For any questions on any of the information, contact an E-Z-GO representative for clarification, Always replace any damaged or missing labels. ‘On steep hills it is possible for vehicles to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface. To pre- vent loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury, speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum speed ‘on level ground. (See vehicle specification.) Limit speed by applying the service brake. Catastrophic damage to the drive train components due to excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle above specified speed. Damage caused by excessive speed may cause a loss of vehicle contol, is costly, is considered abuse and will not be covered under warranty. Use extra caution when towing the vehicle(s). Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12 mph (19 kph). Do not tow more than three vehicles at a time. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multiple vehicles. Towing the vehicle at above the recommended speed may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle and other prop- erty. Vehicles equipped with Precision Drive System’ (PDS) must be towed with the Run-Tow/Maintenance switch, located under the passenger seat, in the ‘Tow’ position. If the vehicle is to be used in a commercial environment, signs similar to the ones illustrated should be used to warn of situations that could result in an unsafe condition.

The use of non original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts may void the warranty. Overfilling of batteries may void the warranty. BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE All batteries will self discharge over time. The rate of self discharge varies depending on the ambient temperature and the age and condition of the batteries. A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the temperature falls below -75° F (-60° C). For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and disconnected from any source of electrical drain. The battery charger and the controller are both sources of electrical drain. Unplug the battery charger DC plug from the vehicle receptacle. On Precision Drive System™ vehicles, disconnect the controller from the battery set by selecting the ‘TOW/MAINTENANCE’ position on the RUN-TOW/MAINTENANCE SWITCH located under the passenger seat. As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged as required, or at a minimum of 30 day intervals.

PART II MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS 5. GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES. 5.1. Introduction Like other machines, golf cars can cause injury if improp- erly used or maintained. This section contains broad safety practices recommended for safe golf car opera- tions. Before operation, the controlling party should establish such additional specific safety practices as may be reasonably required for safe operations. Experience has shown that golf cars which comply with the provisions stated in Part Il of this Standard are safe when properly operated in accordance with the safety and operation warnings affixed to every golf car. The safe operation is enhanced when the golf cars are operated within a specific set of operation instructions, safety rules and practices established to meet actual operating ter- rain and conditions, ‘The safety information contained in Part Il is intended to provide the controlling party with basic safety information and to encourage the controlling party to implement a golf car safety program, It is suggested and recommended that Part I be reprinted in the golf car manufacturer’s operation and service manuals to encourage safe operations and prac- tices at the controlling party's facility 5.2. Safety Survey The controlling party shall perform a safety survey peri- odically, and as conditions warrant to their premises, to identity areas where golf cars should not be operated and to identity possible hazards. 5.2.1. Steep Grade In areas where steep grades exist, golf car operations should be restricted to the designated golf car pathways where possible, and shall be identified with a suitable warning giving the following information: “Warning, steep grade, descend slowly with one foot on brake.” 5. . Wet Areas Wet grassy areas may cause a gol car to lose traction and may affect stability. Wet areas shall be chained or roped off to prevent golt car operations or be identiied by a suitable waming not to operate golf cars in this area due to wet terrain, 5.2.3. Sharp Approaches Turns, Blind Corners, Bridge Sharp turns, blind spots, bridge approaches and other potentially hazardous areas shall ba either chained or roped off to prevent goif car operations or identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the nature of the hazard and stating the proper precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard, 5. . Loose Terrain Loose terrain may cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Areas of loose terrain should be repaired if possible, or chained or roped off to prevent olf car operation or identified by a sultable warning to ‘operators not to operate golf cars in this area due to loose terrain or possible hazardous conditions. 5.2.5. Golf Car/Pedestrian Interference Areas ‘Areas where pedestrians and golf cars interfere shall be avoided whenever possible by rerouting the golf car traf- fic or the pedestrian traffic to eliminate the interference. It ‘elimination of the interference is not possible or is highly impractical, signs shall be erected warning pedestrians of the golf car traffic and golf car operators of the pedes- trian traffic and to drive slowly and use extreme caution. lezen) Repair and Service Manual Page B-1SAFETY Read all of Secon A and this section before attempting any procecue, Pay partculratenton to al Notes, Cautions and Warnings 6.

Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of batteries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%. Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it wil collect in the ceiling of buildings neces- sitating proper ventilation. Five air exchanges per hour is considered the minimum requirement. Be sure that the key switch is off and all electrical accessories are tured off before starting work on vehicle. The batteries should always be removed before any servicing or repairs that will generate sparks. Never disconnect a circuit under load at a battery terminal. Batteries are heavy. Use prop- er lifting techniques when moving them. Always lift the battery with @ commercially available battery lifting device. Use care not to tip batteries when removing or installing them; spilled electrolyte can cause burns and damage. The electrolyte in a storage battery Is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with clear water. Contact a physician immediately. ‘Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water or charging batteries, Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 1/4 cup (60 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 1/2 gallons (6 liters) of water and flushed with water. Overfiliing batteries may result in electrolyte being expelled from the battery during the charge aycle Expelled electrolyte may cause damage 0 the vehicle and storage facility. Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to prevent the possibility of a dropped wrench from ‘shorting ‘out’ a battery, which could result in an explosion and severe personal injury or death. Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant ‘must be used with extreme care. Insulate metal container to prevent can from contacting battery terminals which could result in an explosion.

Itis important to use a sharp drill bit when removing the rivets on the side of the vehicle, Extreme care ‘must be used when drilling out the rivets located in the front of the body and the bottom side of the body. Excessive pressure could result in the drill bit being forced through the body panel and penetrating a bat- tery. As extra protection, it is recommended that a protective piece of sheet metal be placed between the battery and the rivet. Use of a drill depth stop will pro- vide adaitional protection. In general, body component replacement can be accom- plished with a minimum of specialized tools. Most body ‘components are held in place with conventional remov- able hardware (nuts, bolts, washers and screws). Some components are mounted with ‘pop’ rivets which require that the rivet head be removed in order to push out the shank of the rivet. The rivet head is easily removed by drilling into the head with a sharp drill bit that is slightly ead all of Secon 8 and ths secon belore attempting any procedure.

A tire explosion can FT NUZNETINEY'W cause severe injury or death. Never exceed inflation pressure rating on tire sidewall. To prevent tire explosion, pressurize tire with small amount of air applied intermittently to seat beads. Never exceed the tire manufacturer's rec- ‘ommendation when seating a bead. Protect face and eyes from escaping air when removing valve core. Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of these small tires, overinflation can ‘occur in a matter of seconds. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the tire to explode, either of which could cause personal injury. Use caution when inflating tires. Due tothe low volume of these small tires, overiflation can occur in a matter of seconds. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the rim or cause the tire to explode, either of which could cause personal injury. Tire inflation should be determined by the condition of the terrain. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for recommended tre inflaion pressure, For outdoor appi- cations with major use on grassy areas, the following should be considered. On hard turf, it is desirable to have a slightly higher inflation pressure. On very soft turf, a lower pressure prevents tires from cutting into the tur. For vehicles being used on paved or hard surfaces, tite inflation pressure should be in the higher allowable range, but under no condition should inflation pressure be higher than recommended on tire sidewall. All four tires should have the same pressure for optimum han- dling characteristics. Be careful not to overinflate. Due to the low volume of these small tires, overinflation can ‘occur in a matter of seconds. Be sure to install the valve dust cap after checking or inflating, Tire Repair The vehicle is fited with low pressure tubeless tires mounted on one piece rims. Generally, the most cost effective way to repair a fat tre resulting from a puncture in the tread portion ofthe tire is to use a commercial tire plug Tire plug tools and plugs are available at most NOTE) siomoive parts outots and have the advan tage of not requiring the tre be removed from the wheel. If the tire is flat, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the maximum recommended pressure for the tire. Immerse the tire in water to locate the leak and mark with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. Ifthe tire is to be removed or mounted, the tire changing machine manufacturer's recommendations must be fol- lowed in order to minimize possibilty of personal injury, To prevent injury, be FINO ZNCISINEYW sure mounting/demount- jing machine is anchored to floor.

