2006 ez go pds quit working

[Albucknbass]

Have a 2006 ezgo pds thatbwas going then just quit....flipped the switch back and forth and got it to fo in reverse then drove it back to the truck before it finally just quit.

Its got a lift and has been working fine for a few years......i have replaced the forward and reverse switch but i think the controller is shot.

Any help would be great

Welcome to BGW!

If it has been lifted, it probably has oversized tires and if they are taller than 20", you're lucky the stock PDS controller lasted as long as it did.

The PDS is a Fly-by-Wire system, so the controller does everything and the external switches and controls just tell it what you want it to do.

Does the solenoid click when you push the pedal?
If not, check the voltages on the wire highlighted in red on attached schematic.
If you have pack voltage on all of them, the controller should apply B- to J1 Pin-7, closing solenoid.

If it does click, connect your DVM between the controller's B- and M- terminals.
You should read pack voltage when the pedal is pushed just far enough for solenoid to click.
If it you don't, something is open in the high current circuit.

If you do, slowly press pedal to floor.
Voltage should decrease smoothly to near zero.

If it doesn't, the controller or ITS is bad.

Let us know what you find and we will proceed from there.

BTW: A PDS cart with a DCX400 controller and 200A solenoid is a nice combo.

Ok so the batteries are charged and i have 36 volts there and 36 At the silenoid....without depressing the throttle i have 25 volts in the controller side of the silenoid. Thats shouldnt be correct? When it is depressed i get 36
