Code GD

Hi eveyone so I have a GD code on a reach truck model 740DR32TT, serial 740-08-FB-12476. I ran the encoder test and it looks good 0-255, I checked prox sensor and it turns on and off. The code comes up once or twice a day, I got on the truck and as I was driving straight, GD pop on the screen and it jerked my steering wheel to the left. Could this be a possible amp going bad?

Thanks Joe I will check on them straps. One more question I am a little bit confused as to which encoder the test is actually testing, is it testing the stiller encoder or the encoder inside the steer gearmotor.

I have found that usualy intermittent GD codes are caused by the steer amp. Also make sure your static straps are clean and in good condition.

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
