4.1.05

Fendt 4.1.05 – TRANSMISSION control unit: High pressure sensor II (push detection) — Signal fault

Issue description

The transmission control system is receiving an invalid signal or no signal from the secondary high-pressure sensor (B039). This is typically caused by a faulty sensor, a wiring issue (signal fault), or a loss of supply voltage.

Check the cause

  1. Check the supply voltage fuse (e.g., fuse A013, 2, 3, 15, or 31 depending on the specific Vario model and generation)

  2. Test the connector at the sensor to ensure it is receiving the correct supply voltage (either 8.5 VDC or 12 VDC)

  3. Inspect the wiring harness and separation point connector (X177) for breaks, short circuits, corrosion, or loose pins

  4. Test the sensor signal voltage and current draw with the engine running above 1400 rpm (expected values range from 0.80 VDC / 4.0 mADC at 0 bar to 3.00 VDC / 14.8 mADC at 400 bar)

Repair steps

  1. Locate the Sensor

    The B039 High Pressure Sensor II is located on the right side of the transmission, on the valve block.

  2. Gain Access

    To access the valve block, remove the right rear wheel and the right-side metal shielding panels.

  3. Disconnect

    Disconnect the electrical connector (separation point X177) from the B039 sensor.

  4. Remove and Replace

    Unscrew the faulty sensor from the transmission valve block. Install the new sensor and tighten it to the manufacturer's torque specification.

  5. Reassemble

    Reconnect the X177 electrical connector, reinstall the metal panels, and remount the right rear wheel.

  6. Calibrate

    Clear the fault codes from the terminal and carry out a systematic transmission calibration.

Parts you might need

(1)
  • Transmission High Pressure Sensor II (Push Detection) / B039 Sensor

    Order with chassis number, as valve blocks and sensor threads can vary slightly between the ML 130, ML 160, and ML 200 Vario transmission units.