Pay particular atenton to al Notes, Cautions and Warnings GENERAL ‘The Electronic Speed Control system consists of two separate units, the pedal box and the controller. Pedal Box ‘The Pedal Box assembly is a modularized unit that con: tains the accelerator pedal, return spring and an enclosed box that contains the pedal position micro switch and a solid state Inductive Throttle Sensor (ITS) that is activated by a moving plunger attached to the accelerator pedal. To access the pedal box, remove the rocker panel, lft the floor mat, and remove the access cover from the floor (Ref Fig. 1 on page E-1). The ITS and plunger are accessed by removing the top cover from the enclosed pedal box, Rocker Panel “Access Cover Floor Mat, Fig. 1 Access to Pedal Box Controller ‘The Controller is a solid state unit activated by a sole- noid. Both are located under the seat on the passenger side of the vehicle. ‘A diode is positioned between the two coil terminals of the solenoid. Its orientation is critical. The cathode side of the diode, identified with a silver band, is oriented to ‘The pedal box and controller are connected by a four pin connector that is located under the seat within the black plastic environmental cover. ‘The controller is wired to the batteries and develops a regulated power supply for the ITS. The plunger position relative to the ITS varies the voltage which is fed back to the controller which interprets the change in voltage and supplies the appropriate power to the motor. ‘The ITS unit and the controller are both solid state units that contain no user serviceable parts. The testing pro- cedures are designed to test the basic functionality of the power and control wiring systems. Once the functionality of the wiring has been confirmed, the remaining tests are used to identify which of the compo- rents (controller or ITS) must be replaced. 1206 CONTROLLER ‘See Wiring Diagram at end of section for wire connections Resistor Fig. 2 Controller and Solenoid GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING the solenoid terminal with the red wire attached (Ref Fig. Too!

Allen wrench, .050" ‘Symptoms Vehicle does not operate, operates poorly or intermit- tently, Testing Itis unlikely that the mechanical adjustment of the pedal box has changed, therefore the initial tests will be con- ducted with a digital volt ohm meter (OVOM) to identity the failed component. ‘A ypical DVOM is shown in illustrations. A recom- mended DVOM is available through the E-Z-GO Service Parts Department as P/N 27481-GO1. Any DVOM may be used; however, the accuracy, controls, displays and features may vary depending on the make and model. ‘Always follow the meter manufacturer's recommenda- tions and instructions for the use and care of the meter. To assure accurate readings, be sure to set the meter to the closest voltage reading above the expected voltage. To prevent injury result- yIWICUISINEY NW ing from unexpected movement of the vehicle, always raise the rear wheels before conducting any tests. To prevent possible motor damage, never operate vehicle at full throttle for more than 4-5 seconds while vehicle is in a “no-load” condition. Raise the rear wheels of the vehicle and support on jack stands (Refer to the Lifting Procedure in Section ‘B’ Safety). Test the vehicle stability before proceeding. Place the direction selector in ‘F’ and turn the key switch to ‘ON’. Depress the accelerator pedal until the micro ‘witch in the pedal box activates which should cause the solenoid to make an audible cick. Testing Battery Voltage itis important to determine the condition of the battery set before proceeding with any electrical troubleshooting. ‘An open voltage test is of litle use since a battery that ‘as deteriorated to the point of requiring replacement 2an still show six volts or higher in an open voltage test. If there is any doubt as to the adequacy of the battery set, sharge the batteries and perform a load test using a dis- sharge machine following manufacturers instructions. If aatteries are satisfactory, recharge battery set. With the adequacy of the batteries confirmed, use a DVOM connected directly to the battery terminal posts to determine the open voltage of the set (Ref Fig. 3 on page E-2). In the following tests, this voltage level will be used asa reference, Some loss due to resistance or wires and connectors may be indicated by readings that could be 4p to one volt less than the reference voltage. No reading nidicates an “open” condition and the battery wires should be inspected for a broken or disconnected wire or somponent. 