Put controller in diagnostic mode and listen for error code beeps.
Text at bottom of attached PDS label tell you how to get into diagnostic mode.

Connect a DVM between the controller's B- and M- (labeled A1 on a stock PDS controller) terminals.

Push pedal until solenoid clicks and you should read full battery pack voltage (38.2V when fully charged).
If you don't get it, check the thick cables for opens or bad connections. Also could be motor brushes.


If you do get it, slowly press pedal to the floor and the voltage should smoothly decrease to Zero Volts.

If it doesn't, check ITS voltages.

If ITS is okay, the controller is likely to be bad.

Beeper mounting bracket is pop riveted to the left side of the passenger side glove box.

You can see it looking under the cowl.
