Massey Ferguson 00.00.42 – Dash: Service Counter Issue

Indicates that the tractor's internal maintenance counter has reached its programmed limit (such as a 600-hour service interval) or that there is a discrepancy in the maintenance counter memory. If routine maintenance was recently completed, this code means the service alarm/counter was not properly reset in the system.

1. 1

   Verify Engine Hours: Check the current engine hours on the dash and compare them to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule to confirm if a service is genuinely due.

2. 2

   Review Service History: Determine if the required routine maintenance (oil, filters, etc.) was recently performed. If it was, the technician likely forgot to reset the counter.

3. 3

   Check for Accompanying Codes: Ensure there are no other Dash configuration codes present (such as 00.00.43 or 00.00.44 for CAN BUS Message Issues), which might indicate a broader dashboard communication failure rather than a simple service reminder.

1. 1

   Perform Maintenance

   If the tractor is due for service, perform the required routine maintenance (e.g., change engine oil, replace fuel and air filters, grease fittings).

2. 2

   Access the SIS

   Turn on the ignition and access the tractor's Setup & Information Screen (SIS) on the dashboard.

3. 3

   Navigate to Maintenance

   Go to the performance monitor or maintenance menu to view the service clock.

4. 4

   Perform Manual Reset

   Follow the on-screen prompts to acknowledge the service and reset the maintenance counter to zero.

5. 5

   Diagnostic Tool Reset (Alternative)

   If the dash interface does not clear the code, connect a compatible diagnostic tool (such as Jaltest AGV or Massey Ferguson OEM software) to the tractor's diagnostic port.

6. 6

   Reset Control Unit

   Select the Dash/Instrument Cluster module, navigate to the "Maintenance Reset" section, and command a reset of the control unit maintenance counters.

7. 7

   Verify

   Cycle the ignition key and verify that fault code 00.00.42 is cleared and the maintenance alarm is canceled.
