Re: Club Car Precedent randomly goes into limp mode
I tested the voltage on the motor side of the solenoid by attaching my probes to the solenoid terminal and the negative post of the main battery. It reads 50.4 volts. Apparently the solenoid is not disengaging even if it clicks like it is disengaging?

Re: Club Car Precedent randomly goes into limp mode
It definitely can since the plunger that gets activated by the magnetic coil is not directly attached to the moving contact bridge assembly (it is typically a sleeve around the shaft).
Tap on the Solenoid with a rubber mallet or the hammer handle to see if the contacts release and the voltage on the Controller side drops a volt or so less than pack voltage. |

Re: Club Car Precedent randomly goes into limp mode
Something I neglected to mention was that when I installed the solenoid I purchased a diode to go across the terminals of the solenoid. Based upon what Sergio said about the solenoid opening, I removed it. The cart has ran fine since. Good possibility I had it on backwards also. I appreciate everyone's help, looks like I have it running again.

Re: Club Car Precedent randomly goes into limp mode
Randomly going into limp mode while the cart is moving usually suggests the speed sensor is failing or the magnet is cracked. Make sure the sensor is clean and properly mounted, and the magnet is in good condition. If so replace the speed sensor and see if anything changes.
If everything else checks out then replace the solenoid. |

Thanks much! On it. I changed sensor and magnet and still happens. Not that I didn't get a bad one though. It only drops into limp when you slow to stop or complete stop. Once key off and on and its rolling again it wont go into limp until you stop or creep very very slow. It seems now after studying and studying my volts on new batts that it may be losing .4 or so after coming to full charge and sitting overnight in climate controlled garage. Not sure its related but assuming it shouldn't lose any voltage w no use so wonder if that points to solenoid as well? |
