Impact
on Scooter
Notes
1. Battery needs
recharging
Will drive
Battery charge is running Iow.
Recharge the batteries as soon as possible.
6. Out of neutral at
power-up
Drive
inhibited
Thumb lever not in neutral position when turning
key switch on. Return Thumb lever to neutral, turn
power off, and back on again. Throttle may need
to be re-calibrated (see Section 4.2.3). Check
throttle wiring.
7. Speed VR error
Drive
inhibited
Thumb lever or its wiring is faulty. Check for open
or short circuits. Thumb lever may not be correctly
set up. Contact your service agent.
8. Motor volts error
Drive
inhibited
The motor or its wiring is faulty. Check for
open or shot circuits. Contact your service
agent.
9. Other internal
errors
Drive
inhibited
Contact your service agent.
Drive
inhibited
Battery charge is empty. Recharge the batteries.
If the scooter is left off for a few minutes, battery
charge might recover enough to allow driving
for a short time.
2. Battery voltage
too Iow
Drive
inhibited
The scooter has drawn too much current for
too long, possibly because the motor has been
over-worked, jammed or stalled. Turn the scooter
power off, leave for a few minutes, and then
turn the power back on again. The controller
has detected a shorted motor. Check the loom
for shorts and check the motor. Contact your
service agent.
4. Current limit
time-out
Drive
inhibited
Battery charge is too high. If a charger is
plugged in, unplug it or turn the Charge/Run
switch to Run. Scooters powered by RHINO
charge the batteries when travelling down
slopes or decelerating. Excessive charging
in this manner can cause this fault. Turn the
scooter power off then on again. If necessary,
reduce speed when descending the slope.
3. Battery voltage
too high
Drive
inhibited
Check that the park-brake release lever is in
the engaged position. Check that the motor/
park-brake connector is plugged in firmly. The
park-brake coil or wiring is fauly. Check the
park brake and wiring for open or short circuits
If necessary, unplug the motor/park-brake
connector and check that all four pins are in the
correct position. If this flash code does not
appear until the throttle has been moved out of
neutral, check for a short in the park-brake
circuit. If this flash code appears at power-up,
check for an open circuit in the park-brake
circuit. Contact your service agent.
5. Brake fault
To check the Self-Diagnostic Warning Light, turn on the key and count the number of flashes.
