JLG 20MVL:
No control in reverse

Drives forward with no issues. In reverse the left motor spins at full speed with no control. Cannot go back to forward without power cycling. Right motor works correctly in both forward and reverse. Traction control module?

Probably, but usually would show an error

1. I have the manual.
2. Brakes release and engage properly
3. forward motion from joystick works properly
4. reverse motion for right drive motor work properly
5. reverse motion for left motor works, but it is at full speed so I automatically turn left in reverse.
6. Once I go in reverse, the left wheel seems stuck in reverse. It will stop when I disengage the joystick but if I try to go forward again the left tire still spins full speed in reverse. Once I power cycle I can again move forward with no issues.

Download service manual, I would verify joystick output to reverse first and verify brakes releasing

Fact of the week
The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
