The display on the joystick says "motor 2 disconnected" and L wheel moves but R does not. Have not found any disconnected wires.

<div><br>The first two red diodes flashing accompanied by beeping on your Quantum 610 electric wheelchair generally indicates a fault condition or an error code. Here are some possible reasons: Joystick Calibration Error: The joystick may need to be recalibrated. Check your wheelchair's user manual for instructions on how to calibrate the joystick properly. Error Code Identification: The flashing lights and beeping may be an error code. Consult your wheelchair's user manual to interpret the specific error code, as different combinations of lights and beeps can indicate different issues. Battery Issues: Low battery voltage or a battery fault can sometimes trigger error codes. Ensure that the wheelchair's batteries are fully charged and in good condition. Motor or Drive System Issues: Problems with the wheelchair's motors or drive system may prevent it from moving. Check for any loose or disconnected wires in the motor connections. Obstructions: Ensure that there are no obstructions or obstacles preventing the wheelchair from moving. Check the wheels and drive system for any debris. Controller or Joystick Malfunction: A malfunctioning controller or joystick can cause issues. If possible, try using a backup controller or joystick to see if the problem persists. Reset the System: Turn off the wheelchair, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This may help reset the control system. Technical Support: Contact the manufacturer's technical support or customer service for assistance. They may be able to guide you through additional troubleshooting steps or advise on the next course of action. Professional Inspection: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it through basic troubleshooting, consider seeking assistance from a certified technician who specializes in mobility devices. Always refer to your wheelchair's user manual for specific information on error codes and troubleshooting. If you don't have the manual, you can often find it on the manufacturer's website or by contacting their customer support. <br></div>

The age of the Nutron is not the issue, unfortunately. I have seen problems with this model right out of the box. The joystick control is the first area to check. If you have to compensate the joystick so far to the right to correct, you may have a damaged joystick gimbal. You may also have a bad joystick control board or damaged connecting cable to the controller on the bottom frame. Check for damaged, pinched loose or disconnected wiring below at the controller module. With a folding frame it is easy for the wiring to be become damaged or dislodged. Check for cut damaged pinched wiring at the joystick. With a handheld programmer (dealer) you can check for error codes in the fault log. With a poor performance issue there may not be a fault recorded in the log of the computer module. I have also seen these motors fail prematurely. In this case your left motor is dragging or weak causing the chair to go left. With a programmer (dealer tool) you can compensate for this while waiting for new parts(temp fix). Sometimes the motor brushes burn or hang up. Try blocking up the chair off the ground and run it no load to check for motor performance and unusual sounds. Check for joystick dead spots or uneven action. A quick check of the joystick would be to plug in a known good one at the dealer to test. With the chair blocked up try tapping the motor housing to see if the performance changes. Inspect the brushes if you have access to the brush caps.Check the obvious first, plugs, pinched, broken wires and partial plug disconnects and corrosion. If you have a voltmeter you can do some checks on the motors and brakes. Going from memory, the motor leads large black and large red should read zero ohms with the 2 small white wires for the brake reading between 60 and 70 ohms. Check the Invacare manufacturer website for exact specs and technical info for this model.
Hope this helps.

sorry to tell u this but with a new controller and joystick u will need a tech with a programmer to redo the joystick and det up controller,so contact a dealer for help

One of the most common controllers, codes to help you and others.





VSI & VR2 Joystick error flash codes:
1 RED BAR:Low Battery Voltage The battery is flat (more likely).
Or the battery has a bad connection (which is unlikely)
2 RED BARS: Left Motor Disconnected The left motor is disconnected. Check all the connections for physical disconnection or corrosion or burning usually caused by the salt poured onto the roads every winter.
3 RED BARS: Left Motor Wiring Trip The left motors wiring has a short circuit. Check all connections and leads for wear and chafing between the left motor and the battery cables or chassis
4 BARS: Right Motor Disconnected The right motor is disconnected. Check all the connections for physical disconnection or corrosion or burning usually caused by the salt poured onto the roads every winter.
5 BARS: Right Motor Wiring Trip The right motors wiring has a short circuit. Check all connections and leads for wear and chafing between the right motor and the battery cables or chassis
6 BARS: Activated if you turn on your wheelchair with an external device like the Charger still connected.
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.
8 BARS: A control system trip. Make sure that all connections are secure and if so the power module or control pod is probably faulty. Test by substitution of known good one.
9 BARS: The parking brakes have a bad connection or have a failed solenoid, or any lever or switches that disconnect drive for pushing the chair manually may be pulled or switched.
10 BARS: Over voltage detected. This can happen with a bad battery connection although unlikely. More likely your battery charger is faulty and is overcharging your batteries quite severely.
1 BAR to 10 BARS and back in a "ripple" every few seconds. Joystick not cantered when turned on. Switch off and try again.
1 BAR to 6 FLASH every few seconds. System Asleep. Switch off and back on. Time before sleep can be adjusted or disabled in programming

Hi
delobner,

Sometime we lock our vsi joystick by mistake. Here are the instructions on how to lock and unlock your joystick.

