How to Test the Control Module for an Electric Scooter
As the owner of an electric scooter, you can use the status LED display on the control module to troubleshoot and identify problems that require your attention. In the event of a problem, the status LED displays a series of diagnostic flash codes. Owners who wish to test the control module for potential problems must understand the meaning of each flash code. The scooter will remain inoperable until the owner resolves the problem indicated by each flash code; turn they key to the "On" position before you begin troubleshooting.
