Section 4 - Troubleshooting
Fault code light steady ON
Indicates the controller is powered
up and ready to perform. If the ve-
hicle fails to operate with the fault
code light in the steady on condi-
tion, it is likely the controller is not
receiving the correct input from the
drive system, or a mechanical fault
has occurred.
1. Check to make sure the parking brake is releasing and the
vehicle will not roll when pushed on a level surface.
2. Check for other mechanical failures such as stripped hubs
or anythng that would prevent the vehicle from being able
to operate. Make sure a direction of travel is selected (the
vehicle will not attempt to drive while set to Neutral).
Check the inputs of the electrical system by using the Com-
puter Diagnostcs Utilities (Columbia Part No. 30001-04) or
the handheld calibrator (Columbia Part No. 30003-04) . See
the following procedures.

TROUBLESHOOTING WITH PCPAK
With the vehicle power system off, connect the PCPak (computer
diagnostic utility) and then turn the vehicle power on.
1. Open the connection between the controller and the PCPaK
utility. On the left side of the screen, select the “test” section
under the “traction” pull down. This screen will display the in-
puts the controller is observing at that time (Figure 4-2).
2. With the Forward / Reverse switch set to Neutral, slowly press
the accelerator pedal. The “Accelerator Push” value should
rise in value from 0-100% smoothly as you press the pedal
(Figure 4-3). If the value does not change, the controller is
not receiving input from the accelerator control device (po-
tentiometer or linear accelerator device). Check all cable and
wire connections regarding the accelerator control device. If
the value does rise, but not to 100%, adjust the accelerator
cable that attaches to the accelerator device.
