Diagnosis & fix steps

ACTION: Inspect SAHR proportional solenoid on the central hydrostatic drive manifold. Measure resistance (~20–24Ω); check wiring where it drops through the cab sub-floor for chafing.
Red Seal field insights
Hydraulic Pressure Dump: A short to ground blows the driver circuit, venting hydraulic holding pressure directly to tank and letting the internal spring pack clamp the driveline brake.
