TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
While the DriveRight 600 is designed to provide years of trouble-free
operation, occasional problems may arise. If you are having a problem
with your unit, please check the following guide before calling the fac-
tory. You will be able to solve many of the problems yourself. If, after
checking this guide, you are still unable to solve the problem, please
call the factory at 1-510-732-7814 for further instructions. You may also
check the support section of our website (www.davisnet.com) or send
e-mail to tech support (support@davisnet.com).
Please do not return your unit for repair without prior authorization.
Many of the troubleshooting suggestions below relate to the position-
ing of the magnet and sensor in driveshaft mounted DriveRight 600
units. If you have a VSS version, you should ignore these suggestions.
NOTE: We will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding
the operation of the DriveRight console. We cannot, however,
answer any questions relating to the installation of the unit in
your vehicle.
I can’t turn my lamps off.
Make sure you are in the current readings screen when you
hit +.
When operating on batter power, the LCD segments are faint.
Battery power is low. Replace the battery (see “Battery Oper-
ation” on page 24).
The BAT segment is on when the unit is plugged into the car.
The unit is not getting primary power (from the vehicle’s bat-
tery). Check the fuse in the power line for your car.
My buzzer is faint or not audible when the unit is operating on
battery power.
This is normal.
My DriveRight 600 and my speedometer do not agree.
From the calibration screen, use the PLUS and MINUS keys
to fine-tune the calibration.
NOTE: The DriveRight 600 responds to changes in speed
faster than most speedometers.
My speed is intermittently reading zero while driving.
This could be one of two things. First, make sure the speed
sensor is within 10-16 mm (3/8"- 5/8") of the magnet. If it is,
make sure the installed speed sensor protrudes at least 20
mm (3/4") from the bracket.
