JCB 4160, 4190, 4220 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 4160 transmission G fault code flashing on display with loss of drive speed p. 275
Inspect the wiring connectors behind the rear right-hand cab panel as instructed on page 275. Check for damaged connectors, loose connections, and chafed insulation. Verify the radar sensed speed calibration is set to 131.8 pulses per metre for UK models or 132.7 pulses per metre elsewhere.
Manual Section: Electrical System DiagnosticsHigh coolant temperature warning light illuminates with audible alarm during heavy towing p. 244
Stop the machine and let the engine cool. Check the radiator and cooler for clogging as shown on page 244. Verify the coolant level is correct and torque the coolant filler cap to 20 N·m. If the system is low, fill the 31L capacity cooling system with approved JCB antifreeze.
Manual Section: Engine & Fuel System FaultsFront 3-point linkage drops under load or hydraulic controls fail to respond p. 212
Verify the load does not exceed the 3,500kg maximum front 3-point linkage capacity. Replace the hydraulic oil filter as indicated on page 212 if the service interval is met. Hold the hydraulic settings reset button until the buzzer sounds to restore all user settings as outlined on page 93.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System MalfunctionsGearbox oil temperature warning code G0016 appears on the dashboard display during operation p. 297
Check the transmission fluid level immediately. Review the error code reference on page 297, which indicates the gearbox oil temperature has exceeded 110°C (229.8°F). Drain the transmission and refill the 35L capacity system with fresh fluid if the oil smells burnt or shows heavy contamination.
Manual Section: Transmission & Gearbox IssuesFrequently Asked Questions
How to reset a JCB Fastrac 4160/4190/4220 service or maintenance message?
