Driving very slowly

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with a 7FBMF16, when put into drive or reverse it only travels at a snails pace?
The fault was intermittent first of all with no error codes listed on the screen and the driver used to grab the steering wheel and pulled it up and down towards him and the fault went away, so I've checked the connections in the steering column as the toyota engineer suggested but no good, but now the fault is happening all the time and an error code A0-4 has appeared in the screen.
Any ideas?
Many thanks for your help.....

this truck have a limit switch on the mast?
i've seen some of these toy's with those switches and if the mast is up off the switch or the switch circuit is tripped/shorted/damaged it will slow the truck down thinking the mast is raised.

just a thought........

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
