Troubleshooting
Diagnostic System
The speed display on the joystick also functions as a diagnostic indicator for
your power chair. When the light is green, the power chair is functioning
correctly, and if it starts flickering, then there’s an issue.
1. If it’s the first time that the indicator is flickering, power off the
power chair, turn it on after a few seconds and recheck the diagnostic
indicator. If it continues to flicker, then refer to the diagnostic chart for
more information.
2. Issues from motor, brake, battery, wire connection and other parts of the
power chair can 54
trigger the diagnostic indicator to flicker.
3. There will be a pause after the initial flickering, follow the flickering
pattern to find out which part is causing the problem from the diagnostic
chart.
