Repair the hardware fault. FIX: Repair primary SCR fault; perform "Service Recovery Regen" or "Inducement Reset" via Service Advisor software.

Red Seal field insights

You cannot "battery reset" your way out of this. You need the Deere Service Advisor laptop to perform the reset after the hardware is fixed.
