Massachusetts | I was running my potato harvester today, when the little digital display on the dashboard of my 6480 showed what I guess is an error code. "Er t218." It showed this where the display normally shows direction of travel, gear range, and speed. I don't think I have ever seen it do that before. Anyways, I shut the tractor down, restarted it, and the code was gone. It was back in a minute or two, as I finished for the day. I don't know anything about it, if it is important or not, or anything. Of course it had to happen right after the dealer closed for the day. I thought I might get an answer from the Agco help line, but they only refered me back to my (closed) dealer. Great help line.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I need to use the tractor tomorrow, hopefully before the dealer opens up.
Thanks. |

Boonville, IN | I believe that error 218 is a "short circuit to + 12V on bottom of clutch pedal switch". The error code is a level three which has the lowest priority and the transmission function should remain normal. You can remove the error code from the display be pressing the display change button. |

Dealer said the same thing as you. How did you know, do you have a list of those codes? That would seem like a handy thing to have. |

Boonville, IN | I am a Massey dealer. You could get a list of the codes by ordering a service manual or seeing if your local dealer would print off a few of the pages. If you let me know the serial number, transmission type, front axle suspension yes/no, I could send you a list of the codes. |
