Rascal Frontier Diagnostic Functions
Your Scooter Controller provides diagnostic information in the form of flash-codes. The lamp on the battery
indicator flashes to indicate a problem has been detected. On switching on, the controller conducts a diagnos-
tic test. While this test is in progress the lamp will flash and, if no fault is detected it will remain on. If there is a
fault, the lamp will flash a sequence of flashes to indicate what the fault is.
