1. 1

   Ensure the engine speed is held steadily at 1500 rpm ± 100 during the calibration phase

2. 2

   Verify that the PowerControl lever is placed in the forward position

3. 3

   Check for other active fault codes (such as T41EB for the Hare/Tortoise range position sensor) that will prevent the controller from completing the calibration curve

1. 1

   Connect diagnostic software

   Connect the AGCO dealer diagnostic software (such as WINTEST or the AGCO Electronic Diagnostic Tool) to the tractor's diagnostic port.

2. 2

   Navigate to calibration menu

   Navigate to the transmission calibration menu (e.g., Dyna-VT or Dyna-6 calibration).

3. 3

   Recalibrate transmission parameters

   Follow the on-screen prompts to recalibrate the transmission parameters, which may include calibrating the forward travel lever, the FingerTIP controls on the armrest, and the joystick.

4. 4

   Reflash or replace controller

   If the calibration repeatedly fails, the Autotronic controller may have faulty programming or an internal RAM/EEPROM error (often accompanied by codes like T41EE or T41FF) and will need to be reflashed or replaced.
