ONYX Jaws Mode Tuning (Where Performance Comes From)

This page is part of the ONYX Performance Guide

This guide defines the ONYX FarDriver JAWS MODE configuration.

• Complete this after AutoLearn
• Apply the configuration as defined below
• Use Parameters for detailed explanation of behavior

⚠️ Battery Cutout vs Controller Behavior (MaxLineCurr)

MaxLineCurr directly controls how much current is drawn from the battery.

If this value exceeds the battery or BMS capability, the system may:

• shut off abruptly under load
• cut power at high throttle
• reset or recover after releasing throttle or cycling power

This is not a controller fault.

This is the battery or BMS protecting itself from overcurrent.

Controller Current Capability (ND Series)

These values define the safe operating range of ND96680 and ND961000 controllers and apply across 72V, 84V, and 96V systems. Voltage does not change current limits, but higher voltage increases total power at the same current.

ND680

ND1000

Common Symptoms

• bike runs normally at low and mid throttle
• cuts out only under heavy acceleration
• returns to normal after throttle is released
• no persistent controller fault codes

Critical Understanding

Increasing MaxLineCurr increases total power draw.

If the battery cannot supply that current:

• voltage sag increases
• BMS protection may trigger
• system power will be cut

This behavior can feel like:

• random shutdown
• throttle failure
• unstable tuning

But the root cause is current demand exceeding battery limits.

Do not attempt to fix this by:

• increasing Phase Current
• adjusting throttle settings
• modifying other tuning parameters

These do not solve battery limitations.

→ See ONYX Jaws Mode Calibration → Battery Behavior and Current Limits before increasing MaxLineCurr further.

⚠️ Throttle Low / High Are Not Tuning Parameters

Throttle Low and Throttle High define the valid throttle signal range.
They are not used to shape throttle response or improve performance.

Do not adjust these values to:

• make the throttle feel faster
• reduce dead zone aggressively
• simulate a throttle curve
• compensate for weak or delayed response

Incorrect configuration will cause:

• throttle cutouts under load
• unstable or inconsistent power delivery
• invalid signal behavior and control errors

If the bike:

• cuts out at specific throttle positions
• behaves inconsistently without faults
• loses power under acceleration

the most common cause is incorrect Throttle Low / Throttle High configuration.

Do not attempt to tune around this behavior.

→ See ONYX Jaws Mode Calibration → Throttle Miscalibration Cutout Behavior before continuing.

Throttle Configuration

Domino throttle settings:

• Throttle Low: 0.6V
• Throttle High: 4.35V

Standard throttles:

• Throttle Low: 1.1V
• Throttle High: 4.3V

Note: If you receive a throttle error during auto learn, double check which throttle type you are using. Incorrect low/high voltage settings are the most common cause. Verify your throttle matches one of the configurations above and adjust accordingly.
