Hi. Did you trace the thermal circuit wires back to the interface card? For TEST purposes only you can link out the points on the interface card.

Jack up truck and test if both wheels are turning at the same speed. If they are its unlikely both encoders are faulty so that would eliminate that as a possibility.

Also begin with recalibration of foot pedal.

Hi Mr. John,
Checked the sensor bearings, i didn't find any problem on the bearings, even then changed with new bearings. But the problem not yet solved. Machine running on slow speed only.
some time Error 0040 is coming on the dash.

I checked the dashboard, i think you can change the settings on the right side of the dash.
If it drives really slow, more like 1 meter a minut then the sensorbearings good be broken.
