park brake isn't disengaging

I have a J40ZT serial J160N02959D that has started having issues with the auto park either not releasing or completely releasing (the park indicator seems to be working) Moving it 10 or 15 feet causes a hot brake smell.. I do not have the pass code as it was bought recently at auction. Is there anything I can check for (fuses, links, adjustments) before calling a tech out?

Most hyster pass codes are based off vin # last 5 numbers

but on keypad you have 12345
so take 12345
67890

then vin last 5 didgits 02959


Then 0 becomes 5 2 is 2 9 becomes 4 5 is 5 9 becomes 4


so passcode should be 52454 unless someone has changed it.

hope that helps you get into dash.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
