John Deere 130r fuel temperature high

[paul&mandy]

Keeping flashing up fuel temperature is high and to clean debris etc. Rads are all clean. Dealer suggested change the sensor that I've ordered in.
Anyone else this?

Now Then..
What error codes??

 

[paul&mandy]

Sodded about all day with cleaning rad that was clean anyway and wriggling wires etc

Does your tractor have a fuel heater installed??
Check the fuel temperature on the screen first thing in the morning, check it against some other sensors, they should all be the same until you start it.
Also, try the fuel temperature with a infrared thermometer next to the fuel sensor..

Im not sure it has a heater.
How do I check the fuel temperature? Can't say I've ever seen it on either of my r series in the menus..
Even though I've not had a fuel filter blockage warning could it be anything to do with that as seemed to throw the high temp warning more when hedge cutting up hill.
Could it just be the temperature sensor failing?
Thanks

Personally I find temp sensors v reliable. Look in the 'Machine monitor' section, there's a tab for temp sensors as I recall. Temp, pressure, speed, etc all on separate tabs

Is this resolved??

 

[paul&mandy]

New sensor coming today hopefully. Did a small job yesterday and in 4hrs come up once.
Totally forgot to see if I could check the temperature readouts on the screen.

Have you changed the fuel filters.

Did it to ours changed filters and that solved it.

Ah yes, load the parts cannon, don't worry about a diagnosis, just blast away until its fixed

 

[paul&mandy]

No way of checking fuel temperature on screen I can find. It's behaved all morning today, new sensor being dropped off later, hopefully that will fix it if not I've got a fitter out next week for another job anyway.

No as it's not come up with a filter blocked message. Bit should have tried it I suppose...
Saying that a friend who gets the same order of fuel as we buy bulk together is having issues with blocked filters yesterday.

I'd change the fuel filters first tbh.

@paul&mandy Did you fix it?

I've put the new sensor on but have not used the tractor due to a breakdown on the new hedger. Luckily wife's tractor and hedger are free this week to jump on.
1 thing I noticed when removing the sensor was that it wasn't much more than finger tight. May or may not have been anything to do with it.....

I’m not sure but I think the fuel runs through a cooler, however when the filter is starting to block it is diverted so it doesn’t go through the cooler to keep the pressure down and flow up.

Ours never showed a filter blocked error only a fuel temp to high. Changed filters and never saw the error again.

It will be the filters, ours done the same near enough bang on when the service was due, changed the filters and hasn't done it since.
