Club car lost Regen braking
2011 club car PH with Alltrax xct-48300
Can anyone tell me how I lost regenerative braking? I rode the cart pretty hard last week with an all day tournament and riding 4 adults to and from course. Plugged it in in the evening and came back out a couple hours later to a burning smell from the cart. Thought the batteries were just getting too hot from being so low. I know I might headed fried the batteries they are more than 4 years old, but I've suddenly lost Regen too. |

Does the cart run other than the braking? If so, you might have burned the wiring from the speed sensor on the end of the motor. I don't know if the speed sensor itself can overheat and burn. The Alltrax Toolkit can help you find the fault. Others more knowledgeable will be along to help. |

The cart now seems to be going about half speed. I replaced the speed sensor ( have not checked wiring all the way up to controller). The Alltrax toolkit shows no errors at all.

Other than the speed sensor, speed magnet, the wiring plug with a loose terminal, or defective or burned wires to the controller, I have no clue what it might be. Does the reverse buzzer sound off when you push it backwards? If not, the above still can be the problem. The fact that you smelled something burning sounds like a wire. Check all three of the speed sensor wires thoroughly. Maybe someone else more experienced will jump in here with additional ideas. Good luck! |

Re: Club car lost Regen braking
Did you check the speed magnet on the end of the motor to see if it was broken?
If the alltrax is limiting speed, it would likely show some kind of error. A burning smell is not a good sign, but could mean something else is causing the problem. |
