Putting this Gem back together and when I turn the key on the dash lights up and everything but it shows 16mph on the screen and the wrench icon is lit up to the right. Won’t go but all the electronics work like the wipers, horn etc. getting 89.9 volts running 27 3.3v batteries. Not my cart doing this for a friend just kinda lost.

Error code 16 is over voltage. Won’t run over 86 volts.  
25s or 26s lifepo4 is the most we usually run.

Error code 16 is over voitage, Just turn on the wiper, headlights and any other 12 v accessory to drain the battery a bit, then turn the key off , and back on, until it says zero.
