Scoot r Diagnostic Functions
Your Scooter Controller provi es iagnostic information in the form of flash-co es. The lamp on the battery
in icator flashes to in icate a problem has been etecte . On switching on, the controller con ucts a
iagnostic test. While this test is in progress the lamp will flash an , if no fault is etecte it will remain on.
If there is a fault, the lamp will flash a sequence of flashes to in icate what the fault is.
So for instance if the lamp flashes twice in short succession an then again twice in short succession, this
in icates a ba motor connection. If the lamp flashes 8 times there is a problem with the controller.
