Manual Steering Override (for Steering Encoders)

Figure 2-82 Manual Steering Override

Some vehicle profiles use an encoder to detect motion at the steering wheel.

In these cases, the Manual Steering Override screen will show a red or green light.
Red Light – No steering wheel motion detected.

Green Light – Steering wheel motion detected.

OnTrac2 ECU

When the vehicle profile is connected to a Mechanical Steering Device or OnTrac2+, the ECU screen is replaced by the
OnTrac2 ECU screen. This screen provides a lot of the same information as the ECU screen but adds a few extra options to
monitor.
