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 FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and
easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed below
develops.
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the scooter has been
turned off then turned back on.

What if all the systems on my scooter seem to be “dead”?
n Make certain that the key is in the “on” position.
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
n Push in the main circuit breaker reset button. See V. “Your Sundancer.”
n Make certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the rear electronics module and to the battery
terminals. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”
n Make sure that the front-to-rear harness is firmly connected to the rear electronics module. See IX. “Disas-
sembly and Assembly.”
n Be sure the auto shutoff feature hasn’t been activated. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
n Check the 5-amp fuse located on the lower portion of the tiller console. See XII. “Care and Maintenance” for
fuse replacement.
What if my scooter does not move when I press the throttle control levers?
n With the key turned to the on position, check the status LED. If the LED flashes three times, a pauses, then
flashes two times, this is the manual freewheel lever code and means your scooter is in freewheel mode.
n When the manual freewheel lever is pushed down, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle is
cut.
n Pull up on the manual freewheel lever, turn the scooter off, and then turn the scooter on, to return to normal
scooter operation.
