Sorry if you thought you were going to get all the error code meanings on this thread - I don't have them. :rolleyes: But between us all, we should be able to compile a list. So, please post any error codes you get from your PT and the associated meanings (if you know or as they become available). One thread to bring it all together might be helpful.

Was no list circulated at the fest?

Dealers do not have a list of error codes yet. Segway is working on a list of codes to publish. First they wanted to have them so that everyone would HAVE to call in so they could keep track of what errors were occuring. Now they are working on dealer/consumer friendly descriptions of the error codes and will deploy the list on their website (so they can capture the inquiries). There is no timeline set yet but it IS being worked on.Guess I'll just post a link here when it goes live. Until then, any info we find could still go here.

I discovered this error code when playing with the second infokey I received. If you start the Segway with one infokey, and shut it down with the second infokey, the first infokey shows this error code: E012

Error code C040:

As far as I can tell, this error code is displayed when the wheels loose traction while in rider balance mode. After about 5 seconds of displaying the error message, the segway powers down completely.


I've gotten this twice so far:

Once after getting off to lead it up a curb. It takes a second or two for the seg to drop back to riderless balance mode after getting off, especially if the mats are cold; I suspect they don't 'pop back up' as quick. It was still in full rider balance mode when I leaned it forward for it to go up the curb. With the snow, the wheels didn't have enough traction to climb the curb and started spinning. Because it was still in 'rider' mode, it applies power way quicker than when 'riderless'. It spun the wheels for a second or so, and shuts down with C040.

The second time, also related to snow: Going up a snow covered grass hill slowly. Wheels lost traction (with me on it), forcing me to step forward to avoid falling. Wheels continued to spin for a second until C040 and power down.

C108: Batteries too cold?

I got C108 nearing the end of my trip. I was down to 1 bar at -6c (21F). I was getting flat face on level ground at about 15km/h. I went up a slight hill, and only got about 8km/h. Zigzagging through some metal barriers (desinged to keep cars out?) at the end of the pathway hill, I was getting stick shake, ie 'your demading too much power'. A few seconds later, I got a safety shutdown that wasn't low battery related, as I still had one bar. I'm assuming the batteries couldn't hold enough voltage to maintain the headroom the segway wanted.

I started it back up and came back carefully.

E086 is an error in the propulsion subsystem.

If the problem keeps occuring, the base needs to be replaced.

I've gotten this error with a safety shutdown four times now - twice in a row today. It appears to occur if I take off either uphill or downhill too soon after stepping on in balance mode. The 'hill' doesn't need to be at all steep either. Actually, it may not be a safety shutdown. It beeps like one, but doesn't shut off when I step off - I have to shut it off manually. I'll experiment to try to get more information.

E102 & E10A

I contacted Barbara in Customer Service this morning, and she said error E102 means one controller board is having a problem communicating with the batteries, and that the suggested test is to swap packs front to back. Did that, and now get error E10A. She says that means the other controller is having trouble. She couldn't say whether that indicates a bad pack, or bad power base.

Similar symptom noted here:

Today, I rode to a Home Depot and parked (with security on) outside the front door to just buy a couple of light bulbs. When using the self check, I put the info key and helmet on the metal plate for goods just before scanning them. While walking back to the seg, I noticed "E E" was on the infokey. I couldn't get rid of it, so just removed the battery to reset it then everything was fine. I did have to reset the date, time, etc. Has anyone else experience this? I'm sure it had to do with being near the scanner.

do the recalibration , thats what segway told me to do.
I drained the batts just like the manual told me and
no more codes so far-- my new x2 is working great.
they say your x2 only works as good as the worst battery
this rebalances them. anyway it worth a try.

After swapping batteries, I got an e102 message .. the off-board charger had gotten the contacts on the batteries dirty. If you use more than one set of batteries, check the contacts for cleanliness.

After cleaning the contacts (pencil eraser + air can method) the error disappeared.

I got this one, with a safety shutdown - three times in less than a block, going down a rather steep hill in Seattle on a full charge - one hour after unplugging.

I guessing it's the Seg's way of saying that the hill is so steep that even forcing you to slow down isn't enough to prevent overcharging.

Getting a shutdown on a steep hill is frustrating. It's difficult to restart and find level when the Seg is trying to roll away.

It has been released to dealers, some time ago.

It is not a document, it is an online tool, thus is, always current.
Dealers with online access to the Dealer Extranet can answer questions like this, but cannot give you a print out.

So if you have a problem, contact your local dealer ( as always ) and seek guidance.

