Got to be a noobie mistake. Its beeping!

RockDaddy · 07-02-2012, 07:48 PM

OK success.

I was convinced it was wired correctly and instead of finding out what part was bad I just started installing the entire kit. I dropped in the new controller and boom the wheels are a spinning! I guess I hurt the old controller or something while installing the FR switch.

I should have no problem doing the solenoid tomorrow and be ready to pull the race car by Wed.

thx

OK getting really close so Scotty if you read this I know your know the answer as it sounds like something we talked about on the phone.

Beside 50/50 guessing on the diode direction (how do I get another one?) Cart looks good. I give it a tiny little gas and (on jack stands) it goes pretty good. I give it more than a hair more and it stops with a single red flash which is:

1 Red = Throttle Position Sensor Over Range. Check for open wires

do we have it configured for the wrong pedal setup or is there some other common issue. I can do it over and over, let off the pedal to where its barley pushed and it goes green and starts running again.

Thx

Oh and power up I get 1 green flash which looks like its setup for
1 Green LED flash = 0-5 kohm resistive

OK I'm totally out of control with just diving in so I downloaded the controls software and I'm all connected and accessing it. I can see when I monitor that it thinks I'm at 100% throttle with about 1/2 inch movement of the pedal. Then it thinks I'm way out of range or whatever and stops. Figure all I need is someone to tell me what throttle setting to try next and I'll give it a shot. It looks like its on the 0-5k if I remember correctly. Send one on the list under the Yamaha.

Thx

Hey this forum is awesome for self help. lol The more I talked about it the cover I got to the solution. Put a meter on the pedal and it looks good so the only thing I can think of is crossed up wires from it. Even though I still looked correct color wise when I swamped them on the controller the car is now acting totally normal.

Gonna button it up now but its raining so not sure about a ride yet. :)

Most people would have called

But it looks like you have bumped your way through the install without damaging the new control?

Did you look at the 8-10 pages of info I send with a typical upgrade kit? There is a sheet on there which makes it unmistakably clear on how the diode goes and all the other wiring too.

There is a controller program print out that shows how the controller is programmed too? At least there should have been ... no need to mess with the programming. I program each one to the customer's needs, this way I know how it is set up when you call for help.... anyway. It's all good, right?

Anyway, glad to see you figured it out.

Well I'm close so I may call ya. I have everything but reverse. I get 3 flashing red that leads me to some ITS adjustment but I'm not really getting it. If I key off and on again I have forward but reverse get the error. I'm inside not doing a searching on the subject.
