Bobcat code L0402: Information button error ON

What it means

A button on the instrument panel reads as pressed when it shouldn't. The O&M manuals call it the Information button; Bobcat's 2020 list calls it standard panel button 4.

Can I keep running?

OK to run, check it

Yes. It is information or a minor fault: check it when you can, and clear the code once fixed.

Check first

Park on level ground, lower the lift arms and attachment to the ground, stop the engine and remove the key.
Press and release the button a few times to free it, then restart without touching the panel.
Keep the panel dry; don't spray water at it.
If it returns, call your dealer.

Likely causes

Button stuck or held during startup
Dirt or moisture in the panel
Faulty panel

The fix

Freeing a stuck button clears it. If not, the panel may need replacing. You may not be able to scroll the display until it's fixed.
