Ahhh the ole code 24

"-24" means there is an open circuit in the main drive circuit when it should be closed (voltage at T2 is less than 88% or something like that).

So basically the question you ask is "is this happening in both directions?"
no one direction only- most likely the F&R contacts have an issue (burnt, welded), less likely but I have run into it: the card has a bad track for a direction (when the contactor won't operate). To determine which is the case an easy test is to swap wires 27 & 23 at PB4 & PB5. This will cause the truck to operate in the opposite direction selected so lift up your drive wheels. If the problem stays in the same wheel direction, the issue is the contactors or the associated wiring. If the problem changes wheel direction, the card is bad. To get the EV100 pin release tool order an A B Y or Z plug kit, they all come with the tool.

Yes the problem is in both directions - Check for an open motor circuit. Check your brushes, connections at the motor, the heavy connections on the control panel (contactors), also a culprit often overlooked is the RB contactor (regen). It must be closed while in normal driving operation. Check it for proper operation and that the tips aren't badly burnt as they do get a walloping.

Those TCMs, aren't they fitted with EVT100 panels (transistorized version of the EV100)? Not that it matters for this code but for others it certainly would.

The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
