    Why is my Invacare Wheelchair slow when driving?
    • A
      Amber TaylorAug 31, 2025
      If your Invacare Wheelchair slows or stops while driving and the DPJ Joystick - ORANGE LED flashes or MPJ Joystick - “HOT” or “SLOW” is displayed, it is likely due to current rollback. This occurs when the wheelchair has been driven under a heavy load for an extended period. Adjust driving parameters to match the environment and allow time for the electronics to cool down by using it for light duty.

    • J
      Justin BradleyAug 30, 2025
      If the seating system on your Invacare Wheelchair is not functioning correctly or is working intermittently, it could be due to several reasons: - Low batteries (charge them). - A faulty electrical connection (check all connections). - A blown fuse (replace the wiring harness). - The seat has been driven under a heavy load for an extended period of time (allow time for the electronics to cool down). - Open Motor connection/Motor locks disengaged (check all motor connectors and make sure motor locks are engaged). - A malfunctioning seating system controller (replace seating system controller. Contact Invacare). - A bad user switch (Use the programmer to check the TRECM Current Status Menu for switch status).
