INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
Before operating the vehicle, carefully complete the following checkout proce-
dure. If you find a problem during the checkout, refer to the diagnostics and
troubleshooting section (Section 8) for further information.
e installation checkout can be conducted with or without a 1313 hand-
held programmer or 1314 PC Programmig Station. e checkout procedure is
easier with a programmer. Otherwise, observe the Status LED (located in the
controller’s label area) for diagnostic codes. e codes are listed in Section 8.
Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheels up
o the ground before beginning these tests.
Do not stand, or allow anyone else to stand, directly in
front of or behind the vehicle during the checkout.
Make sure the keyswitch is o, the throttle is in neutral,
and the forward and reverse switches are open.
Wear safety glasses and use well-insulated tools.
1. If a programmer is available, connect it to the programmer connector.
2. Turn the keyswitch on. e programmer should power up with an initial
display, and the controller’s Status LED should begin steadily blinking
a single ash. If neither happens, check for continuity in the keyswitch
circuit and controller ground.
3. If you are using a programmer, select the Diagnostics Menu, and open
the Present Faults folder. e display should indicate “No Known Faults.”
Close the interlock switch (if one is used in your application). e Status
LED should continue blinking a single ash and the programmer should
continue to indicate no faults.
If there is a problem, the LED will flash a diagnostic code and the
programmer will display a diagnostic message. If you are conducting
the checkout without a programmer, look up the LED diagnostic code
in Section 8 (Diagnostics and Troubleshooting).
When the problem has been corrected, it may be necessary to cycle
the keyswitch in order to clear the fault.
