Issue category Issue details Cause Troubleshooting methods How to
Positioning Issue
The number of satellites shows 0
Environmental reasons, hardware reasons
1. Check whether the GNSS antenna is blocked or interfered with.  
2. Check whether the GNSS antenna and wiring harness are normal.  
3. Check whether the GNSS antenna harness is connected correctly  
4. Change terminal FOR cross-verification/check  
   
   
Data Source Status/Data broadcast status is abnormal
Data source configuration, operation , and hardware
1. Check whether the data source is configured and used correctly  
(HD201 portable base station, cors configuration, PPP, Fixed base station)  
2. Data source cover range  
3. Check if the radio antenna is installed  
4. Cross-validation by changing the same kind data source  
The differential delay is too large, not 1.0/0.0 or 0.0/0.0
Data source configuration reasons, hardware reasons
1. Check whether the terminal and data source channels are consistent/matched  
2. When Cors is configured, check whether the network is normal. (CORS needs internet)  
3. Is the radio antenna installed?  
4. Cross-validation by changing the same kind data source  
GPS positioning not fixed
Single Point
Network issue
Connect to mobile hotspot or replace SIM card
 
Satellites: normal around 28  
Latitude and longitude: normal  
Data Source Status: Server connection fails  
Location: direction not fixed
GNSS antenna issue
Check connection cables, replace GNSS antenna
 
Satellites: 0  
Latitude and longitude:0  
Data Source Status: normal  
Single Point
CORS account issue (RTK service)
Contact tech support to change CORS account,reset GNSS board
 
Satellites: around 28  
Latitude and longitude: normal  
Data Source Status: Account authentication failed  
Location: Single point (Radio base station connected)
Recevier board and Radio base station mismatch
Replace the correct radio base station or connect to internet/hotsopt to upgrade the radio base station
 
Satellites: around 28  
Latitude and longitude: normal  
Data Upload: Server connection fails  
Swath Transition/Swatch gap Issue
The swath gap on both sides are fixed but the values are wrong
The position of the implement is not centered relative to the agricultural machinery, and the implement parameters are incorrectly filled in.
Adjust left and right offset(in Farm implement parameters), Adjust the connection between the tractor and the implement, left or right
 
 
 
The autosteer will not make the tractor go in a straight line
Farm implement parameters, scenarios, and hardware reasons
Lateral is normal  
1. IMU/Receiver vibration (Attatch IMU directly to floor, not on top of floor mat)  
2. Loose GNSS antenna  
3. IMU and wiring harness failure  
4. Too big implements Backlash/Free Play/loss  
5. Terrain reasons  
6. Inaccurate input of implement parameters  
Abnormal lateral error  
1. Motor and wiring harness abnormality  
2. Vehicle steering abnormality  
3. Control parameters are incorrect  
4. Gyroscope failure  
5. IMU and wiring harness failure  
Connection Abnormality
Status bar shows: SIM card 1 status X SIM card not inserted Check whether SIM is inserted correctly  
Status bar shows: Gyroscope not connected Gyroscope not connected Check gyroscope and cable connections  
Status bar shows: IMU abnormal IMU not connected or damaged Check IMU and cable connections  
Status bar shows: Motor connection abnormal Motor not connected or motor model mismatch Check motor and cable, or change to correct control model  
IMU Issues
After vehicle calibration, Going back and forth on the same navigation line,cannot stay on a straight line; deviation appears; IMU not fixed Re-fix IMU, ensure no obstruction above and no metal interference around  
During normal operation, after turning, There are a lot of small S-bends on the operation track IMU loosened Check and refix IMU  
Swatch gap not fix IMU loosened Check and refix IMU  
Usage Issues
During use, it reports: AutoSteering is not available, control status is idle Connection problem Check the terminal's all harness connection and motor harness  
When the vehicle is parked for a long time during use, the direction angle error is reported when the user starts the autosteer again Gyroscope is Sleeping Restart control box  
Motor turn the steering wheel all the way to the left/right.The vehicle is spinning in circles Magnetometer anomaly After recalibrating the magnetometer, restart  
When the autopilot is activated, the vehicle keeps turning left and right, and the Swatch gap is constantly changing. Control parameter issue Appropriately reduce the heading sensitivity and increase the steering attack adjustment(How often the motor turns the steering wheel)  
During operation, front wheels wobble; overlap varies within a certain range Control parameter issue Adjust steering sensitivity and increase turn gain  
When the product is powered on, the vehicle is moving forward and WAS cannot be initialized
Positioning State is not Fix Check the signal source,cors coverage, whether do the reset the GNSS BOARD  
Gyro broken Replace gyroscope with the gyro cable  
Speed lower than 1.6km/h(1mile/h) speed up 2-3km/h 2mile/h (does not recognize machine is moving)  
Magnetometer Problem Recalibrate Magnetometer  
Motor control status is abnormal, The motor has no torque,
The motor has low torque
Motor configuration reasons, hardware reasons, version reasons
1. Check whether the motor and motor harness are normal  
2. Check whether the motor control type selection is normal  
3. Check if the motor calibration is correct  
4. Check if you have the latest software version  
   
The terminal has not been initialized after starting up.
Driving speed is too low, hardware reasons,
1. The vehicle need faster than 1.6 km/h =1 mile/h  
2. Check whether the positioning status is normal  
3. Check if there is any abnormality in the status bar. If there is, check if the wiring harness connection is normal. If the connection is normal, replace the hardware according to the abnormal prompt in the status and cross-check (gyroscope and wiring harness, IMU and wiring harness)  
Frequent crash when opening navigation Data caching reasons Clear the app cache Click round icon in the black task bar at the bottom of the screen,slide the screen up from bottom to the top, go to settings, find the Applications page, Click NavTerminal, Find Cache, Click clean the cache.
Control box not connected
Version, hardware reasons
1. Check if you have the latest software version  
2. Change other terminal to cross-verification  
Software When the new device is turned on, the factory test interface is displayed, and there is no autosteering app Android setup issues Android system settings - privacy - workmode changed to 0
