DIAGNOSTICS

The PG VSI controller on your Alero will provide you with information should a malfunction happen with your power chair. The LED lights on the controller will flash in a certain sequence to inform you of a malfunction. If more than one fault exists, then the fault having the highest priority is indicated. All faults disable the controller and require the controller to be turned off then on again if the source of the fault is removed.
