Hydraulic Controls Sluggish / Soft Deadband
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Main Pilot Control Line Pressure Sensor Signal Implausible.
ACTION: Install a 0–100 bar mechanical gauge on the pilot filter manifold test port. Verify mechanical pressure (spec: 38–42 bar); cross-reference against SYMC live telemetry data.
Red Seal field insights
Pilot Starvation: If the controller detects pilot pressure drifting below 30 bar during joystick deflection, it limits pump displacement to prevent erratic implement jerk.
