This will test for controller output. This test assumes everything else is functioning properly.

Connect (-) probe to M- terminal.

Connect (+) probe to B+ terminal.

Reading should indicate approx. 0 volts. Slowly push the throttle. As you push the throttle the voltmeter reading should go up all the way to pack voltage.
If the voltage is at or near battery voltage and the motor is not turning, problem lies in either the forward/reverse switch, wiring or the motor.
If the voltage increases by a few volts and then stops changing while the pedal is being depressed, remove the orange wire at the reverse micro switch.
If the voltage is not at or near battery voltage, replace the controller.
If battery voltage is present, the problem lies in the reverse circuit.

Re-connect the orange wire.
