Watch the video posted above about swapping the pins, it works and takes 5 minutes. Thank you

This error occured on my MMU2S after cca 2 years of printing, it was coming back even after separating the two cables and cleaning the contacts. Just came across this "hack" and I'm dropping it here for future fellow-sufferers:https://youtu.be/JAWqIH_U66s?si=LUZmsJ8fk_z3WLc2&t=1136

I get the MMU MCU Error #04306. It occures frequently after update to last revision of MMU firmware (MMU2S). I see that I have to fidle around with some wires but is that real. Nothing had changend in the hardware only the firmware was updated. Is there a fix on the way or do I have to live with that. It is a bit annoying, by the best.
Now I am told I have to upgrade to MMU3 because of firmware not working. Curious.

Hi! There is no fix on the way. It is a hardware issue. MMU3 upgrade solves it. Prusa used to offer a free MMU3 upgrade voucher to the users having this issue persisting, till the end of the last year. You can try to reach out to the support to see if they might somehow help you - but fidding with the cable usually is not a proper long-term solution.

Same error here. Separating the cables as shown above solved the problem. I'm a bit frustrated that this error occurred after a firmware update and you need to dig into the comments section to find out that it is an known issue. Would be nice to highlight this directly in the help article. Would have saved me a lot of time figuring out what's going on.

Hi! This might work because you "refreshed" the loose connection in the cables by moving them. This is probably not a good long-term solution though. In case the MCU error comes back, try to clean the connectors. If nothing helps to get rid of the issue entirely, contact support. They might be able to provide you with a MMU3 upgrade voucher till the end of this year.

Could be, but i have been successfully printing for 2 days without issue.  I had wiggled / adjusted the two connectors prior to seperating the wires and still encountered the issue - IIRC.BTW, the latest MMU2 firmware is awesome.  I had all sorts of issues with my MMU2s with the old firmware.  It worked for a few months, then I encountered all sorts of issue getting filament to load where i mainly encountered the filament grinding at the MMU2.  After the upgrade I have not encountered this issue at all.
