2006 Club Car Precedent speed issue

[Engdahl83]

I just recently purchased a 2006 Club Car Precedent with the knowledge the battery would need to be replaced and priced it accordingly. However, 1 week after purchase the top speed went from 20mph to 8mph. I replaced the batteries, charged them overnight and drove it with no change in the new 'top speed'.

Please submit any advice you may have. I will be rechecking all the cables to ensure they aren't breaking, but nothing struck me when I was removing/reinstalling the battery.

Thanks for your help.

your speed sensor is bad Key on, in forward, push forward and you should feel resistance if not speed sensors bad

I just checked and it does have resistance when I try moving it fwd when in fwd.

I'm a little at a loss as to where to look. It ran at 19-20 mph for a week and then 20 mins into a drive it felt like it was limited at 8-9mph. Fully charged, replaced, and fully charged those batteries and no change. My initial pickup is still strong, but it gets reigned back quickly.

Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

I still think its speed sensor, and an off chance the controller is overheating
also it should roll freely for about 3 ft then try to slow

How do I troubleshoot and repair?

on the schematic there is a 16 pin connector pins 13,14,15 are your speed sensor wires, put your volt meter on the black (-) and green (+) set on 10 volts and with key on in fwd push cart slowly see if meter reads 5vdc then 0vdc over and over

Thanks for your help. It was the speed sensor.
