The JLG-6058-14 (ADE) diesel fault code means: Lift Up Disabled, Platform Load Exceeds Capacity Envelope. This is a serious severity code.
- Keep driving?
- Yes, but fix soon
- DIY difficulty
- moderate
- Estimated cost
- $0 if the issue is a genuine overload (no parts needed). Load cell replacement: $300-$600 in parts DIY, $500-$1,000 at a shop including calibration labor. Inclinometer replacement and calibration: $150-$400 parts DIY plus calibration time, $300-$700 at a shop. Wiring repair: $50-$150 DIY, $200-$400 at a shop.

Common Symptoms
- Platform LCD scrolls SPN 6058 FMI 14 and lift-up motion is locked out
- Boom will not lift upward from platform controls but other functions may still respond
- Yellow or red fault indicator lights on the platform control box
- Ground controls may still allow limited movement depending on override setting
- Load cell or tilt indicator display on the platform LCD shows a value near or above rated capacity
- Machine may allow telescope-in or boom-down to reduce the moment arm but blocks further lift-up
- Audible beep sequence accompanies the lockout when operator tries to push lift-up
Probable Causes (Ranked by Likelihood)
- Platform is loaded at or beyond the rated capacity for the current boom angle and extension combination, triggering the dual-capacity envelope limit in the ADE controller Very Likely
- Faulty or miscalibrated load-sensing cell (load cell) reporting a false overload condition when actual platform weight is within limits Likely
- Boom angle sensor (inclinometer) out of calibration, causing the ADE controller to miscalculate the working envelope and flag a capacity violation Likely
- Boom extension (telescope) position sensor fault feeding incorrect length data to the ADE controller, shifting the calculated load moment into an overload state Possible
- Wiring harness damage or corrosion on the load cell or angle sensor signal circuit, causing intermittent high-resistance readings that the ADE interprets as overload Possible
- ADE controller software requires recalibration after a component replacement, sensor swap, or firmware update that reset capacity parameters Less Likely
- Structural or mounting damage to the load cell bracket causing the cell to read incorrectly under normal loads Less Likely
Step-by-Step Diagnostic Procedure
Step 1. Remove personnel and all tools, materials, and equipment from the platform. Retract the boom fully, bring it to a low angle, and note whether the fault clears on the platform LCD. If 6058-14 clears with an empty platform, the machine was genuinely overloaded. Re-stage the load to stay within the placard capacity for that boom angle and extension.
Step 2. Check the rated capacity placard on the boom or platform railing. JLG dual-capacity machines have two load ratings: a higher rating at restricted geometry and a lower rating at full extension or high angle. Verify your actual load, including personnel weight and tools, does not exceed the lower (unrestricted) capacity.
Step 3. Connect the JLG Analyzer software via the data link at the ground controls. Navigate to the live sensor data screen and read the load cell output in real time with the platform empty and level. Compare the reading to the factory zero-load specification in the service manual. A non-zero reading on an empty platform points to a load cell or wiring fault.
Step 4. Inspect the load cell wiring harness from the platform frame down through the boom to the ADE controller. Look for chafed insulation, pinched wires at pivot points, corroded Deutsch connector pins, and moisture inside connectors. Clean corroded pins with electrical contact cleaner and re-seat the connectors. Retest.
Step 5. Using a multimeter set to DC voltage, backprobe the load cell signal wire at the ADE controller connector with the key on. Refer to the JLG electrical schematic for your model to confirm the expected signal voltage range at zero load. A reading outside that range with a confirmed empty platform means the load cell or its excitation circuit is suspect.
Step 6. Inspect the boom angle sensor (inclinometer) mounting bracket for physical damage or loose fasteners. With the boom horizontal and fully retracted, check the angle reading via the JLG Analyzer software or the platform LCD diagnostic menu. It should read 0 degrees plus or minus the tolerance in the service manual. If it does not, recalibrate the inclinometer using the EZcal procedure in the ADE setup menu before condemning the sensor.
Step 7. If sensor readings look correct and the fault persists, use JLG Analyzer software to run the capacity sensor calibration routine. This procedure re-establishes the load cell zero baseline and the capacity envelope parameters in the ADE controller. This step requires JLG Analyzer software and your service manual's calibration sequence. If you do not have the software, this is the point to call an authorized JLG service shop.
Step 8. If the fault clears after calibration but returns within a few cycles, suspect a damaged load cell under its mounting flange or a cracked cell body. Replace the load cell, perform the full EZcal calibration sequence, and verify the fault does not return through a full range-of-motion test at rated load.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does JLG code 6058-14 mean?
It means the ADE controller has cut out the lift-up function because the combination of weight on the platform and the current boom angle and extension length exceeds the machine's rated capacity envelope. The ADE tracks both load and geometry together, and when the calculated load moment gets too high, it blocks lift-up to prevent a tip-over condition.
Can I still operate the machine with code 6058-14 active?
Partially. Lift-up is disabled, but you may still be able to lower the boom, retract the telescope, or swing, depending on how those motions affect the load moment. Ground controls may allow limited recovery movement. You should not try to defeat or bypass the lockout. Get the load within limits or diagnose the sensor fault before continuing work.
How much does it cost to fix code 6058-14?
If the machine was simply overloaded, there is no repair cost. If a load cell or angle sensor has failed, parts typically run $150-$600 depending on the component, plus $200-$600 in shop labor for diagnosis and the required EZcal calibration. A wiring repair is usually on the lower end of that range.
Will the boom lift again after I remove the load?
Yes, if the fault was caused by a genuine overload. Retract the boom, lower it to a safe angle, remove excess weight from the platform, and the ADE controller should clear the 6058-14 fault automatically once the load moment drops below the cutout threshold. If the fault stays active on an empty platform, you have a sensor or calibration problem that needs to be corrected before putting the machine back in service.
