my swing brake takes a long time to set after I let off the controls. this can take up to the count of 10. my pilot pressures are right, cant find a bad sensor. It is not throwing a code. any advice?

    The swing brake always takes a few seconds to set after you let go of the lever. If your swing is drifting between letting go of the lever and the swing brake setting then your are loosing oil through your swing motor, relief valve, spool etc
