First thing you must know is that the error codes are reversed on Pronto chairs with SPJ+ joysticks.
Only one year the M41 was made that the codes were correct. From approximately April 2008 to May 2009 was the only time a left error code ment left motor and a right code ment a right motor. Same for brake codes.
Brakes codes happen when the brake is out of gear, unplugged from the control brain or wire cut. Also from internal coil damage. Unless it's a wire you can reconnect you cannot fix the brake.

Pronto M41 Chair. What does the little yellow wrench error mean?

It means there is a fault. You count the number of times it flashes and that tells you the error.

Installed new batteries Service Indicator Light flashing 5x Manual says problem is with Left Park Brake and says check L P B connections. How?

There is a lever on both sides of the chair they are there to make it easy to push the chair without power. both sides need to be in brake mode in order for the chair to operate. If the levers are locked in brake mode then the motor wiring will need to be checked that it is plugged into the controller. A Tech may need to be contacted to help with this.

Unlock a spj+ joystick on a pronto m41

Hello,
Lets make sure this is just the joystick lock mode. When you turn the chair on and it is in joystick lock mode all the battery level lights will chase across several times and then the joystick will turn off.
When you turn the chair on and you see the battery level lights chasing from right to left push and hold down the power button till the lights turn off. Only the first year that the M41 was made had this option.

My M41 invacare controller keeps flashing and it flashes 5 times. I don't understand what the fix for this.

If your M41 has the mark V controller that is seen pictured in the stock photo you provided, the 5 flash code is a left park brake fault.
1. Turn off the chair.
2.Disengage the left motor (levers are located in front under the seat) roll the chair back and forth and re-engage the left motor.
3. Engage the left motor.
4. Turn on chair.

If you happen to have the older Mark IV controller (has a toggle switch to turn on/off and three battery lights), the 5 flash code means the chair is receiving high or low voltage from the batteries. I would recommend having the batteries checked.

If the chair stops flashing, you are good to go. If the chair is still flashing, you will need to contact a technician to possibly replace the left brake. I recommend Repair Xpress FixMyPWC com Nationwide service and delivery solution for power...

What does a yellow wrench indicator light mean on a Pronto M41 w/Sure Step?

The yellow wrench is a diagnostic tool. How many times does it blink between pauses. Example might be 3 blinks then pause then 3 blinks then pause, over and over. Hoe many does your chair blink?

We are trying to move the chair and the service light keeps coming on

The service light indicates a problem. Count the number of flashes. ie flashes 4 times pauses flashes 4 times etc. If you have the owners manual the flash code section will tell you what the number of flashes mean: 3 flashes left motor 4 flashes right motor. You will have to contact a service company to repair the chair once you find out what flash code you have. If Medicare pirchaed the chair then they will pay for most of the repair cost. Hope this helps

Chair fully charged but quit running without for "no reason"

Are there any blinking lights? The number of lights that are blinking indicate what the problem is. Visit this site to locate the type on controller on your power chair and you will be able to see that the blinking lights mean:

Try to reset your manual brake release as this is a common problem.
Check all of your connections to ensure nothing has come loose. Ensure your batteries are not damaged and fully charged and that the fuses are good. If a power chair has been stored for a while the charger may indicate a full charge but the batteries are full of oxidized crud instead of power and need to be replaced.
If you continue to have a problem, contact your manufacturer or dealer for service. If your insurance purchased they power chair for you, they may also cover the cost of repairs.
Good luck!
