Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged, or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.

What if all the systems on my Maxima seem to be “dead”?

νMake certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.

νCheck that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νPush in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See V. “Your Maxima.”

νMake certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronic controller assembly and to the battery terminals. See figure 20.

νMake sure that the 9-pin front-to-rear harness is firmly connected. See figure 21.

What if the motor runs but my Maxima does not move?

Your Maxima was probably left in freewheel mode. When the manual freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle is cut.

νPush down the manual freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Maxima. See V. “Your Maxima.”

What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? See V. “Your Maxima.”

νCharge the Maxima’s batteries more frequently. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νIf the problem continues, have both of your Maxima’s batteries load tested by your authorized Pride provider.

νOr load test the batteries yourself.

νLoad testers are available at most automotive parts stores

νFollow the supplied directions

νSee VI. “Batteries and Charging” or Section IV. “Specifications” for information about your Maxima’s battery type.

What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press the throttle control lever? See V. “Your Maxima.”

νFully charge your Maxima’s batteries. SeeVI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νHave your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.

νOr, see the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.

If you experience any problems with your Maxima that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
