8 Status Indication
Depending on the scooter model, the status indicator may be a single lamp (or LED)
or a TruCharge battery gauge and diagnostics display. Both types indicate the status
of the controller. See section 10 for more details of TruCharge battery gauge.
Please note that a number of supposedly faulty controllers returned to PGDT are
subsequently found to operate correctly. This indicates that many faults are due to
problems on the scooter rather than within the controller.
8.1 Status Indicator Steady
This indicates that all is well.
8.2 Status Indicator Flashes Slowly
The controller is functioning correctly, but you should charge the batteries as soon as
possible.
8.3 Status Indicator Blinks Off Every 5 Seconds
The controller has detected that the batteries are being charged.
8.4 Status Indicator Flashes Rapidly (even with throttle
released)
The controller safety circuits have operated and the controller has been prevented
from moving the scooter.
This indicates that there is a fault. Please follow this procedure:
• Switch off the scooter.
• Make sure that all connectors on the scooter are mated securely.
• Check the condition of the battery.
• If you can’t find the problem, try using the self-help guide in section 8.5.
• Switch the scooter on again and try to drive. If the safety circuits operate
again, switch off and do not try to use the scooter. Contact your service agent.
8.5 Self-Help Guide
If a fault occurs and you have a scooter model fitted with a TruCharge display, you
can find out what has happened by counting the number of bars that are flashing
on the battery gauge.
The following diagrams give an overview of the fault types and a list of self-help
actions. Try to use this list before you contact your service agent. Go to the number in
the list which matches the number of flashing bars and follow the instructions.
8.6 Diagnostic Flash Code Feature
The Diagnostic Flash Code Feature is a factory programmed feature that allows a
single status lamp or LED to display the TruCharge fault code. This is done by pulsing
the lamp on for a number of times equivalent to the number of TruCharge bars that
would be flashing for a given fault.