3124 Battery Reference Voltage Positive Probe Negative Probe toBL- Fig. 3 Battery Reference Voltage Page E-2 Repair and Service Manual Gass)ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL (NON-PDS) Fea allof Section Band his secton beer attempting any pocedure. Pay pateularatenton foal Notes, Caution and Warnings Continuity Check To prevent possible inju- FI NIZNGISISEY Wry or death resulting from a battery explo- sion, use an insulated wrench and remove the BL- Lad a the battery to disconnect electrical power to vehicle. Before attempting to perform a continuity check, turn the key switch to ‘OFF’ and place the direction selec- tor in neutral. Ifthe solenoid does not function, the pedal micro switch, neutral micro switch (direction selector switch), solenoid, key switch and four pin connector should be checked for continuity Tum the key switch to ‘OFF" and place the direction selector in neutral before disconnecting power by remov- jing the B+ connection to the battery. Always use insu- lated wrenches when working on batteries. To check for continuity, set the DVOM to the KA setting and select ‘Continuity’. The meter will give an audible signal when it detects continuity. If the meter does not have a continuity setting, set it to KO, the meter will indicate “0" when it detects continuity. Testing a Switch for Continuity Place one probe on one contact of the switch, place the second probe on the second terminal of the switch (Ret Fig. 4 on page E-3). Actuating a normally open (NO) switch will cause the DVOM to show “0” or give an audible indication when the switch is operated, A normally closed (NC) switch will cause the meter to show *0" or give an audible indication when the probes are attached without activating switch: The audible indicator will stop and the meter display will indicate a value greater than “0” when the switch is acti- vated. ‘The change in display or audible indicator demonstrates thatthe switch is functioning Testing a Solenoid for Continuity Place one probe on one of the large terminals and the ther probe on the second large terminal (Ref Fig. 5 on page E-3). If the meter shows ‘0" or gives an audible indication, the solenoid terminals are “welded” closed and the solenoid must be replaced. If the continuity test indicates that contacts are not “welded” and the wiring to the solenoid coil is good, the coil has failed and the solenoid must be replaced.

Pay particular atenton to al Notes, Cautions and Warnings PRECISION DRIVE SYSTEM™ GENERAL Precision Drive System (PDS) vehicles are operated in ‘one of four modes or “performance options”. The option of the vehicle is determined by which “option plug” is installed in the Electronic Speed Control Assembly. The options are defined as follows: 4. The All-Terrain performance option: The motor's speed is sensed and regulated to 13.2 mph (21 kph) directly by the controller, the vehicle's flat ground speed will not change with different ground surfaces. The speed sensor also allows for precise control of the downhill vehicle speed during compression brak ing. As the vehicle crests a hill and begins to descend, the speed will be smoothly regulated to 13.2 mph (21 kph). This option is enabled when there is a blank plug installed. 2, The Steep Hill performance option: This option includes all of the driving features of the All-Terrain option plus compression braking. Compression brak ing occurs when the throttle is released while the vehicle is moving. The motor will electrically retard the motion of the vehicle until the throttle is depressed aaain or the vehicle stops. This is the strongest of the two compression braking options. This is also a 13.2 mph (21 koh) option. This option is enabled when the biue plug is installed. 3, The Mild Hill performance option: This option includes all of the driving features of the Steep Hill option, except that the compression braking feel is milder, and the flat ground compression braking speeds are 14.25 mph (23 kph) instead of 13.2 mph (21 kph). This option is enabled when the yellow plug is installed. 4, The Freedom performance option: This option includes all of the driving features of the All-Terrain option except that the flat ground and downhill com- pression braking speeds are 18 mph (29 kph) instead of 13.2 mph (21 kph). This option is enabled when the red plug is installed. THIS OPTION IS NOT OFFERED ON FLEET VEHICLES. The vehicle performance option can be determined with- out removing the ESC cover by placing the vehicle in diagnostic mode (See diagnostic mode instructions). The number of beeps heard immediately after entering diag- nostic mode corresponds to the option per the above option numbers. Performance options of the Precision Drive System include: + Anti-Roll back to limit backward motion of the vehicle down an inctine to less than 2 mph (3 kph) © Walk-Away to limit vehicle movement without driver input, slowing the vehicle to 2 mph (3 kph) and sounding an audible alarm (reverse beeper) © Anti-Stall protection to prevent commutator dam- age from stalling the vehicle against an object or on a hill * High pedal disable to prevent undesired accelera- tion if the direction selector lever is changed, or the key is turned on while the accelerator is depressed * Diagnostic mode to ease troubleshooting PRECISION DRIVE SYSTEM™ PERFORMANCE OPTIONS & DIAGNOSTICS Performance] Top Speed [Compression] Anti-Stall Option Braking | Protection Strength ‘Aitewan [13-135 mph [None Yes (21-22 kph) Steep Hl [13-135 mph | Heavy Yes (21-22 koh) Mid Hil [14-145 mph [Mild Yes (22.5 -23 kh) Freedom [17-1amph [None Yes (27 -30.5 kph) Changing Performance Options ‘The performance option may be changed i the existing cption is not compatible with the terrain that the vehicle willbe operated 1.

