    • bent pins
    • loose pins
    • contamination
    • moisture

If bent pins are found

Carefully straighten the pins if safe to do so.

Reconnect the display and test again.

If the issue remains

The display may require further inspection.

Please contact support.

If the pins appear normal

Inspect the controller and junction box wiring.


Step 3 – Inspect controller communication wiring

  1. Open the controller compartment cover.
  2. Locate:
    • the XHB8 connector between the display main line and junction box
    • the SM yellow/green 2-pin connectors between controller A and controller B
  3. Gently check whether:
    • red wires are loose
    • yellow wires are loose
    • connectors are incorrectly connected
    • pins are bent or contaminated

If loose or incorrect wiring is found

Reconnect the wiring securely and test the scooter again.

If the issue remains after reconnecting the wiring

The controller system or display main harness may require further inspection.

Please contact support with:

  • Photos of the wiring
  • A video showing the E30 error
