Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the battery and charger before opening the electronics compartment. Static discharge precautions are recommended.
- Visual inspection: Remove the main board cover and inspect for burn marks, corrosion, or obvious component damage.
- Check for moisture: If condensation or water is present, dry the area thoroughly and identify the source of ingress (damaged seals, cracked housing).
- Reseat connectors: Carefully disconnect and reconnect all major harnesses to ensure good contact.
- Firmware recovery: If Segway provides a recovery or reflash procedure (via app or USB), attempt to reinstall the firmware.
If E18 remains after these steps, the main control board will generally need replacement and re‑pairing with the mower’s components.
