00.1.A8

Fendt 00.1.A8 – A007 - Instrument panel: B060 - Sensor, compressed air unit pressure

Issue description

The system has detected that the air pressure in the primary braking/supply circuit has dropped below the safe operating threshold (below 4.6 bar), indicating 'Compressed air supply 1, vacuum'. As a safety measure, the 4WD is permanently activated until the next cold start.

Applies to these machines

  • 922 Vario COM III
  • 924 Vario COM III
  • 927 Vario COM III
  • 930 Vario COM III
  • 933 Vario COM III
  • 936 Vario COM III
  • Fendt 300 Vario (COM III)
  • Fendt 400 Vario (COM III)
  • Fendt 700 Vario (COM III, SCR)
  • Fendt 800 Vario (COM III, S4)
  • Fendt 900 Vario (COM III, SCR, S4)

Check the cause

  1. Connect a mechanical test gauge to the 'red' (supply) single-line pneumatic coupling at the rear of the tractor to verify actual pressure.

  2. Compare the mechanical gauge's reading with the bar indicator displayed on the A007 instrument panel.

  3. If the display matches the gauge but pressure is genuinely low (actual pressure fault): Check the entire compressed air system for leaks. If airtight, check the air compressor (a long fill time indicates wear).

  4. If the gauge shows good pressure but the dash shows low/no pressure (sensor/wiring fault): Check the 12V power supply from the A007 instrument panel to the B060 sensor and inspect the wiring harness for a signal fault, short, or open circuit.

Repair steps

  1. Depressurize the System

    Turn off the engine and safely bleed all compressed air from the tractor's air reservoirs to prevent injury.

  2. Locate the Sensor

    Locate the B060 compressed air supply sensor on the air unit valve block.

  3. Disconnect Wiring

    Carefully unplug the electrical connector from the sensor.

  4. Remove the Sensor

    Unscrew the faulty sensor from the pneumatic port.

  5. Install the New Sensor

    Thread the new sensor into the port. (Note: Do not overtighten; these typically use an M12 x 1.5 thread with an integrated seal).

  6. Reconnect and Test

    Reconnect the wiring harness. Start the tractor, allow the air compressor to fill the tanks, and verify that the instrument panel displays the correct pressure (above 4.6 bar) and that the 00.1.A8 fault code clears.

Parts you might need

(1)
  • Compressed Air Supply Sensor (B060)

    Specific Fendt part numbers vary heavily by exact chassis serial number. The standard pneumatic sensor used is a generic M12 x 1.5 Compressed Air Sensor (often manufactured by Wabco or Bosch). Always provide your tractor's chassis number to an AGCO/Fendt dealer.
