Discussion:
code 51

I have a Hyster E50XM2-33 sn F108V19668X that is giving a code 51. It happens while the hydraulic functions are being used. The thermistor on the line contactor gets hot. All the control fuses are good. Any help will appreciated.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
