πŸ” What "Error 2" Usually Means:

  • Most commonly: No signal or loss of communication from the speed sensor to the control board

  • Sometimes: Console is not receiving feedback from the motor or belt is not moving as expected

βœ… Step 1: Safety First – Unplug the Treadmill

Before doing anything:

  • Turn off the treadmill using the switch (if it has one)

  • Unplug from power socket

  • Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to discharge any stored electricity

βœ… Step 2: Check the Speed Sensor

The speed sensor is usually mounted near the front roller or motor flywheel.

  1. Locate the speed sensor (small magnet or optical sensor near the front roller or motor).

  2. Inspect for dust, debris, or magnet misalignment.

  3. Clean the sensor using a dry cloth or cotton swab.

  4. Ensure the sensor gap (distance between sensor and magnet) is 2–3 mm.

  5. Check the wire from the sensor to the controller – it should not be loose, pinched, or damaged.

βœ… Step 3: Examine the Motor Control Board

  • Visually inspect the control board (usually under the motor hood).

  • Look for:

    • Burn marks

    • Loose or cracked solder joints

    • Damaged components

  • Ensure all wire connectors are tightly seated (especially the one coming from the console and the one going to the motor).

βœ… Step 4: Test the Motor

If the belt doesn’t move:

  • With power OFF, manually rotate the belt to check if it moves freely.

  • If stiff or stuck, check the rollers and lubrication.

  • You can test the motor using a battery pack or multimeter if needed (advanced users only).

βœ… Step 5: Power On and Observe

  • Plug the treadmill back in.

  • Turn it ON and see if the display now works without Error 2.

  • Press START – if the motor moves and the speed updates, the problem is likely resolved.

βœ… Step 6: Update or Reset the Console (if applicable)

Some treadmills allow a factory reset or firmware update:

  • Refer to the user manual for how to access engineering or diagnostic mode

  • Perform a reset if Error 2 persists despite all hardware checks

βœ… Step 7: Replace Faulty Parts (if necessary)

If the error still appears:

  • Likely suspects:

    • Faulty speed sensor

    • Defective motor control board

    • Worn motor brushes

  • Replace the faulty part. Speed sensors and boards are relatively easy and affordable to swap.

πŸ”§ Quick Tips:

  • Use a multimeter to test voltage if you’re comfortable.

  • Always match part numbers when ordering replacements.

  • If under warranty, contact manufacturer before opening the motor hood.

  • If out of Warranty , Contact Power Break Fitness by :
