TXT shuts off after 5-10min run

Chris8205 · 04-22-2019, 09:20 AM

So I bought a 98 TXT DCS a short time ago and recently it started shutting off after 5-10min of running. After sitting and cycling the key off and on for a min or so, it will power back up and take off. I’m not sure how old the batteries are but the previous owner did swap out two of them a couple of years ago. I load tested all of the batteries and one of the batteries is reading 5.8 - 5.9 under a load. I plan on replacing all the batteries but I am wondering if something else is going on as well. Could one bad battery cause the issues I am having or should I be looking elsewhere for the culprit? Thanks in advance for the help.

Question for the group. Does a DCS controller have a troubleshooting mode?

Yurtle, the DCS controller does not have a diagnostic mode.

The DCS controller does not have under-voltage protection, so running it with low/bad batteries has very likely taken it out.

Replace it with an Alltrax XCT48400-DCS (or larger)
