| Battery / Charging | RED | Alternator not charging or battery voltage low on your 570N chassis. | Check alternator belt and connections; replace battery if needed. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | Engine coolant temperature exceeds safe limit on your Case 570N, risking overheating. | Stop engine, let cool, check coolant level and radiator for blockages. | |
| Transmission Temp | RED | Transmission fluid overheating due to heavy load or low fluid in your 570N's power shuttle. | Shift to neutral, reduce engine speed, and check transmission fluid level. | |
| Brake System | RED | Brake system fault – low pressure or wear on the service brakes of your Case 570N. | Stop safely, check brake fluid and pads; do not operate until repaired. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | Parking brake engaged or fault detected in the mechanical lock system of your 570N. | Release parking brake before moving; if light stays, service required. | |
| Seat Belt | RED | Operator seat belt not fastened – safety interlock may disable hydraulics on your Case 570N. | Fasten seat belt to operate the machine. | |
| Glow Plug / Preheat | AMBER | Glow plugs are heating the combustion chambers for cold starts on your 570N's diesel engine. | Wait for light to turn off before cranking engine. | |
| DPF / Regeneration | AMBER | Diesel particulate filter needs cleaning – process initiated automatically on your Case 570N. | Keep engine running at idle until regeneration completes; avoid shutdown. | |
| Water in Fuel | AMBER | Water detected in the fuel/water separator on your 570N, risking injection pump damage. | Drain water from separator immediately. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | Fuel level low in your Case 570N tank – refuel soon to avoid air ingestion. | Add diesel fuel as needed. | |
| High Beam | BLUE | High beam headlights are turned on for your 570N's work area. | No action needed; toggle low beam in traffic. | |
| Hydraulic System | RED | General hydraulic system fault – low pressure or dirty oil on your Case 570N loader/backhoe. | Stop machine, check hydraulic fluid level and filter. | |
| Hydraulic Oil | AMBER | Hydraulic oil level low or temperature high in your 570N's system. | Check hydraulic reservoir and cool down if hot. | |
| Air Filter | AMBER | Engine air filter restriction detected on your Case 570N, reducing power. | Clean or replace air filter element. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | Scheduled maintenance interval due based on engine hours on your 570N. | Perform required service per manual (e.g., oil change, filter). | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | Rear or front work lights are active for your Case 570N job site. | No action; turn off when not needed to save battery. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | GREEN | Warning beacon is turned on for visibility on your 570N. | No action; ensure beacon is legal for road travel. | |
| Swing / Slew Lock | AMBER | Swing lock is engaged on the backhoe of your Case 570N to prevent rotation during transport. | Release swing lock before operating backhoe. | |
| Differential Lock | AMBER | Rear differential lock is engaged for maximum traction on your 570N. | Disengage lock when turning on hard surfaces. | |
| PTO Engaged | GREEN | Power take-off is activated for auxiliary implements on your Case 570N. | No action; ensure implement is connected properly. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Overheating
Common causes
- Low coolant level
- Clogged radiator fins
- Faulty thermostat
What to do
Stop engine, allow to cool, then check coolant reservoir and radiator for debris; replace thermostat if stuck closed on your 570N.
Hydraulic System Failure
Common causes
- Low hydraulic oil
- Contaminated fluid
- Worn pump
What to do
Check hydraulic oil level and condition; replace filter and clean suction screen; if pump noise persists, consult dealer for your 570N.
Transmission Slipping
Common causes
- Low transmission fluid
- Worn clutch plates
- Faulty shuttle valve
What to do
Verify fluid level and add correct oil; if slipping continues, inspect clutches and valve body on the 570N power shuttle.
Brake Failure
Common causes
- Air in hydraulic lines
- Worn brake pads
- Low brake fluid
What to do
Bleed brakes, inspect pads and discs, and refill reservoir with DOT 4 fluid for your Case 570N.
Electrical System Malfunction
Common causes
- Loose battery cables
- Failed alternator
- Blown fuse
What to do
Tighten connections, test alternator output (13.5-14.5V), and replace blown fuses per 570N wiring diagram.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Case 570N show a red master warning after starting?
This indicates a serious fault. Immediately stop the engine and check the display for specific codes. Common causes on the 570N include low oil pressure or coolant overheating.
What does the hydraulic oil light mean on the 570N?
It warns of low hydraulic oil level or high temperature. Check the reservoir using the dipstick; if hot, let the system cool. Continued operation can damage the pump.
How do I reset the service hour meter?
The service reminder is reset after completing scheduled maintenance. Use the instrument cluster menu (if equipped) or have a dealer clear it via diagnostic tool.
Is it safe to drive with the DPF regen light on?
Yes, but you must allow regeneration to complete by keeping the engine running at idle until the light turns off. Shutting down during regeneration may cause filter clogging.
The brake light stays on even with the parking brake released. What now?
A stuck brake switch or low brake fluid is common. Check fluid level and the switch under the dash. If fluid is low, inspect for leaks in the system.
Why does my glow plug light flash?
A flashing glow plug light indicates a fault in the preheat system. Have the glow plugs and relay tested. On the 570N, cold starts may be difficult if faulty.
