Discussion:
Creep Speed only (No Codes)

I have an RD5200S AC. Creep/limp speed (<0.5mph) only with no codes. Can anyone tell me what voltage readings I should see at the "U" "V" & "W" motor leads at full travel command. All 3 AC motor leads are pulling 300+ amps at full travel demand. I looked at this though access 1 and also confirmed it with an amp clap direct on each lead.

I have already confirmed all my command inputs (POT1 etc.) are at spec.

I'm leaning toward a failed trac mot but would like a little more info to support my theory.

Thanks!

Yep sometimes access 3's don't throw codes

I've encountered this before, actually! I've noticed that sometimes my RMD or RD (RR Series) will go at a creep-only speed, but as soon as I turn the steering column enough to turn the wheel a small amount, I am given full speed control once again.

I've just shrugged it off as a quirk of my lift, and learned to deal with it.

Try calibrating the POT. And check the motor encoder input.

Dreamt I was fixing a machine, then came the paperwork and it turned into a nightmare.
Yes, RD5200S-AC

It was the Traction Mot.

What height does it think the forks are at? Also are you sure it is a 5200 and not a 5700? If 5700 it could be Access#4 module with the accelerometer.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
