Discussion:
Brake Engaging

TS serial#1A170580.
When I move forward and turn the steering control completely clockwise(turning right) the left side traction motor brake engages and releases when I turn the control slightly in the opposite direction. This doesn't happen going in the opposite direction or in reverse in either direction.
I am not getting a "wrench" light when this happens. I hooked up the service terminal and not getting any codes/service errors. I put new speed sensors on (and adjusted) and am still getting the same issue. I haven't worked on these machines much at all so any and all help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
