5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LCD GD01 Display, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display does not power on. | Loose connection, no power from controller, incorrect voltage setting. | Check all cable connections, especially the 5-pin interface. Ensure your e-bike battery is charged and the controller is powered. Verify the display's voltage setting matches your battery (36V/48V). |
| Display shows "Communication Error" or no data. | Loose or damaged data wires (RX/TX), incompatible controller. | Inspect the green (RX) and yellow (TX) wires for damage. Ensure the display is compatible with your JN controller. Re-seat the 5-pin connector firmly. |
| Incorrect speed or mileage readings. | Incorrect wheel diameter setting, sensor issue. | Access parameter settings to verify and adjust the wheel diameter. Check the speed sensor on your e-bike for proper function and alignment. |
| Buttons are unresponsive. | Stuck buttons, internal fault. | Gently press buttons to ensure they are not stuck. If unresponsive, try powering off and on the display. If the issue persists, contact support. |
| Display backlight is too dim/bright. | Backlight setting. | Adjust the backlight brightness through the display's parameter settings. |
