CAN Wiring

I have a question about CAN wiring. First the symptom. Machine powers up normal, and faults when travel is initiated. The electric brake releases and drops out with a "Traction Comm" Fault. No fault stored in the Curtis traction controller.
Instructions say, CAN wiring or fuse. All other functions are good. (Lift/Lower and steering) Continuity tests on CAN wires through the mast from the system controller to the traction controller check good.
Question: Can the CAN wires be subbed out with just regular wires without shielding to test the machine? The replacement harness is rather spendy for a test.

I dont know that answer but l have seen sometimes the 1310 controller go out of program did you try to default the truck and restart through the handle sometimes it just need to be restarted after you default you will have to relearn throttle. Try this first l have seen a lot of glitches when they get old in this machine.