I hadn't been back here for a while, so just found your description.

The i2 was charged in a warm garage, transported in a warm car, and produced the shutdowns with error C208 just after being removed from the car - on a pleasantly warm morning. So that definitely doesn't fit.

I had my second unexplained mid-intersection 'safety' shutdown this morning. The last occurred a couple months ago, and it acted exactly the same both times.

After waiting for the signal I started into the intersection, going down a gentle curb cut. There was no problem until halfway across, when I got a sudden pull-back, stick shake and beeping. Being in the middle of the intersection, I didn't concentrate on checking the error code - just on getting out of the way of traffic, so E104 may be wrong. I do remember seeing the wrench.

Pushed to the curb, restarted, and had no problems after that.

It occurred to me that since the Seg is known to be susceptible to RF from some store security systems, it might also be susceptible to RF from cel phones or some other source. A long shot, but I'd prefer to think it might be that instead of an internal problem.

I discovered this error code when playing with the second infokey I received. If you start the Segway with one infokey, and shut it down with the second infokey, the first infokey shows this error code: E012

I stopped for coffee on the way to work, and left the Seg in standby mode with the infokey attached. When I went to leave, I found the Seg powered down - as expected, but the infokey was still turned on, with an E012 error code. Since it apparently thought the Seg was still running, it wouldn't let me start it without first resetting the infokey by releasing the back. I don't carry the spare infokey with me, so this can't be what Dave described.

Could be the same cause though. In the two infokey case, the first infokey didn't know that the segway was going to power down, it just did. In the one infoeky case, possibly the infokey didn't 'hear' the communication from the segway that it was powering down due to a standby time-out. While riding, i've noticed the infokey loose rf link with the segway for a second or two at a time. Even though I'm quite near. (standing on it)

A long shot, but I'd prefer to think it might be that instead of an internal problem.Here's a two page article that explains how susceptible or resilient 2.4 Ghz RF devices (wi-fi, bluetooth, zigbee, etc.) are to interference with each other.

http://www.wirelessnetdesignline.com/howto/60401206;jsessionid=WY5LTZGBQRTAAQSNDLPCKHSCJUNN2J VN?pgno=1

As far as I know, the store security systems don't interfere with the infokey communication, but some systems may interfere with either the gryo sensors or the motor sensors on a much lower frequency, somewhere in the khz to hundreds of khz region of the RF band. On the gen1, the symptom is stick shake and possible safety shutdown. I don't recall whether anyone with a gen2 has experienced and reported the symptoms yet.

I usually let my i2 drain off a little charge by letting it run in RBM against the wall (in a warm garage) while I eat breakfast. Still, it usually starts pushing back before I reach the bottom of the hill, so I just turn around, go uphill a little way, then start back down, and don't get any more pushback.

This morning I waited less than a minute before taking off. Partway down the hill I got the usual pushback, so started heading uphill. The i2 brought me to almost a full stop, so I took it real easy, waiting for it to realize that the batteries were now draining - not charging, but it never figured it out, and would barely let me move. Eventually I even got a little stick shake. So I decided to try going back downhill again - slowly. That's when it shutdown altogether with a C100 error.

After a little messing around in the dark I finally got it restarted, and from then on had no problems.

I had mine quit on me yesterday afternoon, in the middle of a mall parking lot! I got the code E086, and had to walk it home. Every block I tried again, and on the 3rd try the error code changed to E407. I brought it home and charged it up (It was on 7 bars).

I got the same error this morning, so I took my racks and bags off and gave it a quick hose to remove yesterday's mud.

Call INC and ask what the error codes are. They should be able to tell you. Considering it wouldn't start immediately after shuting down, I'd want to know what it was complaining about. Both codes too. Good that it starts now, but the description of the error might give you a clue as to whether it is likely to happen again.

Did any of the mud/water get into the charging port? if so it maybe shorted out until you cleaned it. just a thought. also, 'cause you stay Hawaii, maybe the batteries overheated (combo of hot weather and reflection of hot pavement) and they did not cool correctly until you got home. be sure not to get that charging port submerged, (ie stay out of the taro fields).

GlennO
11-07-2007, 11:36 PM
No, there was only about 1/2" at best of mud in just a few places. The tire tread picked it up. I basically washed it out to clean it up before the dealer showed up. Of course, he hasn't replied to my emails yet. They keep wierd hours here.

As for the heat, that isn't a factor either. After the rain it was relatively cool - about 82 or so. I've been out riding at 89 degrees so many times it isn't funny. I've got pavement all the way too.

