15.1.6A

Fendt 15.1.6A – A050 - ECU, basic control unit: Y067 - Lock suspension solenoid valve: Solenoid valve faulty, actuation fault.

Issue description

This indicates an electrical actuation issue (such as an open circuit, short circuit, or failed coil) with the solenoid valve responsible for locking the front axle suspension (often designated as MVFF in hydraulic schematics).

Applies to these machines

  • 922 Vario COM III
  • 924 Vario COM III
  • 927 Vario COM III
  • 930 Vario COM III
  • 933 Vario COM III
  • 936 Vario COM III
  • Fendt 300 Vario (COM III)
  • Fendt 400 Vario (COM III)
  • Fendt 700 Vario (COM III, SCR, S4)
  • Fendt 800 Vario (COM III, SCR, S4)
  • Fendt 900 Vario (COM III, SCR, S4 - including models 922, 924, 927, 930, 933, 936, 939)

Check the cause

  1. Verify that you are testing the suspension lock at speeds below 20 km/h, as the A050 ECU intentionally cuts power to the Y067 valve above this speed

  2. Inspect the wiring harness and connector leading to the Y067 solenoid for chafing, corrosion, or loose pins

  3. Measure the resistance of the Y067 solenoid coil with a multimeter to check for an internal short or open circuit

  4. Back-probe the connector to verify that the A050 ECU is sending the correct voltage to the solenoid when the suspension lock is commanded on

Repair steps

  1. Preparation

    Park the tractor on a level surface, turn off the engine, apply the parking brake, and relieve all hydraulic pressure from the system.

  2. Access the Valve Block

    Unbolt and pull forward the left fuel tank to gain access to the VBF (Valve block, suspension) located on the left side of the tractor.

  3. Locate the Valve

    Identify the Y067 Lock suspension solenoid valve on the VBF block.

  4. Removal

    Disconnect the electrical harness from the solenoid. Carefully unscrew the faulty solenoid valve from the valve block. Have a catch pan ready, as residual hydraulic oil will leak out.

  5. Installation

    Lubricate the O-rings on the new solenoid valve with clean hydraulic oil. Thread it into the valve block and tighten it to the manufacturer's specified torque.

  6. Reassembly

    Reconnect the electrical harness to the new solenoid. Push the left fuel tank back into position and secure its mounting hardware.

  7. Testing

    Start the tractor, check the valve block area for hydraulic leaks, and test the suspension lock function (ensure the tractor is stationary or moving under 20 km/h).

  8. Clear Codes

    Use the tractor's terminal or FENDIAS diagnostic software to clear the 15.1.6A fault code from the A050 ECU memory.

Parts you might need

  • Lock suspension solenoid valve (Y067 / MVFF)

    The exact part number is dependent on the specific chassis number; provide the tractor's chassis number to an AGCO/Fendt dealer to get the exact matching solenoid.
