The systems turns on, you get assistance with the throttle but no proportional assistance. The driveshaft is misaligned. Go to your BionX dealer and have him reset the driveshaft notch to 6 o’clock.
The system turns on but you don’t get any assistance from the motor. The wiring to the motor is disconnected. 1. Turn you system off
2.  Unplug and plug back both wires going to the motor.
The system goes into regenerative mode when the brake is not on. The brake sensor has moved away from the magnet. 1.

Re-align the brake sensor so it goes into regenerative mode only when you apply the brake.

2. Press both “crono” and -G to decrease contrast.
The console display is not correctly visible. Needs a full battery cycle. Fully discharge the battery and recharge it.

2. Unplug the charger from the wall socket and from the battery. Move the voltage selector switch back and forth several times from 115 to 230, and reset firmly to 115.
3. Turn the charger back on.
