All the pilot pressure sensors (9,A,b,c ) have readings when operating the various functions ?
You say the Front Att Operation sensor (d) circuit is not working which is likely why the auto idle isn’t functioning properly. Doesn't explain why the idle speed is high with auto idle off tho.
The Front Att operation sensor is located on the side of the swing motor housing, check the wiring harness and the terminals on the sensor.

Not trying to get anyone off track here but looking in parts the 225 has an engine learning switch. I know service manual says not used on some models but I do know if it gets bumped out of neural position will cause engine speed problems even when manual states not used. Simple check worth a look.

Not sure on the 225 but on other models around the fuse panel it is a small switch not much travel between positions I have seen these get bumped out of position especially if you have items stored in the cab.

The 225C has an engine speed learning switch that @Steve Austin mentioned.
When you find the switch and you find it in the middle (normal) position then an engine speed adjustment and engine learning may be the next step.

I found the switch it is in the middle it has never been moved. For now my excavator is working,is there a risk that engine learning would prevent me of finishing this job?
Thank!!
