This fork has broken down once again. I was getting a code 7. I noticed that the pedal was loose and when I went to investigate, i noticed that the hinge screw was almost completely out. It appears that there should be a lock nut , washer or some sort of threadlocker on this component so it doesn't unscrew overtime.. Any way, I got the assembly back on track. Anyhow, Now I am getting and error code 8. When I run the diagnostic mode, all of the switches seam to be working. and the POT reads 9volts when the petal is up and 1.2 volts when the petal is fully depressed. The directional switches read correctly and the accelerator start switch reads correctly with a pot voltage of 4 when it is switched. I would be most appreciative if one of you would point me in the right direction.
