Scooter Diagnostic Functions
Your Scooter Controller provides diagnostic information in the form of flash codes displayed on the green
power LED on the battery gauge. The LED will flash a given number of flashes and then repeat the sequence
after a pause. Upon switching on, the controller conducts a diagnostic test. This is quite normal. Provided that
no fault is detected the LED will then be on constantly. If there is a fault then the LED will continue to flash the
pattern corresponding to the numbers below - e.g. if a repeating pattern of 2 flashes appears, then a motor
fault would be expected as per the list below.
Number of Flashes Indicated fault and Corrective Action
1 Battery needs recharging or bad connection with batteries.
Check connections, and recharge batteries.
2 Bad motor connection. Request assistance from dealer who will
check all connections between controller and motor.
3 Short circuit between motor and battery connection. Contact dealer.
4 & 5 Not used
6 Key switch or associated circuit interruption. If fault continues
contact dealer.
7 Throttle fault. Finger control levers must be in neutral (centred)
position before key is turned on. Switch scooter off, centre levers,
and switch back on. If fault persists, contact dealer.
8 Controller fault. Inform dealer who will check connections
and controller.
9 Scooter left in freewheel or has a bad parking brake connection.
Engage drive, and switch scooter of and on. If this fails to cure the
problem, check parking brake and ensure it stops the vehicle.
Inform dealer who will check brake and motor connections.
10 Excessive voltage detected at controller. Check battery connections.
Tip: If in doubt switch off and switch on – if this does not cure the fault contact your dealer. Your dealer is
there to help you but they can only do this if you give them as much information as possible. Remember
correct information will get the problem fixed quicker and save you money. Phone the dealer and explain
exactly what the problem is, recounting as much detail as possible. Tell them about the flash sequence
appearing on the LED indicator; this will help the engineer to identify the problem before he calls to fix it.
Your dealer is there to help you.
