Stuck on the Field with a Fendt Vario Showing an Engine Error?
Do you wait for a technician or risk losing hours of harvest?
This case study shows how a workshop used Jaltest INFO Web, a technical information platform for agricultural machinery, to quickly identify and solve a complex issue. Thanks to this approach, diagnostics and repairs become fast, accurate, and cost-effective, even on sophisticated electronic systems.
Context and Technical Challenge
The Fendt Vario displayed an alert on its hydraulic and electronic system.
- Repair time: ~45 minutes
- Difficulty level: Medium, due to interconnected hydraulic and electronic circuits
- Challenge: Diagnose the exact component without unnecessary disassembly to reduce downtime and costs
Tools and Preparation
For this diagnostic, the workshop used:
- Jaltest INFO Web: access to mechanical and electrical diagrams, plus repair guides
- Standard tools: multimeter, wrenches, test clamps
- Target parts: hydraulic pressure sensors and relays identified by the fault code
💡 Tip: Jaltest provides alternative procedures and detailed instructions to avoid handling errors
Diagnostic and Repair Steps
1️⃣ Read the fault code: The module identified a faulty hydraulic pressure sensor
2️⃣ Analyze Jaltest INFO Web diagrams: Precisely locate the component and the associated circuit

3️⃣ Physical verification: Check connectors and measure electrical values
4️⃣ Targeted replacement: Change the sensor without interfering with other parts
5️⃣ Validation: Clear the fault code and test the tractor under real conditions
Key Takeaways
- Time saved: Less than an hour for a complex issue
- Cost reduction: Replace only the faulty component
- Clear documentation: All steps recorded in Jaltest INFO Web for long-term follow-up
Variants and Practical Tips
This methodology works for other agricultural machines (John Deere, Case IH) with their specific Jaltest AGV modules.
Approach:
- Precise diagnosis → 2. Targeted action → 3. Validation
This standardizes repairs and avoids prolonged downtime.
Conclusion
With Jaltest INFO Web, diagnosing and repairing agricultural machines becomes simple and effective.
A Fendt Vario breakdown is no longer an obstacle: thanks to detailed diagrams and interactive guides, even complex electronic issues can be resolved quickly, safely, and with professional follow-up.
