7 BARS: Possible Joystick Trip, Make sure that the joystick is in the centre position before switching on. If you still get this when switching on then joystick is probably faulty.


you should also check all linkages (and leads that plug in to the controller or from the controller, make sure all contacts are clean and making a good contact, you may need to clean even sand off any contaminants to ensure that all the connectors are making a good contact, as this will cause the same error to show on the controller. just a qhick clean can save you hundreds.

Light come on controller no flashing code lights joy stick does not work

The M51 could have the motor clutch levers in the free wheel/push mode and the joystick will not blink if this is the case. Make sure that the chair cannot be pushed. If it can be pushed it means it is in free wheel and you need to lock the motors in gear.

If it is in gear and the joysticks green light does not change color or blink it could be that the joystick is bad. When nothing happens and the lights don't blink when you push the joystick knob the chairs controller basically isn't recognizing the joystick movement.
Time to have the joystick repaired or more. Have a technician look at it.

What does 7 times flashing mean is wrong on pronto m91

Hello,

Seven blinks is most often the joystick. A Invacare Remote Programmer can be plugged in to the joystick to verify this.

I have a Invacare Pronto M51, the chair won't move. When I turn on the joystick, the wrench light flashes 9 times, stops, then flashes 9 times again. Can you tell me what that indicates?

A flash code of 9 indicates a communication fault. What this means is that there is a lack of communication between the joystick and the other electronic component, the controller module. In my experience, the usual culprit is that the charger plug makes bad contact inside the joystick housing causing it to heat up and burn. This can cause components inside the joystick to burn out. The other more common problem is that there is a break in the 4 wire harness going from the joystick down to the controller in the base. Sometimes it is just a matter of unplugging the connector, cleaning it, and pushing it back in. In other cases, the wire has been cut or broken along its length. Look for cuts along the black covering of the 4 wire harness (connecting cable)and twist and tape or splice and solder to repair the wires. These connecting harnesses are so inexpensive it is usually easier to replace, however a quick splice can get you going temporarily. If you smelled burning that would be an indication that the joystick assembly has burned out and I would replace that along with a new harness (connecting cable with a plug on each end) to the base electronic module.
The connecting cables have always been a weak link in this design and have had a history of failures over the years. For this reason I replace both the joystick assembly and connecting cable when servicing. Hope this helps.

Light flashes 7 times

7 Flashes indicates a joystick trip. Turn off your chair, ensure the joystick is in center position without anything touching it and turn on chair. This should clear the 7 flash code.

This problem is quite common amongst power chair users. It typically occurs when something is pressing against the joystick as you are turning the chair on.

Jazzy select contol panel all leds flash 7 times. what does that indicate?

This problem may depend on which main controller your chair has fitted. It should be a Penny & Giles GC controller. US versions should have a GC3 whilst here in the UK, it would be fitted with a GC2. However, the diagnostic flash codes for these two controllers should be the same. The reason im slightly confused is that you say 5 flashes mean your charger is connected at power up, when in fact it should be a Right Motor Wiring Fault. 9 flashes is indeed a Solenoid Brake Fault, or in other words, the wheelchair is in 'Free Wheel' as you have described. Therefore, IF your controller is in fact a Penny & Giles GC, 7 flashes would mean a Joystick fault. There is not much you can do to diagnose this other than checking connections between the Joystick and main controller. If these are OK, it is likely that a new Joystick controller will be required as having these fixed is usually not cost affective. Hope this is of some help to you.

Freedom 2.4 problem

What you can try is to press the surface on the receiver where the light blinks. This is actually a button you can click. The blinking pattern should then change. Now press any button on your joystick. The receiver is now scanning all channels for input and it should pick up the joystick's signal.

Most wireless devices from Logitech have multiple channels, which you can switch between, but this also means the receiver can be set to channel A and the joystick to channel B, which means they are not matching up.

After the click on any of the joystick buttons the light on the receiver should change to continuous light instead of blinking, indicating the link has been established.

You can find this solution on the Logitech web-site as well. Select your joystick and under the support steps it should say 'For wireless products you should now reestablish the connection following the steps here.' Where the word here is a hyperlink.

There you will find out that the receiver has a button to trigger the channel.
