Check the cause

  1. Check the CAN Bus power supply voltage and fuse F047 on printed circuit board A013

  2. Inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the A002 ECU and the A034 Drive switch for continuity, shorts to ground, or loose pins

  3. Use the FENDIAS diagnostic program to check the A034 drive switch, read the error counter, and determine if the module has lost its programming (EOL checksum error)

Repair steps

  1. Verify the Fault

    Confirm the presence of fault code B.1.24 on the tractor's terminal. Note that the Teach-in function will be disabled.

  2. Check Fuses

    Locate the A013 fuse board and test fuse F047. Replace the fuse if it is blown.

  3. Inspect Connections

    Disconnect the battery. Inspect the harness connectors at the A034 Drive switch (Joystick) and the A002 ECU. Clean any corrosion and ensure pins are seated tightly.

  4. Test CAN Lines

    Measure the resistance and continuity of the CAN bus lines between the A002 ECU and the A034 Drive switch to rule out a broken wire or short circuit.

  5. Reprogramming

    If the wiring and power supply are intact, the A034 Drive switch or A002 ECU may require new EOL (End of Line) programming via the FENDIAS dealer tool.

  6. Component Replacement

    If EOL programming fails or the hardware is internally shorted, replace the A034 Drive switch or the A002 ECU.

  7. Clear Codes

    Restart the tractor, clear the fault codes from the memory, and test the Variotronic TI (Teach-in) system to ensure normal operation.
