Basic Troubleshooting - Pride Mobility TRAVEL SCOOTER Series Owner's Manual

V I I . B A S I C T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G
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 CODES
The diagnostic codes for your Travel Scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly
and easily. A diagnostic code will sound and/or fl ash in the event one of the conditions listed below develops.
Depending on the model you own, your Travel Scooter will communicate by one of the coding methods as follows:
1. A diagnostic code will begin, depending on model, with a series of fast beeps and/or fl ashes directly followed
by slower beeps and/or fl ashes which indicates the actual code. The code is only beeped and/or blinked once.
To repeat the diagnostic code, remove the key, then reinsert it and turn it to the "on" position, OR
2. A diagnostic code will identify the condition, pause, then repeat the code. The diagnostic code will continue
to alert you in this manner until the scooter is turned off.
NOTE: Your Travel Scooter will not run unless the diagnostic code condition is resolved and the Travel Scooter
has been turned off, then turned back on.
