DIAGNOSTICS

The diagnostics feature of your Golden Companion’s “Rhino” microprocessor- based motor control board functions as follows:

Any fault condition on the “Rhino” controller or on an associated system will cause the Power-on/diagnostics LED (see figure 43) to flash.

The flashing of the LED occurs as one flash or as a series of flashes separated by a two-second pause.

The number of flashes in each series is referred to as the “Flash Code.”

The flash code indicates the nature of the condition or fault.

Indicates that the battery voltage has dropped to 17.5 volts.

At this voltage your scooter will cease operation.

If you have charged the batteries and the condition continues, one or both of the scooter’s batteries may be at fault.

The continuance of this condition after you have charged your Companion’s batteries may also indicate a problem with the battery charger.

Remedy: Consult your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer.
