It is essential to observe the flashing pattern (number of blinks followed by a pause) of the LED light any
time the vehicle is not operating as expected. The number of blinks is very useful for your servicing dealer
to accurately and quickly diagnose any faults that exist.
However, two of the flash codes may indicate an operation fault, and likely do not require component
changes or dealer service.
A “2 Flash fault” may indicate a start-up sequence fault. This is caused when the vehicle direction
Selector is not in the neutral position when the power keyswitch is turned on. Steps to take to possibly
clear this fault are:
Set the parking brake.
Turn vehicle power keyswitch to OFF.
Set direction Selector to N
– Neutral.
Ensure the accelerator pedal is at its resting (up) position.
Turn vehicle power keyswitch to ON.
Select the desired direction on the direction Selector.
Release parking brake and depress accelerator.
A "7 flash fault" may indicate that the battery voltage is too high or too low for the vehicle power system.
Voltage too high occurs when rapidly descending hills with a vehicle equipped with the ACE
plus
Regenerative braking system. The electrical system creates current which causes a spike in battery
voltage. To prevent this, always travel at a safe, prudent speed when driving on declines, especially with
freshly charged batteries. To possibly clear this fault turn the power keyswitch to OFF and back to ON. If
there is still a “7 flash fault”, the battery voltage may be low. Check and charge batteries or replace
batteries.
If the
operational fault persists or the LED is not lit or there is a “flash fault” other than 2 or 7, contact your
Columbia ParCar Dealer.
