Check the following items:
1. Any loose connection or leakage of pneumatic signal.
Check all tube fittings with soap solution.

Answer / avinash d. pagar

Also please check volume booster function separately with
out positioner and then set factory setting of positioner.
again calibrate positioner by auto calibration. mostly
hunting and over shooting issues cause by booster error.
