Crown SP3000:
Steering issue at start up

When the unit is turned on the drive motor will try to turn to the right and then shut down, PMT if you would the steering contactor. At which time it throws up the wrench light up on the dash display. The unit will only lift.
I found that if I raise the drive tire off the ground and turn the drive unit all the way to the right then key on the unit, it will start up and operate correctly.
I've checked for loose connections at the steer motor, steer module, steer contactor and the steering card.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You need the Crown Service Terminal in order to set the index for the Feedback Encoder.

Ok, what is battery voltage dropping to when you key on and unit faults? Also, if you get a wrench light there is a code associated. press the black left/right toggle switch labeled with "i" to get to last event code.

No code displayed. It has a newer battery in it, voltage of 24.68.
