General Information

Section 210 opens with safety measures covering everything from preventing machine runaway and handling fluids safely to avoiding high-pressure fluid injuries and servicing the cooling system safely. It also includes general references such as unified inch and metric bolt torque values, hydraulic system fitting torques, component identification tables, and detailed guides on how to read both functional and diagnostic schematics.

Engine

Section 220 provides operational check-out procedures and preliminary engine tests, followed by dynamometer testing procedures to evaluate engine performance and determine whether a tune-up will restore operating efficiency. The engine tests help identify conditions such as coolant contamination or compression problems that require repair rather than adjustment.

Fuel, Air Intake and Cooling Systems

Section 230 covers testing the air intake system for restrictions, checking the cooling system for leaks, verifying thermostat opening temperatures, checking the viscous fan drive, testing the fuel transfer pump, and adjusting the hand throttle lever and accelerator pedal. Component descriptions explain the fuel system layout, coolant circuit, intercooler operation, and the ring-shaped transmission oil cooler.

Electrical System

Section 240 is extensive, covering sub-system diagnostics for the cab, open operator’s station and SE tractors. It includes component testing procedures for starters, alternators, batteries, relays, diodes, sensors, solenoids, switches and motors. Functional schematics for the AutoPowr/IVT transmission, PowrQuad Plus and AutoQuad transmissions, open operator’s station and SE tractor are provided, along with complete wiring harness details.

Electronic Control Units

Section 245 covers operation and general information on diagnostics, data BUS systems diagnosis and theory of operation, and detailed diagnostics for every control unit on the machine: BCU (Basic Control Unit), BIF (Basic Informator), ECU (Engine Control Unit), EPC (Electronic PowrQuad Controller), JDL (JDLink), PLC (Park Lock Controller), PRF (Performance Monitor), SFA (Suspended Front Axle and Cab Control Unit), SIC (E-SCV/E-ICV Controller), TCU (Transmission Control Unit) and UIC (User Interface Controller). Each control unit section includes calibration and input addresses, circuit tests, operational tests and component checks.

Transmissions

Sections 250 through 255 cover the full range of transmission options: SyncroPlus, Power Reverser, AutoPowr/IVT, and PowrQuad/PowrQuad Plus/AutoQuad. Each section includes introductory checks, operational check-out, tests and adjustments, and operation descriptions. The AutoPowr/IVT section is particularly detailed, with circuit tests for proportional solenoid valves, hydrostatic unit solenoids, clutch solenoids, speed senders and the electronic park lock.

Drive Systems, Steering and Brakes

Section 256 covers drive systems, including front-wheel drive axle operation and differential lock function. Section 260 covers steering and brake systems with operational check-out, tests and adjustments. Both sections include the diagnostic procedures needed to verify proper operation and isolate faults.

Hydraulic System

Section 270 provides comprehensive hydraulic system coverage, beginning with operational check-out and moving through tests and adjustments to operation descriptions. The section includes hydraulic circuit symbols, system pressures, flow rates and testing procedures for the hydraulic pump, valves and cylinders. This is essential for diagnosing hydraulic performance issues and verifying repairs.

Operator’s Cab and Miscellaneous

Section 290 covers the operator’s cab with operational check-out, tests and adjustments, and operation. Section 280 covers miscellaneous systems. Section 299 provides dealer-fabricated special tools with dimensions and construction details for tools that can be made in the workshop.

Your Complete Diagnostic and Testing Resource

This John Deere 6020-6920S Operations and Tests manual gives you the diagnostic procedures, test sequences and specifications needed to keep these tractors running correctly. From engine dynamometer testing to CAN BUS diagnostics, from hydraulic pressure checks to transmission calibration, every major system is covered with the depth required for professional service work.

When you are troubleshooting an intermittent electrical fault on a 6420 or diagnosing a transmission issue on a 6920, having the correct test procedures and expected values is the difference between a quick fix and hours of guesswork. This manual provides the functional schematics, component test data and step-by-step diagnostic routines that let you work efficiently and accurately. The electrical section alone covers multiple transmission and operator station configurations, ensuring you have the right diagram for the tractor in front of you.
