T4108

Massey Ferguson T4108 – Transmission Control Unit (TCU) / Autotronic 4 transmission controller (TRANS): Transmission High/Low Range Position Sensor Issue

Issue description

The code is triggered when the controller detects an 8.5 V supply error to the sensor, a general signal error, or when the sensor's calibration value falls out of the acceptable tolerance range.

Check the cause

  1. Test the power supply circuit to the X17 Hare/Tortoise range position sensor to ensure the controller is supplying exactly 8.5 Volts.

  2. Inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the X17 sensor and the Autotronic 4 transmission controller for chafed wires, shorts to ground, or open circuits.

  3. Verify if the transmission range shift mechanism is physically binding.

  4. Check if the sensor simply needs to be recalibrated via the dealer diagnostic tool due to a calibration error.

Repair steps

  1. Access the Sensor

    Locate the X17 Hare/Tortoise range position sensor on the Dyna VT transmission housing.

  2. Repair Wiring

    If the diagnostic checks revealed a short or break in the 8.5V reference wire or signal wire, repair the harness and clean the connector pins.

  3. Replace the Sensor

    If the wiring is intact and the 8.5V supply is confirmed, but the signal error persists, the X17 sensor itself has failed internally. Remove the mounting hardware, extract the old sensor, and install the new unit.

  4. Recalibrate

    After installing a new sensor, you must perform a transmission calibration procedure using the Massey Ferguson/AGCO diagnostic tool so the Autotronic 4 controller can learn the new sensor's physical end-stops (Hare and Tortoise positions).

  5. Clear Codes

    Clear the T4108 code from the transmission controller and test drive the tractor to ensure smooth shifting between High (Hare) and Low (Tortoise) ranges.

Parts you might need

(1)
  • Hare/Tortoise Range Position Sensor (X17 Sensor)

    Ensure the sensor is specifically for the DYNA VT transmission, as Dyna-4 and Dyna-6 transmissions use different range detection setups.
