Fault 61

Hi out there.
Can anybody help with a bit of guidance about my 61 fault.
Got no fwd/rev or hydraulics and my in line contactor won,t close.
Checked the usual suspects ie fuses, direction lever, handbrake micro, acc pot, seat switch , and battery. Looks like its got diagnostics but don,t know the correct sequence.
Thanks
Kev

Problem: Traction EEPROM, Abnormality (61)

Now to explain how this code is triggered:
When logic software starts, first it reads the Setup Option data and those check sum data from EEPROM. Software
compares both data. When there is difference, error 61 occurs.

Checks
Set Setup Option Group 3 data. Then, set Setup Option Group 1 and 2 data (default data).
If necessary, adjust Setup Option Group 1 and 2 data again.
See pages in manual for (Procedure of "Setting Setup Option Group 3", "Setting Setup Option Group 1 and 2 default data" and "Adjusting Setup Option Group 1 and 2")

Once you complete checking and resetting up the data in the setup options recheck operation

if "61" display remains?
replace traction logic board

so basically what prancer said ;o)

The code says its the Traction controller, In the rear panel you will see a large Box or two, the one on the left is the traction one, remove the plastic cover and inspect it for burns, they get hot if the driver pushes with the lift. I just repaired a unit with this code. It wasn't either controller but, the small control card that attaches to the it.
