Description:

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC), SSU 001504.31, is triggered when the AutoSteer function is activated, and no operator is detected on the seat for longer than 2 seconds.

Replace Faulty Components:

  • If the operator presence switch or related components are found to be defective, replace them with new, genuine parts.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the error persists after performing the above steps, consult technical support or the manufacturer for further assistance.

Note:

  • Regular maintenance and inspection of the operator presence detection system can help prevent invalid signals.
  • Ensuring the operator presence switch is functioning correctly is crucial for the safe operation of AutoSteer.
