AThe safety key / magnetic clip is not fully engaged
BA motor control board overcurrent protection trip
CA pending software update notification on the console

Correct Answer

A pending software update notification on the console

Software update prompts do not cause immediate hardware shutdowns. Immediate stops are typically caused by missing safety key signals, overcurrent protection, thermal cutouts, or speed sensor faults.
