2000 Ezgo Slows And Beeps

roogierug · 01-15-2009, 04:54 PM

Hi all....newbie here. I have been reading the threads for a few days and have a question. I bought a used 2000 EZGO ELEC CART. Took it for a spin around the block and with the pedal to the floor it slowed down and continued to beep. After reading several thread I tried the PDS diagnostic test with key off and flipping from neutral to reverse 5 times. On the sixth time I got 3 beeps pause 1 beep. Need to know what that means. Thanks

Solenoid driver failure.
Check wiring for damage.
Might be a bad controller.

Thank you for the reply. The dealer delivered the gc late Tuesday. I tried to drive it around the block and it started messing up. I called the dealer Wednesday and was told the batteries needed charging. I hooked up the charger and tried it again today. I called the dealer after I got the 3-1 code. He is suppose to check and call me back tomorrow. Is there anything else I should be concerned about?

This is a great forum.

If your cart has a toggle switch on the controller cover under the passenger seat it is a Sepex cart and has a strict rule regarding that switch.

what type of rules?

3-1 is not batteries. FYI - If the dealer is going to warranty it for you, I suggest you leave it alone until they come to take a look.

If the cart is going to be pushed, towed, serviced, or stored, the switch MUST be moved to the Tow/Maintenance position.

Thanks GORNOMAN

The dealer I bought the cart from is gonna check it out today. Just worried that other things could be wrong with it since it started messing up the first time I drove around my neighborhood.

There should be a sticker on the controller cover that explains the codes.
