Flash Code #5 - Right Motor Wiring Fault

Symptoms:
! Five Battery Condition Meter LEDs Flashing
! Three Red LEDs and Two Yellow LEDs
Diagnosis:
There is a wiring fault between the right motor (8) and brake (8b).
Solution:
Use the following procedure to find the source of the fault:
1. Unplug connector 1b from connector 2a. See diagram 1.
2. Measure resistance from pin 1 to pin 9 and pin 1 to pin 7 on
connector 2a. See figure 18.
— If your multimeter indicates an open for each test, then re-
place the VSI controller (1) and retest the system.
— If your multimeter indicates a short or a relatively low re-
sistance (less than 1M ohm) for either test, then go to the
next step.
3. Remove the seat and battery box. Refer to the Go-Chair
owner's manual.
4. Remove the rear shroud, making sure not to pull out any
connected wires. See figure 12.
5. Unplug connector 2d from connector 8a. See diagram 1.
6. Measure resistance from pin 1 (red) to pin 4 (white), then
from pin 1 (red) to pin 5 (white) on connector 8a. See
figure 19.
— If your multimeter indicates an open for each test, then re-
place the power interface harness (2) and retest the system.
— If your multimeter indicates a short or a relatively low re-
sistance (less than 1M ohm) for either test, then replace the
right motor (8) and retest the system.

Flash Code #7 - Possible Joystick Fault

Symptoms:
! Seven Battery Condition Meter LEDs Flashing
! Three Red LEDs and Four Yellow LEDs
Diagnosis:
! The VSI controller (1) has a problem with the joystick (gimble).
! The joystick was out of the neutral (center) position when powered up. The battery condition meter LEDs will ripple side-
to-side twice, then display seven flashing LEDs.
NOTE: If the battery condition meter is showing seven flashing LEDs, make sure there is no physical damage to the
joystick keeping it from returning to the neutral (center) position.
Solution:
Use the following procedure to correct the fault:
1. Turn the VSI off. Make sure the joystick is not being depressed in any directions.
2. Turn the VSI back on.
— If the VSI still displays this fault, replace the VSI controller (1) and retest the system.
