Help Please! Fault code 27

Hi fellas, I'm new here. Great website!

I'm hoping one of you could help me decipher a fault code our 2001 Mitsu 2FBC25E forklift has been giving us.

When you first turn the key on, the lift seems to operate normally, except for the accelerator pedal. The lift will move forward and backward at slow speeds, but when you press the pedal past a certain point the drive system will shut down, all hydraulics will slow to a "creep mode" and fault code "27" shows up on the display. You must then toggle the key off-on to restart the lift, but the same thing will continue to happen.

Mitsubishi and Caterpillar have not been helpful is resolving the issue. They claim they no longer have the computer to read older machines because of an operating system change. And local mechanics just scratch their heads.

I'm not a forklift tech guy, and we need our lift to operate normally, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you need any further info about the lift, let me know.
I think the control system is Gemini EC ??

Man, that *** when your local dealers gives up on you. I can't afford to lose my customers so I stay at a job until I get it fixed. At least my customers know who to call to get the job done. Have you or the dealers called Mitsi's Techline at the head office in Texas??
Good luck and keep us posted on this unique problem.

The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
