I don’t know what happened . @Ali Ethiopia hasn’t been of TFF for a long time,
I tried putting him in touch with Diode Don from APH and I think he did speak to Ali.
It's interesting because the Ethiopian TF 78 had the same fault code 1001 as my machine. The engine started but nothing else worked. The gauges messed up. Cleaning the ends of the fibers with isopropanol spray fixed everything. The TF 78 is a good combine, but the farmer needs to familiarize himself with the machine thoroughly. Buy a repair manual online. Error codes help in finding the problem. Keep dry and away from rodents. Clean the connectors with electospray

NH never continued or went any further with the fibre optics they used on the Elektra TF’s.
Diode Don worked out how much it would have cost to convert them back to copper wire, which was quite expensive.
IIRC, Ali thought the problem was caused by the batteries having been connected the wrong way round.
Interesting that you had the same fault , which turned out o be a Fibre optic problem.
I recall having a few similar issues. One I particularly remember was the engine throttle not working and I had to tie it in its flat out position to be able to continue combining. The next day it was all fine again!

the problem these days is finding a chap who is good with electrics i was talking to a neighbour who bought a new sprayer it took two years to sort out the electrics we are in the proces of buying a second hand sprayer and they nearly all need isobus guidance and an air compresor the thought of all that sends shivers up my back
I’m sure APH could decide if they want to charge for their advice over the phone. Main thing is that someone in the clart at a tough time of the year has been given a heads up on how to get sorted.
