The Rear CU Board reports:


And nothing is listed for this!

Thanks Will, I wasn't even on the platform, I'd leant it against the wall in the basement of my office after arriving. As you say, I either did it myself or it's the ghost in the machine

i got a code e107 over the weekend not sure what it means. ran fine after it shutdown.

(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 have updated the Error codes on the WIKI hope this helps.

I get an e167 code all the time. It means there's a problem with your mechanical kickstand, auto-deploying the e-stand.

funny but not useful to me

Assuming you're asking about my most recent battery problem, where one pack on my i180 went bad while constantly plugged in, but not ridden for months, I've decided to just wait until spring to replace it. (Hopefully it, and not them!)

I had forgotten that it was a 180. But that is good info, since it rules out a questionable battery as being the cause, or making it more susceptible.

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?
