2004 Cat P5000 Stalling when rolling in neutral Code F99

2004 Cat P5000 Ser#AT3500810 5000#
Forklift starts and runs fine unless i am on an incline or put it in neutral and allow it to roll at which point it will turn on triangular warning light and shut off. Then when i come to a stop it can be restarted again without any problem.Trouble code F-99 (Direction code according to user manual on machine)
Anyone have info on why it does this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

back early on in this trucks development mcfa came out with a transmission update that required the installation of a wireharness and software update that requred the truck to sense movement if in neutral or off the operator seat. It was designed to sense the unintended movement of the truck in such cases and force the truck to shut down for safety purposes to prevent the unintentional rolloff scenario that could be caused if the truck was left running unattended without the parking brake set holding the truck in place.

this is a normal operation of the truck
The code F99 is displayed on the dash if the DCM observes this scenario and shuts the truck down. The Key will have to be recycled to restart the truck.
