When I land the F-18 it veers off to the left when the brakes are applied. It's not the joystick that's causing this either. It is very frustrating can anyone help?

Hello,

If the chair wants to drive left then you have a disengaged left motor clutch lever or a left motor going bad. Then M51 will not give an error code if the clutch is disengaged. If the chair is veering left as you are driving but you are still able to turn to turn right then the motor is not likely to be disengaged but has a brush or gear problem.
It is also possible that the joystick is not working well. The joystick is much less likely to be the problem unless it is damaged somehow.

Going sideways. I would guess your chair is veering to the right or left when you start to go. If you are on a flat surface it probably appears to run ok. When you start up an incline you start to veer to the right or left. I have seen a few of these and I have a few possible solutions. 1. Check and see if one of your motors are in freewheel. This would be the first and simplest fix. The next 2 would require a tech to look at. 2. Your brake may be dragging and causing one motor to run slower. Replacing the brake unit would fix this 3. You may have a bad motor that just won't pull. A tech could check this out and see if you have bad brushes or a weak motor that needs to be replaced. Hope this helps.

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

FLASH CODES
Code #1

• Flash Code: One, pause, one
  
• Cause: Possible Stall Timeout
  
• Possible Solution: Turn joystick off, then on.
  

Code #2

• Flash Code: Two, pause, two
  
• Cause: Battery Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Charge batteries, check battery connections and fuses.
  

Code #3

• Flash Code:Three, pause, three
  
• Cause: Left Motor Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Make sure the left motor is plugged in.
  

Code #4

• Flash Code: Four, pause, four
  
• Cause: Right Motor Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Make sure the right motor is plugged in.
  

Code #5

• Flash Code: Five, pause, five
  
• Cause: Left Park Brake Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Make sure the left brake is not in freewheel mode.
  

Code #6

• Flash Code: Six, pause, six
  
• Cause: Right Park Brake Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Make sure the right brake is not in freewheel mode.
  

Code #7

• Flash Code: Seven, pause, seven
  
• Cause: Joystick Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Check the joystick connection.
  

Code #8

• Flash Code: Eight, pause, eight
  
• Cause: Power Module Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Check connections to the power module and batteries.
  

Code #9

• Flash Code: Nine, pause, nine 9
  
• Cause: Controller Communication Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Check bus connections from the joystick to the power module.
  

Code #10

• Flash Code: Ten, pause, ten
  
• Cause: Controller Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Contact Technical Service for assistance.
  

Code #11

• Flash Code: Eleven, pause, eleven
  
• Cause: Incompatible Device Fault
  
• Possible Solution: Contact Technical Service for assistance.
  

take to an alignment shop, no sense in describing the problem when a look with a machine will tell you what's up.

it sounds like your left tail light bulb is burnt out

if you use mouse yoke, get a joystick if you have a joystick it may be broken.

Drive slowly down the middle of a straight road, let the steering wheel go and apply the brakes. If the car wants to turn by itself check your ball joints and shocks. If the car remains straight you may have an irregular wearing tire which causes it wonder at higher speeds.
I hope this helps

If the brake warning light comes on when you apply the brakes, or is on continuously, it means that hydraulic pressure has been lost in one side of the brake system or that the fluid level in the master cylinder is dangerously low (due to a leak somewhere in the brake system). In either case, the fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked. Adding brake fluid to the master cylinder reservoir may temporarily solve the problem. But if there's a leak, the new fluid will soon be lost and the warning light will come back on.
Brake fluid leaks are serious because they may cause the brakes to fail! So avoid driving the vehicle until the system can be inspected to determine what's wrong. Leaks can occur in brake hoses, brake lines, disc brake calipers, drum brake wheel cylinders or the master cylinder itself. Wet spots at hose or line connections would indicate a leak that needs to be fixed.
Leaking brake fluid can also contaminate the brake linings, causing them to slip or grab. The uneven braking action that results may cause the vehicle to veer to one side when the brakes are applied. Brake shoes or pads that have been contaminated with brake fluid cannot be dried out and must be replaced.

That could be an alignment issue, a brake caliper issue, a broken tie rod. Any number of things. I would suggest getting it to a service center of some sort. CHEERS

try powering off the system, then power on while not touching the controls at all. it may be realigning at power up and if it is off center it will think that is the center.
