07 CC Precedent speed issue
I bought a used 2007 club car precedent from an individual. It has the 4x12 battery system. I went to a dealer and had them put 4 new batteries in and ordered a speed code. They installed the speed code and when i use it i only get to 16 mph on a flat service. If i go uphill it goes to 10 -12 mph and downhill it can get to close to 19. If i have passengers it is even slower. I took it back and they "verified" that the speed code was installed and that the throttle was set to 100%. They performed a battery charge/discharge and found not fault in the batteries. Then they put in a good motor/control unit with a speed code for testing and it peformed the same - they then removed the units. They gave up. Any thoughts or suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

Re: 07 CC Precedent speed issue
I have the same cart but I have not bought the speed code. Mine ran 16 MPH on flat surface stock. I have since upgraded the tire size and have not took it for a spin with my GPS. Something doesn't sound right. I would think you should be getting 20+ MPH with the speed code.

Re: 07 CC Precedent speed issue
I have a speed code but not sure which one. With 6yr old 12v, I am getting 17/18mph on the flat.

Re: 07 CC Precedent speed issue
check to see if you have your tire pressure correct. it happened to me also I was going 16 and I knew I use to go 22, I didnt have enough air in my tires. I now have 20 PSI in the and I am back going 22.

Yup, check the tire pressure.

What speed code are they speaking about... 3 or 4? If you do have Private Speed Mode 4 and they in fact switched with another cart both the motor and controller... you must have a resistance problem or a battery problem, or cable problem, (even though you installed new batteries.) Seeing you took it to a dealer, the same dealer that said they did the work... hummmm... they should look for brake drag, battery voltage, low tire pressure... hummmm... something fishy here |

Re: 07 CC Precedent speed issue
Mine is set to the default golf course speed and I am getting about 16.5mph on flat pavement. The 23" tires are helping there but I would certainly expect it to go faster with a higher code setting. Hard to believe low tire pressure could rob you of 4mph without you realizing they are that low - but it's worth a look. Also, hard to imagine the dealer didn't think to check that.

Re: 07 CC Precedent speed issue
Thanks for all of the replies - I checked the tires and the average PSI was around 14.5. I inflated them to the recommended 22 PSI. I believe it has helped drastically - here is the current status
19 - 20 MPH - going downhill or an extremely flat service 15 - 17 MPH - going up a slight incline 11 - 14 MPH - going up a moderate incline 8 - 10 MPH - going up a extreme incline All of these are with just myself in the cart - my question - Is this reduction in speed normal when going up inclines? |
