Code 30 on Radrover 5

[dmaloney52]

First time posting, so thanks for the acceptance.  I have a 2017 Radrover with a weird problem. The problem is sporadic.  I can be riding for an hour (More or less), then all of a sudden I feel the bike shutting down.  I look at the display and it shows ERROR CODE 30.  I turn the bike back on, sometimes it powers up for 15-30 seconds, then shuts down again.  When the display shuts down, I still have power for a short period of time, then shuts down completely.  I have communicated with Rad and went through the ERROR CODE 30 procedure, cleaned all the connections and terminals, but it still happens.  I am leaning to the controller and I asked how much and can't get an answer from Rad.  TIA

Error 30 is an abnormal communication that could be caused by a number of things. Unplug the throttle to see if that fixes it. If not, then unplug each brake wire. Then try the PAS sensor. Unplug motor and display to be sure the connections are seated. While apart inspect the pins to be sure they are straight.

Ultimately Rad suggests replacing the controller and wiring harness first, then the display. But they also warn that the new controller could become corrupted by whatever the original issue was. So it may be prudent to replace controller, wiring and display all at once.

Confused? Understandable. Error 30 could be caused by so many things.

I got the same experience from RAD. I emailed asking if they still sell a controller and rear brake light for a Radrover 5 and RAD did not answer. They answered my other questions but would not answer for the controller. Mine is out of warranty.
