Fendt A.1.85 – Enhanced Control ECU (A002): Short circuit in the voltage supply for the steering angle sensor and pressure switch.
Issue description
Indicates a short circuit in the shared voltage supply affecting the B094 steering angle sensor and S088 Auto-Guide pressure switch. When this fault is active, the 4WD and differential lock auto systems will become inoperable.

Check the cause
Review electrical wiring diagram Sheet 39 (and Sheet 33 for B094 ground/signal lines) to map the voltage supply for the B094 and S088 components.
Inspect the wiring harness routing to the front axle (B094) and Auto-Guide valve block (S088) for chafed insulation, pinched wires, or melted conduit.
Disconnect the B094 sensor and the S088 pressure switch one at a time to see if the short circuit clears, isolating an internally shorted component.
Repair steps
Disconnect Battery
Always disconnect the tractor's battery before repairing electrical shorts to prevent ECU damage.
Repair Wiring
If the diagnostic checks revealed damaged wiring on Sheet 39's voltage supply circuit, cut out the damaged section and solder/heat-shrink new wiring, or replace that section of the harness.
Replace Faulty Components
If the wiring is intact but the B094 sensor or S088 switch is internally shorted, remove and replace the faulty component.
Calibrate the Steering Angle Sensor
If the B094 steering angle sensor is replaced or its mounting is disturbed, you must perform a calibration. The Auto-Guide system will not track a straight line if the B094 center position and steering angles are not precisely calibrated in the terminal.
Clear Codes
Reconnect the battery, turn the ignition on, and use the tractor's terminal or FENDIAS diagnostic software to clear the stored A.1.85 fault code.
