Speed sensor
 

What would happen if i unplug my speed sensor on my 2004 Club Car IQ.

Re: Speed sensor
 

Its goes slow...real slow...IMHO the speed sensor is a safety device that allows the controller to read real motor rpms,

I just drove a customers yesterday that had the speed sensor unpluged at the motor and it ran fine at least 20 mph i never seen one do that anyone know why.

Re: Speed sensor
 

possibly not a stock controller?

Re: Speed sensor
 

yes everything is stock.someone out there knows how to bypass the sensor be interested to know how they did it.

Probably a high-speed magnet installed but the sensor was still connected.

Regen 1 and 2 carts run just fine without the speed sensor hooked up.

Your IQ carts' controller will look for the signal coming from the speed sensor. If it does not detect it, it will place you in Limp Mode. If you have it unplugged, then you have a faulty controller as I have played with them for testing with a hand-held, but never seen a way to bypass it and it still operate correctly without a signal. (Unless it was an aftermarket controller where you disable the speed limit)

100% correct, but the OP states it's a 2004 model, which would have to be IQ.

To the OP,

can we get a vehicle serial number? Maybe it's not really a 2004.
