What This Means
Motor hall sensor connector or motor drive connector (GY3) disconnected; Cracked or damaged rotor magnet; Stator winding resistance out of range (should be 5–15 Ω for U-V, V-W, W-V)
How to Fix
- 1
Check GY3 connector (motor drive) and hall sensor connector; reconnect if disconnected
- 2
Inspect rotor magnet for cracks; if cracked, replace rotor
- 3
Remove GY3 connector and measure winding resistance at connector terminals: U=1, V=2, W=3; check U-V, V-W, W-V; acceptable range 5–15 Ω
- 4
If winding resistance is out of range, replace the stator
- 5
If all connections and resistances are within spec, replace main PCB assembly
