John Deere 3203, Jinma 354 LE, LS MT573
I just had the dash warning light that looks like a red Exclamation Point come on along with an ear piercing warning siren. The manual just says: "Vehicle Control Error Warning Indicator" and says to contact dealer. Any ideas on what this is?
It gets triggered when I put it in gear (I have shuttle shift) and let the clutch out and start moving. It will go off if I depress the clutch pedal about 1/2".

I don't have a code reader for this. I was hoping somebody else may have had this issue. Any links on code readers that are compatable with LS?

codes display on your dash on the left side. You should be able to look in your manual for the red ! point. For my tractor the exclamation point in red there's also another display associated with regen light. Maybe you exceeded your regen failures (3X) and the ECM needs to be reset by the dealer?? Usually they could come to you to fix that instead of trailering your tractor to the dealer. I've only herd of this issue.... so not positive just throwing that out there.

I agree, fault codes should show on the instrument cluster if there are any active codes. Non-active codes stored can only be retrieved with the dealer's service tool or another scanner that will work on this tractor. If this happens when letting the clutch out and starting to move, the clutch pedal maybe needs to be calibrated or a clutch pedal switch is not working correctly. I say that because you said if you push the pedal down about 1/2", the warning goes away. If the park brake switch was telling it that the park brake was on while trying to move, pushing the pedal down slightly should not matter. Also if the seat switch was not working, it would not let you try to move.

No codes displayed. Ironically I had a regen occur yesterday. Couldn't drive it due to this warning beeper going off so I just parked it and turned up the throttle. This tractor regens regularly around 50hrs. I never canceled regens. If they came up I would drive the tractor to complete the regens.
This is all the manual says about the red exclamation point: "Vehicle Control Error Warning Indicator" and says to contact dealer.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. It can be extremely frustrating when something does not work correctly, and it would seem people are not exactly fourth coming with helpful information when asked. However, the responses are correct with what you have described. The red exclamation point is to get your attention (along with the sound) that something is not right with the tractor. However, there should be a code displayed.

It would be helpful if you were able to take a photo of the dash and post it here.

Got the code today. It flashes in place of my hr meter for a few quick seconds then goes back to hr meter. Took a few times to get the complete code with it going back and forth, but I got it. Code is: 110200 F01. A search came up from 2023 and 1Oldman had it on his 573. Something to do with the shuttleshift and clutch which would explain why if I depress the clutch pedal about 1/2" it stops the ear piercing squeal. Shuttleshift works fine, so maybe a clutch adjustment? Seems odd for 188hrs.

Just now catching up with this post. You're going to have to
take it to the dealer. After a big cluster fudge, they finally
replaced the shuttle lever assembly and messed with the
clutch adjustment. Anyway they finally got it fixed and I've
had no further problems. Like other manufacturer's, they
have proprietary software and to reset, update or adjust
you're at their mercy.

That's what I figured. Manual says "Call dealer". We all know what that mean$. How long did they take to fix yours?
Really sucks because I absolutely need my tractor to move pallets of block and then back fill a foundation. Tractor turned 3 years old in July and warranty is only for 2 I think. Only 188 hrs on it.

I'd have to go back and look at the timeline. Briefly: dealer sent
tech to my place....however tech didn't have the password to access
the laptop (Haha...but it wasn't funny at the time). Then hauled it to
dealer. Dealer ordered the hand/shuttle shift assembly. Then dealer heard
(from another dealer in Houston) it just needed a clutch adjustment and
software update. So, dealer cancelled the part order. Dealer later
realized it needed BOTH to get it fixed. Anyway it burned up almost
3 months of my warranty just sitting on the dealers lot. I hope you have
better luck and your tractor gets fixed asap.

I am going to try to take a close look at the clutch pedal and see if there is an adjustment on it. I posted that depressing the clutch about a 1/2" cuts off the siren. The other day I really paid closer attention and I don't think it is even a 1/2" that I was pushing it in.

hmmmm....maybe... (Timber Farm:"......, but I got it. Code is: 110200 F01.")
If code is for shuttle assembly, I'm not sure shortening clutch pedal engagement
will fix the problem. But if it does, it might save you a trip to the :devilish: dealer.
Everything, by design, on these new tractors is tied into the software. Good
luck.
