Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the factory diagnostic manual for the John Deere 6010 series - 6010, 6110, 6210, 6310, 6410, 6510, 6610, 6810 and 6910, including SE and S builds, 1998 to 2005. It is the book you open when a light comes on or a system quits: service code diagnostics for every controller on the machine (BCU, BIF, ECU, HCU, PCU, PEC, PLC, RCU, SFA, TCU, UIC), symptom charts, functional schematics and wiring diagrams per build, circuit testing, and test values with real pressures and torques for the transmissions, hydraulics, steering, brakes and drive systems. It is a diagnostic manual, not a teardown book - disassembly and rebuild live in the separate repair manuals.
