32: Idle Timeout

Understanding and Resolving Idle Timeouts

This pause reason indicates that the tractor remained stationary and inactive for a predetermined period, leading to an automatic shutdown of the ignition. This feature is typically implemented to conserve power and prevent the tractor from being left unattended for extended periods without actively performing a task.
