Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Joystick Off-Neutral / Out-of-Zero Position on Power-Up.
ACTION: Verify joystick centering spring returns lever cleanly to mechanical center. Check Hall-effect sensor center-tap reference voltage (~2.50V).
Red Seal field insights
Drive Interlock: If the joystick is deflected when the deadman trigger is pulled or at key-on, the ECU locks out drive outputs to prevent sudden runaway.