Place a new performance option label (colored dot) fon the outside of the ESC environmental cover to indicate the new option. ‘At monthly intervals, test the PDS system by allowing the vehicle to roll down an incline with the accelerator pedal released. Braking force should be felt at approximately 2 mph (3 kph) indicating that the PDS system is function- ing. If vehicle speed continues to rise, apply the service brake to control speed and proceed with diagnostic check. The PDS vehicle has the ability to diagnose and report several common golf car fault modes. These faults are reported through the reverse waming beeper with a sequence of beeps. The faults are reported with the vehi- le in ‘diagnostic mode’ Diagnostic mode can only be entered through five con- secutive neutral-reverse selections with the key switch tured off and the vehicle stopped. Approximately two seconds after the fith selection, the controller will report the performance option that itis equipped with a single series of beeps. One purpose in this function is to verity that diagnostic mode has been successfully initiated. The other purpose is to allow verification of which perfor- mance option the vehicle is equipped with without remov- ing the ESC environmental cover. ‘Once in diagnostic mode, the vehicle will continue to ‘operate as it did before, only now it will audibly report any faults detected. The faults are reported as a series of short beeps followed by a pause and then another series of short beeps. The number of beeps in each series con- stitute the fault code. For example: three short beeps fol- lowed by a pause, and then two more short beeps would indicate fault code 3-2. To exit diagnostic mode, turn the Run-Tow/Maintenance switch from ‘RUN’ to ‘TOW/MAIN- TENANCE” and back to ‘RUN’ again. Charing the vehicle wil also deactivate the [NOTE] prose moc, ‘The two-position ‘Run-Tow/Maintenance’ switch is located under the passenger side of the seat on the ESC ‘environmental cover (Ref Fig. 1 on page F-2). PRECISION DRIVE SYSTEM™ OPERATION With the switch in TOW/MAINTENANCE: position: * the controller is deactivated * the electronic braking system is deactivated which allows the vehicle to be towed or roll freely © the warning beeper is deactivated Run-Tow/Maintenance Switch Controller Environmental Cover Fig. 1 Run-Tow/Maintenance Switch With the switch in ‘RUN’ position: * the controller is activated ‘the electronic braking system and warning beeper features are activated NOTE] 725 vehicles operate only in the ‘RUN’ posi tion, It all of the following events occur with the switch in RUN’ position ') the vehicle has been stopped for more than one second ») the accelerator pedal has been released for more than one second ©) the vehicle begins to roll above 2 mph (3 kph) the electronic braking will limit speed to approximately 2 ‘nph (3 kph) and the warning beeper will sound. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the electronic brak- ‘ng and warning beeper will be overridden and normal vehicle operation resumes. Any unusual situation sensed ay the PDS system will cause a similar response. The system functions in all key switch positions The PDS system is not a PNUENEININE WY substitute for the ser- vice brake which should be used to control speed and reduce possibility of injury. If all of the following events occur with the switch in RUN’ position 2) the vehicle is being driven down a slope ») the vehicle speed exceeds the designed speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or released (except options equipped with compression brak- ing) Page F-2 Repair and Service Manual Gass)ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL (PDS) Fea allof Section Band his secton beer attempting any pocedure. Pay pateularatenton foal Notes, Caution and Warnings the electronic braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the designed speed range (the warning beeper will not sound). When the electronic braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned to the batteries. PDS models are equipped with a regenerative