Check the cause
Use the tractor's A008 terminal (Variotronic Ti) to access the Diagnostics Menu and check the target value for the transmission ratio from the A034 joystick to see if the system is registering physical inputs.
Connect the FENDIAS service diagnostics program to check the A034 driving switch for initialization errors in reading the EEPROM.
Verify the physical wiring and voltage supply for the CAN bus, specifically checking the power supply for the joystick CAN bus located on printed circuit board A013.
Repair steps
Connect diagnostic tool
Connect the tractor to the FENDIAS diagnostic tool.
Navigate to programming module
Navigate to the programming module for the A034 component.
Run EOL programming
Run new EOL (End-Of-Line) programming for the A034 joystick to rewrite the routing and filter data.
Cycle ignition
Cycle the ignition OFF and then ON.
Replace joystick
If the error re-occurs after a successful EOL reprogramming, the internal memory/EEPROM of the joystick has likely failed, and the A034 joystick assembly must be physically replaced.
