Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems
that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems
occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer
hold a charge.
DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly
and easily. A diagnostic flash code flashes from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed
below develops.
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the scooter has been
turned off then turned back on.
What if all the systems on my scooter seem to be “dead”?
n Make certain that the key is in the “on” position.
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
n Push in the main circuit breaker reset button. See V. “Your Scooter”
n Make certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronics module and to the
battery terminals. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”
n Make sure that the front-to-rear harness is firmly connected to the electronics module. See IX.
“Disassembly and Assembly.”
n Check the fuses. See XI. “Care and Maintenance” for fuse replacement.
n Be sure the power down timer feature hasn’t been activated. See VII “Operation.”
What if the motor runs but my scooter does not move?
n With the key turned to the “on” position, check the status LED. If the LED flashes three times, pauses
briefly, then flashes two times, this is the manual freewheel lever code meaning your scooter is in
freewheel mode.
n When the manual freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle
is cut.
n Push down the manual freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your scooter See V. “Your Scooter.”
