Re: Issue with CIM/Jaguar

Try a different Jag and see if the problem remains. Your current one might be flaky.

If you still have the problem with a different jag, there's probably some friction or resistance somewhere that's causing you to draw too much current. Running the wheel in does a few things to reduce your current draw. Namely, it warms up any grease in your system, wears down anything adding friction, and warms up your motor, increasing its resistance. All of those things could be combining to drop your start up current draw to just below the fault level.
