Ok thanks for the update. The original fault was they damaged the card at the front between the 2 forks. So they replaced the card off another order Picker which had a shorter mast.
Since then they've had this error so could it be the card needs programming?
It shows the height as 4.7 metres but actually lifts to 7.1 however in the parameter reference it just shows 4.7.
Not sure how to program it, as I've been in tried calibrate with just start.
Yet once second stage mast comes in the faults 293.

I haven't dealt with such old pickers for a long time. Mostly they had problems with the mast cable, but there are backup cores there. According to 293 errors, I think the height sensor was damaged