I haven't taken it back out yet. Inc. really didn't give me any good answers. I just hope and pray that I don't have to pull it home. I decided to swap the batteries. If it does break down again maybe I'll get lucky and get another code.

The really wierd part is that I will have had it for one year exactly - in another 7 days! I haven't crashed on it - ever. It has fallen over a few times while it was locked up, but that is it.

Wish me luck!

I was going down to the local dealer to check out the new parking stand, but apparently the i2 is telling me it doesn't want one. It displayed E014 and would not start. I tried removing/swapping/reinstalling the batteries, but that didn't cure it.

Prior to this several weeks ago it displayed a red light on one of the charge indicators, which followed the battery when swapped. However the machine started normally, and after that the red light did not come back for a few weeks. Battery range has appeared to be very healthy. But I noticed the red light again a few nights ago, and again cured it by starting/stopping the machine. Now it's still showing green lights on both batteries today, but it is now displaying the error and will not start.

The dealer is requesting an RMA from INC.

Any thoughts?

This won't work. The i2 needs AF Li-Ions, and most i180's come with AB Li-Ions or AC Li-Ions. For those that may not realize what the two letters before "Li-Ions" means in the last sentence, each Li-Ion battery has a Rev number.

We run into this problem all the time in polo.

ps - I do remember a post from Pete a few months ago saying that one of his i180 batteries had been drained to the point of not taking a charge. If he replaced that Li-Ion, then he quite possibly may have a spare AF Li-Ion battery, because any new Li-Ion battery being sold today is AF Li-Ion.

Actually, that's not quite what happened with that failed battery (even though off-charge for certain periods, it never appeared to get dangerously low and it was not the keyport maintenance battery) but whatever... I didn't buy a new battery at the time - Segway replaced it with a good used battery and all has been well since then. I don't know whether the replacement is AF or not yet. I think I'll wait and see the results of the RMA request and if there is any feedback on the error code.

Can a dealer not get the definitive list from INC?

Does Senior Member mean your age or your time being a "member?"

What indicated if you get no reading other than the antenna indicator at the bottom and the normal reading at the very top. Nothing. Segway replaced both batteries last fall and when I brought them out of dry, clean, warm storage nada, not a thing. I plugged in the charger and got one red light and after two day still got one red light and no reading on the info key.

What do you think? I've contract Segway but they have not responded. Sent two EM but nothing. I plan to call tomorrow. Any directions to a site for assistance?

What's the deal if you get no reading on you Info key on X2's? My info key shows the antenna at the bottom and some numbers at the very top but nada. Also the battery indicators do not light up. They did when I initally plugged the unit into line voltage but then blank no blinking. Andy ideas? What can I push to get a reading on the info key?
Looking at all of your posts, I don't see where anyone has explicitly stated the problem. If you already realize what happened, I am sorry; I don't mean to be repetitive.

As noted in the owners manual:
Do not store your Segway PT or Batteries without fully charging the Batteries for at least 12 hours, once a month.

The reference manual says:
The Segway PT's charging system is automatically controlled to prevent overcharging. Plug your Segway PT into a grounded AC power outlet when it is not in use, even if you do not plan to use it for an extended period of time.

I think most owners would advise NEVER leaving it off charge. The reasons are numerous. One or both of the Lithium Ion batteries is powering circuitry even when the unit is turned off. The batteries will self-discharge even when disconnected from the unit. Further, to avoid recharging batteries which have been damaged by discharging too far and creating possibilities of internal arcing and fires, their is a threshold voltage below which the batteries cannot be recharged.

If I read your posting correctly, you stored the unit without charging for many months. One or both batteries have probably dropped below the minimum level. A quick substitution of known good batteries would tell you in an instant if that is the problem. Finding a fellow owner to help you check would be easier if you would fill in your location in your profile.

also, now it is suggested to fully charge your batteries and then remove them from your machine if you are going to store it without charge for over three weeks.

all dealers are now receiving machines and batteries separately, to increase the storage/discharge time.

Just picked up a new I2 & a new X2 over the last week. Within 3 miles of riding, the X2 started kicking the speed limiter in prematurely (on any slope of any kind pretty much)...I parked it. I was told that the problem sounded like the batteries weren't fully charged and/or the infokey wasn't properly "synch'd" with the battery level and that I should discharge the unit and then recharge the batteries overnight. Did it, and things were better, but still not right (still overreacting to any slope/gradient) based on my experience with my other segway (I2). Put another 5 miles on it (now up to almost 8 miles on the odometer) and parked it. Went back to ride it later and it wouldn't go into balance mode - instead it would shutdown (not sure what the official name is when it beeps and shuts down)...anyway, I got error code "E082". Didn't find it here in the list (or anywhere else on line) so I thought I'd add it in case anyone else hits it.

