EFG430 err 006 question

Hello, I have a EFG430 forklift and it sometimes shows a err006 code when pressing accelerator pedal. We turn the ignition key OFF and back ON to reset this error. This error seems to come up pretty randomly although there is a perception that it is aggravated in cold weather.
This fork lift has only 300 hours on it but we have discovered that on one of the battery cells the filling tube was not punched and was being bypassed during filling process. It ran with low electrolyte level for long time. We have corrected this problem and watching how the battery behaves.

Can anyone provide any information about this 006 error?

Thank you

Error 006 says wire breakage to or bad travel switch. I think that is the throttle petal switch.
