Title: Help! Code 41 '13 Zero DS
Post by: Honor on May 18, 2015, 12:58:52 AM

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2013 Zero DS a month ago and already have an issue that won't allow me to drive it. I parked the bike at a hardware store only to come out to have the bike throw a code 41 which according to the manual is a temperature sensor error. Because of this the throttle is cut out completely . I ended up having to walk the bike back home 2 miles...Sigh

Are there any easy fixes to this problem? Also, I read somewhere that it may be a stuck contactor. So the question would be, where is the contactor (sorry for my ignorance)? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

Did you try to turn the key Off and ON ?

Yes, I probably cycled the key 100 times, No luck. I also plugged it into an outlet and get a code 23. ????

Pardon my ignorance but how are you getting these codes ? Are using an ODBII reader, do you have the 2014+ console, etc ...

I only ever get blink code indicators on my koso display :/

I get the blink codes. I assumed that's how they're read. Off the charger, it goes 4 blinks + 1 blink. On charger it's 2 blinks plus 3 blinks.
