J298 PDS or not
Just inherited EZ-GO cart. Name plate on passenger side says J298, I assume this is a '98 model. How do I tell if its a PDS or a non PDS? Or is it a DCS? I'm new to carts so please cut me a break. Found service manual on 2001 and newer, can I use trouble shooting from this manual on my older controller?

Re: J298 PDS or not
Your cart appears to be a '98 so it cannot be a PDS. It is either a Series/Fleet cart or a DCS cart. If there is a toggle switch (Run/Tow) on the controller cover under the passenger seat, it is a DCS. If it has a long metal rod from the Forward/Reverse lever to a mechanical looking switch assembly under the passenger seat, it is a Series/Fleet cart.

Re: J298 PDS or not
Thanks gornoman I appriciate the help. This is a great forum. I've already learned alot about my EZ-GO. I've jacked up the rear of the cart and it will go forward but when I go to reverse wheels don't turn but there is a clicking sound comming from the motor. I'm sure that this is not good for the motor but if you get the wheels spinning forward and throw it in reverse and hit the pedal the wheels go really fast. I think I'm having motor trouble. Can I use the trouble shooting technique found in the 2001 and later manual for diagnostics? I noticed EMP,Inc advertises on this site, What does a typical motor reman cost? I know it varies, and depends on what you have to work with. How much money can I sink into this project without getting too upside-down?

ps: Get a decent digital multimeter and learn how to use it. Can't troubleshoot/maintain a sparky without one! |

Re: J298 PDS or not
Yes it is a DCS we have a toggle switch. I also noticed a faded sticker on the side that says "Drive Control System" Duh! Checked continuity thru the micro switches, OK.
