GENERAL INFORMATION
All DS V-Glide electric vehicles are equipped with 36-volt DC, series wound, reversible traction motors. If the
motor should require major repair, it should be sent to a qualified motor repair shop; however, there are many
minor repairs that can be made by a trained technician.
EXTERNAL MOTOR TESTING
The following tests can be performed using a multimeter or continuity tester without disassembling the motor.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Tag the motor wires for identification before disconnecting.
TEST PROCEDURE 1 – INTERNAL SHORT CIRCUITS
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Disconnect wires from terminals on motor using two wrenches to prevent the post from turning.
3. Set a multimeter to 200
Ω
(ohms) and place the black (–) probe on the motor housing. Scratch through
the paint to ensure a good connection. Place the red (+) probe on the A1, A2, S1, and S2 terminals
respectively (Figure 15-1, Page 15-2). Multimeter should indicate no continuity. If the readings are incor-
rect, the motor will need to be removed from the vehicle and repaired by a qualified technician. See
Motor Removal on page 15-3.
3.1. An incorrect reading from the A1 or A2 terminal indicates three possible problems: a grounded A1
or A2 terminal, a grounded wire in the brush area, or a grounded armature/commutator. An incor-
rect reading for the S1 or S2 terminal indicates a possible grounded S1 or S2 terminal or field coil.
