Description:

This information for the operator (DTC) is generated when a forward or reverse position has been preselected without a valid signal indicating that the operator is present (e.g., operator on seat, clutch or brake pedals depressed). This serves as a safety precaution to ensure the tractor does not move unintentionally.

Reaction:

The system prevents the tractor from moving until a valid operator presence signal is detected.

Recommendations:

Verify Operator Presence Sensors:

• Check the sensors responsible for detecting operator presence (seat switch, clutch pedal switch, brake pedal switch).
• Replace any faulty sensors to ensure they provide valid signals.

Check Operator Procedures:

• Ensure the operator is aware of the requirement to be present (e.g., seated and engaging the pedals) before selecting forward or reverse positions.

Inspect Wiring and Connections:

• Inspect the wiring and connectors associated with the operator presence sensors for damage or disconnections.
• Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.

Update Control Software:

• Ensure that the control software is up-to-date to handle operator presence signals correctly.

Consult Technical Support:

• If the issue persists, consult technical support for further diagnostic procedures or potential hardware issues.

Note:

Regular inspection and maintenance of the operator presence sensors and associated wiring can prevent issues related to invalid presence signals. Proper operator training on safety procedures is crucial for reliable operation.
