Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems
that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems
occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer
hold a charge.
DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly
and easily. A diagnostic flash code flashes from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed
below develops.
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the scooter has been
turned off then turned back on.