motor control system. The motor's speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller. As a vehicle begins to accelerate while descending a hil, the speed sensor will cause the motor to electrically retard the speed of the vehicle through regenerative braking. Ifthe operator attempts to override the electronic braking feature by moving the direction selector or key switch to another position, the warning beeper will sound and the vehicle will brake rapidly until it reaches the speed of approximately 2 mph (3 kph). The PDS system also incorporates an anti-stall protec- tion feature that prevents commutator damage from stall ing the vehicle against an obstacle or ascending a hil. The electrical power to the motor willbe interrupted inter- mittently allowing the vehicle to roll a short distance, thereby allowing the internal components of the motor to move before damage can be done. ‘The Steep and Mild Hill option (See chart on page 1) fea~ tures different degrees of compression breaking that takes place any time that accelerator pedal is released. The Steep Hill option will rapidly slow the vehicle to a stop unless the accelerator pedal is depressed. The Mild Hill option will slow the vehicle to a stop at a slower rate unless the accelerator pedal is depressed. ‘The PDS is a low power consumption unit butit will drain the vehicle batteries over a period of time. If the vehicle is to be stored for a prolonged period of time, the PDS should be disconnected from the batteries by selecting the ‘TOWIMAINTENANCE® position on the Run-Tow/ Maintenance switch located under the passenger seat The Electronic Speed Control system consists of three separate units, a pedal box, speed sensor and controller. Pedal Box ‘The pedal box assembly is a modularized unit that con: tains the accelerator pedal, return spring and an enclosed box that contains the pedal position micro switch and a solid state Inductive Throttle Sensor (ITS) that is activated by a moving plunger attached to the accelerator pedal. To access the pedal box, remove the rocker panel, lft the floor mat, and remove the access cover from the floor (Ref Fig. 2 on page F-3). The ITS and plunger are accessed by removing the four screws and top cover from the enclosed pedal box. Rocker Panel “Access Cover Floor Mat, 2 Access to Pedal Box Speed Sensor ‘The speed sensor uses a sealed sensor to read the impulses of a ring magnet attached to the armature shaft of the motor. Magnetic pulses are converted into electri- cal signals which the controller uses to determine the motor speed. Controller ‘The controller is a solid state unit that activates a sole- Noid and controls the function of the vehicle by respond- ing to inputs from the ITS and motor speed sensor. The controller and solenoid are located within an environ- mental cover/heatsink under the seat on the passenger side of the vehicle (Ref Fig. 3 on page F-3). 1206MX Controller ‘See Wiring Diagram at end of section for wire connections Fig. 3 Controller and Solenoid lezen) Repair and Service Manual Page F-3ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL (PDS) Read lof Section Band this section before attempting any procecue, Pay partculratenton to al Notes, Cautions and Warnings ‘The pedal box is connected to the controller through a four pin plug at J4 on the controller. The speed sensor is ‘connected to the controller through a three pin plug at J5 (Ref Fig. 8 on page F-8) ‘The controller is wired to the batteries and develops a regulated power supply for the ITS. The plunger position relative to the ITS varies the voltage which is fed back to the controller which interprets the change in voltage and. supplies the appropriate power to the motor. ‘The ITS unit and the controller are both solid state units that contain no user serviceable parts. The testing pro- cedures are designed to test the basic functionality of the power and control wiring systems. Once the functionality of the wiring has been confirmed, the remaining tests are used to identify which of the compo- nents (controller or ITS) must be replaced.

