CHECK MOTOR WINDINGS:
Set your VOM to RESISTANCE (Ω).
To test the resistance of VOM leads, please touch the meter leads together.
Subtract this measurement from each test below to get your true measurement.
With motor disconnected, measure A1 to A2. This should measure approximately BETWEEN .2Ω and 2Ω.
With motor disconnected, measure F1 to F2. This should measure approximately BETWEEN .8Ω and 3Ω.
With motor disconnected, measure A1 to F1. This should measure OPEN.
With motor disconnected, measure F1 to motor case. This should measure greater than 5MΩ.
CHECK MAIN SOLENOID:
Disconnect all wires from the main solenoid.
Set your VOM to RESISTANCE (Ω).
Measure the solenoid coil. This should measure 100Ω - 250Ω (depending on solenoid type).
Connect VOM leads to the main solenoid lugs.
Attach jumpers from main battery positive and negative to the coil (small terminals).
Meter should jump from infinity to LESS THAN .3Ω.
Remove jumpers and reconnect solenoid wiring from the harness. (If suppression diode is present,
the non-banded side must go to the wire from J1 pin 17 from the controller. Be sure to check diode
functionality with VOM prior to install. If pre-charge resister is installed, please remove. This control is
equipped with an internal resistor, and installing one on the solenoid could cause damage to the control.)
CHECK THE CART WIRE HARNESS:
Check the connectors on the wire harness for corrosion, loose, broken, burnt or missing pins.
Repair or replace pins as necessary.
STEPS TO PERFORM BEFORE CONTROL INSTALLATION
Curtis 1268-5411
This sheet is provided to aid in the installation of your remanufactured CURTIS controller.
Upon installation, you may encounter problems that may, or may not, be due to a faulty
controller. The following steps must be taken to help diagnose a possible cart fault or faulty
controller. An analog or digital volt ohm meter (VOM) will be needed to perform these checks.
WARRANTY WILL BE VOID
If These Steps are Not Performed Before Installing The Control
IF ANY OF THE ABOVE ITEMS ARE NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED RANGES THE CONTROLLER WILL FAIL.
THESE ITEMS MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE THE CONTROLLER IS INSTALLED OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.
It is recommended to replace your solenoid at the time of controller replacement. FSIP now stocks popular replacement White Rodgers solenoids for your convenience.

Generic Golf (1268-5411) Troubleshooting Sequence
FOR SAFETY, ALWAYS LIFT THE DRIVE WHEELS OFF THE GROUND WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING!
THE FOLLOWING TESTS ARE CONDUCTED WITH RUN-TOW/MAINTENANCE SWITCH IN THE RUN POSITION AND
WITH A GOOD BATTERY PACK VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT. ALSO, THE CONNECTOR MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE
CONTROLLER WHEN MAKING THESE CHECKS. YOU WILL NEED TO ‘BACK PROBE’ THE PINS FROM THE WIRE SIDE
OF THE CONNECTOR. USE A PAPERCLIP IF NECESSARY.
Attach Voltmeter Negative (-) lead to main Battery Negative (-) for the following tests.
Use the following sequence when checking individual pins (don’t skip steps). If you find a fault, do not move on
to the next step until the fault is corrected:
Measure the voltage at the main battery positive post (let’s call it Pack Voltage)
Pin J1-4 Must be Pack Voltage
-If not Pack Voltage, check wiring, Run/Tow switch and fuse for an open condition
Pin J1-2 With charger disconnected, must be Pack Voltage
-If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and charger interlock switch for an open condition
Pin J1-1 With Key Switch Off, must be equal to 0 volts
-If not 0 volts, check wiring, and Key Switch for a shorted condition
Pin J1-1 With Key Switch On, must be Pack Voltage
-If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and Key Switch for an open condition
Pin J1-17 Must be Pack Voltage
-If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and solenoid coil (small terminals) for an open condition
Pin J1-10 With F/R Switch in Reverse, must equal 0 volts
-If not 0 volts, check wiring and F/R Switch for a shorted condition
Pin J1-10 With F/R Switch in Forward, must equal Pack Voltage
-If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and F/R Switch for an open condition
Pin J1-11 With F/R Switch in Forward, must equal 0 volts
-If not 0 volts, check wiring and F/R Switch for a shorted condition
Pin J1-11 With F/R Switch in Reverse must equal Pack Voltage
-If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and F/R Switch for an open condition
Pin J1-8 With Pedal Up, must equal 0 volts
-If not 0 volts, check wiring and Pedal Switch for a shorted condition
Pin J1-8 With Pedal Down, must equal Pack Voltage
-If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and Pedal Switch for an open condition
Pin J1-19 With F/R Switch in Neutral, must equal approximately Pack Voltage
-If not approximately Pack Voltage, check wiring and Reverse Alarm for an open condition
Pin J1-19 With F/R Switch in Reverse, must equal less than approximately 1 volt (and backup alarm beeps)
-If correct voltage, but no sound from reverse alarm, replace beeper
Pin J1-13 With Key Switch on, must equal 14 to 15 volts
-If not 14 to 15 volts, remove ITS sensor and recheck. If voltage returns to 14 to 15 volts, replace
ITS sensor. If voltage does not return to 14 to 15 volts, controller may be defective

LED DISANOSTICS
A built-in Status LED is visible through a window in the label on top of the controller. When the controller detects a fault, the
Status LED flashes the 2-digit fault code. The code is flashed continuously until the fault is corrected. For example, code “3,2” –
welded main contactor –appears as:
(3, 2) (3, 2) (3, 2)
Helpful Hints
DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF MOTOR RESISTANCE CHECKS AND MAIN SOLENOID CHECKS.
MANY CART ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY BURNT/DAMAGED BRUSHES THAT WILL BE FOUND AS PART OF THE
ARMATURE RESISTANCE CHECK. ALSO A SHORTED ARMATURE AND FIELD WITHIN THE MOTOR WILL DAMAGE
THIS CONTROLLER.
