Fendt A.1.CC – A002 / A034: CAN communication fault ECU and joystick
Issue description
The CAN connection between the E-Box (ECU, enhanced control) and the CAN joystick is faulty. This results in limited valve operation (or limited operation of electric valves/crossgate lever).

Check the cause
Inspect the wiring harness and connectors for the CAN bus connection between the A002 (ECU, enhanced control) and the A034 (Joystick) for discontinuities, corrosion, or shorts.
Verify the voltage supply for the CAN Bus on the A013 printed circuit board and check fuses F039, F040, F041, F046, and F047.
Use the Variotronic Ti terminal (A008) to access Diagnostics Menu 1 and check the 'IDEAL' target value for the transmission ratio coming from the A034 joystick to see if any signal is being registered.
Repair steps
Resolve Physical Connection Issues
If the diagnostic checks reveal a broken wire, damaged connector, or blown fuse on the A013 board, repair the harness or replace the fuse.
Component Replacement
If the wiring is intact but communication cannot be established, the A034 Joystick or the A002 ECU may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to be replaced.
EOL Programming
Run new EOL programming (End-Of-Line programming) using the FENDIAS diagnostic software and an AGCO 2x4 CANUSB diagnostic scanner to re-pair the modules and configure the valves on the network.
