Hi
I am trying to replace a faulty controller on a Halford Pendleton Somerby electric bikes but unsure if I have the motor position signals wired correctly. The controller is a Brainpower 36v with S866 LCD and the motor is a Bafang. Currently I get error codes E07 & E08 however the position signals check out OK on a tester so I ma thinking they may be incorrectly wired in a phase/rotation sense. Is there a way of determining the correct wiring?

Only by trial and error, there are 36 wire combo's in total to try. You may get lucky by swapping over just a pair of the phases.

Does the controller have self-learning wires? I thought all Brain Power controllers did.

I over looked reading the Brainpower bit . If it has the self learn process, it should be automatic if done correctly.

Nealth and vfr400 thanks for your advice. Its wired correctly now, did it by working through wiring interconnection chart.
