4. With the accelerator pedal in the UP position, the voltage reading should be zero.
5. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal. The first voltage reading should be approximately 5-10 volts and
the rear wheels should turn slowly. As the accelerator pedal is depressed toward the floor, the voltage
should continue to increase as the wheels turn faster.
6. When the accelerator pedal reaches the floor, the voltage reading should be approximately 48 volts.
7. If there is little (less than 10 volts) or no voltage output when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed,
replace the controller.

Test Procedure 37 - Voltage to Motor F1 and F2 Terminals
1. Turn the key switch to OFF and place the forward and reverse switch in NEUTRAL. Leave the batteries
connected and leave the Z plug connected to the controller.
2. Place chocks at the front wheels and lift the rear of the vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack. Place
jackstands under the axle tubes to support the vehicle. The rear wheels must be off the ground.
WARNING
• LIFT ONLY ONE END OF A VEHICLE AT A TIME. BEFORE LIFTING, LOCK THE BRAKES AND
CHOCK THE WHEELS THAT REMAIN ON THE FLOOR. USE A SUITABLE LIFTING DEVICE
(CHAIN HOIST OR HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK) WITH 1000 LBS. (454 KG.) MINIMUM LIFTING
CAPACITY. DO NOT USE LIFTING DEVICE TO HOLD VEHICLE IN RAISED POSITION. ALWAYS
USE APPROVED JACKSTANDS OF PROPER WEIGHT CAPACITY TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE.
3. Disconnect the 3-wire plug at the potentiometer.
4. Place the black (-) probe of a multimeter, set to Volts DC, on the F2 terminal (orange wire) on the motor
and place the red (+) probe on the positive (+) post of battery No. 1 (Figure 21-72, Page 21-48). The
reading should be less than one volt.
5. Turn the key switch ON, place the forward and reverse rocker switch in FORWARD, and slowly depress
the accelerator. The reading should be Full Battery Voltage. If the reading is zero volts, check continuity
of the orange wire.
6. Turn the key switch OFF and place the forward and reverse rocker switch in NEUTRAL. Place the black (-)
probe of a multimeter, set to Volts DC, on the F1 terminal (blue wire) on the motor and place the red (+)
probe on the positive (+) post of battery No. 1 (Figure 21-73, Page 21-48). The reading should be less than
one volt.
7. Turn the key switch ON, place the forward and reverse switch in REVERSE, and slowly depress the
accelerator pedal. The reading should be Full Battery Voltage. If the reading is zero volts, check conti-
nuity of the blue wire.
