05

Before you open anything

!

Switch the system off and remove the battery before opening any connector. A traction battery stores enough energy to melt a tool and start a fire, and a damaged cell can ignite hours later. Never charge a swollen, dented or wet battery, and never leave one charging unattended.

What to check, in order

From the quickest check to the one that needs a technician.

1
Check the spoke magnet and its gap to the sensor: it is the single most common cause of speed faults, and it costs nothing to correct.
2
Turn the system fully off, wait ten seconds, turn it back on: a power cycle clears a large share of one-off faults.
3
Check the battery contacts and the state of charge: a dirty or loose contact reads exactly like a failed battery.
4
Follow the cable from the motor to the display, connector by connector: look for chafing where it enters the frame.
5
If the code returns, have the firmware read at a dealer: some faults are only visible with the diagnostic tool.
