XI. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
The diagnostic flash codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic
troubleshooting quickly and easily. A diagnostic flash code can be displayed in one of
two ways:
A light labeled "Diagnostic" on the control panel will flash
The battery indicator light farthest to the left on the battery gauge (red light)
will flash
Please refer to the diagram below for flash codes, description of problem, and

red light flashing 3 followed by 2, then repeats
A red light flashing 3 times followed by 2 times on a Drive Bobcat X3 indicates two separate flash codes:
- Flash Code 3: Motor Wiring Trip – Check motor connections.
- Flash Code 2: Motor Disconnect – Disconnect and reconnect the front and rear section.
After performing the recommended actions, turn the scooter off and back on to clear the codes. If the problem persists, another issue may be present.
