Fendt 1.2.0E – A051 - ECU, Engine Control Unit (EDC 7): B090 - Sensor, oil pressure

Issue description

Cable break in the wiring, a short circuit, or that the engine oil pressure is outside of the set-point range (too low or an implausible value).

Check the cause

  1. Verify actual engine oil pressure using a mechanical gauge or diagnostic software. If the mechanical pressure is actually low (below 0.9 bar at 800 rpm, 1.5 bar at 1300 rpm, or 2.0 bar at 1900 rpm), this indicates an internal engine lubrication issue rather than a sensor fault.

  2. Inspect the wiring harness at separation point X1659 (the connector for the B090 sensor) for breaks, corrosion, or short circuits.

  3. Test the sensor supply and signal voltages on the 4-pin connector (Pin 1: +5.0 VDC supply, Pin 2: Signal, Pin 4: Ground).

Repair steps

  1. Locate the Sensor

    The B090 oil pressure sensor is located on the right side of the engine, typically on the bottom left of the oil filter housing. You may need to open the bonnet and remove a metal side panel to access it.

  2. Disconnect the Battery

    Always disconnect the battery before servicing engine management sensors.

  3. Remove the Sensor

    Disconnect the wiring harness at separation point X1659. Unscrew the faulty B090 sensor from the oil filter housing. Have a rag ready, as a small amount of oil may weep from the port.

  4. Install the New Sensor

    Thread the new sensor into the housing. (Do not over-tighten; use moderate torque and an oil-compatible thread sealant if the new sensor does not come pre-coated).

  5. Reconnect and Reassemble

    Reconnect the X1659 wiring harness plug and reinstall any metal panels that were removed.

  6. Clear Fault Codes

    Connect the SERDIA or FENDIAS diagnostic tool and delete the stored error codes (associated sub-codes for this fault are FC: 00C4, 00C5, 00C6, 00C7).

  7. Test

    Start the tractor and verify that the oil pressure warning is gone and that the ECU is registering the correct pressure at idle and high RPM.
