  • If you own a Yamaha electric golf cart and are experiencing power issues that mimic dead batteries, this video will help you troubleshoot and fix the problem. In this video, we'll focus on how to fix power issues on a Yamaha electric golf cart that has an AllTrax controller installed.
    First, we'll discuss the symptoms of the power issues and what causes them. The Yamaha electric golf cart will act like it has dead batteries, with little to no power, and may not be able to climb hills or carry heavier loads. We'll explain how the AllTrax controller can cause these symptoms and why it's important to identify the problem.
    Next, we'll walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and fix the problem. We'll start by checking the battery voltage, and then move on to checking the connections and wiring on the AllTrax controller. We'll also show you how to check the fuses and make sure they are not blown.
    Finally, we'll demonstrate how to fix the problem by replacing any faulty components, such as the AllTrax controller or fuses. We'll also show you how to reset the system to ensure that the new components are working correctly.
    By the end of this video, you'll have the knowledge and skills necessary to troubleshoot and fix power issues on your Yamaha electric golf cart with an AllTrax controller. You'll be able to get your golf cart back up and running smoothly, so you can enjoy all the benefits of owning an electric golf cart.

    Ok, let me start by saying thank you for sharing your experience with the machine. I was able to learn 3 or 4 significant points that I was unaware previously. But I was not able to follow your path of diagnosis to a point where the root cause was laid out and the critical point/part of failure was clearly identified.
    I think we all here may benefit for brief summary where you just hit the high points. List the facts directly that close/complete a successful service cycle.
    #1 machine type and the “pass state” of operational test. (How the damn thing supposed to work)
    #2 “failed state” op-test (what the machine is doing when we test it)
    #3 the “critical corrective act” what change was made (just give the action you took and what was acted upon) part name/number x was replaced, reconditioned, relocated, cleaned, reset, or repaired :note: do not give how it was found or any steps taken or gamy may test were performed. We just need to capture the raw facts of a successfully completed service ticket. The other stuff is also important but that’s not the point of the summary. It’s just a tool we all use to help make an any job easy to explain accurately so anyone can understand easily.
    #4 “Retest Results ” passed is the only answer we are reporting here. So #4 always gonna be the same as #1 minus the product info cause we already have it recorded.
    This is closing the loop or completing the circle. And will help all of us techs master and appreciate alike. I’m tired. After a long job that I may have struggled to solve for any reason. It’s nice to have in your worksheet or on a note in your pocket that I can refer to confidential as it allows me sone safety. I may set drug drown trying to explain some question the coustmer mentioned I. The parking lot which was more then talking but thinking aloud . That’s fine if I get caught with something while walking out to my car I’ll still be prepared for the test ha ha
    Hey man what did you say was taking so long today?
    Sir I always have to my work so everyone can go home happy. Sometimes those test can take longer than we might expect or would like. But that the job and the service we provide. I don’t ever know what I will find before I can get a good look at a new job. In your case I made repairs to the auxiliary wire harness.
    Cool thanks have a good one!
    You to sir!

    If you are driving an inductive load like a motor or electromagnet or solenoid, you can use a flyback diode (also called reverse emf diode) which is just a diode flipped backwards. That way when the the circuit is switched off the back currrent goes through the diode which shorts it out. This keeps the reverse spike from hitting transistor or computer circuits and damaging them. So that diode could be installed right or wrong depending on application. However generally will blow out quick if it’s just going across battery plus and minus with the proper polarity markings.

    If I take the cart to say auto zone would they have that software to run in the cart. I have brand new batteries that are showing 100% charge. Everything is connected properly, but it only drives until about 80% charge and then it’s dead. The lights are still working, but the cart won’t move.

    Hey Smitty, I have a few 2021 Yamaha Drive 2 ac fleet carts that I want to make faster. Iv done days of research but cant find anything on doing it my self. Iv gone thru forms telling me about IR scanners and genius programming, and all these different pda's. I just want them to go faster. How can I do this my self, where do i start?

    have a 2007 Yamaha 48 volt golf cart. It wont move. changed the solenoid out but wont click. Have voltage on positive big post and voltage on small post as well. I believe the ground on the small post isn’t working for the solenoid to click. would this be a bad controller?

      What controller are you running. Next you will have voltage on one side of the post for the solenoid when you hit the gas the voltage comes inline to b post opening the second big post to the motor. If your not getting voltage from post to post when the pedal is pressed the solenoid signal wire could be the issue. Then you need to trouble shoot that line there is a fuse in it as well

    Did this setup have the stock dc motor? I’m looking to upgrade my same setup to an alltrax controller and keep my dc motor
