1.2.B2

Fendt 1.2.B2 – EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) module (A021): A020 - Pump control unit (injection pump) (EDC) — Fault identified during self-diagnostic test

Issue description

The internal self-diagnostic routine of the injection pump's electronic control unit has detected an internal failure (often a RAM/ROM or processing fault). When this fault is triggered, the tractor's system automatically defaults to a "Restricted Power" or "Reduced Power" limp mode to protect the engine.

Check the cause

  1. Check the power supply and ground connections to the A020 Pump Control Unit. The EDC control unit (A021) controls relays K020 and K021 to supply voltage (UB30) to the pump. Verify these relays are functioning properly.

  2. Inspect the wiring harness and connectors (specifically connector X046 at the pump and X047 at the EDC e-box) for chafing, corrosion, or loose pins.

  3. Check the EDC CAN-BUS communication lines between the engine ECU and the injection pump.

  4. Check for related fault codes. For example, code 1.2.B3 indicates a power supply failure to the pump, and 1.2.B4 indicates a CAN message failure.

  5. Verify that the fuel temperature is not excessively high, as overheating can cause the pump electronics to malfunction or log errors.

Repair steps

  1. Disconnect battery

    Disconnect the tractor's battery before beginning any electrical work.

  2. Access injection pump

    Open the left side of the bonnet to access the Bosch VP44 injection pump (A020).

  3. Test electrical components

    Test the wiring harness, relays (K020/K021), and power supply.

  4. Diagnose internal fault

    If the wiring and power supply are confirmed to be in good working order, the fault lies internally within the A020 Pump Control Unit itself.

  5. Note on field repair

    Because the A020 control unit is integrated into the Bosch VP44 injection pump and calibrated to its internal mechanical components, field repair of the module alone is not possible.

  6. Remove injection pump

    Remove the Bosch VP44 injection pump assembly from the engine.

  7. Remanufacture or replace pump

    Send the injection pump to an authorized Bosch diesel service center for remanufacturing, or replace it with a new/remanufactured unit.

  8. Install and clear codes

    Install the replacement injection pump, bleed the fuel system, and clear the fault codes using the FENDIAS diagnostic software.
