DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostics feature of your Golden Patriot microprocessor based motor control board
functions as follows:
• Any fault condition with the controller or with an associated system will cause the scooter
to beep.
• The number of beeps in each series is referred to as the “Beep Code.”
• The beep code indicates the nature of the condition or fault.
BEEP CODES
The S-Drive controller uses audible beeps to indicate the status of the system. When the
controller notices that there is a malfunction in the system, it will beep a code when the
power is on. The signal will be a set of fast beeps lasting two seconds. The slower diagnostic
pattern will then be sounded once. For example, when it Beeps five times and stops, that
indicates BEEP code #5 – Brake Trip.
The following BEEP codes are used to help diagnose system errors:
BEEP Code #2 – Low Battery Voltage
BEEP Code #3 – High Battery Voltage
BEEP Code #5 – Solenoid Brake Trip
BEEP Code #6 – Throttle Trip
BEEP Code #7 – Throttle Trip
BEEP Code #8 – Motor Disconnected
BEEP Code #9 – Possible Controller Trip
BEEP CODE #2 – LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery needs charging or there is a bad connection to the battery. Check the
connections to the battery. If the connections are good, try charging the battery.
BEEP CODE #3 - HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE
An excessive voltage has been applied to the S-drive. This is usually caused by a poor
battery connection. Check the battery connections.
NOTE: The error may only be present
when going down hill and power goes back to the batteries.
BEEP CODE #5 – SOLENOID BRAKE TRIP
The parking brake has a bad connection. Check the parking brake and motor connections.
Make sure all the system connections are secure.
