2008 RXV drive fault

Rasor · 04-12-2021, 06:34 AM

Hi All
Looking at 2008 RXV and Danaher handheld is coming up with ‘Drive Fault’ under errors and ‘Power Reduction’ under warnings.
What I have noted is when the cart doesn’t work the above is displayed plus I only get 46.7v on the controller side of the solenoid and 50v on the battery side, at rest. When the cart works I get none of the error/warning messages plus I get virtually the same voltage (50v) on either side of the solenoid.
I did swap out the old solenoid, which was the original long skinny type.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Your cart calls for a 36v continues solenoid remember. Trombetta makes a good solenoid.

I think the solenoid may have an internal problem. If you replace it make sure you don't over tighten the nuts on the studs. If the post turns it can damage the solenoid.

Thanks for your reply however I made sure the terminals were not over tightened.
