Error code C3 on a Toyota branded Raymond orderpicker

I am getting a C3 code on the above equipment. I can force the code by steering beyond limits to the right and left. When moving, the steering 'wobbles' and seems slow to respond. While moving, code C3 is often thrown with no discernible cause. Visual inspection of the three sensors reveals no faulty operation (they all become 'brighter' with the close proximity of metal). Any help appreciated

Is the steer motor mounted tightly? If i'm guessing the model correctly there are three bolts that hold the steer motor on, and they can snap. Also, check that the steer motor gear ios properly attached.
After that, when you jack the unit up how 'sloppy' is the main bearing that the drive unit mounts into. this can wear badly until the unit will not turn. Check these bolts (three again) and make sure tha the drive unit is tight with the frame.
