Solution from the manual
* Verify PCON is receiving power. Check for 12 V on J15-2 (+) and J15-1 (-). * Verify PCON is receiving ESTOP signals. With ground ESTOP pulled out and keyswitch set to Platform, verify 12 V is reaching PCON J15-10. * Verify CAN bus is functional. Pull out connector J15 from the PCON and with a voltmeter set to resistance verify that pins 3 and 4 on the harness connector measure between 110 and 130 Ohms. Check wiring and boom cable for open or short circuits if resistance check fails. * Replace PCON if necessary.
