Throttle seems stuck
So I just installed my new Alltrax XCT 500 controller that was replaced under warranty. The old one failed (details)
The cart only goes about 1 MPH in forward and reverse. Looking in the Alltrax Toolkit monitor, the throttle appears to be stuck on 24-25%. 24% when I don't have my foot on it. 25% when floored. Any ideas on what the issue is? |

Re: Throttle seems stuck
no error code on unit?
Post a pic of Controller settings - I don't know much about it but just got one myself and had a few flaws while instaling. |

Re: Throttle seems stuck
No error code. Not flashing anything. None of the flags are set in the monitor screen.

Re: Throttle seems stuck
Odd that you don't get any flashing lights at all. No green or red in any combo when throttle engaged?

Re: Throttle seems stuck
Looks like you've got a XCT that is made for a Club Car with an IQ drive installed in a EZGO TXT48.
The model number at the upper left of the Toolkit screen should say XCT48500-TXT-48 rather than XCT48500-IQ. |

Re: Throttle seems stuck
Possibly, but I'd call Alltrax and get the correct one, or at least get the firmware flashed to a XCT48500-TXT-48.
The reason it isn't moving is most likely because it is set to a CC 5k-0k resistive throttle rather than an EZGO ITS. That can be changed using the toolkit program. Without the laptop connected, how many time does the LED flash green when the XCT powers up. (IIRC: It powers up when key is turned on) It should be 4 green flashes for an ITS. (When a laptop is connected, the XCT stays powered up when key is off.) |

Re: Throttle seems stuck
My original Alltrax controller that failed was the same IQ model on my TXT48. Sounds like I need to talk to ScottyB and Alltrax.

Re: Throttle seems stuck
I changed the throttle type in the Toolkit from Club Car to EZGO ITS. Seems to have corrected the issue and the throttle goes from 0 to 100% in the monitor. I will do a street test when it quits raining.
Anything else I should check? Thanks all! |
