my first thought would be to check the seat switch and make sure it is closing when operator is on the seat. if it is not closing it may be causing that error when the key is turned on.
one of the most common problems dealing with operator errors is seat switch and park brake switch issues.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
