Step 2: Diagnostic “Flash Codes”
If a system trip occurs, you can find out what has happened by counting the number of bars on the battery gauge
that are flashing.
Below is a list of self-help actions. Go to the number in the list which matches the number of flashing bars to
diagnose the problem. Follow the troubleshooting instruction for each specific flash code to repair the unit.
If the problem persists after you have made the repairs, contact
