It started while I was operating it in reverse and when I crossed over neutral the parking brake engaged before I got it into forward… (I was actually looking at the dash and saw the light come on at that moment) after that I tried cycling the parking brake and nothing happens? First thought was maybe the switch is bad, replaced it and nothing changed. so I checked the diagnostic codes via the flashing light indicator and I got codes 255 CID 1699 forward/neutral/reverse and 256 CID 1700 position sensor (steering) both of witch are related to the joystick either getting high/low/intermittent voltage. I checked the battery with a multi meter I borrowed from a friend that wasent really for direct current the only DC option was 300V so I wasent able to get an precise voltage reading.. do I need to get the correct multimeter and make sure the battery and alternator are good before I go replacing the joystick with the controller it sets on?? I only see the light for the battery on the dash when the machine is off and I turn the key once, soon as it starts that light goes away so I don’t know if I still need to be concerned with that or not? Lastly if I do have to replace the joystick will I have to calibrate the new one? Cat wants to charge me $800 just to drive out to me so I’m hoping to avoid that if possible!