The dealer here in Seattle called someone (I assume at Segway inc) and was told:

E082 = failure of the power base... The fix is for Segway to send out a new platform base and swap out my wheels/fenders/handlebar/etc....

So - I'm down to just a single I2 for the next week or two until my new X2 is returned to me with the new power base.:(

Just remember that an x2 and i2 ride differently, where the i2 will go fast up or down hills, the x2 is more cautious about it. They both will race equally on the flat, but hills and other areas the x2 slows down and gives you the face!


Sorry to hear that the Segway Gremlins got to your new x2, but with a new power base you should be fine. Sadly sometimes these things happen, but that is why having a good dealer is important to take care of these things and make them non-problems.

Saturday, I started a new charging method. Only charge after I'm down to 1,2 or 3 bars to prevent premature battery replacment by utilizing too many recharge "cycles" just to top off the batteries. So, I run around town, let the Kid use it to get me a Father's Day gift at the local store. End of the night it still has 4 Bars so I leave it unplugged, figuring that I'll use a Bar or two tommorrow and then charge it to full during the next overnight.

Startup Sunday afternoon. It goes to 3 Bars and error code "E027" flashes with a wrench and Trigger shut downs. Try it a couple times, same result. Decide to go through the Startup Process: it goes throught the sequence and then the Rear battery light flashes GREEN, goes RED and stays RED while the Front battery light goes to all GREEN. Error Code says the E027: The Rear CU Board reports: Fault detected in the battery pack. Try shutdown, unplug, startup, shutdown, plug in several times and get the same result.

Segway Chat talks a lot about moving the batteries front to back, back to front to see if you get the same result which tends to make one believe that it is the battery pack. I do this and now get Error Code E02F. Can't find an exact match to the definition but conclude that it probably is the battery pack since the GREEN light nows illuminates the Rear Battery light on Startup and the Front Battery light flashes GREEN and then goes to solid RED and stays RED. Same condition, reverse result when switching batteries Front to Back, Back to Front.

I'm thinking its the battery and will contact my Dealer on Monday. If anyone can offer some advice, thanks. Or, as it appears, if anyone has one (1) li-ion battery, I might be in the market. That is if you can replace just one.

I removed and reset the batteries and the x2 worked again. I turned it off then started it up and got this error code:

Just stopped by to introduce myself. My name is Shannon and my Segway is named Myles. I have had Myles, my Segway, for almost a year now. This is out of the norm and can not figure this out yet is when I start him up everytime I go on a glide, I go to stand on him and he growls at me and gives me an error code of "C200" and the exclamation mark in the triangle. His eyes are closed at this time which immediately turns into a sad face. I turn him off, then turn him back on a 2nd time and he repeats his growl along with his error code with the face senerio. Then this time around, without fail, I turn him back on for the 3rd time and he is A-OK and off we go. I have determine that he does not like it when I get him out of his bed.

Then there is something else that Myles does and he has down this twice now The battert icon shows up when I have him fully charged and he is smiling.

If anybody has experienced this, please let me know and would be much appreciated.

Sorry, no, I don't know the answer to that.

Dealers have an online 'error code checker', so we can check any error code and always know that we get the up-to-date information.
That way we don't have to check document revisons against code revisions, and all that error prone sort of stuff.

It is a very effective and efficient plan by Inc to have it as an online resource.

However, we cannot simply count the number of error messages.

You are right, they could.

What is the industry norm ?
Do auto manufacturers, TV manufacturers, appliance and whitegoods manufacturers make all that sort of info available freely and publicly about their products and diagnostic tools ?

As a dealer, I think that the current status is about right.
If an owner has a problem, they have a firm incentive to contact us for guidance.
We get to keep tabs on problems.

Yet I can understand that owners would like more information, and directly.

Let's see...

Every car manufactured since 1996 has an OBD2 (On Board Diagnostic II) jack to which you can connect a reader available at any auto store or Amazon or etc... for $30-$90.

Every computer (PCs at least, I'm not up on Macs) since around 1980 runs a POST (Power On Self Test) with well-published "Beep" codes for diagnosing hardware failures...

