Error Code- MT 573 w/Power Shuttle

lbfarmboy · Aug 26, 2020

I am having problems with an error code that will not let me start the tractor. It shows on the dash S100000, FO2. Looked it up in the book and it shows either a neutral/power shuttle sensor error. The tractor was looked at by a dealer and he cleaned contacts on the sensors, cleared the codes and ran the tractor extensively and all was good. Got the tractor back and had no problems, after it sat for two days of no use I went to move the tractor and the error code showed up again not allowing the tractor to start. The next day, I tried again to start the tractor and it started no problem, no codes on the dash.

Has anyone had any experience in a problem such as this? What is hard to understand if the error is pointing to defective sensors why would the problem be intermittent? I cannot get the tractor to the dealer at this time but he advised dielectric grease on the plug in contacts on the sensors in the mean time. I really like this tractor and all the features that it offers and this maybe just a little glitch that needs to be diagnosed. If any owners have had any similar experience please reply to this post.........thanks in advance!

I bought my MT573 in 2017 and have not yet had this specific problem. We were hooking up to a 3 point implement yesterday and using the "creeper" setting. I had to turn the tractor off during the hook-up and when I later started it the tractor would not go forward or backward. After double checking that it was in gear, etc. I called my dealer and explained the problem to him and he said he had not heard of this happening before but he would call the LS service dept. and call me back hopefully with a solution. While waiting for his callback I happened to look down at the creeper handle and saw that it was engaged. I pushed the handle down and, surprise, the tractor functioned correctly. Good luck with finding your problem and I hope the solution is as simple as mine was.
