Diagnostic guides for TXT and RXV models. Step-by-step troubleshooting, multimeter test procedures, and parts cost ranges for the most common E-Z-GO failures.
E-Z-GO produces two main electric platform families: the TXT (1994–present) and the RXV (2008–present). Knowing which you have matters before you diagnose anything — the RXV uses an AC motor and regenerative braking; the TXT uses a DC series-wound motor. The repair procedures differ significantly at the controller and motor stages.
The TXT runs on either a 36V pack (six 6V batteries, older models) or a 48V pack (six 8V batteries, post-2010). It uses a Curtis or Alltrax DC series controller and a forward/reverse switch mounted in the dash or under the seat. This is the most common E-Z-GO platform in the field and the easiest to self-repair.
The RXV runs exclusively on 48V and uses an AC induction motor with regenerative braking. The controller (a proprietary E-Z-GO/DanaherMotion unit) communicates over a CAN bus. Some fault codes can be read with a simple voltmeter via the tach/comm port; others require the E-Z-GO Diagnostic Reader. If the RXV shows error codes in the dash, note them before doing anything else — they're specific enough to isolate the problem without guessing.
2010+ TXT models use the DeltaQ QuiQ charger, which has a LED flash-code system. Pre-2010 TXT models use the PowerWise charger. The RXV uses its own proprietary charger. Flash codes vary between platforms — use the brand-specific guide below.
