  • Tier 4 (2015-2021)

Check the cause

  1. Verify battery voltage is within normal operating range (12V-14V) and check for related voltage codes (e.g., T130 - Transmission Module Low Supply Voltage)

  2. Inspect the wiring harness and connectors going to the Autotronic transmission controller for moisture, corrosion, or loose pins

  3. Check if the Dash module is logging any CAN BUS communication errors from the transmission module

  4. Clear the fault codes and perform a key cycle (hard reset) to see if the software error was a momentary glitch

Repair steps

  1. Software Re-flash

    If the code remains active after a reset and voltage checks pass, connect the Massey Ferguson Electronic Diagnostic Tool (EDT). Attempt to re-flash or update the software on the Autotronic Transmission Controller.

  2. Module Replacement

    If the controller will not accept the software update, or if the internal memory (EEPROM) is permanently corrupted, the Autotronic unit must be replaced.

  3. Programming

    A new Autotronic controller must be programmed using an Autotronic conversion programming kit or dealer software to match the tractor's specific transmission type (Dyna-4, Dyna-6, or Dyna-VT).

  4. Calibration

    After installation and programming, perform a full transmission and pedal calibration.

Parts you might need

  • Autotronic 5 Transmission Controller / Calculator

    4301386M94

    Ensure you are ordering the correct module for your specific CAN setup (e.g., Single CAN vs. Dual CAN) and transmission type (Dyna-4/6/VT). The module will require dealer-level programming prior to operation.
