hi yes code 8 is a controller error try ringing a pride spare parts to c if they have reco ones .....very expensive new ones try monster scooter parts ...good luck

A 9 flash indicates a brake issue. Make sure the motors/brakes are both locked into gear before turning on the chair. It could mean that one of the motors is unplugged from the main controller or a wire is broken between the motor/brake and the main controller.

It is typically the cable leading from the joystick to the control unit. Disconnect it and reconnect it. Check the cable for any cuts or pinches that could cause a short. There are a number of issues that creates the 9 flashes. The code just means there is a disconnect somewhere. If you can take the chair to a DME company who can place a programmer on it to read the fault codes, it could help locate the issue.

Typically when a joystick flashes 9 times, it indicates there is a problem with the solenoid brake(s). I recommend contacting Pride Mobility for a Certified Technician in your area to look at this chair.

This problem may depend on which main controller your chair has fitted. It should be a Penny & Giles GC controller. US versions should have a GC3 whilst here in the UK, it would be fitted with a GC2. However, the diagnostic flash codes for these two controllers should be the same. The reason im slightly confused is that you say 5 flashes mean your charger is connected at power up, when in fact it should be a Right Motor Wiring Fault. 9 flashes is indeed a Solenoid Brake Fault, or in other words, the wheelchair is in 'Free Wheel' as you have described. Therefore, IF your controller is in fact a Penny & Giles GC, 7 flashes would mean a Joystick fault. There is not much you can do to diagnose this other than checking connections between the Joystick and main controller. If these are OK, it is likely that a new Joystick controller will be required as having these fixed is usually not cost affective. Hope this is of some help to you.

Hi!

Those lights flashing show an error code. Depending on how many times they are flashing, the meaning is different. I found out for you a link to the service manual, where those codes are described:

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

mtp see the below list
The listed Flash codes are pretty standard and are applicable to powerchairs only not scooters:

1 flash User Fault (do not touch joystick) and turn back on

2 flashes Battery Fault Recharge batteries or replace

3 Left motor fault check connections or replace

4 Right motor fault check connections or replace

5 Left park brake fault check freewheel lever or brake connections

6 Right park brake fault check freewheel lever or brake connections

7 Remote fault check connections and wiring replace remote(joystick) (Check cable to the joystick unplug connector at rear of chair and plug back in then try turning on to see if you are getting same code)

8 Controller fault Check connections and wiring replace controller

9 Communication fault check cable replace (almost same problem as 7) try same fix if doesn't work joystick will have to be replaced

10 and 11 are unusual and will not be seen if at all Hope this helps you

tam The batteries need to be replaced. With the lights flashing indicating low voltage and the chair just creeping means weak batteries. With a donated chair you do not know how long the chair sat without being charged. You need to purchase 2 U1 batteries. If there is a battery warehouse store near you or an Interstate battery store check with them because your cost will be less than going through a provider. Hope this helps you