The most bug-ridden software in the world (Microsoft Windows, in its various flavors) has the largest online Knowledge Base documenting each of its thousands and thousands (if not millions) of error codes...

So I guess I'd say that there is plenty of precedent for them to make that same diagnostic information available. That way owners wouldn't have to compile lists and stickies such as on this board that may well be out of date, when a simple published link would give current information.

In fact, I would be willing to bet that most owners would applaud INC's doing so. It's not like it would be ruinous to the dealers' repair business. :eek:

terryp

(E014 apparently signals detection of a fault in the rear controller board)

Last week I had a safety shutdown with this error code for the fourth time. (I posted earlier on this thread that I thought it was E104.) This time I nearly lost my balance and fell off as I was starting a turn when the shutdown occurred.

The stange thing is that it happened at the same curb as two of the other three times. About a block from work, waiting for the light, doing a smooth one foot curb drop, and getting the shutdown halfway across the street. (The other time it happened stepping off the curb in front of the door at work.)

I theorized that there might be some RF energy in that neighborhood that's causing it, maybe in the same way as the security systems have been reported to do. Does anyone know what error code is displayed when that happens, or what frequency to suspect? It's also strange that the problem didn't occur until just after leaving the curb.

If this is an RF susceptability issue, couldn't both boards fault at the same time? Seems to me that the controller boards would be pretty well shielded by the base, and that the controllers in the batteries would be more susceptable.

I believe that vehicle sensing systems at intersections use low frequency RF applied to loop coils. If that frequency was similar to that used by the store security systems, ... just a thought.

Terry,
A few months back, I took a bad fall in the middle of an intersection when my i2 seemed to go berserk -- in fact it felt like the "reversal of direction" that the recall was to prevent. No, I didn't step off the platform; I just slowed abruptly and then speeded up. Suddenly the LSF came back an hit me in the chest (I think). One second I was in total control and the next, I was on the asphalt. I, too, have been suspicious that some kind of circuitry in the lights/cameras/sensors screwed up the Seg. I did not see any error code -- I was too caught up checking my body parts. Since then, I've been very cautious crossing intersections.

BTW, do you still have the battery problem(s)? I was and have since switched to a new pair.

I answered your question the other day, but sadly neglected to comment on your accident. I hope you didn't get hurt too badly.

You'd think that the engineers must have considered other sources of 'interference' that could cause emergency shutdowns (or worse) once they were aware that security systems can effect the Seg. The possiblility of low frequency RF sources in the pavement we glide causing problems is a little unnerving.

Should one of us report our shutdowns and suspicions to Inc?

I called the dealer and he had to call INC. They told him that it could be one of sevsral things or all of them. They told him thet they would have to send it to them for diagnostics. They said it could be motor, signal to the motor or control circuit. Dealer siad it could cost $1200 to $1800 as a guestimate.

Hey buddy I have a guy that is a tech for Segway and the E042 code is that you have a bad battery... I had the problem took it to him and put a new back battery in it and ran fine...mime was bad but he said in the cold sometimes the batteries will throw that code...I am trying to find a way right now online for the way he told me he has done it before... he sent a power boost charge to it..brings it up above the 70 some volts it needs to be recognized to charge again...and as soon as you take it off from over charging it throw it on an onboard charger! !

the pickup tension from this resistor is sensed by group of: the analog insulation amplifier HCPL-7840 (the white smd DIL8) and from here is amplified with an LM6132 (smd dil8 rail-to-rail amplifier) wich prepare the result of the current and transmit to an analog imput of the TMS320_LF2406A MCU to inform about the torque and triphase equalisation of the motor.

the problem was an unwanted offset on LM6132 wich was solved by injecting courent in the middle point of resistors R102 and R108 via a 50Kohm potentiometer mounted parallel on this two resistors, then trim the potentiometer to compensate offset. this worked for me. the cu is saved and i2 works 100% correct without any error.

My X2 started up fine this a.m......took a little jaunt and then plugged it back in. An hour later noticed one light was green and the top one red. I unplugged it for about 2 minutes and that didn't help. I tried to start it up anyway after unplugging it and got all flashing red lights with EO2F error code. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Put the machine in security mode, plug it in to charge, and see if the lights go green after it reaches full charge.

Fault is in front battery,
This is happening when not all the cells are measuring same voltage,
or one cell voltage is out of range.

Machine starts up, gives error code E044, then shuts back down. At one point the code changed to a E04C. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

While in the middle of a perfectly lovely glide along the ocean-front road in beautiful Half Moon Bay, I got the dreaded BBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT and an E086. Can anyone tell me what this is going to cost me?

