CLAAS Id78A6h / 78A6h – EXT (A62) - External Function Module: The CSM sequence is interrupted. The CSM sequence is interrupted after pressing one of the external commands
Issue description
Fault code Id78A6h indicates an operational interruption rather than a hardware failure. It is logged when an active automated sequence (CLAAS Sequence Management) is canceled because the operator manually pressed an external command button (such as a hydraulic or linkage control on the CMOTION joystick or fenders) while the sequence was running.

Check the cause
Confirm with the operator if they manually pressed an external command button (e.g., spool valve, linkage, or PTO switch) while a headland sequence was actively playing
If the operator did not press a button, check the external command switches (such as fender buttons for PTO/linkage) and the CMOTION joystick buttons for sticking, dirt ingress, or short circuits that might be sending a false interrupt signal
Verify the operation of the S177 'CLAAS Sequence Management' switch on the right-hand console
Repair steps
Clear the Code
Acknowledge and clear the code from the CEBIS or CIS+ display.
Operator Instruction
Instruct the operator to let the CSM sequence finish its recorded steps before manually intervening with external hydraulic or linkage controls.
Restart Sequence
Reactivate the CSM sequence using the F buttons or CMOTION joystick to ensure it completes without interruption.
Harness/Switch Repair
If the sequence continues to interrupt without operator input, use a multimeter to test the continuity of the external command switches and the S177 CSM switch. Clean or replace any sticking switches.
