6.3 Diagnostics and Trouble Shooting
The electronics system provides diagnostics information to assist technicians to diagnose and correct faults within
the scooter system. The existence of a fault will cause the status light to flash in bursts, separated by a pause. The
nature of the fault is indicated by the number of flashes in each burst, also referred to as the Flash Code.
Depending on the severity of the fault and impact on user safety, the electronic system will react
differently. It may…
-
Simply display the Flash Code as a warning and allow normal driving and operation.
-
Display the Flash Code, stop the scooter and prevent driving until the electronic system has been turned off
and then back on again.
-
Display the Flash Code, stop the scooter and prevent driving until the fault has been fixed.
-
For detailed descriptions of what each Flash Code means, and the probable cause and remedy, see Section
6.3.2 on page 9.
