Scooter Diagnostic Functions

Your Scooter Controller provides diagnostic information in the form of number and/or symbol codes. The
spanner symbol will appear on the LCD display if a fault is detected and a number in the range 1 to 10 will be
displayed. Upon switching on, the controller conducts a diagnostic test. While this test is in progress the spanner
symbol will flash. This is quite normal. Provided that no fault is detected, the spanner symbol will extinguish. If
there is a fault, the spanner symbol will remain on and it will be accompanied by a number. - This fault number
can be referenced against the list below.

Tip: If in doubt switch off and switch on – if this does not cure the fault contact your dealer. Your dealer is there to
help you but they can only do this if you give them as much information as possible. Remember correct
information will get the problem fixed quicker and save you money. Phone the dealer and explain exactly what the
problem is, recounting as much detail as possible. Tell them about the symbols & numbers appearing on the LCD
screen; this will help the engineer to identify the problem before he calls to fix it. Your dealer is there to help you.
