Check the cause

  1. Enter diagnostic mode via the tractor's control panel to verify if the code is active or stored.

  2. Save the current error log, and then clear the fault codes.

  3. Restart the Engine ECU (turn the machine off and back on).

  4. Operate the tractor through a standard drive cycle to see if the fault code triggers again.

Repair steps

  1. Visual Inspection

    Inspect the Air Throttle Valve 1 assembly and its wiring harness for any physical defects, damage, or loose connections.

  2. Component Testing

    Swap the current throttle valve with a known-good test throttle valve to verify operation.

  3. Replacement

    If the system operates normally without throwing the calibration error using the test valve, the original throttle valve's internal position sensor has failed. Replace the Air Throttle Valve assembly. (Note: The position sensor is typically integrated into the throttle valve assembly and not serviced separately).
