Not sure on the model number but by the operator's manual I found online, the code coincides with this model. The serial number of the machine is 91043337. That was the only number on the capacity plate.

I'm getting a code "027 STEER ANGLE" when I start up the machine. The steering looks for center and faults. I see that the unit has a proximity sensor on the drive housing. Its LED is not lit no matter what I do (even took it out, started the machine and moved a screwdriver in front of it. No reaction). I traced the harness back to the computer under the dashboard. All 3 wires tested good. I'm pretty sure the proximity sensor is dead.

Anyone have a manual or a better explanation of the code than what I have found in the operator's manual?

Also, the sticker was ripped off the proximity sensor. I can usually order these locally if I had the specs (NPN or PNP, voltage, etc) or if someone has the part number for it that would be awesome.

Thanks!
