What to do if combine quick calibration fails on Case IH Farm Equipment?
- A
  Amber SerranoAug 15, 2025
  Several factors can cause the calibration to fail. Verify all sensors are free to move through their full range during calibration. Also, check that the header is properly connected and that sensors swing through a similar range during Insight calibration and combine calibration. If the Insight box detected an error, repair it and clear the error codes on Insight. Finally, ensure the combine recognizes the header by fully lowering the feeder house.

Why is there no automatic operation (height or tilt) on my Case IH Farm Equipment?
- T
  Terri LopezAug 19, 2025
  Several factors can cause this issue. First, the wiring might not be properly connected, or calibration hasn't been completed; refer to the Installation/Calibration section of the manual. Second, header control may not be enabled with cab controls; consult the Operation section for enabling instructions. Third, Insight settings or calibration could be incorrect; ensure the proper combine and header type are selected. Fourth, the power supply from the combine may be less than 11V to Insight; measure the power supply voltage with the key on. Fifth, the Insight box may need to be reset; redo “Perform Calibration” on the Insight box. Lastly, there could be an Insight box/wiring failure.

What to do if display is dim, blank, or hard to read on Case IH Farm Equipment?

  The screen contrast might be improperly adjusted; check the Insight Settings. There could be a weak power supply to the Insight™ box; measure the supply voltage with Insight connected, as some combines do not maintain enough power under electrical load. Another reason may be a short in sensors powered by the Insight box; individually disconnect sensors to isolate the problem – the screen will regain contrast when the faulty sensor is disconnected.

  David ToddAug 26, 2025
  This can occur if the calibration is not properly completed; recalibrate the Insight box and combine. It may also occur if the combine is improperly set; see the Combine Setting Section.

What to do if height works but not tilt on Case IH Farm Equipment?
- D
  Daniel ColemanAug 29, 2025
  First, verify the combine display has a header icon with a wavy line under the header, not a straight line (Flagship combines only); see the Operation manual section. Next, verify the wiring is connected correctly by reading sensor input values to combine at the sensor diagnostics area of the combine screen. Finally, there may be a combine software problem; have a CIH technician update the combine header control software.

  This issue may arise if the calibration is not properly completed; perform a combine Full-Cal, Quick Cal, or Header Cal. Contact Headsight for information regarding optional products Foresight and/or Feathersight.

What to do if I cannot operate header high enough on Case IH Farm Equipment?
- R
  Richard MorrisSep 4, 2025
  This can happen if the calibration is not properly completed; perform a combine Quick-Cal or Header Cal. For corn heads, verify that the extensions are installed at the proper position.

Why is the header not level with header control engaged on Case IH Farm Equipment?
- Z
  Zachary GoodwinSep 7, 2025
  The wiring may be connected improperly; verify that the individual sensor wiring is connected to the main wiring harness at the rear of the header properly.
