T8 front axle problem

Location
Holderness
Hello,
Anyone have experience of recalibrating a front axle on a T8? We had a leg up because of a front planetary hub failure, the suspension was working prior but now it isn’t. The manual says press the PROG button on the instrumentation, I can’t seem to enter this “suspended front axle screen” to check what’s happening, any pointers would be much appreciated! TIA

Do you have any error codes present?

Part of the Front Suspension setup is in the "Trans Setup Menu" and it is only visible with an EST plugged in

Hello, I have two warnings flashing but I haven’t identified codes yet, I don’t normally drive this tractor but it looks like it’s down to me for the rest of the season. The two warnings are a fuel sender and front suspension. The complication is it’s actually in France and there don’t seem to be many T8’s around here. I guess I need to ask the agemt to send someone with a “EST”?
Many thanks

Hello, is this a physical check or through the control system? It’s strange it was working before we had it jacked up. TIA

pysical check If it was working before being jacked up and you have an error code for the suspension i would have abit look around an try see that there isnt a sensor thats unplugged or a wire been pinched somewhere

You might be easier getting a laptop plugged into it i dont think on the older ones it gives readouts for all the suspension sensors unless its a tier 5 (new style cab layout) then a laptops prob by far the easiest solution

it is the same as a Case Magnum of that era MX285 etc so fault codes should be the same and a Case dealer should be able to sort it
