Schematic for the tilt lever sensor
This diagnostic code is recorded when the Implement ECM determines that the tilt lever sensor is out of calibration. The tilt lever sensor is a PWM sensor.The possible causes for this diagnostic code are listed:
The tilt lever has operated outside the calibrated range for more than three seconds.System Response:The machine response is listed below:
Implement features will not operate.
The Lever will operate with the increased deadband.

Duty Cycle Signal as a Function of Control Lever Position
Lever Position Approximate Duty Cycle
Tilt Lever Full Forward Travel 10% to 15%
Tilt Lever Full Rearward Travel 85% to 90%
Lift Lever Full Forward Travel 10% to 15%
Lift Lever Full Rearward Travel 85% to 90% Note: Ensure that the diagnostic code is active.Test Step 1. RECALIBRATE THE LEVER POSITION SENSORRecalibrate the lever position sensor. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Calibrations (Cat ET)".Expected Result:A successful calibration causes this diagnostic code to become inactive. Results:
YES - The calibration causes this diagnostic code to become inactive. Resume normal machine operation.STOP
NO - The calibration has not caused the diagnostic code to become inactive.Repair: Use Cat ET in order to verify the duty cycle of each lever position. Refer to table 1. If the duty cycle values are not correct, replace the lever or the joystick.STOP
