Forklift only goes slow

When the accelerator is pressed the forklift moves but the drive tire on the left side is dragging. It is also showing code 079. I can see both brake discs turning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I blocked the forklift up off the drive wheels and when the accelerator is pressed the right tire goes normal speed but the left tire barely moves. Thank you for any help.
