2017 ezgo rxv fleet issues

[Luckyjayb]

Ok here goes. I’m a txt guy but helping a buddy fix his moms rxv. It’s a 2017 fleet model. When trying to go forward or reverse, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Can I troubleshoot it manually or do I have to have dang tool for it. It’s not upgraded and haven’t started troubleshooting it yet but gonna start with the basics. Not wanting to throw parts at it either since nobody else I know has an rxv, we all have txt’s. Any and all help is appreciated.

Download the rxv curtis troubleshooting guide, it has lots of info & lots of tests you can do without the official diagnostic tool (although it does assume you have one). At the top of this page is a search button, it can lead you to the mentioned file.

Although to me it sounds like you have a problem with one of the pedals not fully returning to rest position, or a failing motor brake.

Thanks. I’ll get that n see what I can find out

Just make sure not to touch the pedals till the rxv quits clicking when you turn it on. It does a power on self test every time it is turned on and if you hit a pedal too early, it will fail and you have to start over. ONly takes 3-4 seconds or so.

Will do. Thanks again for the info. I’ll be doing the test as soon as I get back home
