6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your BAFANG C020 Ebike Display.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Display does not power on.	Loose cable connection. Low or depleted ebike battery. Incompatible motor or protocol.	Check all cable connections, especially the 5-pin male connector, ensuring they are securely seated. Charge your ebike battery. Verify that your ebike motor is a compatible BAFANG CAN protocol model (M620, M600, M560, M510, M420).
Incorrect speed or distance readings.	Improper wheel circumference setting. Speed sensor issue.	Access the display menu to verify and adjust the wheel circumference setting according to your tire size. Check the speed sensor and its magnet for proper alignment and cleanliness.
Pedal assist not working or inconsistent.	PAS level set to 0. Loose motor or PAS sensor connection.	Ensure the PAS level is set to 1 or higher using the remote control. Inspect all motor and PAS sensor connections for security.
Display shows lower than expected motor power (specific to some setups).	Incompatibility with specific ebike controller/motor firmware.	While the display accurately reports power, some specific ebike models (e.g., certain Fischer pedelecs) may experience a perceived reduction in maximum power output when paired with this display compared to their original display. This is often due to the ebike's controller firmware rather than a display malfunction. Consult your ebike manufacturer or a qualified ebike technician for potential firmware updates or compatibility advice.

If you encounter issues not listed here or if the suggested solutions do not resolve the problem, please contact BAFANG customer support or a certified ebike technician.
