Quote:It continues to try adjusting course and randomly steer hard to starboard even though it's in standby mode (with no effect since the clutch is disengaged)

That's not good. That's not just sensor input, that sounds terminal to me. It's it's not just the belt-wear-levelling partial rotation on power-up that some of the wheeldrive models do at startup, being triggered by low supply voltage, then I think it's broken and time for a new pilot. It sounds like it's had a fair life-span.
