Likely causes

A stop function is active, or charger inhibit / OONAPU condition has occurred.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Release the stop condition (e.g. seat raised)
  2. Disconnect the battery charger
  3. Ensure the throttle is in neutral when turning on
  4. The throttle may need re-calibration

Switch off before unplugging anything. If the code stays after these checks, get a trained technician to look at it.
