Check the cause

  1. Inspect the wiring harness, pins, and connector at External Hydraulic Valve 6 for corrosion, moisture, or damage.

  2. Inspect the physical spool valve for external leaks or mechanical sticking, which can cause the electronic pilot pressure control to throw a fault.

  3. Test the pilot pressure control unit, as it can fail independently of the main slice.

Repair steps

  1. Depressurize the System

    Ensure the tractor is off, implements are lowered, and hydraulic pressure is fully relieved before servicing.

  2. Disconnect Wiring

    Unplug the electrical harness from the affected Electric Spool Slice (Valve 6).

  3. Remove the Valve

    Unbolt the faulty spool slice from the hydraulic valve stack.

  4. Rebuild or Replace

    If the valve is mechanically leaking but electronically sound, install an OEM spool valve repair kit. If the electronic solenoid or internal slice is faulty, replace the entire Electric Spool Slice.

  5. Programming

    If a new Electric Spool Slice is installed, it must be programmed to the tractor using a compatible Massey Ferguson diagnostic tool before it will function correctly.

  6. Clear Codes

    Clear the DTCs from the system and test the hydraulic remote for proper operation.
