Hia fault code 2 has now developed to fault code 7 is this a pot issue and is there any way of testing it without electrical test gear , scooter is strider maxi many thanks

This flash error code for the dynamic controller indicates a park brake fault. Try moving the brake lever back and forth in each direction to clear the fault. You may have a faulty brake or brake microswitch. You can test the brake with a voltmeter. It should read 40 to 60 ohms and not shorted or open. You can test the microswitch by pushing it and checking for switch closure using a voltmeter. You need to turn the scooter on and off to clear the last fault. Hope this helps.

hi, the lever maybe but is the actual throttle pot stem ? look a the screw slot located a the end of the pot stem ? bet you it's slightly to the left or right ...

7 flashes could be speed or throttle, i recommend replacing both.

hi Throttle pot issue.... check wiring otherwise replace the pot ...

Usually turning the key off and removing it then re inserting the key and turning it back on without touching the paddle levers. If that doesn't fix it then the speed pot will need to be replaced.

Jul 26, 2012 Yup you got a code seven failure code, speed pot malfunction . What pots typically do is that they oxidise. This pot is a variable rersistor that opeates between 0 - 30k ohms. When tuning the pot it shoud ram up and down smoothly. To test for this
You may also need a VOM meter only $9

Disconnect batteries from the scooter. Simply attach the multimeter to the pots terminals, select correct ohms scale and watch the needle. Th needle when turning the pot should move gracefully up to 30k down to zero as the pot dial scooter speed increases. Failure is detected when the needle jumps around, the oxidation causes the pot to connect inteermitently. USE CRC CONTACT Cleaner to get the oxidation out of the pot. The potss are not sealed so there are little holes you can spray into. Use liberal of cleanner.

Hi. 7 beeps is fault code for a faulty speed potentiometer. Might also be a broken wire on the pot or a faulty connector. Most times, a new pot will fix the problem.
Good luck. Neil.

Sounds like a throttle pot fault (the part that the throttle lever is attached to). This would need testing at a dealer or with a volt meter (set to ohm's) and if found to be faulty, will need replacing. If you test it yourself, there is usually a number on the top of the pot, usually 5k or 20k and this is what you need to set your meter too. Place the probes from the volt meter, black onto the centre wire and red onto either of the other wires (there should be 3) and slowly press the throttle lever first forward, then reverse, and constantly keep an eye on the reading from the volt meter. The reading should go up to approx. the number on the top of the pot, i.e. a 5k pot should read about 4.9 to 5.1 ish on the meter. If this number fluctuates up or down quite rapidly while the lever is held in a static position, it will indicate a faulty pot. This is in fact a common fault with nearly all makes and models of scooter and usually a fairly cheap and quick repair.

what about the overall connection , start at the handlebars from the speed pot,

Take off the rear cover , first remove the seat, pull the connector one by one and plug back in,

chec kthe connectors around the speed pot , in particualar if there is a circuit board.