If the problem is still there after write me back and I'll help you.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE VSI

The VSI has a feature that enables you to lock your power chair to prevent

unauthorized use.

To lock the VSI:

1. With the VSI powered on, press and hold the on/off key. After one (1)

second, the VSI should beep.

2. Release the on/off key.

3. Push the joystick to the full forward position until the VSI beeps.

4. Pull the joystick to the full rearward position until the VSI beeps.

5. Release the joystick. There should be a long beep.

6. The VSI is now locked.

To unlock the VSI:

1. Press the on/off key and power on the VSI. The maximum speed/profile
indicator should ripple side to side.

Good Luck

follow that joystick cable make sure it hasn't been pinched also i would make sure everything is connected ,you could have dis connected something on accident.

The Drive Cirrus Plus power wheelchair is a folding frame chair with a VSI controller. The VSI controller (joystick) will indicate a fault code when it detects a problem with your power chair. It is manufactured by a company called Penny Giles Drive Technology. An LED flash code of 2 on the battery display indicates that the left motor is disconnected. There may be a brake fault also.

The left motor can be disconnected at the plug where the VSI harness plugs into the motor plug. The pins for the motor or VSI output may be pushed back in the connector or not making contact due to corrosion or dirt. Unplug this connector and inspect the pins and make sure they are making good contact and are clean. Spray contact cleaner on the contacts to clean or re-orient the pins to make better contact. The folding frame of the chair may have dislodged the connector. The wiring harness from the motor may be pinched or cut. The brake wires and pins may have become disconnected also. The brake lever may be in the disengaged freewheel position causing a fault, so put the brake lever in the correct position. Strictly speaking, this fault code is for the motor only, but always check the motor/ brake assembly since the wiring runs from the same plug.

A certified technician will have a hand held programmer to read the computer (VSI) fault log and determine the number of error codes for the various components.

Using a digital voltmeter you can check the motor at the plug. The two large wires on this 4 pin plug go to the motor; the two small wires go to the brake. On the resistance scale the motor should read between 0 and 1.6 ohms. The brake should read between 30 to 60 ohms.

There is a chance that the output of the VSI controller is bad. To test this swap the left and right motor output connectors from the VSI. If the error code now indicates right motor disconnected (flash code 4) you have a good VSI and bad left motor. Swap the leads back after you are done with this test.

Try blocking up the chair and see if the motor runs with no load on it or after spinning the drive wheel by hand. You can also inspect the motor brushes for burning and wear. If you pull the brushes, do this carefully and blow out the dust from the motor armature. This may allow the motor to work again for a short time.

You will probably need to hire a technician if, after checking for bad connections and the brake lever in the wrong position, you still have problems. I like to replace the brake/ motor/ gearbox as a complete assembly to avoid future problems. Labor for the diagnosis and reading the fault code log with a hand held programmer should be under 1 hour. A return visit to replace the motor brake gearbox is under 1 hour. Hope this helps.

This power wheelchair uses a Shark joystick control made by Dynamic. The connecting cable plugs into the back of the joystick control and can be unplugged by pulling back on the lock ring of the connector. Spray electrical contact cleaner onto both the plug and the joystick cable receptacle.
Follow the cable down to the base and check for cuts, nick or pinches and repeat at the base connector. To get to the power module you need to remove the seat and cover for the base. The controller should have 5 connectors plugged into it. One is the power connector, one is the right motor, one is the left motor, one for the joystick plug, one for the charger. Remove these connectors one at a time, spray clean the contacts and plug back in. Inspect these connections on both sides and be certain the contacts are shiny.
A 6 bar flash indicates that there is a right park brake fault. Work the right brake release lever up and down several times and see if this clears the fault. Do the same for the left brake. If you have cleaned the right motor plug at the controller by disconnecting it you can use a digital voltmeter to test the brake. The 2 small wires to the plug are the brake wires and should read 40 to 60 ohms on your meter. If the brake solenoid reads open or shorted your brake is burnt out. The two easiest things to try are moving the brake levers and spray clean all the contacts. The test/replacement of these parts requires a qualified technician. Hope this helps.

The three light flash indicates a short circuit between the left motor(as you are sitting in the chair)and the battery. Check all the wiring from the control box to the motor and make sure it is not damaged in any way. If it is okay, you have most likely fried the left side motor. A new motor-gearbox assembly for this chair runs in the neighborhood of $1,400.00, or you can take the motor off and take it in for a full rebuild for about $250 or so. Unplug the joystick and remove the seat and cowl. Jack up the left side with both motors in gear. Remove the center nut cover and take off the nut holding on the wheel taking care to retain the key that slides into the groove on the axle. Disconnect the wiring plug to the motor and remove the six bolts holding the motor to the frame. Separate the gearbox from the motor and take the motor to a rewind shop for repairs. Reinstall and it should be good to go.

1. press menu button on the inside of the fold out display
2. use the joystick type button on the display to move to the left menu
3. use the joystick type button and move up 2 times.
4. use the joystick type button and move right.
5 use the joystick type button and move down 9 times to "clock adjust" and press it to select.
6 be sure and press it again to save the changes before you exit the menu
