Regen braking

sprocket

Have a question about a friend with a 2008 Club Car. I think it's a DS. Any how the cart is completely stock (this fellow is 80 and uses it around the yard). Should this car have regen braking? Doesn't seem to have any right now. Anything we can do to check it out. Letting it coast down a long hill it just keeps coasting and picking up speed. Thanks.

Yes it should have regen braking but it can be turned on and off. Using a handheld programmer there are 3 positions under category pedal up mode off, 1 and 2...2 giving the highest amount of regen braking. You can either bring it to a dealer or find someone with a Curtis handheld programmer that can change that setting.

O.K., Thanks! Probably just take it over to the dealer.

Make sure of date and make sure it is IQ and not series. Did it ever have regen braking before? You can tell if it is series or iq by the forward reverse switch, if it is a 3 position push button its IQ and should have regen braking. If it is Iq and second hand, its possible someone put a speed magnet in the speed sensor which would eliminate regen braking, if the cart is stock and runs at 19 mph this could be a possibility.
