Troubleshooting

The VSI controller is designed with the user’s safety as the prime consideration. It incorporates many sophisticated
self-test features which search for potential problems at a rate of 100 times per second. If the VSI detects a
problem either in its own circuits or in the power chair’s electrical system, it may stop the power chair, depending
on the severity of the problem. The VSI is designed to maximize the user’s safety under all normal conditions. The
table below identifies the individual error codes. Error codes are displayed as a rapid flashing of the lights. If you
get one of these error codes, contact your authorized Pride provider.
