Discussion:
Not Starting ...

hi Guys. Greetings from this side.
I have a hyster H5.0ft diesel forklift with serial number (P005B03724J).
this forklift was faulty with the electric nozzles not supplying gas to the engine and we changed it. also, changed the rotary pump , crankshaft sensor and the RPM sensor too. this forklift started working fine but for just a week.
it stopped and started showing few error codes.....2000-12, 97-3..........its a H5.0FT hyster diesel forklift and it was recently changed of its electric injector nozzles and this truck worked for 7 days and stopped. right now this forklift is not starting there is no current going to the electric nozzles anymore. checked for voltage but none, even the heater plug has no current. it just cranks on and on and runs down the battery.
pls i'd like assistance to this issue as i've concluded that it might be ECU that is faulty. your help will be highly appreciated.... here are my emails if you might want to send on there.
thanks in advance...

Hola, a mi me pasó igual en una carretilla hyster s120ft con motor GM 4.3L LPG. El código de error 2000-12 es una falla de comunicación entre la VSM y la ECU. Lo que hize fue desarmar el conector de la ecu y empezar a revisar los cables del can bus cada vez que los movía se quitaba la falla por ahora asegure cada línea de can bus con unos clips, pero lo ideal es cambiar el arnés

Northstar,

Hope you have the lift repaired by now. If not here are some things that may help. The first code 2000-12 is a communication error. You will need to check all connectors on the lift here you have done repairs. A loose connections, connector not locked or possible wire in a connector is not locked and being pushed out. This could even be a bad ECM or other electrical device. The other code, 97-3 does not show up. 96-3 is fuel level sensor issue. Good Luck
