Powerchair flash codes (Applies to most powerchairs)

hi Kathy, sadly there isn't a easy way to do this and you really need someone skilled in working with the powerchairs. This can be a joystick fault however make sure all connections are a tight fit ...
If you're based in the UK please give me a ring as I carry out free testing ...
Regards

Hi , when you say shut off, you mean like it been turned off ? if so check the connector going into the controller , the issue could be with the controller connect, not the joystick end if it's been replaced...

Hi Judy,

According to Pride's troubleshooting documents the service indicator (wrench icon) will flash when a fault is detected by the dynamic controller.

The number of flashes, followed by a 2 second pause, indicates the issue. You will need to count the flashes to determine the cause and a possible solution.

I have typed the flash codes below, but you can also see them on a larger table here: http://www.fixya.com/support/p3641679-pride_jazzy_614_hd_jazzy_614hd/usermanual-6B42026-pdf

Nope unless you have another joystick. Try unplugging the joystick cable at the joystick and plugging it back in turn on and see if it makes a difference. If you are still getting the error you will need to have the joystick replaced sorry

mtp see the below list
The listed Flash codes are pretty standard and are applicable to powerchairs only not scooters:

1 flash User Fault (do not touch joystick) and turn back on

2 flashes Battery Fault Recharge batteries or replace

3 Left motor fault check connections or replace

4 Right motor fault check connections or replace

5 Left park brake fault check freewheel lever or brake connections

6 Right park brake fault check freewheel lever or brake connections

7 Remote fault check connections and wiring replace remote(joystick) (Check cable to the joystick unplug connector at rear of chair and plug back in then try turning on to see if you are getting same code)

8 Controller fault Check connections and wiring replace controller

9 Communication fault check cable replace (almost same problem as 7) try same fix if doesn't work joystick will have to be replaced

10 and 11 are unusual and will not be seen if at all Hope this helps you
