Code 2H and hard slow down while turning

I have a 540 picker that's gives a code 2H at times and when you go to turn as you steer it is not a gradual slow down it like as hard slow any one have any ideas. I have already replaced the drive motor speed sensor on this unit and dead man switches

Sorry for the real late response. I did figure it out. I replaced the wire harness for the speed sensor and all is working great now.

Are you getting a 2H code when it does this?

Depending on what motor you have it may be in the encoder bearing or speed sensor mine was the lower harness going to the sensor from the amplifier

I am having the same issue with my 550 picker. You'll have full throttle until you get to a certain point in the steering and it seems like it binds up. as you straighten the wheel back out it jerks and gos back to full throttle.

Have you figured out what the issue was?
