10 Fault finding 

 

During fault conditions the chair either will not drive or drives very slowly. 
 

10.1  Limp Mode 

 
If the DX system detects a fault that does not demand the wheelchair be stopped completely; 
it  will  go  into  ‘Limp  Mode’.  This  enables  the  wheelchair  to  be  driven  to  a  safe  place  at  a 
reduced speed. 
 

10.2  Stuck Power Button 

 
If  the  power  button  is  pushed  and  not  released;  the  system  switches  off.  To  unlock  the 
system,  press  the  on/off  button  and  then  press  the  horn  button  twice  within  10  seconds 
(Section 6.5.3) 
 

10.3  Joystick out of neutral at power up 

 
If the joystick is not in the centre position when the system is switched on; the wheelchair will 
not  drive.  This  is  to  prevent  inadvertent  movement.  If  the  joystick  is  returned  to  the  centre 
within  4  seconds  the  chair  will  then  drive  normally.  If  the  joystick  is  not  returned  to  centre 
within 4 seconds, the DX2 system must be switched off and then on again. 
 

10.4  Battery Warning Conditions 

 
Check  the  batteries  are  charges.  If  the  charge  icon  is  red,  put  the  chair  on  charge 
immediately 
 

 

 
Note if the batteries are allowed to discharge completely, they may not recharge (see section 
7) in the event of this happening please contact your Magic Mobility Dealer for assistance. 
 

10.5  Fault Codes 

In  the  case  of  a  fault;  the  DX2  controller  may  display  a 
flash  code  like  the  one  pictured.  The  number  indicates 
where  the  problem  is  in  the  system.  The  following 
information may help diagnose some faults 

 

Turn the DX system off the back on again 
Check the lead to the joystick module – has it been damaged or dislodged 
If the above do not clear the fault, please contact your Magic Mobility dealer 

This  may  not  be  a  fault.  If  you  have  a  seat  elevator,  the  wheelchair  is 
programmed  to  drive  slowly  when  the  seat  is  elevated.  The  flash  code  is 
indicating that the chair’s speed has been reduced while elevated. 
Ensure the seat is in its lowest position before driving  
If the above do not clear the fault, please contact your Magic Mobility dealer 

Left Motor Fault – usually indicates a poor connection. 
Check that the motor cables are not loose or disconnected. 
If the above do not clear the fault, please contact your Magic Mobility dealer
