If a fault occurs, you can find out what has happened by counting the number of bars on the battery gauge that are flashing. VSI Controller 1 bar: Low battery or a bad connection. Try recharging the battery. 2 bars: Bad connection to left motor. 3 bars: Short circuit, left motor to battery. 4 bars: Bad connection to right motor. 5 bars: Short circuit, right motor to battery. 6 bars: Check if battery charger is still connected to controller or controller fault. 7 bars: Joystick fault. 8 bars: Controller fault. 9 bars: Problem with brake circuit. Check that manual brake release levers are in the drive position and power seat lift is lowered (if equipped). 10 bars: An excessive voltage to the control system. This is usually caused by a poor battery connection. 10 bars Rapid Flash: Powered up when joystick deflected. Restart with joystick in neutral. 10 bars, Three Second Blink: Control is in sleep mode. Press OFF/ON twice to restart. Speed Bars Cycling: Controller locked. Speed Bars Flashing: Power seat lift is inhibiting drive. Lower the seat.
