Default 2005 EZGO PDS Speed issue

I've got an 05 EZGO PDS. New Batteries with 4 ga wiring. Hit the pedal and runs like crazy until it gets up to speed, then it slows way down and gives me the beep code (1-3) for a speed sensor.

Am I safe to assume the beep code and symptoms are accurate and I need a new speed sensor? Will the magnet be enough or do I replace the whole thing?

It normally isnt the magnet but the sensor itself. Though I would check continuity of those wires before anything else. I would also verify power on the speed sensor pins of the control. There should be 11~15V on pin 3 to ground and about 5V on pin 2.

Normally this fault will start after driving only a few feet, it sounds like your going a bit further than that? I would think it's more of an intermittent issue if that is the case. Try pushing the cart by hand to see if the roll-off feature kicks in, this is normally a good indicator as to weather or not the controller is seeing input from the sensor.

5 volts on pin 2 and 14 volts on pin 3. Didn't have much room to push it right now but for about 5 feet, no beeps. I guess I hope its the sensor. I'll try to get it off and see what i can make of it.

The only other thing I would check on the control is continuity from pin 1 of the speed sensor plug to B-...I have seem some of these fry open on the MXs.

If this is good then its defiantly the speed sensor since the roll off didn't active while you were pushing it. You should only need a couple of wheel revolutions before it kicks in. A repayment sensor is fairly cheap compared to a new control at least, I'd inspect the magnet for cracks while the sensor is off anyway.

I had one giving me this fault and I took the sensor off planning to replace it only to find there wasn't even a magnet installed...

I finally took the speed sensor off and found the magnet was crumbled and the screw holding the plate over the magnet was broke off. Looks bad, what now?

lol, done that but i guess i was mostly concerned with the screw being broke off (I knew what I meant). Is there something I can screw up by drilling the screw out? I don't suppose it will stay put without the screw.

If you are VERY careful I suppose you could drill and tap it..... Maybe use an EZOUT on it?

Personally I have never had that happen to me but if it did, I would likely order an Alltrax controller that doesn't care about the speed sensor, put the old sensor back in to seal the hole and cut off the wire......