E086 is an error in the propulsion subsystem, so it definitely sounds like a power base issue.

Try resetting the Segway by taking the batteries off the base for an hour or so, and then putting them back on and attempting to start the machine up.

YMMV...

Error code C040:

As far as I can tell, this error code is displayed when the wheels loose traction while in rider balance mode. After about 5 seconds of displaying the error message, the segway powers down completely.


I've gotten this twice so far:

Once after getting off to lead it up a curb. It takes a second or two for the seg to drop back to riderless balance mode after getting off, especially if the mats are cold; I suspect they don't 'pop back up' as quick. It was still in full rider balance mode when I leaned it forward for it to go up the curb. With the snow, the wheels didn't have enough traction to climb the curb and started spinning. Because it was still in 'rider' mode, it applies power way quicker than when 'riderless'. It spun the wheels for a second or so, and shuts down with C040.

The second time, also related to snow: Going up a snow covered grass hill slowly. Wheels lost traction (with me on it), forcing me to step forward to avoid falling. Wheels continued to spin for a second until C040 and power down.

I got this error code when experimenting with a jacked Segway. It was "jacked" on a plastic box below the batteries, e.g. to dismount both wheels at a time.
I wondered what will happen when I activate riderless balance mode (by pressing one mat contact down).
Since the whole thing wasn't perfectly leveled the wheels very slowly started to spin in riderless balance mode. By moving the LSF the wheels did respond accordingly - but still quite slowly.
Then I activated rider balance mode (by pressing both contacts of a mat) and was actually a bit surprised that the Segway apparently tried to keep balance with full power and resulting heavy wheel spin :eek: for some seconds before powering down automatically. Infokey showed C040 and, I guess, the last measured "speed" of about 30km/h [/:(]
So just be careful with such experiments... [:O]

That was because I try to turn on a segway to balance mode without both tyres. :)

Where is this wrench? When the wrench appears on a info key, there is often a code with it.

If you are talking about an XT, there is a display on the handlebar, which can also have a wrench, and in that case, the outer segments of display are very significant.

E10A Informe CU B CU - BCU DOWN


What is the BCU and is it hardware, software or battery related. Since only one (1) battery is "red light", I'm assuming it is battery related.

I'm going to switch front to back and retry but, perhaps after 8+ years and 9,000 miles it's time for an MTO refresh. York here I come!!!! Right down arsenal highway!

All input and help appreciated. Thanks.

sometimes i powering well runs a few minutes, the the wrench came and after few soconds E10A the powers off.
is powering on corectly after let`s say 10-15 tryes.

E10A is the CAN communication interrupted between the CU and battery controller.
put wrapping wires between the resistors and the pads where the battery connector are soldered.

Sorry if you thought you were going to get all the error code meanings on this thread - I don't have them. :rolleyes: But between us all, we should be able to compile a list. So, please post any error codes you get from your PT and the associated meanings (if you know or as they become available). One thread to bring it all together might be helpful.

Was no list circulated at the fest?
can i tap onto a seg lithium battery without setting off a "code"im wanting to run my 12 volt strip lights then later aheadlight i realize i will have to reduce the voltage from 72 v. to 12 volts for these leds. it would be easier just to plug the one thing in to charge. had a stroke im pretty laid up still.im inclined to leave her alonei now use rechargeable hand drill batteries

Bought one 2008 Gen2.a X2 with E80E code.
I fix the unit using a Gen2a i2 CU board as donor hardware.
Using Digital Signal Processor chip (TMS chip) from original X2 CU PCB,
moved to donor i2 CU.
Look at pictures.
First pictures is about prepairing, last step is final with chip soldered, and working.
Now unit is full functional.

Hi All,

My X2 threw error code E026. I've researched and found this code to be: "E026 CU A MOTOR WINDING TEMP FAULT". The same error code at another site is "E026 Actuator Fault CU A Reporting MOTOR WINDING TEMP FAULT Power base fault Follow SART diagnostic manual Replace power base."

Do I understand this correctly in that I am to replace Motor A?

Thank you!

Are you getting this error code all the time or did it just happen once or twice?

Even if you were doing regular gliding the computer(s)/sensor(s) can get confused every once in a while and force a shutdown and/or error code.

Hello! It happened and then I put the machine to charge. I came back after several hours and unit operated for half mile before faulting again.

Thank you, I love and miss my Segway. I have a SCI. I hope to get back soon.
