Overview
The ZF 6041.232.564 ELECTRON.MODULE is a critical electronic control unit designed specifically for the WG 201 Series powershift transmissions. This OEM genuine part manages shift timing, clutch modulation, and diagnostic communication between the transmission and the vehicle’s electronic system. Positioned within the valve body assembly, the module interprets input signals to ensure precise gear engagement and smooth power delivery. The SKU 6041.232.564 is factory-calibrated for direct replacement, eliminating the need for post-installation programming in most applications.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic shifting or delayed engagement – A failing module often causes the transmission to hesitate before engaging gears, especially during cold starts or under load.
- Intermittent loss of communication – The vehicle may display warning lights or enter limp-home mode due to corrupted signals from the module to the transmission control unit.
- Harsh or abrupt gear changes – Worn electronics can result in uncommanded shifts or jarring transitions, reducing driveline comfort and component life.
- No electrical response – Complete failure of the module leads to a non-responsive transmission, with no shift solenoid activity or diagnostic codes retrievable via scan tool.

Compatibility
This ZF 6041.232.564 electronic module is engineered for the WG 201 Series, but it also serves as a direct replacement in earlier WG180, WG200, and select WG210 transmissions. It is commonly used in off-highway vehicles, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery where ZF powershift units are standard. Always verify the transmission serial number and housing configuration before installation. For complete assembly integrity, ensure the module is paired with a properly sealed TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4644101160) and the TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4644301323) for WG200 variants. The module’s mounting points require the THREADED BUSH (4644301189) to secure the assembly, while the SCREW PLUG (4475280043) seals the hydraulic test port adjacent to the electronics.
