Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control software detects that the forward, reverse, or not-neutral switch is active during start-up. This can indicate an operator error where the reverse drive lever is not in the neutral position during start-up.

Reaction:

The control software informs the operator that the reverse drive lever is not in the neutral position during start-up. This may prevent the vehicle from starting until the lever is correctly positioned.

Recommendations:

• Check Reverse Drive Lever Position: Ensure that the reverse drive lever is in the neutral position before attempting to start the vehicle.
• Operator Training: Train operators to verify the lever position as part of the start-up procedure.
• Inspect Switches: Check the forward, reverse, and not-neutral switches for proper operation and replace any that are faulty.
• Review Control Software Settings: Ensure the control software settings accurately detect the lever positions.
• Consult Technical Support: If the issue persists, contact John Deere technical support for further diagnostics and assistance.

Note:

Correct positioning of the reverse drive lever during start-up is crucial to avoid operational errors and ensure safe vehicle operation. Regular checks and operator training can help prevent such issues.
