Be sure Keyswitch is OFF and Run/Tow is in RUN when going from Neutral to Reverse 5 times.

I spent some time banging my head against a brick wall trying to get into diag mode with key on, when I was running a stock PDS controller.

Stock PDS controllers don't play well with tall tires and lifted carts tend to have tires taller than stock, so you are likely to be right about controller overheating.

The controller cuts back rather than shutting down when it overheats, but just cycling keyswitch doesn't clear it, it has top sit for a few minutes and cool down before it goes back to normal speed.
