I got a ex120-5 a year ago with 11k hours. It ran strong till I parked it for few months. Now everything is slow tracks arm movements. The engine rpm works great. The turtle button never worked it was always one speed. I tried to read the ecu codes manually by connecting 2 top ports from a 4 port diagnostic connector by the fuse box. It blinks 8 times then pause then 9 then 8 then 9 on repeat. What does that mean?

What does perform retrial B mean. Is this the sensor. They are talking about? Because I can’t find angle sensor for 120-5
To do RETRIAL B you must have a tool called Dr.EX or Dr.ZX.
See the attached file for more details.
To buy A sensor (angle sensor), let go to Ebay. :p

According to the photos you provided, your device is for the Japanese domestic market.
I see you registered with the forum as you are in Washington. I didn't know there were Hitachi excavator for the Japanese domestic market in Washington!

T in gauges to the hoses that go to the back of the regulators . Should see pressure increase when moving the controls. If no pressure increases check the solenoids for gumming up inside . Can always bypass the solenoids
