Description:

This information for the operator (DTC) UIC 523960.31 is triggered if a direction of travel has been activated without any valid signal indicating that the operator is present (operator on seat, clutch, or brake pedals depressed).

Reaction:

When this informational code is triggered, it serves as a warning to the operator that the travel speed is preselected without a valid signal indicating operator presence, potentially preventing the tractor from moving.

Recommendations:

• Verify Operator Presence Sensors:
  • Check the sensors for operator presence (seat switch, clutch pedal switch, brake pedal switch) to ensure they are functioning correctly.
  • Test each sensor to confirm it sends a valid signal when the operator is present.
• Inspect Signal Connections:
  • Ensure that all wiring and connectors related to the operator presence detection system are secure and free from damage or corrosion.
• Educate Operator:
  • Inform the operator about the requirement to have a valid presence signal when activating a direction of travel.
• Check Lever Mechanism:
  • Verify that the direction of travel lever mechanism is functioning correctly and is able to move smoothly between positions.

Note:

This code is primarily informational and serves to alert the operator of a potential safety concern. Regular checks of the operator presence detection system can help prevent such alerts.
