A.1.DB

Fendt A.1.DB – Tractor Electronic System / Auxiliary Control Unit: Hydraulic oil tank characteristic implausible

Issue description

The electronic signal coming from the hydraulic oil level sensor (S036 or B084) is out of its expected calibration range, resulting in an incorrect display of the hydraulic oil supply on the tractor's monitor.

Check the cause

  1. Verify the actual physical hydraulic oil level in the tank to ensure it is not completely empty or severely overfilled.

  2. Inspect the wiring harness and connector for the hydraulic oil level sensor (S036 / B084) for breaks or a disconnected plug.

  3. Use the FENDIAS diagnostic tool to check for companion codes (e.g., A.1.D7 for a hard break, A.1.D9 for an empty tank).

Repair steps

  1. Correct Fluid Levels

    Top up or drain the hydraulic oil to the correct specification as outlined in the maintenance schedule.

  2. Repair Wiring

    If diagnostic checks reveal a short or break in the sensor wiring harness, repair the connection.

  3. Replace Sensor

    If the wiring is intact but the signal remains implausible, replace the hydraulic oil level sensor (S036 / B084).

  4. EOL Reprogramming

    Connect the FENDIAS diagnostic laptop and perform an End-of-Line (EOL) programming procedure to recalibrate the tank characteristics to the ECU so it can accurately read the sensor.
