Fishfiles 19,776 Posted January 17, 2020 Welcome , I am not a ES guy but I read a lot of the problems with them , one easy quick thing to try is remove the shift motor , don't disassemble the shift motor , take it off with the base attached to the motor , clean the old OEM grease off and re-grease it , seems the oem grease gets hard and keeps it from working -- also angle sensors go bad , have you change it yet ------ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 19,776 Posted January 17, 2020 I think the place to start is remove , clean and grease the shift motor ----- I am taking for granted that it shifts with the emergency tool ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toodeep 1,737 Posted January 17, 2020 Can you manually shift it back to neutral? You might have to rock the machine back and forth while shifting it. Once back in neutral cycle the key switch and see what the display does. If it's flashing count the number of flashes. There will be 2 patterns, long blink and short. That will give us a code to get a general idea on where to start. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 7,236 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Code 24 is shift motor control drive circuit. Download your factory service manual here, go to page 23-14 for a list of problem codes, and it will give you the page number to go to in order to troubleshoot the error code. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12hzs10L_Gwu0aVyp8vhmEXNdf2N2P7tk Use the 07-10 420 manual. Same as your 2013. Edited January 17, 2020 by jeepwm69 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Out Riding 4 Posted March 9, 2020 Always check the battery connection it will throw random codes out there if one of the battery cables are loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
