Diagnostics Tools
While the
R
HINO
2
may indicate the abnormal condition, a hand held programmer or the PC-
based Wizard 5 will provide more detailed information on the fault.
Hand Held Programmer
Plugging a hand held programmer into the
R
HINO
2
when an abnormal condition exists will
cause the fault to be displayed on the screen. A 4-digit code will be displayed which
indicates the condition. The first two digits provide the flash code number. The second two
digits provide more specific diagnostics information that is suitable for repair technicians.
While there are alternative flash code sequences that may be flashed on the status LED, the
hand held programmer will only display the appropriate Scooter Flash Code information. For
instance if the Shark Flash Codes are used, the Status LED will display an 8-Flash code for an
internal error. When the hand held programmer is plugged in, it will display a flash code 9 on
the screen.
DYNAMIC
Wizard
Wizard is the preferred diagnostics tool in the workshop environment, providing a full fault
history (last 16) and verbal descriptions of each flash and associated servicing code.
If after analysing the data, the condition cannot be diagnosed, it is possible to save a Status
Report for further analysis or distribution via email to a service centre.
Note
:
It is also possible to print and fax the Status Report to the service centre, but the
preferred method is to email the report, as the electronic version of the report
contains additional information that is not available in the printed version.
Fault log
The
R
HINO
2
contains a fault log that stores the last 16 faults in sequence of occurrence. The
fault log can be accessed with the HHP and with the Wizard (by making a diagnostics
report).
It is possible to clear the fault log with the Wizard:
Tools -> Erase Controller History
.
Note
:
Erasing the controller history will reset the Service Scheduler (5.6) as well.
