has anyone had problems with the electric steering ratcheting upon stepping on deadman peddle. upon steering auto-centering the steering unit will just ratch back & forth instead of coming to a location stop as normal , steering controller , proxy,encoder,interface card,carriage card has been replaced inspected steering motor pinion gear reduction all hardware is intack C5 code will come up not all times. have performed steer learn , after learn has been completed and display reads done the steering drive unit starts to ratchet.all tests are by the book

justinm ,sterring motor has been removed number of times and disassembled & inspected pinion is only worn slighty on the spur gear of teeth no more than what is normal ; shaft and key way set screw is tight with no play. special note display card was installed & steering learn was performed as i have done in the past with other eop;s there is no fault codes comeing up on steering tracker but again apon stepping on deadman pedal the steering will come on line and steering uint will just set and ratchet back and forth slightly appox 1to2 inchs left to right instead of powering up in the static state as the steering motor normally should do intill you give it the command from the steering wheel on platform thanks for your help will be awaiting your response
seeing you changed the steer control
id pull that motor and pay close attention to the pinion
esp on the shaft
take the allen out
if it seems loose when you 1st try to loosen the allen, the motor shaft might be stripped
pull the gear and see if it ground a channel into the shaft thats allowing the motor shaft to spin independent of the pinion
like i said i had a raymond shear the keyway and do exactly that
though i forget the exact symptoms since it was a few years ago
but i believe they were similar to yours
no not that iam aware of on antennas & wire guidance. have checked voltage very low appox 3 to 4 volts battery pretty clean will remove in order to isolate and eliminate possible voltage interference to frame & components have visual checks on cables will inspect and omh motor
yes cables have been removed and checked thay also been swapped in order to see if that was or possible could be a cause of our problem steering controller coded out. cables reversed
Have the steer motor cables been disconnected for any reason? I know on some steer controllers if you get the motor cable on the wrong way it causes a similar problem.
code C5 means the steer control detected pulses from the steer encoder when no movement was commanded
so this is the result of your fault not the cause
have you checked frame voltage?
remove steer motor cables and check for shorts from the terminals to the frame of the motor
repeat check for cables (disconnected from motor)
does it have wire guidance antennas? (even if the location isnt setup for it)
