Check for 12V at controller pins M1-M4, if no voltage check:

• Fuse on Gator Harness

• Chassis harness connection

• Spreader harness connection.

• Display harness connection.

• Spreader harness connection.

• Check continuity from control module pin A2 to spreader harness pin 4

• Check continuity from control module pin C2 to spreader harness pin 5

• A vibratory motor that has not been recently used can seize. A few light taps with a hammer or mallet on the motor will typically free the motor

The module will stop operating if it loses communication with the internal motor driver for more than 10 seconds. Power cycle the module. If the error is still active contact Superior Tech for support.

The motor driver checks if a load is connected between the positive and negative motor driver outputs before attempting to drive the motor. This is a latching fault to protect the electronics.

Verify that the connections at the controller terminals are properly secured, the wiring harnesses are not damaged, and all wiring harness connectors are properly connected. Verify that the motor is not damaged. The module must be power cycled to recover from the open circuit fault.

The motor driver will stop operating the spreader if the output current goes above 15A. This is a latching fault to protect the electronics. Verify that the motor is not damaged. A vibratory motor that has not been recently used can seize. A few light taps with a hammer or mallet on the motor will typically free the motor.

Attempt to free the vibratory before power cycling the module to recover from the over current fault.

The motor driver checks if the positive or negative motor driver outputs are shorted to battery positive (12V) before attempting to drive the motor. This is a latching fault to protect the electronics.

Verify that the connections at the controller terminals are not being bridged by any conductive material. Verify that the wiring harnesses are not damaged and all wiring harness connectors are properly connected.

Motor Driver 2 output shorted to battery negative




75C

The motor driver checks if the positive or negative motor driver outputs are shorted to battery negative (ground or 0V) before attempting to drive the motor. This is a latching fault to protect the electronics. Verify that the connections at the controller terminals are not being bridged by any conductive material. Verify that the wiring harnesses are not damaged and all wiring harness connectors are properly connected.

Motor Driver 2 is not responding at power up

Motor Driver 2 has lost communication for 10 seconds


No action is necessary. The module will continue operating the spreader with an internal FET temperature between 65C and

75C but will stop operating the spreader if the internal FET temperature rises above 75C.


The module must be power cycled to recover from a high voltage fault. Note that the Control Module high voltage fault is not the same as the Display Module high voltage fault.


18V. Note that the Control Module high voltage warning is not the same as the Display Module high voltage warning.

The module will stop operating the spreader if the system voltage falls below 8V. This is a latching fault to protect the electronics.

The module must be power cycled to recover from a low voltage fault. Note that the Control Module low voltage fault is not the same as the Display Module low voltage fault.

No action is necessary. The module will continue operating the spreader with a system voltage between 8V and 9V but will stop operating the spreader if the system voltage falls below 8V. Note that the Control Module low voltage warning is not the same as the Display Module low voltage warning.

The module will not operate if it cannot communicate with the internal motor driver at power up. Power cycle the module. If the error is still active contact Superior Tech for support.

The module will stop operating if it loses communication with the internal motor driver for more than 10 seconds. Power cycle the module. If the error is still active contact Superior Tech for support.

Motor Driver 1 and

Motor Driver 2 have different software versions

The module will not operate if the software loaded in the motor drivers does not match. Power cycle the module. If the error is still active contact Superior Tech for support.

Spreader Type stored in memory is not valid

The module will not operate if the software does not load the proper spreader type from internal memory. Power cycle the module. If the error is still active contact Superior Tech for support.
