Check the cause

  1. Connect the tractor to the FENDIAS diagnostic program and check the A034 drive switch data

  2. Verify the CAN bus power supply to the joystick on circuit board A013 and inspect fuse F047

  3. Use the tractor's terminal (A008) to check the IDEAL / VE / REAL bar indicators to see if joystick inputs (forward/reverse decimal values from +10000 to -10000) are being registered by the transmission control unit

Repair steps

  1. Connect diagnostic tool

    Connect the FENDIAS diagnostic tool to the tractor.

  2. Run EOL programming

    Run new EOL (End of Line) programming specifically for the A034 - joystick.

  3. Clear fault codes

    Clear the fault codes and cycle the ignition.

  4. Test operations

    Test the joystick's forward/reverse and auxiliary valve operations.

  5. Replace joystick if necessary

    If the EOL reprogramming fails to write to the EEPROM or the code immediately returns, the internal memory of the A034 joystick has physically failed, and the joystick assembly must be replaced and subsequently programmed.
