Still RX 20-16 Weird loss of drive

Still RX 20-16 year 2006.Truck serial 516211003038.
Truck loses drive on left drive motor with out any error code the gear on left side has been taken of and checked no fault there
truck has this strange behaviour if driven straid forward right motor starts immediately when drive pedal is pushed down left motor comes in after the push,got same result by jacking truck up left motor can be run press accelarator down right motor starts running turning the left wheel by hand left motor runs.driving truck and turning steearing wheel fully right creates shaking and bad sound from drive axle ,turning the wheels with power of is smoth on both sides.There is absolutely no error in memory so this should be mechanical fault however motor acts in excatly same manner with left drive gear taken of.is it possible the braking system can have this effect ?.Regards.

Hi.Feitor.I found the problem this morning,what I did was I took left innverter and but it on right side and vise versa and the problem moved over with the inverter over to right side,so this was a faulty inverter.So now we know and this is good to know inverters can fail without give us error code.
Thanks.Kristjan

Hi kristjan.
In my opinion you might have a problem in the encoder bearing of the electric motor.he doesnt send the signal to the controller and no error code is displayed.
It could be to the POT of the steering alignment.
Had a similar problem 2 months ago,replaced this POT and was ok.
This issue could "stuck"the wheel hardly or some times intermitent.
Hope it helps,best regards.
