Check the cause
Locate the S087 left brake wear indicator switch on the left brake assembly
Disconnect the switch and inspect the connector pins for corrosion, moisture, or damage
Measure the signal voltage at Pin 1 and Pin 2 of the harness connector with the key ON
Verify if the signal voltage from the A050 ECU reads approximately 6.0 to 6.1 VDC with the switch open (infinite resistance)
Verify if the signal voltage drops to 0 VDC with the switch closed (approx. 0 ohms resistance)
If voltages are missing or out of range, check for a wiring break or short between the S087 switch and the A050 Basic Control Unit
If voltages at the harness are correct but the fault persists, the switch is internally faulty
Repair steps
Safely secure the tractor
Park on level ground, apply the handbrake, and turn the ignition off.
Access the switch
Locate the left brake wear indicator switch (S087) on the left-hand side of the rear axle/brake housing.
Repair wiring (if applicable)
If the diagnostic test revealed a voltage issue, trace the wiring harness back to the A050 ECU, repairing any chafed wires or broken connections.
Replace the switch (if applicable)
If the switch failed the resistance test, unthread the faulty S087 switch from the brake assembly and install the replacement switch. Reconnect the electrical harness.
Clear the fault code
Turn the ignition on. Use the tractor's Vario terminal to navigate to the fault code menu. Confirm, call up, and delete the stored fault code. (Note: Fault codes must be cleared individually; canceling a code from the main screen only hides it temporarily).
Test
Actuate the brakes and perform a short test drive to ensure the code does not return.
Parts you might need
(1)Left Brake Wear Indicator Switch / Brake Wear Sensor
Exact AGCO/Fendt part numbers for this switch are chassis-specific and must be verified through the AGCO Parts Catalog using the tractor's VIN/serial number. Ensure you are replacing the left switch (S087).
