5.11 CONTROLLER TROUBLESHOOTING
(DC Drive vehicle only)
The controller is located under the rear body. See Figure 5.11. The controller has a green LED diagnostic light (Arrow
Figure 5.11) which is a good tool to indicate a fault in the electrical system.
If equipped, the dash system status light functions the same as this light.
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.
