Fendt 04.1.86 – Transmission Control System (A050 or A002 ECU): Plausibility error in both pressure sensors
Issue description
The signals from the two high-pressure sensors in the transmission's high-pressure circuit do not match, or they are being read incorrectly by the control unit.

Check the cause
Check the 8.5V or 12V power supply to the sensors at the A013 fuse board (fuses 3, 10, 15, or 31 depending on model).
Inspect wiring and connectors at separation points X157 (B008 sensor) and X177 (B039 sensor) for corrosion or damage.
Perform a high-pressure test using the Variotronic Ti terminal or a multimeter (approx. 0.8 VDC at 0 bar, 0.94 VDC at 30 bar).
Check transmission temperature via sensor B009 to ensure the transmission is not overheating and skewing pressure readings.
Repair steps
Access the Valve Block
Locate the B008 and B039 high-pressure sensors on the right side of the transmission, directly on the hydraulic valve block.
Remove Obstructions
Safely lift and support the tractor, then remove the right rear wheel and the protective metal side panels.
Disconnect Electrical Connections
Carefully unplug the X157 and X177 connectors from the B008 and B039 sensors.
Remove the Sensors
Unthread the faulty sensors from the hydraulic manifold. Have a catch pan ready for minor hydraulic fluid loss.
Install New Sensors
Lubricate and install a new O-ring upon reinstallation. Thread the new sensors into the ports and tighten to the manufacturer's moderate torque specification (do not over-tighten).
Reassemble and Calibrate
Reconnect the wiring harnesses. Reinstall the metal panels and the right rear wheel.
Clear Codes and Test
Turn the ignition ON, clear the fault codes via the Variotronic Ti terminal, and run a transmission calibration (Note: The B008 sensor must be installed and functioning properly to successfully calibrate the transmission). Check for leaks at idle and high RPM.
