Pride J6 with NE Electronics - Joystick Error

14 www.pridemobility.com J6 with NE, NE+, and Q-Logic Electronics Technical Troubleshooting Guide
5. Verify the inhibit program. The charger inhibit
“chrgInb” should be set to “ON” for NE electronics or
to “High Inhibit” for NE+ or Q-Logic electronics. See
figure 18 for NE electronics or figure 22 for NE+ or
Q-Logic electronics.
— If the inhibit is programmed incorrectly, then reprogram
the inhibit and retest the system.
— If the power chair does not drive and the inhibit program
is correct,
then replace the power module (2) and retest
the system.
Joystick Error
Symptoms:
 The batteries are fully charged.
 All electrical components are properly connected.
 An error code is displayed when the NE, NE+, or Q-
Logic joystick module (1) is powered on.
 The joystick is in the neutral (centered) position when
the unit is powered on.
Diagnosis:
There is an input communications error.
Solution:
Use the following procedure to find the source of the error:
1. Check that the BUS cables and communication devices
are connected correctly. See diagram 5 or 6.
2. Measure resistance across connectors 3a and 3b of the
BUS cable extension (3). See figure 19.
— If the multimeter indicates an open for any of the
measurements, then replace the BUS cable extension
(3) and retest the system.
— If the multimeter indicates less than 1 ohm for all of the
measurements, then go to the next step.
3. If the power chair is equipped with multiple input
devices, then ensure there is a multiplier in the BUS line.
— If there is no multiplier, then contact Quantum
Technical Service for further troubleshooting help.
— If there is a multiplier on the BUS line, then go to the
next step.
4. Measure resistance on the multiplier BUS cable. See
figure 20.
— If the multimeter indicates an open for any of the
measurements, then replace the multiplier and retest the
system.
— If the multimeter indicates less than 1 ohm for all of the
measurements, then contact Quantum Technical
Service for further troubleshooting help.
