Massey Ferguson T41DC – Transmission Control Unit (Autotronic 4 or Autotronic 5): Calibration error
Issue description
The transmission calibration process has failed, was interrupted, or the transmission controller has lost its calibration parameters.
Applies to these machines
3 machines- Massey Ferguson 8600 Series
- MF 8670
- MF 8690
Check the cause
Ensure the engine speed is set and maintained at exactly 1500 rpm ± 100
Ensure the PowerControl lever is kept in the forward position
Check for any other active transmission sensor faults (such as range position sensors or clutch solenoid faults) that might be preventing a successful calibration
Repair steps
Warm up transmission fluid
Bring the tractor's transmission fluid up to normal operating temperature.
Set engine RPM
Set the engine RPM to 1500 ± 100.
Position PowerControl lever
Move the PowerControl lever to the forward position.
Initiate calibration
Initiate the transmission calibration phase via the DOT MATRIX display on the instrument cluster or by using the AGCO WINTEST diagnostic software tool.
Allow calibration cycle
Allow the Autotronic controller to cycle through the clutch fill and pressure calibrations.
Contact dealer for reprogramming
If the calibration repeatedly fails and throws T41DC, the Autotronic controller may require a software re-flash or reprogramming by an authorized dealer using the AGCO diagnostic tool.
