Toyota 8FGCU25:
Mast will raise and side shift but not will not lower or tilt forward

Hello all, hope someone is able to give some advice with this issue I am having with a forklift that was I recently purchased. This is my first forklift and the issue was known when bought. The check engine light and seat light is on but will still move forward and reverse as well as raise the mast and side shift in both directions. The mast will not lower and when attempting to shift forward, RPMs will raise and struggle then engine will die if lever is held too long

I have checked all fuses, replaced alternator/belt and searched all over the internet for the manual and have not succeeded. I would like to check the codes without a scanner if possible and fix this potentially small issue. I would like to avoid having a technician come out and fix a small problem that I could have repaired easily if thats the case.

Please let me know if there is any other information you need from me to better diagnose.

Remove left hand step, under it you will find a black junction box, most likely water has caused corrosion in there, its a pain to take apart, sometimes cleaning terminals between the white plastic sections will do it if not replace the box

Yes I am. I will send a picture of the dashboard tomorrow when I arrive to the warehouse.

Teemo,
Are you still having this issue?
If so, can you sent me a picture of the dashboard, i think you can access the dashboard with a code and perform diagnostics the easy way.
