Check the cause
Check the 'Automatic function STOP' button on the joystick for sticking, physical breakage, or debris.
Connect the FENDIAS diagnostic program and check the live readings for the A034 drive switch to see if the button press is registering.
Consult the tractor's specific wiring diagram (often Sheet 26 or 29) to verify CAN bus continuity and power supply to the A034 joystick.
Verify if there are accompanying initialization or checksum errors (such as F.1.B0 or F.1.F0) indicating corrupted internal memory in the joystick.
Repair steps
Resolve Wiring Issues
If the diagnostic checks reveal a CAN bus communication error, repair the damaged wiring harness between the Enhanced Control ECU and the A034 joystick.
Repair or Replace the Joystick
If the wiring is intact but the button signal is dead, the internal switch or the joystick circuit board has failed. You must either install a replacement button/repair kit or replace the entire A034 joystick assembly.
EOL Programming
Whether you repair the joystick's internal board or install a brand new A034 joystick, you must run a new EOL (End of Line) programming sequence for the A034 joystick using the FENDIAS diagnostic software. The tractor will not recognize the repaired/new joystick properly without this initialization.
