Electrical Troubleshooting Test Equipment Required: • User Level Maintenance Handset # 62-027-64 The Maintenance Handset can view current faults, fault history, monitor all controller inputs and outputs and monitor the current status of the controller, motor, battery and vehicle operation. Instruction for using the handset are included with the handset.
Electrical Troubleshooting Status LED Code Table The status LED’s on the speed controller can be used to give you an idea of where the problem may be. During normal operation (no faults) the yellow LED will be flashing steady. When the controller senses a fault the two LED’s can be used to determine the fault code.

Electrical Troubleshooting THROTTLE MODULE TEST Disconnect the truck harness from the throttle module. Connect the plug on the short end of the 75-089-00 test harness to the throttle module. Connect the receptacle on the short end of the test harness to the vehicles control harness. The long end of the harness will be used for testing. Refer to the illustration below.

Electrical Troubleshooting All tests performed with the ON-OFF Switch switch in the ON position. Accelerator pedal depressed meas to depress the accelerator pedal fully (full speed). Accelerator pedal released means to completely release the accelerator pedal (off). TEST 1: Accelerator pedal released. Test the voltage from pin #9 to battery positive.
Page 138
Electrical Troubleshooting TEST 4: Accelerator pedal released. Test the voltage from pin #9 to pin #1. If the voltage is below 0.3 volts, then skip ahead to test #5. If the voltage is above 0.3 volts, then the module has failed and must be replaced. Stop trouble shooting here and repair the problem.
Page 139
Electrical Troubleshooting TEST 6: Accelerator pedal depressed. Test the voltage from pin #9 to pin #1. If the voltage is between 4.8 and 5.1 volts, then skip ahead to test #7. If the voltage is not between 4.8 and 5.1 volts, then the module has failed and must be replaced.

Electrical Troubleshooting OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND THEORY OF OPERATION The Lestronic II ® chargers are designed as semiautomatic chargers. The Lestronic II ® charger turns itself on when the “built- in” charger is plugged into the wall outlet, or when the “portable” charger is plugged into the batteries.
Electrical Troubleshooting TESTING THE CHARGING CYCLE In typical installations, the charger will remain on for up to 12 hours depending on the state of charge of the battery when the charge cycle was started. A charger could remain on for longer than 12 hours if: •...
Electrical Troubleshooting TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR TROUBLESHOOTING Digital Multi Meter (DMM) with diode and capacitor test function, FLUKE 79 ® model shown at right and in the troubleshooting illustrations. Important Notes and Instructions • This troubleshooting guide assumes a familiarity with the use of a digital multimeter including, voltage tests, continuity tests and diode testing.
Electrical Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING FOR BUILT-IN CHARGER 1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the key. 2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position. 3. Set the park brake. 4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement. 5.

Electrical Troubleshooting • Disconnect the charger from the AC source. • Disconnect the batteries. • Disconnect the charger from the vehicle’s harness. • Remove the charger from the vehicle. HIGH VOLTAGE may be stored in the capacitor. Discharge the capacitor before continuing.
Page 147
Electrical Troubleshooting • Test the voltage from the fuse assembly (-) to the diode block (+). This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then the wires from the harness connectors to the charger are bad.
Electrical Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING FOR PORTABLE CHARGER Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and the batteries. 1. Test the voltage from the positive terminal on the vehicles DC receptacle to main battery negative. This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery voltage then this wire is broken or has a bad connection.
Electrical Troubleshooting 5. Reconnect the lead to the diode. 6. Connect the charger to the AC source. Insert the DC charger plug into the DC receptacle and perform the following tests: High Voltage inside the charger. Do not touch any internal components while the charger is plugged in.
Electrical Troubleshooting 4. Disconnect the wires from the contact terminals on the timer relay. 5. Reconnect the batteries. 6. Wait 5 seconds, then test the continuity across the timer relay contact terminals. • If this is a closed circuit, then the timer start up circuit is functioning normally. •...
