Description:

This information for the operator (DTC) is generated when a start procedure is attempted while the reverse drive lever is neither in the park lock nor in the neutral position. For a restart, the reverse drive lever must be moved to the neutral position or the corner park lock position.

Reaction:

The engine cannot be started until the reverse drive lever is moved to the neutral or corner park lock position.

Recommendations:

Move Reverse Drive Lever:

• Move the reverse drive lever to the neutral position or the corner park lock position to allow the engine to start.

Inspect Lever Position Sensors:

• Verify the sensors detecting the position of the reverse drive lever are functioning correctly.
• Replace any faulty sensors.

Check Operator Procedures:

• Ensure the operator is aware of the correct procedure for starting the engine, including the position of the reverse drive lever.

Consult Technical Support:

• If the issue persists, consult technical support for further diagnostic procedures.

Note:

Regular checks of the reverse drive lever and associated sensors can help prevent this issue. Proper operator training on the correct procedures for engine start is crucial for smooth operation.
