Basic Troubleshooting - Drive Spitfire Scout Owner's Manual

XII. 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 a 2 digit fault.
Please refer to the diagram below for flash codes, description of problem, and
recommended actions.
Flash Code Description
1,1 Thermal Fault
1,2 Throttle Fault
1,3 Speed Pot Fault
1,4 Low Voltage
2,3 Main Fault
3,2 Brake Fault
3,4 Throttle Fault
4,5 Battery Fault
Once the recommended action is taken, turn the scooter off and then back on again to
clear the flash code. If the problem was not corrected, or another problem exists the
controller may display another flash code.
ATTENTION – Your scooter may have a diagnostic light on the tiller that
will stay on constantly. The light will begin to flash when you have a
serviceable item.
