How to test solenoid on rxv

Ed760 · 10-23-2018, 08:00 PM

I know I have seen this somewhere on here before but can’t find it. I do not get a voltage drop across it when energized. It seems I saw somewhere that it should have a 3 volt drop or it or the resister is bad. Can’t remember. Also is there a way to make the brake release to move the cart if you are having issues?
Thank you for any help

Look under the controller cover and it tells you what to do to release brake.

Rxv has no precharge resistor, so the 3v drop idea is out the window. If you were to add a precharge resistor, the controller would likely fail startup test with a code similar to "contactor welded"
