Great video. I don’t get many deeres to work on down here. But I would love to try this out. Thanks bud.

Good info.. I agree, suspect jump start takes the module OUT

Nice video BaldEagle, great info to have if I run across one of these. 👍

He's right on with this diagnosis. Mine started out intermittently. It is there as a buffer when the seat safety opens. Your local deere stocks these. Also, a battery tender is cheaper than a battery, I use one, mostly in the winter. 2005 gx345.

Have to admire the over engineering on that engine, the mystery board with the red & green LEDs, the non intuitive no start fault from a bad shut down module, the insane cost of replacing almost any part of it, plus the engines habit of acting like a bug fogger every so often. Always enjoy watching your channel and thanks for the link to the cheaper TDM

@@baldeagle242 I was selling my house and the buyer asked me to throw the WH in on the deal. I figured what the heck I'll buy a new tractor for the new house. Big mistake.

The problem with this module, is it is poorly built cheap Chinesium part contracted out by Deere and then they charge you outrageous for that junk. The board says Danlum Corp. on it. The outside case says nothing. How about just hook up a relay like a normal rider had. My guess is this is used to delay a short lift off the seat safety switch on bumps, where they used to kill the engine and backfire. If it wasn't potted there is about $1.50 worth of components soldered to that board. All replaceable by many DIY's out there.

You're not wrong.

I like your editing style baldeagle Deere must have asked NASA how they launch the space shuttle & then copied them to start a mower . Also, Deere troubleshooting schematic for the gx345 shows the negative of a booster being connected to the metal frame and not the negative of the dead battery ! There is no warning that connecting directly to a dead battery will damage components

Great easy to understand video my friend.

If you suspect a surge is destroying the module, then it is likely one of the active components is getting damaged. Either the two transistors or one of the diodes. You can test the transistors and diodes with your multimeter.

Excellent video Steve, well explained 👏 👍

Im about to completely build a new ignition system using Chinese atv partd. Its a cdi ignition so cant be to hard.

I have JD 345, not sure the year but it has no spark. It doesnt have one of those tdm that I can see? I do have a black square box just off to the side of the starter motor and its mounted to the engine block with one screw? Is that the same thing or something else? Thanks in advance!

@baldeagle242

Ай бұрын

Yes, that is the same thing. It can be replaced with the round style shown in this video. My understanding is the square style is no longer available.

What’s a common crank no start with the earlier model 345’s with the TDM?

@baldeagle242

A stuck fuel solenoid on the carburetor is another reason it will fail to start when cranking. This can be diagnosed with a shot of starting fluid in the carburetor.

Nevermind the post adapters were on this video

Hello. I've had a bad battery for a while, and have been using a huge battery module to jump-start it. Always worked, but I did experience occasional missing at high speed. Now, the engine won't start. I did replace the battery a month ago and everything was working fine. Until last week. It won't start. No Spark on either side. When ignition key is turned on, power does get to the Ignition delay module (through SE2 on the schematic) and power is sent to the solid state ignition module via the Org-Wht wire. So, I'm wondering if it's the Ignition delay module, or the solid state Ignition Module. I'm also going to see if power is getting to the Ignition coils. I don't know what else it could be, I guess It could be the pulser coils, but both malfunctioning at the same time would be a huge coincidence. The tractor is a JD 425, built in 1993. Kawasaki FD620D Engine. Any ideas??? :) The Ignition Module is expensive, but I do have a brand new delay module, which cost me $84 in Canada.

Update - According to the service manual, the Ignition Delay Module (IDM) keeps power going to the Ignition Module (IM) for a second and a half or so "after" the ignition switch is turned off. This is to ignite any unburned fuel in the cylinders, and stop backfiring. I checked the IDR and have the following results... 1. It is powered all the time via the Red wire connected to the starter, which is correct according to the Schematic diagram. 2. When the ignition switch is turned to the on position (ie Starter NOT engaged yet), power is supplied to the IM via the Orange wire. This is without engaging the starter. 3. When the ignition switch is turned off, power does remain on the IM (via the orange wire) for about a second and a half, as noted in the service manual. 4. Power is also being applied to the 2 Ignition coils via the Yellow/white wire. 5. The ground wire is solid on the frame.(Black Wire) My conclusion is that the IDM functions as intended. But there is still no spark. I decided to see if I could test the pulser coils. I disconnected connector X8. I put a volt meter across each of the Pulser coil terminals inside connector X8. When the engine is turned over, they both do produce voltage. That leaves only the IM and Ignition coils, but as noted, both of the Ignition coils going out at the same time would be an incredible coincidence. So that leaves the IM. It can't be tested easily, so I guess I'll take a chance and get a new one? Comments?

If it’s still getting fire and won’t start it’s possible the valves need to be adjusted. If it’s not getting fire you could have a bad or weak coil pack. How many hours are on the mower?

If the capacitor is suspect, wouldn't it be very easy to unsolder and resolder a new electrolytic capacitor?

Very true. The issue with these is picking all of the embedding compound out without damaging something else in the process. The cost for a new time delay module is low enough that it negates the time and effort it takes to expose the components on the board.

Why can’t we bypass this? I’m gonna try. I disconnect seat and reverse safety switches on any lawnmower.

I’d be happy to send you this one but I probably did more damage to it pulling all off the stuff off of it that it was embedded in than anything. I know I cracked some of the porcelain or ceramic off a few of the resistors. I probably spent a good 30-40 minutes picking it off just to show it for a few seconds in this video.
