Check the cause
Verify if the operator manually interrupted the sequence (e.g., by pressing the clutch pedal or manually shifting), which naturally disconnects the gearbox
Check for related communication codes such as Id78B0h (840) or Id78B2h (842), which indicate a communication loss between the TR2 transmission module and the EXT external function module
Inspect the connectors and continuity of the wiring harnesses linking the TR2 (A57-2) module and the EXT (A62) module
Check the Powertrain CAN bus and the CLAAS vehicle CAN bus networks for short-circuits or open circuits
Check the energy sources (fuses, power supply voltage, and ground) to the TR2 module
Repair steps
Relaunch the Sequence
Wait for the sequence to be relaunched. Clear the code and attempt to run the CSM sequence again. If it operates normally, the fault was a temporary operational abort.
Inspect the TR2 Module Connectors
Locate the TR2 (A57-2) module behind the driver's seat. Disconnect the 42-pin connector and inspect for bent pins, corrosion, or moisture. Clean and reseat the connector.
Test CAN Communication
Perform a continuity test on the CAN bus lines between the TR2 module and the EXT (A62) external function module. Repair any damaged wiring or replace faulty CAN bus resistors.
Module Replacement
If the wiring is intact and communication lines are verified, but the TR2 module continues to drop communication or fail, the TR2 'Auto 5' module itself may be defective. Replace the module and use the CLAAS Diagnostic System (CDS) to reprogram and calibrate the new unit.
