2001 Ezgo running slow
Have a 2001 Ezgo that is running slow in forward and reverse. Did some research and found you can push the cart (feeling for resistance) to test speed sensor magnet. Push the cart and it will freely roll after beeping without any resistance so I assume the magnet/sensor is bad. My question is how do you go about replacing this. I've looked and can't seem to find how to replace it anywhere. Thanks for any help you can offer

Re: 2001 Ezgo running slow
Speed sensor is on end of motor, the sensor has a grey wire harness going to controller. It is usually held in by a snap-ring. Pull sensor out, and check if magnet is broken or detached. Magnet problems are more common than sensor problems (but they both look like a sensor problem as far as the controller is concerned).

Re: 2001 Ezgo running slow
Thanks for quick response. I got the clip out, wiggled sensor out with pair of pliers and found magnet. The magnet looked fine and torx screw was not loose. Replaced magnet anyway but the cart is still running super slow. What should I try now?

Re: 2001 Ezgo running slow
I think the cart is a 2002 if that changes anything

Re: 2001 Ezgo running slow
The problem was with magnet "detaching" from washer, not "losing magnetism". You could go to controller end of speed sensor cable and check for pulse when pushing cart. Red & black wires provide power to sensor, one of the other 2 wires will give a "pulse" when cart is moving. One lead from volt meter will go to black wire, other lead will go to green or white wire. If you cant find any pulse you might have a bad tach sensor. The cart gives no resistance to being pushed?

Re: 2001 Ezgo running slow
When I push the cart in forward or reverse, the cart starts to beep but no resistance to stop it from rolling away. I'll have to check for pulse on those wires when I go back to work on cart tomorrow. Is the tach sensor the grey cable that goes from controller to the motor?

Re: 2001 Ezgo running slow
Yes, grey wire actually has 3 or 4 wires in it. They are visible at the controller end.

Re: 2001 Ezgo running slow
If the tacho sensor turns out to not be the problem, is the controller going to be my issue?
