XI. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
The diagnostic flash codes for your power wheelchair are designed to help you
perform basic troubleshooting quickly and easily. A diagnostic flash code can be
displayed in one of two ways:
 A small wrench will flash under the horn button a certain number of times
indicating the diagnostic code
OR
 The number of battery gauge lights flashing indicates the diagnostic code
Please refer to the diagram below for flash codes, description of problem, and