When the controller is alaced in the diagnostic mode, the reverse warning auzzer will emit a series of beeps informing the techni- sian to the cause of the vehicle malfunction. To place the vehicle in the diagnostic mode, with the key 1 the ‘OFF" position, move the ‘Run-Tow/Maintenance’ Switch to the 'RUN' position, move the Direction Selector ‘rom ‘Neutral’ to ‘Reverse’ five times. The first series of beeps (one, two, three or four) will indi- zate the performance option with which the vehicle is aquipped. The second series of beeps will indicate the ‘ault code (one, two, three or four followed by a pause and one, two, three or four more beeps). By reading the decal attached to the controller cover, or by reading the PDS Diagnostic Mode Fault Code chart (Ref Fig. 7 on gage F-7), the fault, its symptom(s) and corrective action ‘0 be taken can be found. itis, therefore, critical to the diagnostic procedure that tne buzzer be operational and can be verified by placing the vehicle in reverse. To check, repair or replace the auzzer, see the PDS Diagnostic Mode Fault Codes chart. itis unlikely that the mechanical adjustment of the pedal 2ox has changed, therefore the initial tests will be con- ‘ducted with a digital volt ohm meter (DVOM) to identity the failed component. ‘ typical DVOM jis shown in illustrations. A recom- mended DVOM is available through the E-Z-GO Service Parts Department as P/N 27481-G01. Any DVOM may pe used; however, the accuracy, controls, displays and ‘eatures may vary depending on the make and model. Always follow the meter manufacturer's recommenda- ‘ions and instructions for the use and care of the meter. To assure accurate readings, be sure to set the meter to the closest voltage reading above the expected voltage. To prevent injury result- WINUZAININEY NW ing from unexpected movement ofthe vehicle, always raise the rear wheels before conducting any tests. To prevent possible motor damage, never operate Vehicle at full throttle for more than 4-5 seconds while vehicle is in a “no-load” condition. For static tests, raise the rear wheels of the vehicle and support the vehicle on jack stands (Refer to the Lifting Procedure in Section ‘B’ Safety). Test the vehicle stability defore proceeding. Place the direction selector in ‘F' and turn the key switch to ‘ON’.

Pay pateularatenton foal Notes, Caution and Warnings solenoid mounted to the controller to make an audible click. If the solenoid does not click, test the batteries. Testing Battery Voltage It is important to determine the condition of the battery set before proceeding with any electrical troubleshooting. ‘An open voltage test is of litle use since a battery that has deteriorated to the point of requiring replacement can still show six volts or higher in an open voltage test. It there is any doubt as to the adequacy of the battery set, charge the batteries and perform a load test using a dis- charge machine following manufacturer's instructions. If batteries ate satisfactory, recharge battery set. 3124 Patorenco Voltage Positive Probe toBL+ Fig. 4 Battery Reference Voltage With the adequacy of the batteries confirmed, use a DVOM connected directly to the battery terminal posts to determine the open voltage of the set (Ref Fig. 4 on page F-5). In the following tests, this voltage level will be used as a reference. Some loss due to resistance of wires and connectors may be indicated by readings that could be up to one volt less than the reference voltage. No reading indicates an “open” condition and the battery wires should be inspected for a broken or disconnected wire or ‘component. Continuity Check To prevent possible inju- FINENESS ry or death resulting from a battery explo- sion, use an insulated wrench and remove the BL- ite rom the batery to disconnect electrical power to vehicle. Before attempting to perform a continuity check, turn the key switch to ‘OFF and place the direction selec- tor in neutral. Before any electrical service is per- CAUTION ea ko Run-TowiMaintenance switch must be placed in the ‘Tow/Mainte- nance’ position. a power wire (battery, motor or controller) is disconnected for ‘any reason on the PDS model vehicle, the Run-Tow Maintenance ‘switch must be left in the ‘Tow/Maintenance’ position for atleast 30 seconds after the circuit is restored. Tur the key switch to ‘OFF’ and place the direction selector in neutral before disconnecting power by remov- ing the BL- connection to the battery. Always use insu- lated wrenches when working on batteries. To check for continuity, set the DVOM to the KQ setting and select, ‘Continuity’. The meter will give an audible signal when it detects continuity. If the meter does not have a continuity setting, set it to KO, the meter will indicate "0" when it detects continuity Testing a Switch for Continuity Place one probe on one contact of the switch, place the ‘second probe on the second terminal of the switch (Ref Fig. 5 on page F-6) ‘Actuating a normally open (NO) switch will cause the DVOM to show '0” or give an audible indication when the switch is operated. A normally closed (NC) switch will cause the meter to show *0" or give an audible indication when the probes are attached without activating switch. The audible indicator will stop and the meter display will indicate a value greater than “0" when the switch is acti vated. The change in display or audible indicator demonstrates that the switch is functioning.
