Fendt 9.1.A0 – A002 - ECU, enhanced control: ECU, enhanced control — EEPROM fault while storing.
Issue description
The internal EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) within the enhanced control unit has failed during a data storage operation. As a result, set values for the enhanced controls (such as spool valve settings, transmission rapid reversing ramp parameters, or linkage settings) are not saved when the tractor is turned off or adjusted.

Check the cause
Check voltage supply and ground connections to the A002 ECU, including the CAN-Bus voltage supply on fuse board A013 (specifically fuses F040 and F041), as a voltage drop during a write cycle can cause an EEPROM storing fault.
Check for accompanying CAN bus communication codes (e.g., 0.0.11, 0.0.15, 0.0.16) which might indicate a broader wiring harness or voltage issue rather than an internal ECU failure.
Connect the FENDIAS diagnostic tool and attempt an End-of-Line (EOL) reprogramming or load a new data record to the A002 ECU to determine if it is a software glitch.
Repair steps
Power Down
Turn off the tractor and disconnect the battery to prevent electrical spikes.
Access the ECU
Locate the A002 ECU in the cab (usually on the right mudguard). Remove the interior trim panel to expose the electronics box.
Disconnect
Carefully unplug the main wiring harness connectors (e.g., separation point X031) from the A002 ECU.
Remove and Replace
Unbolt the defective A002 ECU from its mounting bracket and install the replacement unit.
Reconnect and Reassemble
Plug the wiring harnesses back in securely and reinstall the cab trim panel.
EOL Programming
Connect the FENDIAS diagnostic laptop and perform End-of-Line (EOL) programming to pair the ECU with the tractor, calibrate the transmission ranges, and register the hydraulic spool valves.
Parts you might need

Specific OEM part numbers vary heavily by the exact chassis number and generation. Older units used a replaceable EPROM chip, while newer units (from chassis ../8001 upwards) are flash-programmable. Used ECUs will require wiping and EOL reprogramming by a dealer.
