Check the cause
Connect the SERDIA / Fendias diagnostic tool to read the specific KWP sub-code (FC:0018 is associated with this fault)
Inspect the wiring harness between the A051 Engine Control Unit (EDC 7) and the cylinder 1 fuel injector for continuity, short circuits, or cable breaks
Test the cylinder 1 injector valve for electrical faults or mechanical failure (such as chip or solenoid failure)
Repair steps
Disconnect power
Ensure the tractor is turned off and battery power is disconnected if repairing the wiring harness.
Repair wiring harness
If the diagnostic checks reveal a broken wire or short circuit to injector 1, repair or replace the affected section of the engine wiring harness.
Replace fuel injector
If the wiring is intact but the fault persists, remove and replace the faulty cylinder 1 fuel injector.
Reconnect components
Reconnect all components and battery power.
Connect diagnostic tool
Connect the SERDIA diagnostic tool to the tractor.
Clear error code
Clear the original Deutz/Bosch error (FC:0018) from the A051 engine control unit memory. Note: The error must be deleted in the engine control unit following error correction with SERDIA, or the tractor may remain in a restricted operating mode.
