor since I bought it new. On Saturday, I was mowing, I came to a stop to check on something, then proceeded, but the tractor stalled. I started it back up no problem, then I noticed on the hour meter, codes were intermittently flashing. These are the codes P0606, P0629, P0627, P0087. The tractor stalled a couple of more times, I then drove it back to the barn and parked it. I pulled off the negative cable from the battery, to see if it would clear, it did not. I then checked the positive side, the battery post clamp was broken in two from top to bottom. I know this would likely be part of the problem. I called the Kubota dealer and ordered the part, I was told the whole cable had to be ordered, fine with me.

This is my first modern tractor, first with all of this electronic equipment....will a broken battery clamp cause this problem or is something else going on?

Thanks

Any inconsistency with voltage or bad grounds can wreck havoc on electronic controls and set multiple codes.

Once I have the new part secured on the battery and starter, do you think the codes will be difficult to clear?

My understanding is there is a way to clear the codes from the display using the regen switch on the dash but only the dealer can clear codes from the ECM.

ECM? Electronic Control Module? Thanks

Just an update here...I went to the local Kubota dealership, picked up the cable. I was quickly told that a technician would have to come out to the homestead and reset the codes, approximate cost, $160.00. I think that's fair enough.

Thanks for the input!
