Yes it is and when ignition is turned on all lights are on also the display screen is showing everything on screen. With the warning alarm also the side panel, all lights are illuminated as well. Engine starts well but the lights on the monitor remains the same with the alarm

Good day Kio
The issue with the display appears to be common in the UK, in fact a couple of guys are making a business to repair the device. I need to research a little more before making any suggestions.
Kind regards

I have had the same fault recently on my 2006 JCB JZ140 all the lights illuminated and the engine shut its self down. I cleaned all the earths, the main one from the battery to frame + there is an earth connection in the battery compartment for the wiring loom this is on a small bolt beneath the battery isolator solenoid (at least thats what I think it is). this solenoid is situated underneath the rectangular steel cover above and to the right of the batteries. I also found two fuses inside the cover cable tied to the frame, one of mine had been hot of corroded and when I touched it the wire fell off, so I repaired it. I also found the fuses for the ECU were corroded (white deposits on the blades) so I removed them cleaned the fuse recepticals, vaselined them and fitted 4 new fuses, this cured my problem. the fuses are located behind the seat under the storage bin( I removed the bin to gain better access) hope this helps
