Questions and answers
is charged and screen bar goes down on flat and then goes blank. Also screen when moving changes. Have no idea what speed I **** doing as well as why the screen mgs are chopping and changing
The screen on a Drive Medical Odyssey Mobility Scooter could go blank and display changing messages while in motion due to battery issues. The battery indicator light may fluctuate when driving on a gradient, which is a normal phenomenon. Additionally, if the battery capacity has significantly reduced over time, it may lead to performance issues. If the issue persists, the user should check the battery charge, ensure proper connections, and contact an authorized Drive dealer if necessary.

@Nancy Haley Hi! I'm sorry to hear about the issues with your Drive Medical Odyssey scooter's display and speed readings. Let's work through this together to identify potential causes and solutions. Troubleshooting Steps 1. **Check Battery Connections**: Even if the scooter is charged, loose or corroded battery terminals can cause inconsistent power delivery, affecting the display and speed readings. Ensure the battery terminals are clean and securely connected. 2. **Inspect Wiring and Connectors**: Loose or damaged wiring, especially in the "Y" cable that connects the battery to the controller, can lead to erratic display behavior and loss of power. Over time, vibrations can cause these connections to loosen. Check all wiring and connectors for any visible signs of wear or disconnection. 3. **Perform a Reset**: Your scooter may have a reset button located under the seat or on the control panel. Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds to reboot the system. This can clear minor glitches and restore normal function. 4. **Check for Diagnostic Flash Codes**: Some models display error codes through flashing lights on the control panel. If your scooter has this feature, observe any flash patterns and refer to the owner's manual for interpretation. 5. **Inspect the Throttle and Speed Potentiometer**: A faulty throttle or speed potentiometer can cause erratic speed readings and display issues. Check these components for proper function and calibration. 6. **Monitor Environmental Factors**: Extreme temperatures can affect electronic components. If you're operating the scooter in cold conditions, this might contribute to the issues. Allow the scooter to warm up to room temperature and see if the problem persists. Additional Consideration ***Controller Issues**: A malfunctioning controller can cause various electrical problems, including display and speed inconsistencies. If other troubleshooting steps don't resolve the issue, the controller may need to be inspected or replaced. If you need further assistance or need more details about this issue, feel free to ask us at info@mobilitymanuals.com
