Fault Code -04

This forklift just stopped moving, no fwd, no reverse, just the backup alarm. Still have hydraulics and steering.

The only fault code showing is a -04 with a green light on the little wrench on the display.

Before I start just blindly tearing into stuff, can anyone tell me:
1. What this code means
2. Why it's not listed in any manuals, books, or forums I've searched so far?

In one book with a fault list it jumps from -03 to -05. Almost suspicious, you might say.

Thanks in advance

Thanks everybody for the input.

So it turned out the operator brake pedal switch was stuck open. Stopped all voltage except for the horn in it's tracks.

Hello, I will transcribe what I have of information to you.

This status code is displayed when voltage at TB11-2 is less than 60% of battery volts initial start-up
Direccion control not in neutral at power up. Request traction
- Use proper sequebce for operating controls

It should be checked if any of the forward or reverse gear microswitches are not activated.

saludos
