     Section 5.3  Setup Function Procedures 

 
With the Handset connected, hold down the CONT key and 

turn on the key switch. This will place you in the setup 

mode, ready to monitor or adjust control function settings. 

 

NOTE: The term “Push” means to depress key for 
approximately one second.

At this point, another function can be monitored/changed 

by pushing another function number, or the vehicle can be 
placed in the run mode by holding the ESC key down for 

one second or longer.  The display will return to either the 

diagnostics mode, the BDI display, or a blank display (if 

BDI is not used and there are no fault codes).  The vehicle 

can now be operated with the Handset connected or the 

Handset can be disconnected before operation. 

 

NOTE: You can return to the segment check mode at any 
time, by holding down the ESC key until 8888 appears in 
the display.
 

 
Section 5.3.2  Status Code Scrolling 
 

The SX family of controllers furnishes a function register 

that contains the last 16 “stored status codes” that shut 

down vehicle operation (a PMT type fault that is reset by 

cycling the key switch) and the battery state of charge 

reading at the time the fault occurred. The first of the 16 

status codes will be overwritten each time a new status 

code occurs. This stored status code register can be 

cleared from memory by using the Handset.
