Error code 11 = fault with temperature sensor inside of motor.
I was told by dealer that I needed a new controller which is in the motor, made sense to me. I had to go to great extremes to find one though. Ordered one but, had to wait four to six weeks to get one for the bike I like to ride a few times a week. About fives weeks into the wait I get an email notifying me that the wrong controllers came in and I was going to have to wait another two or three months! So I did what I had to do…… I ordered a new motor, they were in stock. I still have a controller on order so my crazy plan is to remove controller off of the new motor and install it on my old one. This way when the new controller shows up I will still have a brand new spare motor so, that’s what I did.
I’m working on an idea to waterproof my original motor and that’s pretty much why I’m going this route, don’t want to experiment on the new one.
To the point! I put the new controller on, sealed the gasket among other things and I am still getting the error code 11 on startup without running it. So I’m thinking that the temperature sensor is not on the controller circuit boards. There are two small black wires that go from controller into the stator/armature section of the motor and my guess is they are connected to the sensor. There is a harness of two 4 wire plugs going into motor half that I’m guessing controls the motor speed and such. I’m leaning to the sensor is in the motor section connected to the black wires.
Hopefully there’s someone here that knows more about this stuff than I do and can point me in right direction.
