Last time it ran, it ran fine. This morning it won't start. Shows 5 ecu trouble codes:
1/5 ECU 157.16
2/5 ECU 522323.00
3/5 ECU 522596.09
4/5 ECU 522618.09
5/5 ECU 522600.09
I have no idea where to look to find what these codes mean. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Machine only has 375 hours on it. thought it would have ran longer without trouble.

Ok, I’m saying it’s a rat issue lol. They just love to climb in your equipment and find a nice place to snuggle up with your wiring harness. Wiring insulation is evidently a great midnight snack.

I wish that were true but these are Texas rats. Too damn lazy to climb on machines for any reason...unless the pay is good.:)

Inspect the wiring real good like Vetech said. Check your power and grounds to the ECU.
