Possible Causes
Loose motor connector, Damaged motor cable, Faulty right wheel motor encoder, Defective main board motor driver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn main switch OFF and remove the mower from the lawn.
- Check cable connections: Open the mower per manual and locate the right wheel motor connector on the main PCB. Ensure it is fully seated and cable insulation is intact.
- Inspect for damage: Look for crushed or cut motor wires along the chassis.
- Swap test (advanced): On some models, you can temporarily swap left and right motor connectors at the board to see if the error follows the motor or stays on the same side (only if clearly documented and safe in your service manual).
- Replace motor: If the error follows the motor, replace the right wheel motor assembly. If it stays on the same side, the main board may be faulty and require replacement.
