Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that 
may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because 
the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.

 

DIAGNOSTIC CODES

 

The diagnostic  codes for your  Travel  Scooter are designed to help  you perform basic troubleshooting  quickly 
and easily. A diagnostic code will sound and/or flash in the event one of the conditions listed below develops. 
Depending on the model you own, your Travel Scooter will communicate by one of the coding methods as follows:

 

1.

 

A diagnostic code will begin, depending on model, with a series of fast beeps and/or flashes directly followed 
by slower beeps and/or flashes which indicates the actual code. The code is only beeped and/or blinked once. 
To repeat the diagnostic code, remove the key, then reinsert it and turn it to the “on” position, 

OR

 

2.

 

A diagnostic code will identify the condition, pause, then repeat the code. The diagnostic code will continue 
to alert you in this manner until the scooter is turned off.

 

NOTE: Your Travel Scooter will not run unless the diagnostic code condition is resolved and the Travel Scooter 
has been turned off, then turned back on.
